                           Kemper Value+Growth Fund


Kemper Blue Chip Fund (the "Blue Chip Fund"), Kemper Growth Fund (the "Growth
Fund"), Kemper Small Capitalization Equity Fund (the "Small Cap Fund"), Kemper
Technology Fund (the "Technology Fund"), Kemper Total Return Fund (the "Total
Return Fund") and Kemper Value+Growth Fund (the "Value+Growth" Fund)
(collectively, the "Funds") currently offer four classes of shares to provide
investors with different purchasing options. These are Class A, Class B and
Class C shares, which are described in the prospectus, and Class I shares,
which are described in the prospectus as supplemented hereby.

   
Class I shares are available for purchase exclusively by the following
investors: (a) tax-exempt retirement plans of Kemper Financial Services, Inc.
("KFS") and its affiliates; and (b) the following investment advisory clients
of KFS and its investment advisory affiliates (including Kemper Asset
Management Company ("KAMCO")) and Dreman Value Advisors, Inc. ("DVA") that
invest at least $1 million in a Fund: (1) unaffiliated benefit plans, such as
qualified retirement plans (other than individual retirement accounts and
self-directed retirement plans); (2) unaffiliated banks and insurance companies
purchasing for their own accounts; and (3) endowment funds of unaffiliated
non-profit organizations. Class I shares currently are available for purchase
only from Kemper Distributors, Inc., principal underwriter for the Funds.
Share certificates are not available for Class I shares. 
    

The primary distinctions among the classes of each Fund's shares lie in their
initial and contingent deferred sales charge schedules and in their ongoing
expenses, including asset-based sales charges in the form of Rule 12b-1
distribution fees. Class I shares are offered at net asset value without an
initial sales charge and are not subject to a contingent deferred sales charge
or a Rule 12b-1 distribution fee. Also, there is no administrative services fee
charged to Class I shares. As a result of the relatively lower expenses for
Class I shares, the level of income dividends per share (as a percentage of net
asset value) and, therefore, the overall investment return, will be higher for
Class I shares than for Class A, Class B and Class C shares. 

The following information supplements the indicated sections of the prospectus.

</TABLE>
    

The purpose of the preceding table is to assist investors in understanding the
various costs and expenses that an investor in Class I shares of a Fund will
bear directly or indirectly.

   
As discussed in the prospectus under "Investment Manager and Underwriter,"
effective May 31, 1994, the investment management fee for the Blue Chip, Growth
Technology and Total Return Funds changed. "Management Fees" have been restated
based upon the new management fee. The base management fee for the Small Cap
Fund is .65% and is subject to a maximum upward or downward performance
adjustment of .30% of 1%. The Value+Growth Fund commenced the public offering of
its shares on __________, 1995, thus estimated expenses are shown for only the
one and three year periods. KFS has agreed to temporarily reduce its management
fee and reimburse or pay certain operating expenses for the Value+Growth Fund 
as described in the prospectus. Without this waiver, "Management Fees" would be
 .72% and estimated "Total Operating Expenses" would be 87%. See "Investment
Manager and Underwriter" in the prospectus. 
    

"Other Expenses" for Class I shares, which were not available for purchase prior
to May 31, 1994, have been estimated for the current fiscal year. 

The Example assumes a 5% annual rate of return pursuant to requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. This hypothetical rate of return is not
intended to be representative of past or future performance of any Fund. THE
EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED TO BE A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES. ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESSER THAN THOSE SHOWN. 

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS 

No financial information is presented for Class I shares since no Class I shares
of any Fund had been issued as of the end of a Fund's fiscal year.

SUMMARY
 
INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES. The six open-end, diversified management investment
companies (the "Funds") covered in this combined prospectus are as follows:
 
KEMPER BLUE CHIP FUND (the "Blue Chip Fund") seeks growth of capital and of
income.
 
KEMPER GROWTH FUND (the "Growth Fund") seeks growth of capital through
professional management and diversification of investment securities having
potential for capital appreciation.
 
KEMPER SMALL CAPITALIZATION EQUITY FUND (the "Small Cap Fund") seeks maximum
appreciation of investors' capital.
 
KEMPER TECHNOLOGY FUND (the "Technology Fund") seeks growth of capital.
 
KEMPER TOTAL RETURN FUND (the "Total Return Fund") seeks to obtain the highest
total return, a combination of income and capital appreciation, consistent with
reasonable risk.
 
KEMPER VALUE+GROWTH FUND (the "Value+Growth Fund") seeks growth of capital
through professional management of a portfolio of growth and value stocks.
 
   
The Funds may purchase put and call options, engage in financial futures
transactions, invest in foreign securities, engage in related foreign currency
transactions and lend portfolio securities. The Technology Fund may also write
(sell) put and call options. The Funds may invest up to 25% of total assets in
foreign securities. See "Investment Objectives, Policies and Risk Factors."
    
 
   
RISK FACTORS. There is no assurance that the investment objective of any Fund
will be achieved and investment in each Fund includes risks that vary in kind
and degree depending upon the investment policies of that Fund. The returns and
net asset value of each Fund will fluctuate. Investment by the Small Cap Fund
primarily in smaller companies and the emphasis of the Technology Fund on
smaller emerging growth technology companies involve greater risk than
investment in larger, more established companies. Foreign investments by the
Funds involve risk and opportunity considerations not typically associated with
investing in U.S. companies. The U.S. Dollar value of a foreign security tends
to decrease when the value of the U.S. Dollar rises against the foreign currency
in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when the value of the
U.S. Dollar falls against such currency. Thus, the U.S. Dollar value of foreign
securities in a Fund's portfolio, and the Fund's net asset value, may change in
response to changes in currency exchange rates even though the value of the
foreign securities in local currency terms may not have changed. While a Fund's
investments in foreign securities will principally be in developed countries,
the Fund may invest a portion of its assets in developing or "emerging" markets,
which involve exposure to economic structures that are generally less diverse
and mature than in the United States, and to political systems that may be less
stable. A portion of the assets of the Total Return Fund may be invested in
lower rated or unrated high yield bonds which entail greater risk of loss of
principal and interest than higher rated fixed income securities. There are
special risks associated with options, financial futures and foreign currency
transactions and there is no assurance that use of those investment techniques
will be successful. See "Investment Objectives, Policies and Risk Factors."
    
 
PURCHASES AND REDEMPTIONS. Each Fund provides investors with the option of
purchasing shares in the following ways:
 

Class A Shares............ Offered at net asset value plus a maximum sales
                           charge of 5.75% of the offering price. Reduced sales
                           charges apply to purchases of $50,000 or more. The
                           redemption within one year of Class A shares
                           purchased at net asset value under the Large Order
                           NAV Purchase Privilege may be subject to a 1%
                           contingent deferred sales charge.
 

Class B Shares............ Offered at net asset value, subject to a Rule 12b-1
                           distribution fee and a contingent deferred sales
                           charge that declines from 4% to zero on certain

<PAGE>   8
 
                           redemptions made within six years of purchase. Class
                           B shares automatically convert into Class A shares
                           (which have lower ongoing expenses) six years after
                           purchase.
 

Class C Shares............ Offered at net asset value without an initial or
                           contingent deferred sales charge, but subject to a
                           Rule 12b-1 distribution fee. Class C shares do not
                           convert into another class.
 
Each class of shares represents interests in the same portfolio of investments
of a Fund. The minimum initial investment is $1,000 and investments thereafter
must be at least $100. Shares are redeemable at net asset value, which may be
more or less than original cost, subject, in the case of Class A shares
purchased under the Large Order NAV Purchase Privilege and for Class B shares,
to any applicable contingent deferred sales charge. See "Purchase of Shares" and
"Redemption or Repurchase of Shares."
 
INVESTMENT MANAGER AND UNDERWRITER. Kemper Financial Services, Inc. ("KFS")
serves as investment manager for each Fund. KFS is paid an investment management
fee by each Fund based upon average daily net assets of that Fund at an
effective annual rate that differs for each Fund. Dreman Value Advisors, Inc.
("DVA"), a wholly owned subsidiary of KFS, is the sub-advisor for the
Value+Growth Fund and is paid a fee of .25% of average daily net assets of that
Fund by KFS. Kemper Distributors, Inc. ("KDI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of
KFS, is principal underwriter and administrator for each Fund. For Class B
shares and Class C shares, KDI receives a Rule 12b-1 distribution fee of .75% of
average daily net assets. KDI also receives the amount of any contingent
deferred sales charges paid on the redemption of shares. Administrative services
are provided to shareholders under administrative services agreements with KDI.
Each Fund pays an administrative services fee at the annual rate of up to .25 of
1% of average daily net assets of each class of the Fund, which KDI pays to
financial services firms. See "Investment Manager and Underwriter."
 
DIVIDENDS. Each Fund normally distributes dividends of net investment income as
follows: annually for the Growth, Small Cap, Technology and Value+Growth Funds;
semi-annually for the Blue Chip Fund; and quarterly for the Total Return Fund.
Each Fund distributes any net realized short-term and long-term capital gains at
least annually. Income and capital gain dividends of a Fund are automatically
reinvested in additional shares of that Fund, without a sales charge, unless the
shareholder makes a different election. See "Dividends and Taxes."
 
GENERAL. In the opinion of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
the use of this combined prospectus may make each Fund liable for any
misstatement or omission in this prospectus regardless of the particular Fund to
which it pertains.

(4) Long-term shareholders may pay more than the economic equivalent of the
    maximum initial sales charges permitted by the National Association of
    Securities Dealers, although KDI believes that it is unlikely because of the
    automatic conversion feature described under "Purchase of Shares -- Deferred
    Sales Charge Alternative -- Class B Shares."
    
(5) As a result of the accrual of 12b-1 fees, long-term shareholders may pay

(8) Assumes conversion to Class A shares six years after purchase and was
    calculated based upon the assumption that the shareholder was an owner of
    the shares on the first day of the first year and the contingent deferred
    sales charge was applied as follows: 1 year (3%), 3 years (2%), 5 years (1%)
    and 10 years (0%). See "Redemption or Repurchase of Shares -- Contingent
    Deferred Sales Charge -- Class B Shares" for more information regarding the
    calculation of the contingent deferred sales charge.
 
   
The purpose of the preceding table is to assist investors in understanding the
various costs and expenses that an investor in a Fund will bear directly or
indirectly. See "Investment Manager and Underwriter" for more information.
Effective May 31, 1994, the investment management fee for the Blue Chip, Growth,
Technology and Total Return Funds changed. "Management Fees" have been restated
based upon the new management fee.
    
 
The base management fee for the Small Cap Fund is .65% and is subject to a
maximum upward or downward performance adjustment of .30 of 1%. The table
reflects the base management fee without any performance adjustment. The actual
management fees paid by Class A, Class B and Class C shares during the last
fiscal year were .74%, .47% and .47%, respectively. Differences in the
management fee among the classes were due to differences in time periods during
which shares were available for purchase and stock market activity. Class B and
Class C shares were not offered until May 31, 1994.
 
   
"Other Expenses" for Class B shares and Class C shares, which were not available
before May 31, 1994, have been estimated for the current fiscal year.
    
 
   
The Value+Growth Fund commenced the public offering of its shares on           ,
1995, thus estimated expenses are shown for only the one and three year periods.
KFS has agreed to temporarily reduce its management fee and reimburse or pay
certain operating expenses to the extent necessary to limit the Fund's "Total
Operating Expenses" to the levels indicated in the tables above. Without such
waiver and reimbursement, "Management Fees" would be .72% and estimated "Total
Operating Expenses" for Class A, B and C shares would be 1.62%, 2.40% and 2.37%,
respectively.
    
 
   
The Example assumes a 5% annual rate of return pursuant to requirements of the
Securities and Exchange Commission. This hypothetical rate of return is not
intended to be representative of past or future performance of any Fund. THE
EXAMPLE SHOULD NOT BE CONSIDERED TO BE A REPRESENTATION OF PAST OR FUTURE
EXPENSES. ACTUAL EXPENSES MAY BE GREATER OR LESS THAN THOSE SHOWN.

Notes:
(a) Per share data were determined based on average shares outstanding.
 
Ratios have been determined on an annualized basis. Total return is not
annualized and does not reflect the effect of any sales charges. The Funds are
organized as separate Massachusetts business trusts. As discussed under

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES, POLICIES AND RISK FACTORS
    
 
The following information sets forth each Fund's investment objective and
policies. Each Fund's returns and net asset value will fluctuate and there is no
assurance that any Fund will meet its objective.
 
BLUE CHIP FUND. The Blue Chip Fund seeks growth of capital and of income. In
seeking to achieve its objective, the Fund will invest primarily in common
stocks of well capitalized, established companies that the Fund's investment
manager believes to have the potential for growth of capital, earnings and
dividends. Under normal market conditions, the Fund will, as a fundamental
policy, invest at least 65%, and may invest up to 100%, of its total assets in
the common stocks of companies with a market capitalization of at least $1
billion at the time of investment.
 
In pursuing its objective, the Fund will emphasize investments in common stocks
of large, well known, high quality companies. Companies of this general type are
often referred to as "Blue Chip" companies. "Blue Chip" companies are generally
identified by their substantial capitalization, established history of earnings
and dividends, easy access to credit, good industry position and superior
management structure. "Blue Chip" companies are believed to generally exhibit
less investment risk and less price volatility than companies lacking these high
quality characteristics, such as smaller, less seasoned companies. In addition,
the large market of publicly held shares for such companies and the generally
high trading volume in those shares results in a relatively high degree of
liquidity for such investments. The characteristics of high quality and high
liquidity of "Blue Chip" investments should make the market for such stocks
attractive to investors both within and outside the United States. The Fund will
generally attempt to avoid speculative securities or those with significant
speculative characteristics.
 
Examples of "Blue Chip" companies currently eligible for investment by the Fund
include, but are not limited to, companies such as Pfizer Inc., Merck & Co.,
Inc., Hewlett-Packard Company, AT&T Company, General Reinsurance, J.P. Morgan &
Co., Union Pacific Corporation and PepsiCo. Inc. While the Fund's portfolio will
not be limited to the examples noted and need not contain any specific security,
companies of this general quality comprise a relatively small, select group. In
general, the Fund will seek to invest in those established, high quality
companies whose industries are experiencing favorable secular or cyclical
change. Thus, the Fund in seeking its objective will endeavor to select its
investments from among high quality companies operating in the more attractive
industries.
 
   
As indicated above, the Fund's investment portfolio will normally consist
primarily of common stocks. The Fund may invest to a more limited extent in
preferred stocks, debt securities and securities convertible into or
exchangeable for common stocks, including warrants and rights, when they are
believed to offer opportunities for growth of capital and of income. The Fund
may also purchase options, engage in financial futures transactions, purchase
foreign securities, engage in related foreign currency transactions and lend its
portfolio securities. See "Special Risk Factors--Foreign Securities" and
"Additional Investment Information" below. The Fund may engage in short sales
against-the-box, although it is the Fund's current intention that no more than
5% of its net assets will be at risk. When, as a result of market conditions
affecting "Blue Chip" companies, a defensive position is deemed advisable to
help preserve capital, the Fund may temporarily invest without limit in
high-grade debt securities, securities of the U.S. Government and its agencies,
and high quality money market instruments, including repurchase agreements, or
retain cash.
    
 
The Fund does not generally make investments for short-term profits, but it is
not restricted in policy with regard to portfolio turnover and will make changes
in its investment portfolio from time to time as business and economic
conditions and market prices may dictate and as its investment policy may
require.
 
There are risks inherent in the investment in any security, including shares of
the Fund. The investment manager attempts to reduce risk through diversification
of the Fund's portfolio and fundamental research; however, there is no guarantee
that such efforts will be successful. The investment manager believes that there
are opportunities for
 
                                       10
<PAGE>   17
 
growth of capital and growth of dividends from investments in "Blue Chip"
companies over time. The Fund's shares are intended for long-term investment.
 
GROWTH FUND. The Growth Fund seeks growth of capital through professional
management and diversification of investments in securities it believes to have
potential for capital appreciation. In seeking to obtain capital appreciation,
the Fund may trade to some degree in securities for the short-term. To this
extent, the Fund will be engaged in trading operations based on short-term
market considerations as distinct from long-term investment based upon
fundamental valuation of securities. However, the Fund will emphasize
fundamental research in attempting to identify under-valued situations which it
is hoped will appreciate over the longer term. The Fund's investment policy may
involve a somewhat greater risk than is inherent in the ordinary investment
security. Since any income received from such securities will be entirely
incidental, an investor should not consider a purchase of Fund shares as
equivalent to a complete investment program.
 
In seeking to achieve its objective, it will be the Fund's policy to invest
primarily in securities which it believes offer the potential for increasing the
Fund's total asset value. While it is anticipated that most investments will be
in common stocks of companies with above-average growth prospects, investments
may also be made to a limited degree in other common stocks and in convertible
securities (including warrants), such as bonds and preferred stocks. The Fund
may also purchase options, engage in financial futures transactions, purchase
foreign securities, engage in related foreign currency transactions and lend its
portfolio securities. See "Special Risk Factors--Foreign Securities" and
"Additional Investment Information" below. There may also be times when a
significant portion of the Fund's assets may be held temporarily in cash or
defensive type securities, such as high-grade debt securities, securities of the
U.S. Government or its agencies and high quality money market instruments,
including repurchase agreements, depending upon the investment manager's
analysis of business and economic conditions and the outlook for security
prices.
 
Some of the factors the Fund's management will consider in making its
investments are patterns of increasing growth in sales and earnings, the
development of new or improved products or services, favorable outlooks for
growth in the industry, the probability of increased operating efficiencies,
emphasis on research and development, cyclical conditions, or other signs that a
company is expected to show greater than average capital appreciation and
earnings growth.
 
SMALL CAP FUND. The Small Cap Fund seeks maximum appreciation of investors'
capital. Current income will not be a significant factor. The Fund is designed
primarily for investors with substantial resources and the investment experience
to consider their shares as a long-term investment involving financial risk
commensurate with potential substantial gains.
 
The Fund seeks attractive areas for investment opportunity arising from such
factors as technological advances, new marketing methods, and changes in the
economy and population. Currently, the investment manager believes that such
investment opportunities may be found among the following: (a) companies engaged
in high technology fields such as electronics, medical technology, computer
software and specialty retailing; (b) companies having a significantly improved
earnings outlook as the result of a changed economic environment, acquisitions,
mergers, new management, changed corporate strategy or product innovation; (c)
companies supplying new or rapidly growing services to consumers and businesses
in such fields as automation, data processing, communications, marketing and
finance; and (d) companies having innovative concepts or ideas.
 
As a non-fundamental policy, at least 65% of the Fund's total assets normally
will be invested in the equity securities of smaller companies, i.e., those
having a market capitalization of $1 billion or less at the time of investment,
many of which would be in the early stages of their life cycle. The investment
manager currently believes that investment in such companies may offer greater
opportunities for growth of capital than larger, more established companies, but
also involves certain special risks. Smaller companies often have limited
product lines, markets, or financial resources, and they may be dependent upon
one or a few key people for management. The securities of such companies
generally are subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements and may be less
liquid than securities of larger, more established companies or the market
averages in general.
 
                                       11
<PAGE>   18
 
The Fund's investment portfolio will normally consist primarily of common stocks
and securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stocks, including
warrants and rights. The Fund may also invest to a limited degree in preferred
stocks and debt securities when they are believed by the investment manager to
offer opportunities for capital growth. The Fund may also purchase options,
engage in financial futures transactions, purchase foreign securities, engage in
related foreign currency transactions and lend its portfolio securities. See
"Special Risk Factors--Foreign Securities" and "Additional Investment
Information" below. When a defensive position is deemed advisable, it may,
without limit, invest in high-grade senior securities and securities of the U.S.
Government and its instrumentalities or retain cash or cash equivalents,
including repurchase agreements.
 
In the selection of investments, long-term capital appreciation will take
precedence over short range market fluctuations. The Fund does not intend to
engage actively in trading for short-term profits, although it may occasionally
make investments for short-term capital appreciation when such action is
believed to be desirable and consistent with sound investment procedure.
Generally, the Fund will make long-term rather than short-term investments.
Nevertheless, it may dispose of such investments at any time it may be deemed
advisable because of a subsequent change in the circumstances of a particular
company or industry or in general market or economic conditions. For example, a
security initially purchased for long-term growth potential may be sold at any
time when it is determined that future growth may not be at an acceptable rate
or that there is a risk of substantial decline in market price. The rate of
portfolio turnover is not a limiting factor when changes in investments are
deemed appropriate. In addition, market conditions, cash requirements for
redemption and repurchase of Fund shares or other factors could affect the
portfolio turnover rate.
 
Since many of the securities in the Fund's portfolio may be considered
speculative in nature by traditional investment standards, substantially greater
than average market volatility and investment risk may be involved. There can be
no assurance that the Fund's shareholders will be protected from the risk of
loss inherent in security ownership.
 
TECHNOLOGY FUND. The Technology Fund seeks growth of capital. In seeking to
achieve its objective, the Fund will invest primarily in securities of companies
which the investment manager expects to benefit from technological advances and
improvements ("technology companies") with an emphasis on the securities of
companies that the investment manager believes have potential for long-term
capital growth. Receipt of income from such securities will be entirely
incidental. Technology companies include those whose processes, products or
services, in the judgment of the investment manager, are or may be expected to
be significantly benefited by scientific developments and the application of
technical advances in industry, manufacturing and commerce resulting from
improving technology in such fields as, for example, aerospace, chemistry,
electronics, genetic engineering, geology, information sciences (including
computers and computer software), metallurgy, medicine (including pharmacology,
biotechnology and biophysics) and oceanography. This investment policy permits
the investment manager to seek stocks having superior growth potential in
virtually any industry in which they may be found. The above objective and
policies may not be changed without shareholder approval.
 
The investment manager currently believes that investments in smaller emerging
growth technology companies may offer greater opportunities for growth of
capital than investments in larger, more established technology companies.
However, such investments also involve certain special risks. Smaller companies
often have limited product lines, markets, or financial resources; and they may
be dependent upon one or a few persons for management. The securities of such
companies generally are subject to more abrupt or erratic market movements than
securities of larger, more established companies or the market averages in
general. Thus, investment by the Fund in smaller emerging growth technology
companies may expose investors to greater than average financial and market
risk. There is no assurance that the Fund's objective will be achieved.
 
The Fund's investment portfolio will normally consist primarily of common stocks
and securities convertible into or exchangeable for common stocks, including
warrants and rights. The Fund may also invest to a limited degree in preferred
stocks and debt securities when they are believed to offer opportunities for
capital growth. The Fund may also purchase and write options, engage in
financial futures transactions, purchase foreign securities, engage in related
foreign currency transactions and lend its portfolio securities. See "Special
Risk Factors--Foreign
 
                                       12

Securities" and "Additional Investment Information" below. When a defensive
position is deemed advisable, the Fund may, without limit, invest in high-grade
senior securities and securities of the U.S. Government and its
instrumentalities or retain cash or cash equivalents, such as high quality money
market instruments, including repurchase agreements. The Fund's shares are
intended for long-term investment.
 
The Fund may invest up to 10% of its total assets in entities, such as limited
partnerships or trusts, that invest primarily in the securities of technology
companies. The investment manager believes that the flexibility to make limited
indirect investment in technology companies through entities such as limited
partnerships and trusts will provide the Fund with increased opportunities for
growth of capital. However, there is no assurance that such investments will be
profitable. Entities that invest in the securities of technology companies
normally have management fees and other costs that are in addition to those of
the Fund. Such fees and costs will reduce any returns directly attributable to
the underlying technology companies. The effect of these fees will be considered
by the investment manager in connection with any decision to invest in such
entities. Securities issued by these entities are normally privately placed,
restricted and illiquid.
 
The Fund purchases securities for long-term investment, but it is the investment
manager's belief that a sound investment program must be flexible in order to
meet changing conditions, and changes in holdings will be made whenever deemed
advisable.
 
TOTAL RETURN FUND. The Total Return Fund seeks the highest total return, a
combination of income and capital appreciation, consistent with reasonable risk.
The Fund will emphasize liberal current income in seeking its objective. The
Fund's investments will normally consist of domestic and foreign fixed income
and equity securities. Fixed income securities will include bonds and other debt
securities (such as U.S. and foreign Government securities and investment grade
and high yield corporate obligations) and preferred stocks, some of which may
have a call on common stocks through attached warrants or a conversion
privilege. The percentage of assets invested in specific categories of fixed
income and equity securities will vary from time to time depending upon the
judgment of management as to general market and economic conditions, trends in
yields and interest rates and changes in fiscal or monetary policies. The Fund
may also purchase options, engage in financial futures transactions, engage in
foreign currency transactions and lend its portfolio securities. See "Special
Risk Factors--Foreign Securities" and "Additional Investment Information" below.
 
As noted above, the Fund may invest in high yield fixed income securities which
are in the lower rating categories and those which are unrated. Thus, the Fund
could invest in some instruments considered by the rating services to have
predominantly speculative characteristics. Investments in lower rated or
non-rated securities, while generally providing greater income and opportunity
for gain than investments in higher rated securities, entail greater risk of
loss of income and principal. Currently, it is anticipated that the Fund would
invest less than 35% of its total assets in high yield bonds. For a discussion
of lower rated and non-rated securities and related risks, see "Special Risk
Factors--High Yield (High Risk) Bonds" below.
 
The Fund does not make investments for short-term profits, but it is not
restricted in policy with regard to portfolio turnover and will make changes in
its investment portfolio from time to time as business and economic conditions
and market prices may dictate and as its investment policy may require.
 
VALUE+GROWTH FUND. The Value+Growth Fund seeks growth of capital through
professional management of a portfolio of growth and value stocks. These stocks
include stocks of large established companies, as well as stocks of small
companies. A secondary objective is the reduction of risk over a full market
cycle compared to a portfolio of only growth stocks or only value stocks.
 
Growth stocks are stocks of companies whose earnings per share are expected by
the investment manager to grow faster than the market average. Growth stocks
tend to trade at higher price to earnings (P/E) ratios than the general market,
but the investment manager believes that the potential of such stocks for above
average earnings more than justifies their price. Value stocks are considered
"bargain stocks" because they are perceived as undervalued, i.e.,
 
                                       13
<PAGE>   20
 
attractively priced in relation to their earnings potential (low P/E ratios).
Value stocks typically have dividend yields higher than the average of the
companies represented in the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index.
 
   
The allocation between growth and value stocks in the Fund's portfolio will be
made by the investment manager's Quantitative Research Department with the help
of a proprietary model that evaluates macro-economic factors such as the
strength of the economy, interest rates and special factors concerning growth
and value stocks. Historically, the performance of growth and value stocks has
tended to be counter-cyclical, i.e., when one was in favor, the other was out of
favor relative to the equity market in general. Through the allocation process,
the investment manager will seek to weight the portfolio more heavily in the
type of stocks that are believed to present greater return opportunities at the
time. The neutral allocation between growth and value stocks would be 50%/50%.
Although allocations in favor of growth or value normally would not be expected
to exceed 60%, the allocation to growth or value may be up to 75% at any time.
Allocation decisions are normally based upon long-term considerations and
changes would normally be expected to be gradual. There is no assurance that the
allocation process will improve investment results.
    
 
   
KFS manages the growth portion of the Fund. In managing the growth portion of
the portfolio, KFS emphasizes stock selection and fundamental research in
seeking to enhance long-term performance potential. KFS considers a number of
quantitative and qualitative factors in considering whether to invest in a stock
including high return on equity and earnings growth rate, low level of debt,
strong balance sheet, good management and industry leadership. DVA manages the
value portion of the Fund. DVA seeks stocks it believes to be undervalued. The
principal factor considered is P/E ratios. Typically stocks of both types will
have a market capitalization in excess of $1 billion. In selecting among stocks
with low P/E ratios, DVA considers other factors such as financial strength,
book to market value, earnings and dividend growth rates, return on equity and
earnings estimates.
    
 
Although it is anticipated that the Fund will invest primarily in common stocks
of domestic companies, the Fund may also purchase convertible securities, such
as bonds and preferred stocks (including warrants and rights). The Fund may also
purchase options, engage in financial futures transactions, purchase foreign
securities, engage in related foreign currency transactions and lend its
portfolio securities. See "Special Risk Factors--Foreign Securities" and
"Additional Investment Information" below. From time to time, a significant
portion of the Fund's assets may be held temporarily in cash or defensive type
securities, such as high-grade debt securities, securities of the U.S.
Government or its agencies and high quality money market instruments, including
repurchase agreements.
 
   
The Fund does not generally make investments for short-term profits, but it is
not restricted in policy with regard to portfolio turnover and will make changes
in its investment portfolio from time to time as business and economic
conditions and market prices may dictate and as its investment policy may
require.
    
 
   
SPECIAL RISK FACTORS--FOREIGN SECURITIES. The Funds invest primarily in
securities that are publicly traded in the United States; but, they have
discretion to invest a portion of their assets in foreign securities that are
traded principally in securities markets outside the United States. The Funds
currently limit investment in foreign securities not publicly traded in the
United States to 25% of their total assets. The Funds may also invest without
limit in U.S. Dollar denominated American Depository Receipts ("ADRs"), which
are bought and sold in the United States and are not subject to the preceding
limitation. In connection with their foreign securities investments, the Funds
may, to a limited extent, engage in foreign currency exchange, options and
futures transactions as a hedge and not for speculation. Additional information
concerning foreign securities and related techniques is contained under
"Additional Investment Information" below and "Investment Policies and
Techniques" in the Statement of Additional Information.
    
 
Foreign securities involve currency risks. The U.S. Dollar value of a foreign
security tends to decrease when the value of the U.S. Dollar rises against the
foreign currency in which the security is denominated and tends to increase when
the value of the U.S. Dollar falls against such currency. Fluctuations in
exchange rates may also affect the earning power and asset value of the foreign
entity issuing the security. Dividend and interest payments may be repatriated
based on the exchange rate at the time of disbursement or payment, and
restrictions on capital flows may be imposed. Losses and other expenses may be
incurred in converting between various currencies.
 
                                       14
<PAGE>   21
 
Foreign securities may be subject to foreign government taxes that reduce their
attractiveness. Other risks of investing in such securities include political or
economic instability in the country involved, the difficulty of predicting
international trade patterns and the possible imposition of exchange controls.
The prices of such securities may be more volatile than those of domestic
securities and the markets for such securities may be less liquid. In addition,
there may be less publicly available information about foreign issuers than
about domestic issuers. Many foreign issuers are not subject to uniform
accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards comparable to those
applicable to domestic issuers. There is generally less regulation of stock
exchanges, brokers, banks and listed companies abroad than in the United States.
With respect to certain foreign countries, there is a possibility of
expropriation or diplomatic developments that could affect investment in these
countries.
 
EMERGING MARKETS. While each Fund's investments in foreign securities will
principally be in developed countries, a Fund may make investments in developing
or "emerging" countries, which involve exposure to economic structures that are
generally less diverse and mature than in the United States, and to political
systems that may be less stable. A developing or emerging market country can be
considered to be a country that is in the initial stages of its
industrialization cycle. Currently, emerging markets generally include every
country in the world other than the United States, Canada, Japan, Australia, New
Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore and most Western European countries. Currently,
investing in many emerging markets may not be desirable or feasible because of
the lack of adequate custody arrangements for a Fund's assets, overly burdensome
repatriation and similar restrictions, the lack of organized and liquid
securities markets, unacceptable political risks or other reasons. As
opportunities to invest in securities in emerging markets develop, a Fund may
expand and further broaden the group of emerging markets in which it invests. In
the past, markets of developing or emerging market countries have been more
volatile than the markets of developed countries; however, such markets often
have provided higher rates of return to investors. The investment manager
believes that these characteristics can be expected to continue in the future.
 
Many of the risks described above relating to foreign securities generally will
be greater for emerging markets than for developed countries. For instance,
economies in individual developing markets may differ favorably or unfavorably
from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of domestic product, rates of
inflation, currency depreciation, capital reinvestment, resource
self-sufficiency and balance of payments positions. Many emerging markets have
experienced substantial rates of inflation for many years. Inflation and rapid
fluctuations in inflation rates have had and may continue to have very negative
effects on the economies and securities markets of certain developing markets.
Economies in emerging markets generally are dependent heavily upon international
trade and, accordingly, have been and may continue to be affected adversely by
trade barriers, exchange controls, managed adjustments in relative currency
values and other protectionist measures imposed or negotiated by the countries
with which they trade. These economies also have been and may continue to be
affected adversely by economic conditions in the countries with which they
trade.
 
Also, the securities markets of developing countries are substantially smaller,
less developed, less liquid and more volatile than the securities markets of the
United States and other more developed countries. Disclosure, regulatory and
accounting standards in many respects are less stringent than in the United
States and other developed markets. There also may be a lower level of
monitoring and regulation of developing markets and the activities of investors
in such markets, and enforcement of existing regulations has been extremely
limited.
 
In addition, brokerage commissions, custodial services and other costs relating
to investment in foreign markets generally are more expensive than in the United
States; this is particularly true with respect to emerging markets. Such markets
have different settlement and clearance procedures. In certain markets there
have been times when settlements have been unable to keep pace with the volume
of securities transactions, making it difficult to conduct such transactions.
Such settlement problems may cause emerging market securities to be illiquid.
The inability of a Fund to make intended securities purchases due to settlement
problems could cause the Fund to miss attractive investment opportunities.
Inability to dispose of a portfolio security caused by settlement problems could
result either in losses to a Fund due to subsequent declines in value of the
portfolio security or, if a Fund has entered into a contract to sell the
security, could result in possible liability to the purchaser. Certain emerging
markets may lack clearing facilities equivalent to those in developed countries.
Accordingly, settlements can pose additional risks in
 
                                       15
<PAGE>   22
 
such markets and ultimately can expose the Fund to the risk of losses resulting
from a Fund's inability to recover from a counterparty.
 
The risk also exists that an emergency situation may arise in one or more
emerging markets as a result of which trading securities may cease or may be
substantially curtailed and prices for a Fund's portfolio securities in such
markets may not be readily available. A Fund's portfolio securities in the
affected markets will be valued at fair value determined in good faith by or
under the direction of the Board of Trustees.
 
Investment in certain emerging market securities is restricted or controlled to
varying degrees. These restrictions or controls may at times limit or preclude
foreign investment in certain emerging market securities and increase the costs
and expenses of a Fund. Emerging markets may require governmental approval for
the repatriation of investment income, capital or the proceeds of sales of
securities by foreign investors. In addition, if a deterioration occurs in an
emerging market's balance of payments, the market could impose temporary
restrictions on foreign capital remittances.
 
FIXED INCOME. Since most foreign fixed income securities are not rated, a Fund
(principally the Total Return Fund) will invest in foreign fixed income
securities based on the investment manager's analysis without relying on
published ratings. Since such investments will be based upon the investment
manager's analysis rather than upon published ratings, achievement of a Fund's
goals may depend more upon the abilities of the investment manager than would
otherwise be the case.
 
The value of the foreign fixed income securities held by a Fund, and thus the
net asset value of the Fund's shares, generally will fluctuate with (a) changes
in the perceived creditworthiness of the issuers of those securities, (b)
movements in interest rates, and (c) changes in the relative values of the
currencies in which a Fund's investments in fixed income securities are
denominated with respect to the U.S. Dollar. The extent of the fluctuation will
depend on various factors, such as the average maturity of a Fund's investments
in foreign fixed income securities, and the extent to which a Fund hedges its
interest rate, credit and currency exchange rate risks. Many of the foreign
fixed income obligations in which a Fund will invest will have long maturities.
A longer average maturity generally is associated with a higher level of
volatility in the market value of such securities in response to changes in
market conditions.
 
Investments in sovereign debt, including Brady Bonds, involve special risks.
Brady Bonds are debt securities issued under a plan implemented to other debtor
nations to restructure their outstanding commercial bank indebtedness. Foreign
governmental issuers of debt or the governmental authorities that control the
repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to repay principal or pay
interest when due. In the event of default, there may be limited or no legal
recourse in that, generally, remedies for defaults must be pursued in the courts
of the defaulting party. Political conditions, especially a sovereign entity's
willingness to meet the terms of its fixed income securities, are of
considerable significance. Also, there can be no assurance that the holders of
commercial bank loans to the same sovereign entity may not contest payments to
the holders of sovereign debt in the event of default under commercial bank loan
agreements. In addition, there is no bankruptcy proceeding with respect to
sovereign debt on which a sovereign has defaulted, and a Fund may be unable to
collect all or any part of its investment in a particular issue.
 
Foreign investment in certain sovereign debt is restricted or controlled to
varying degrees, including requiring governmental approval for the repatriation
of income, capital or proceed of sales by foreign investors. These restrictions
or controls may at times limit or preclude foreign investment in certain
sovereign debt or increase the costs and expenses of a Fund. A significant
portion of the sovereign debt in which a Fund may invest is issued as part of
debt restructuring and such debt is to be considered speculative. There is a
history of defaults with respect to commercial bank loans by public and private
entities issuing Brady Bonds. All or a portion of the interest payments and/or
principal repayment with respect to Brady Bonds may be uncollateralized.
 
PRIVATIZED ENTERPRISES. Investments in foreign securities may include securities
issued by enterprises that have undergone or are currently undergoing
privatization. The governments of certain foreign countries have, to varying
degrees, embarked on privatization programs contemplating the sale of all or
part of their interests in state
 
                                       16
<PAGE>   23
 
enterprises. A Fund's investments in the securities of privatized enterprises
include privately negotiated investments in a government- or state-owned or
controlled company or enterprise that has not yet conducted an initial equity
offering, investments in the initial offering of equity securities of a state
enterprise or former state enterprise and investments in the securities of a
state enterprise following its initial equity offering.
 
In certain jurisdictions, the ability of foreign entities, such as a Fund, to
participate in privatizations may be limited by local law, or the price or terms
on which the Fund may be able to participate may be less advantageous than for
local investors. Moreover, there can be no assurance that governments that have
embarked on privatization programs will continue to divest their ownership of
state enterprises, that proposed privatization will be successful or that
governments will not re-nationalize enterprises that have been privatized.
 
In the case of the enterprises in which a Fund may invest, large blocks of the
stock of those enterprises may be held by a small group of stockholders, even
after the initial equity offerings by those enterprises. The sale of some
portion or all of those blocks could have an adverse effect on the price of the
stock of any such enterprise.
 
Prior to making an initial equity offering, most state enterprises or former
state enterprises go through an internal reorganization of management. Such
reorganizations are made in an attempt to better enable these enterprises to
compete in the private sector. However, certain reorganizations could result in
a management team that does not function as well as the enterprise's prior
management and may have a negative effect on such enterprise. In addition, the
privatization of an enterprise by its government may occur over a number of
years, with the government continuing to hold a controlling position in the
enterprise even after the initial equity offering for the enterprise.
 
Prior to privatization, most of the state enterprises in which a Fund may invest
enjoy the protection of and receive preferential treatment from the respective
sovereigns that own or control them. After making an initial equity offering
these enterprises may no longer have such protection or receive such
preferential treatment and may become subject to market competition from which
they were previously protected. Some of these enterprises may not be able to
effectively operate in a competitive market and may suffer losses or experience
bankruptcy due to such competition.
 
DEPOSITORY RECEIPTS. For many foreign securities, there are U.S. Dollar
denominated ADRs, which are bought and sold in the United States and are issued
by domestic banks. ADRs represent the right to receive securities of foreign
issuers deposited in the domestic bank or a correspondent bank. ADRs do not
eliminate all the risk inherent in investing in the securities of foreign
issuers, such as changes in foreign currency exchange rates. However, by
investing in ADRs rather than directly in foreign issuers' stock, the Fund
avoids currency risks during the settlement period. In general, there is a
large, liquid market in the United States for most ADRs. The Funds may also
invest in European Depository Receipts ("EDRs"), which are receipts evidencing
an arrangement with a European bank similar to that for ADRs and are designed
for use in the European securities markets. EDRs are not necessarily denominated
in the currency of the underlying security.
 
SPECIAL RISK FACTORS--HIGH YIELD (HIGH RISK) BONDS. As stated above, the Total
Return Fund may invest a portion of its assets in fixed income securities that
are in the lower rating categories (below the fourth category) of recognized
rating agencies or are non-rated. These lower rated and non-rated fixed income
securities are considered, on balance, as predominantly speculative with respect
to capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of
the obligation and generally will involve more credit risk than securities in
the higher rating categories. Lower rated and non-rated securities, which are
commonly referred to as "junk bonds," have widely varying characteristics and
quality. The market values of such securities tend to reflect individual
corporate developments to a greater extent than do those of higher rated
securities, which react primarily to fluctuations in the general level of
interest rates. Such lower rated securities also are more sensitive to economic
conditions than are higher rated securities. Adverse publicity and investor
perceptions regarding lower rated bonds, whether or not based upon fundamental
analysis, may depress the prices for such securities. These and other factors
adversely affecting the market value of high yield securities will adversely
affect the Fund's net asset value. Although some risk is inherent in all
securities ownership, holders of fixed income securities have a claim on the
assets of the issuer
 
                                       17
<PAGE>   24
 
prior to the holders of common stock. Therefore, an investment in fixed income
securities generally entails less risk than an investment in common stock of the
same issuer. The Fund may have difficulty disposing of certain high yield
securities because they may have a thin trading market. The lack of a liquid
secondary market may have an adverse effect on market price and the Fund's
ability to dispose of particular issues and may also make it more difficult for
the Fund to obtain accurate market quotations for purposes of valuing these
assets. Additional information concerning high yield securities appears under
"Investment Policies and Techniques--Other Considerations--High Yield (High
Risk) Bonds" and "Appendix--Ratings of Fixed Income Investments" in the
Statement of Additional Information.
 
ADDITIONAL INVESTMENT INFORMATION. The portfolio turnover rates for the Funds
(other than the Value+Growth Fund) are listed under "Financial Highlights." It
is anticipated that, under normal circumstances, the portfolio turnover rate for
the Value+Growth Fund will not exceed 100%. Certain Funds may experience high
turnover rates (over 100%). Higher portfolio turnover involves correspondingly
greater brokerage commissions or other transaction costs. Higher portfolio
turnover may result in the realization of greater net short-term capital gains.
In order to continue to qualify as a regulated investment company for federal
income tax purposes, less than 30% of the annual gross income of a Fund must be
derived from the sale or other disposition of securities and certain other
investments held by a Fund for less than three months. See "Dividends and Taxes"
in the Statement of Additional Information.
 
The Blue Chip Fund may not borrow money except as a temporary measure for
extraordinary or emergency purposes and not for leverage purposes, and then only
in an amount up to one-third of the value of its total assets in order to meet
redemption requests without immediately selling any portfolio securities or
other assets. If, for any reason, the current value of the Fund's total assets
falls below an amount equal to three times the amount of its indebtedness from
money borrowed, the Fund will, within three days (not including Sundays and
holidays), reduce its indebtedness to the extent necessary. The Fund will not
borrow for leverage purposes. The Fund may pledge up to 15% of its total assets
to secure any such borrowings. The Growth, Small Cap, Technology, Total Return
and Value+Growth Funds each may not borrow money except for temporary or
emergency purposes (but not for the purchase of investments) and then only in an
amount not to exceed 5% of its net assets. These Funds may not pledge their
assets in an amount exceeding the amount of the borrowings secured by such
pledge.
 
A Fund will not purchase illiquid securities, including repurchase agreements
maturing in more than seven days, if, as a result thereof, more than 15% of the
Fund's net assets, valued at the time of the transaction, would be invested in
such securities. See "Investment Policies and Techniques--Over-the-Counter
Options" in the Statement of Additional Information for a description of the
extent to which over-the-counter traded options are in effect considered as
illiquid for purposes of the limit on illiquid securities for the Funds.
 
Each Fund has adopted certain fundamental investment restrictions which are
presented in the Statement of Additional Information and which, together with
the investment objective and policies of a Fund (other than policies that are
not fundamental), cannot be changed without approval by holders of a majority of
its outstanding voting shares. As defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940,
this means the lesser of the vote of (a) 67% of the shares of a Fund present at
a meeting where more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present in person or
by proxy; or (b) more than 50% of the outstanding shares of a Fund. Policies of
the Blue Chip and Value+Growth Funds that are neither designated as fundamental
nor incorporated into any of the fundamental investment restrictions referred to
above are not fundamental and may be changed by the Board of Trustees of the
Fund without shareholder approval.
 
OPTIONS AND FINANCIAL FUTURES TRANSACTIONS. The Funds may each deal in options
on securities, securities indexes and foreign currencies, which options may be
listed for trading on a national securities exchange or traded over-the-counter.
The Technology Fund may write (sell) covered call and secured put options on up
to 25% of net assets and may purchase put and call options provided that no more
than 5% of its net assets may be invested in premiums on such options. The Blue
Chip, Growth, Small Cap, Total Return and Value+Growth Funds may each invest up
to 5% of net assets in put and call options on securities, securities indices
and foreign currencies. A Fund will not enter
 
                                       18
<PAGE>   25
 
into any futures contracts or options on futures contracts if the aggregate of
the contract value of the outstanding futures contracts of the Fund and futures
contracts subject to outstanding options written by the Fund would exceed 50% of
the total assets of the Fund.
 
A call option gives the purchaser the right to buy, and the writer the
obligation to sell, the underlying security or other asset at the exercise price
during the option period. A put option gives the purchaser the right to sell,
and the writer the obligation to buy, the underlying security or other asset at
the exercise price during the option period. The writer of a covered call owns
securities or other assets that are acceptable for escrow and the writer of a
secured put invests an amount not less than the exercise price in eligible
securities or other assets to the extent that it is obligated as a writer. If a
call written by a Fund is exercised, the Fund foregoes any possible profit from
an increase in the market price of the underlying security or other asset over
the exercise price plus the premium received. In writing puts, there is a risk
that a Fund may be required to take delivery of the underlying security or other
asset at a disadvantageous price.
 
Over-the-counter traded options ("OTC options") differ from exchange traded
options in several respects. They are transacted directly with dealers and not
with a clearing corporation, and there is a risk of non-performance by the
dealer as a result of the insolvency of such dealer or otherwise, in which event
a Fund may experience material losses. However, in writing options (for the
Technology Fund) the premium is paid in advance by the dealer. OTC options are
available for a greater variety of securities or other assets, and a wider range
of expiration dates and exercise prices, than for exchange traded options.
 
Each Fund may engage in financial futures transactions. Financial futures
contracts are commodity contracts that obligate the long or short holder to take
or make delivery of a specified quantity of a financial instrument, such as a
security, or the cash value of a securities index during a specified future
period at a specified price. A Fund will "cover" futures contracts sold by the
Fund and maintain in a segregated account certain liquid assets in connection
with futures contracts purchased by the Fund as described under "Investment
Policies and Techniques" in the Statement of Additional Information. In
connection with their foreign securities investments, the Funds may also engage
in foreign currency financial futures transactions.
 
The Funds may engage in financial futures transactions and may use index options
as an attempt to hedge against market risks. For example, when the near-term
market view is bearish but the portfolio composition is judged satisfactory for
the longer term, exposure to temporary declines in the market may be reduced by
entering into futures contracts to sell securities or the cash value of a
securities index. Conversely, where the near-term view is bullish, but the Fund
is believed to be well positioned for the longer term with a high cash position,
the Fund can hedge against market increases by entering into futures contracts
to buy securities or the cash value of a securities index. In either case, the
use of futures contracts would tend to reduce portfolio turnover and facilitate
the Fund's pursuit of its investment objective.
 
Futures contracts entail risks. If the investment manager's judgment about the
general direction of interest rates, markets or exchange rates is wrong, the
overall performance may be poorer than if no such contracts had been entered
into. There may be an imperfect correlation between movements in prices of
futures contracts and portfolio assets being hedged. In addition, the market
prices of futures contracts may be affected by certain factors. If participants
in the futures market elect to close out their contracts through offsetting
transactions rather than meet margin requirements, distortions in the normal
relationship between the assets and futures market could result. Price
distortions also could result if investors in futures contracts decide to make
or take delivery of underlying securities or other assets rather than engage in
closing transactions because of the resultant reduction in the liquidity of the
futures market. In addition, because, from the point of view of speculators,
margin requirements in the futures market are less onerous than margin
requirements in the cash market, increased participation by speculators in the
futures market could cause temporary price distortions. Due to the possibility
of price distortions in the futures market and because of the imperfect
correlation between movements in the prices of securities or other assets and
movements in the prices of futures contracts, a correct forecast of market
trends by the investment manager still may not result in a successful hedging
transaction. If any of these events should occur, a Fund could lose money on
 
                                       19
<PAGE>   26
 
the financial futures contracts and also on the value of its portfolio assets.
The costs incurred in connection with futures transactions could reduce a Fund's
return.
 
Index options involve risks similar to those risks relating to transactions in
financial futures contracts described above. Also, an option purchased by a Fund
may expire worthless, in which case a Fund would lose the premium paid therefor.
 
A Fund may engage in futures transactions only on commodities exchanges or
boards of trade. A Fund will not engage in transactions in index options,
financial futures contracts or related options for speculation, but only as an
attempt to hedge against changes in interest rates or market conditions
affecting the values of securities which the Fund owns or intends to purchase.
 
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSACTIONS. The Funds may invest a portion of their assets in
securities denominated in foreign currencies. The Funds may engage in foreign
currency transactions in connection with their investments in foreign securities
but will not speculate in foreign currency exchange.
 
The value of the foreign securities investments of a Fund measured in U.S.
Dollars (including ADRs) may be affected favorably or unfavorably by changes in
foreign currency exchange rates and exchange control regulations, and the Fund
may incur costs in connection with conversions between various currencies. A
Fund will conduct its foreign currency exchange transactions either on a spot
(i.e., cash) basis at the spot rate prevailing in the foreign currency exchange
market, or through forward contracts to purchase or sell foreign currencies. A
forward foreign currency exchange contract involves an obligation to purchase or
sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days
from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the
time of the contract. These contracts are traded directly between currency
traders (usually large commercial banks) and their customers.
 
When a Fund enters into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security
denominated in a foreign currency, it may want to establish the U.S. Dollar cost
or proceeds, as the case may be. By entering into a forward contract in U.S.
Dollars for the purchase or sale of the amount of foreign currency involved in
an underlying security transaction, the Fund is able to protect itself against a
possible loss between trade and settlement dates resulting from an adverse
change in the relationship between the U.S. Dollar and such foreign currency.
However, this tends to limit potential gains that might result from a positive
change in such currency relationships. A Fund may also hedge its foreign
currency exchange rate risk by engaging in currency financial futures and
options transactions.
 
When the investment manager believes that the currency of a particular foreign
country may suffer a substantial decline against the U.S. Dollar, it may enter
into a forward contract to sell an amount of foreign currency approximating the
value of some or all of the Fund's securities denominated in such foreign
currency. The forecasting of short-term currency market movement is extremely
difficult and whether such a short-term hedging strategy will be successful is
highly uncertain.
 
It is impossible to forecast with absolute precision the market value of
portfolio securities at the expiration of a contract. Accordingly, it may be
necessary for a Fund to purchase additional currency on the spot market (and
bear the expense of such purchase) if the market value of the security is less
than the amount of foreign currency the Fund is obligated to deliver when a
decision is made to sell the security and make delivery of the foreign currency
in settlement of a forward contract. Conversely, it may be necessary to sell on
the spot market some of the foreign currency received upon the sale of the
portfolio security if its market value exceeds the amount of foreign currency
the Fund is obligated to deliver.
 
A Fund will not speculate in foreign currency exchange. A Fund will not enter
into such forward contracts or maintain a net exposure in such contracts where
the Fund would be obligated to deliver an amount of foreign currency in excess
of the value of the Fund's securities or other assets denominated in that
currency. The Funds do not intend to enter into such forward contracts if they
would have more than 15% of the value of their total assets committed to forward
contracts for the purchase of a foreign currency. A Fund segregates cash or
liquid high-grade securities in an amount not less than the value of the Fund's
total assets committed to forward foreign currency exchange contracts entered
into for
 
                                       20
<PAGE>   27
 
the purchase of a foreign currency. If the value of the securities segregated
declines, additional cash or securities are added so that the segregated amount
is not less than the amount of the Fund's commitments with respect to such
contracts. A Fund generally does not enter into a forward contract with a term
longer than one year.
 
   
DERIVATIVES. In addition to options, financial futures and foreign currency
transactions, consistent with its objective, each Fund may invest in a broad
array of financial instruments and securities in which the value of the
instrument or security is "derived" from the performance of an underlying asset
or a "benchmark" such as a security index, an interest rate or a currency
("derivatives"). Derivatives are most often used to manage investment risk, to
increase or decrease exposure to an asset class or benchmark (as a hedge or to
enhance return), or to create an investment position indirectly (often because
it is more efficient or less costly than direct investment). The types of
derivatives used by each Fund and the techniques employed by the investment
manager may change over time as new derivatives and strategies are developed or
regulatory changes occur.
    
 
   
RISK CONSIDERATIONS. The Statement of Additional Information contains further
information about the characteristics, risks and possible benefits of options,
futures, foreign currency and other derivative transactions. See "Investment
Policies and Techniques" in the Statement of Additional Information. The
principal risks are: (a) possible imperfect correlation between movements in the
prices of options, currencies, futures contracts or other derivatives and
movements in the prices of the securities or currencies hedged, used for cover
or that the derivative intended to replicate; (b) lack of assurance that a
liquid secondary market will exist for any particular option, futures, foreign
currency or other derivatives contract at any particular time; (c) the need for
additional skills and techniques beyond those required for normal portfolio
management; (d) losses on futures contracts resulting from market movements not
anticipated by the investment manager; (e) the possible need to defer closing
out certain options, futures contracts or other derivatives in order to continue
to qualify for beneficial tax treatment afforded "regulated investment
companies" under the Internal Revenue Code; and (f) the possible non-performance
of the counter-party to the derivative contract.
    
 
LENDING OF PORTFOLIO SECURITIES. Consistent with applicable regulatory
requirements, the Funds may lend securities (principally to broker-dealers)
without limit where such loans are callable at any time and are continuously
secured by segregated collateral (cash or U.S. Government securities) equal to
no less than the market value, determined daily, of the securities loaned. The
Funds will receive amounts equal to dividends or interest on the securities
loaned. The Funds will also earn income for having made the loan. Any cash
collateral pursuant to these loans will be invested in short-term money market
instruments. As with other extensions of credit, there are risks of delay in
recovery or even loss of rights in the collateral should the borrower of the
securities fail financially. However, the loans would be made only to firms
deemed by the investment manager to be of good standing, and when the investment
manager believes the potential earnings justify the attendant risk. Management
will limit such lending to not more than one-third of the value of a Fund's
total assets.
 
INVESTMENT MANAGER AND UNDERWRITER
 
   
INVESTMENT MANAGER. Kemper Financial Services, Inc. ("KFS"), 120 South LaSalle
Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603, is the investment manager of each Fund and
provides each Fund with continuous professional investment supervision. Dreman
Value Advisors, Inc. ("DVA") is the sub-adviser for the Value+Growth Fund. See
"Value+Growth Fund" below for information about DVA. KFS is one of the largest
investment managers in the country and has been engaged in the management of
investment funds for more than forty-five years. KFS and its affiliates provide
investment advice and manage investment portfolios for the Kemper Funds, the
Kemper insurance companies, Kemper Corporation and other corporate, pension,
profit-sharing and individual accounts representing approximately $60 billion

Kemper Corporation has entered into a definitive agreement with an investor
group led by Zurich Insurance Company ("Zurich") pursuant to which Kemper
Corporation would be acquired by the investor group in a merger transaction. As
part of the transaction, Zurich or an affiliate would purchase KFS. The Kemper
Corporation and Zurich boards have approved the transaction. In addition,
because the transaction would constitute an assignment of the Funds' investment
management agreements with KFS and, potentially, Rule 12b-1 agreements under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, and therefore a termination of such agreements,
KFS has received approval of new agreements from the Funds' boards and
shareholders. Consummation of the transaction is subject to remaining
contingencies, including approval by the stockholders of Kemper Corporation and
state insurance department regulatory approvals. The investor group has informed
Kemper that it expects the transaction to close early in 1996.
    
 
Responsibility for overall management of each Fund rests with its Board of
Trustees and officers. Professional investment supervision is provided by KFS.
The investment management agreements provide that KFS shall act as each Fund's
investment adviser, manage its investments and provide it with various services
and facilities. KFS will from time to time use the services of Kemper Investment
Management Company Limited, 1 Fleet Place, London EC4M 7RQ, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of KFS, with respect to foreign securities investments of the Funds
including analysis, research, execution and trading services.

management fee under different schedules that are described in the Statement of
Additional Information. The Small Cap Fund pays a base annual management fee,
payable monthly, at the rate of .65 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the
Fund. This base fee is subject to upward or downward adjustment between .35 and
 .95 of 1% on the basis of the investment performance of the Class A shares of
the Fund compared with the performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index
as described in the Statement of Additional Information.

former adviser for KDF. DVA is a wholly-owned subsidiary of KFS and is located
at 10 Exchange Place, Suite 2050, Jersey City, New Jersey 07302. KFS pays DVA
for its services a sub-advisory fee, payable monthly at the annual rate of .25%
of average daily net assets of the Fund. David N. Dreman has been a portfolio
co-manager of the Fund and primarily responsible for management of the value
portion of the Value+Growth Fund since its inception in 1995. Mr. Dreman is the
Chairman and a Director of DVA and a vice president of the Fund. Mr. Dreman is a
pioneer of the philosophy of contrarian investing (buying what is out of favor)
and a leading proponent of the low P/E investment style. He is a columnist for
Forbes and the author of several books on the value style of investing. Mr.
Dreman received a Bachelor of Finance in Commerce from the University of
Manitoba, Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
    
 
PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER. Pursuant to an underwriting and distribution services
agreement ("distribution agreement") with each Fund, Kemper Distributors, Inc.
("KDI"), an affiliate of KFS, is the principal underwriter and distributor of
each Fund's shares and acts as agent of each Fund in the sale of its shares. KDI
bears all its expenses of providing services pursuant to the distribution
agreement, including the payment of any commissions. KDI provides for the
preparation of advertising or sales literature and bears the cost of printing
and mailing prospectuses to persons other than shareholders. KDI bears the cost
of qualifying and maintaining the qualification of Fund shares for sale under
the securities laws of the various states and each Fund bears the expense of
registering its shares with the Securities and Exchange Commission. KDI may
enter into related selling group agreements with various broker-dealers,
including affiliates of KDI, that provide distribution services to investors.
KDI also may provide some of the distribution services. Before February 1, 1995,
KFS was the principal underwriter and distributor.
 
Class A Shares.  KDI receives no compensation from the Funds as principal
underwriter for Class A shares and pays all expenses of distribution of each
Fund's Class A shares under the distribution agreements not otherwise paid by
dealers or other financial services firms. As indicated under "Purchase of
Shares," KDI retains the sales charge upon the purchase of shares and pays or
allows concessions or discounts to firms for the sale of each Fund's shares.
 
Class B Shares.  For its services under the distribution agreement, KDI receives
a fee from each Fund, payable monthly, at the annual rate of .75 of 1% of
average daily net assets of each Fund attributable to Class B shares. This fee
is accrued daily as an expense of Class B shares. KDI also receives any
contingent deferred sales charges. See "Redemption or Repurchase of
Shares--Contingent Deferred Sales Charge--Class B Shares." KDI currently
compensates firms for sales of Class B shares at a commission rate of 3.75%.
 
Class C Shares.  For its services under the distribution agreement, KDI receives
a fee from each Fund, payable monthly, at the annual rate of .75 of 1% of
average daily net assets of each Fund attributable to Class C shares. This fee
is accrued daily as an expense of Class C shares. KDI currently pays firms for
sales of Class C shares a distribution fee, payable quarterly, at an annual rate
of .75 of 1% of net assets attributable to Class C shares maintained and
serviced by the firm. A firm becomes eligible for the distribution fee based
upon assets in accounts in the month of purchase and the fee continues until
terminated by KDI or a Fund.
 
Rule 12b-1 Plan.  Since each distribution agreement provides for fees payable as
an expense of the Class B shares and the Class C shares that are used by KDI to
pay for distribution services for those classes, that agreement is approved and
reviewed separately for the Class B shares and the Class C shares in accordance
with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, which regulates the
manner in which an investment company may, directly or indirectly, bear the
expenses of distributing its shares. The table below shows amounts paid in
 
                                       24

connection with each Fund's Rule 12b-1 Plan during its 1994 fiscal year (except
the Value+Growth Fund which commenced operations             , 1995).

If a Rule 12b-1 Plan is terminated in accordance with its terms, the obligation
of a Fund to make payments to KDI pursuant to the Plan will cease and the Fund
will not be required to make any payments past the termination date. Thus, there
is no legal obligation for the Fund to pay any expenses incurred by KDI in
excess of its fees under a Plan, if for any reason the Plan is terminated in
accordance with its terms. Future fees under a Plan may or may not be sufficient
to reimburse KDI (or KFS as predecessor to KDI) for its expenses incurred.
 
ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES. KDI also provides information and administrative
services for shareholders of each Fund pursuant to administrative services
agreements ("administrative agreements"). KDI may enter into related
arrangements with various financial services firms, such as broker-dealer firms
or banks ("firms"), that provide services and facilities for their customers or
clients who are shareholders of the Funds. Such administrative services and
assistance may include, but are not limited to, establishing and maintaining
shareholder accounts and records, processing purchase and redemption
transactions, answering routine inquiries regarding each Fund and its special
features, and such other services as may be agreed upon from time to time and
permitted by applicable statute, rule or regulation. KDI bears all its expenses
of providing services pursuant to the administrative agreement, including the
payment of any service fees. For services under the administrative agreements,
each Fund pays KDI a fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of up to .25 of 1%
of average daily net assets of each class of such Fund. KDI then pays each firm
a service fee at an annual rate of up to .25 of 1% of net assets of each class
of those accounts that it maintains and services for each Fund. Firms to which
service fees may be paid include broker-dealers affiliated with KDI. A firm
becomes eligible for the service fee based on assets in the accounts in the
month following the month of purchase (in the month of purchase for Class C
Shares) and the fee continues until terminated by KDI or a Fund. The fees are
calculated monthly and paid quarterly. KDI may advance to financial services
firms the first year service fee related to Class B shares sold by such firms at
a rate of up to .25 of 1% of the purchase price of such shares. As compensation
therefor, KDI may retain the administrative services fee paid by a Fund with
respect to such shares for the first year after purchase. Financial services
firms will become eligible for future service fees with respect to such shares
commencing in the thirteenth month following the month of purchase.
 
KDI also may provide some of the above services and may retain any portion of
the fee under the administrative agreements not paid to firms to compensate
itself for administrative functions performed for each Fund. Currently, the
administrative services fee payable to KDI is based only upon Fund assets in
accounts for which there is a firm listed on a Fund's records and it is intended
that KDI will pay all the administrative services fee that it receives from each
Fund to firms in the form of service fees. The effective administrative services
fee rate to be charged against all assets of each Fund while this procedure is
in effect will depend upon the proportion of Fund assets that is in accounts for
which there is a firm of record.
 
CUSTODIAN AND SHAREHOLDER SERVICE AGENT. Investors Fiduciary Trust Company
("IFTC"), 127 West 10th Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64105, as custodian, and
State Street Bank and Trust Company, 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts
02110, as sub-custodian, have custody of all securities and cash of each Fund
maintained in the United States. The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., Chase MetroTech
Center, Brooklyn, New York 11245, as
 
                                       25
<PAGE>   32
 
custodian, has custody of all securities and cash of each Fund held outside the
United States. IFTC also is the Funds' transfer agent and dividend-paying agent.
Pursuant to a services agreement with IFTC, Kemper Service Company, an affiliate
of KFS, serves as "Shareholder Service Agent" of the Funds and, as such,
performs all of IFTC's duties as transfer agent and dividend-paying agent. For a
description of custodian, transfer agent and shareholder service agent fees, see
"Investment Manager and Underwriter" in the Statement of Additional Information.
 
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS. KFS places all orders for purchases and sales of a
Fund's securities (except that DVA places all orders for the value portion of
the Value+Growth Fund). Subject to seeking best execution of orders, KFS or DVA
may consider sales of shares of a Fund and other funds managed by KFS and DVA as
a factor in selecting broker-dealers. See "Portfolio Transactions" in the
Statement of Additional Information.
 
DIVIDENDS AND TAXES
 
DIVIDENDS. Each Fund normally distributes dividends of net investment income as
follows: annually for the Growth, Small Cap, Technology and Value+Growth Funds;
semi-annually for the Blue Chip Fund; and quarterly for the Total Return Fund.
Each Fund distributes any net realized short-term and long-term capital gains at
least annually. The quarterly distribution to shareholders of the Total Return
Fund may include short-term capital gains.
 
Dividends paid by a Fund as to each class of its shares will be calculated in
the same manner, at the same time and on the same day. The level of income
dividends per share (as a percentage of net asset value) will be lower for Class
B and Class C shares than for Class A shares primarily as a result of the
distribution services fee applicable to Class B and Class C shares.
Distributions of capital gains, if any, will be paid in the same amount for each
class.
 
Income and capital gain dividends, if any, of a Fund will be credited to
shareholder accounts in full and fractional shares of the same class of that
Fund at net asset value on the reinvestment date, except that, upon written
request to the Shareholder Service Agent, a shareholder may select one of the
following options:
 
(1) To receive income and short-term capital gain dividends in cash and
    long-term capital gain dividends in shares of the same class at net asset
    value; or
 
(2) To receive income and capital gain dividends in cash.
 
Any dividends of a Fund that are reinvested normally will be reinvested in
shares of the same class of that same Fund. However, upon written request to the
Shareholder Service Agent, a shareholder may elect to have dividends of a Fund
invested in shares of the same class of another Kemper Fund at the net asset
value of such class of such other fund. See "Special Features--Class A
Shares--Combined Purchases" for a list of such other Kemper Funds. To use this
privilege of investing dividends of a Fund in shares of another Kemper Fund,
shareholders must maintain a minimum account value of $1,000 in the Fund
distributing the dividends and a minimum account value of $1,000 in the Kemper
Fund in which dividends are reinvested. The Funds will reinvest dividend checks
(and future dividends) in shares of that same Fund and class if checks are
returned as undeliverable.
 
TAXES.  Each Fund intends to continue to qualify (or for the Value+Growth Fund,
intends to qualify) as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") and, if so qualified, will not be liable for
federal income taxes to the extent its earnings are distributed. Dividends
derived from net investment income and net short-term capital gains are taxable
to shareholders as ordinary income and long-term capital gain dividends are
taxable to shareholders as long-term capital gain regardless of how long the
shares have been held and whether received in cash or shares. Long-term capital
gain dividends received by individual shareholders are taxed at a maximum rate
of 28%. Dividends declared in October, November or December to shareholders of
record as of a date in one of those months and paid during the following January
are treated as paid on December 31 of the calendar year declared. A portion of
the dividends paid by the Funds may qualify for the dividends received deduction
available to corporate shareholders.
 
A dividend received shortly after the purchase of shares reduces the net asset
value of the shares by the amount of the dividend and, although in effect a
return of capital, will be taxable to the shareholder. If the net asset value of
shares were reduced below the shareholder's cost by dividends representing gains
realized on sales of securities, such dividends would be a return of investment
though taxable as stated above.
 
                                       26
<PAGE>   33
 
Each Fund is required by law to withhold 31% of taxable dividends and redemption
proceeds paid to certain shareholders who do not furnish a correct taxpayer
identification number (in the case of individuals, a social security number) and
in certain other circumstances. Trustees of qualified retirement plans and
403(b)(7) accounts are required by law to withhold 20% of the taxable portion of
any distribution that is eligible to be "rolled over". The 20% withholding
requirement does not apply to distributions from Individual Retirement Accounts
(IRAs) or any part of a distribution that is transferred directly to another
qualified retirement plan, 403(b)(7) account, or IRA. Shareholders should
consult with their tax advisers regarding the 20% withholding requirement.
 
   
After each transaction, shareholders will receive a confirmation statement
giving complete details of the transaction except that statements will be sent
quarterly for transactions involving reinvestment of dividends, periodic
investment and redemption programs and reinvestment programs for unit investment
trusts sponsored by Everen Securities, Inc. Information for income tax purposes,
including information regarding any foreign taxes and credits, will be provided
after the end of the calendar year. Shareholders are encouraged to retain copies
of their account confirmation statements or year-end statements for tax
reporting purposes. However, those who have incomplete records may obtain
historical account transaction information at a reasonable fee.
    
 
NET ASSET VALUE
 
The net asset value per share of a Fund is determined separately for each class
by dividing the value of the Fund's net assets attributable to that class by the
number of shares of that class outstanding. The per share net asset value of the
Class B and Class C shares of a Fund will generally be lower than that of the
Class A shares of the Fund because of the higher expenses borne by Class B and
Class C shares. Portfolio securities that are primarily traded on a domestic
securities exchange or securities listed on the NASDAQ National Market are
valued at the last sale price on the exchange or market where primarily traded
or listed or, if there is no recent sale price available, at the last current
bid quotation. Portfolio securities that are primarily traded on foreign
securities exchanges are generally valued at the preceding closing values of
such securities on their respective exchanges where primarily traded. A security
that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on
the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security by the Board
of Trustees or its delegates. Securities not so traded or listed are valued at
the last current bid quotation if market quotations are available. Fixed income
securities are valued by using market quotations, or independent pricing
services that use prices provided by market makers or estimates of market values
obtained from yield data relating to instruments or securities with similar
characteristics. Equity options are valued at the last sale price unless the bid
price is higher or the asked price is lower, in which event such bid or asked
priced is used. Exchange traded fixed income options are valued at the last sale
price unless there is no sale price, in which event current prices provided by
market makers are used. Over-the-counter traded options are valued based upon
current prices provided by market makers. Financial futures and options thereon
are valued at the settlement price established each day by the board of trade or
exchange on which they are traded. Other securities and assets are valued at
fair value as determined in good faith by the Board of Trustees. Because of the
need to obtain prices as of the close of trading on various exchanges throughout
the world, the calculation of net asset value of a Fund investing in foreign
securities does not necessarily take place contemporaneously with the
determination of the prices of a Fund's foreign securities, which may be made
prior to the determination of net asset value. For purposes of determining the
Fund's net asset value of a Fund investing in foreign securities, all assets and
liabilities initially expressed in foreign currency values will be converted
into U.S. Dollar values at the mean between the bid and offered quotations of
such currencies against U.S. Dollars as last quoted by a recognized dealer. If
an event were to occur, after the value of a security was so established but
before the net asset value per share was determined, which was likely to
materially change the net asset value, then that security would be valued using
fair value considerations by the Board of Trustees or its delegates. On each day
the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is open for trading, the net asset
value is determined as of the earlier of 3:00 p.m. Chicago time or the close of
the Exchange.

PURCHASE OF SHARES
 
ALTERNATIVE PURCHASE ARRANGEMENTS. Class A shares of each Fund are sold to
investors subject to an initial sales charge. Class B shares are sold without an
initial sales charge but are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Class A
shares and a contingent deferred sales charge payable upon certain redemptions.
Class B shares automatically convert to Class A shares six years after issuance.
Class C shares are sold without an initial or a contingent deferred sales charge
but are subject to higher ongoing expenses than Class A shares and do not
convert into another class. When placing purchase orders, investors must specify
whether the order is for Class A, Class B or Class C shares.
 
The primary distinctions among the classes of each Fund's shares lie in their
initial and contingent deferred sales charge structures and in their ongoing
expenses, including asset-based sales charges in the form of Rule 12b-1
distribution fees. These differences are summarized in the table below. See,
also, "Summary of Expenses." Each class has distinct advantages and
disadvantages for different investors, and investors may choose the class that
best suits their circumstances and objectives.

The minimum initial investment for each Fund is $1,000 and the minimum
subsequent investment is $100. The minimum initial investment for an Individual
Retirement Account is $250 and the minimum subsequent investment is $50. Under
an automatic investment plan, such as Bank Direct Deposit, Payroll Direct
Deposit or Government Direct Deposit, the minimum initial and subsequent
investment is $50. These minimum amounts may be changed at any time in
management's discretion.
 
Share certificates will not be issued unless requested in writing. It is
recommended that investors not request share certificates unless needed for a
specific purpose. You cannot redeem shares by telephone or wire transfer or use
the telephone exchange privilege if share certificates have been issued. A lost
or destroyed certificate is difficult to replace and can be expensive to the
shareholder (a bond worth 2% or more of the certificate value is normally
required).

Each Fund receives the entire net asset value of all its Class A shares sold.
KDI, the Funds' principal underwriter, retains the sales charge on sales of
Class A shares from which it allows discounts from the applicable public
offering price to investment dealers, which discounts are uniform for all
dealers in the United States and its territories. The normal discount allowed to
dealers is set forth in the above table. Upon notice to all dealers with whom it
has sales agreements, KDI may reallow up to the full applicable sales charge, as
shown in the above table, during periods and for transactions specified in such
notice and such reallowances may be based upon attainment of minimum sales
levels. During periods when 90% or more of the sales charge is reallowed, such
dealers may be deemed to be underwriters as that term is defined in the
Securities Act of 1933.
 
   
Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased at net asset value to the extent that
the amount invested represents the net proceeds from a redemption of shares of a
mutual fund for which KFS or DVA does not serve as investment manager
("non-Kemper fund") provided that: (a) the investor has previously paid either
an initial sales charge in connection with the purchase of the non-Kemper fund
shares redeemed or a contingent deferred sales charge in connection with the
redemption of the non-Kemper fund shares, and (b) the purchase of Fund shares is
made within 90 days after the date of such redemption. To make such a purchase
at net asset value, the investor or the investor's dealer must, at the time of
purchase, submit a request that the purchase be processed at net asset value
pursuant to this privilege. During the Special Offering Period, dealers will be
paid a commission of .50% of the amount of shares of the Value+Growth purchased
pursuant to this net asset value purchase privilege. The redemption of the
shares of the non-Kemper fund is, for federal income tax purposes, a sale upon
which a gain or loss may be realized.
    
 
Class A shares of a Fund may be purchased at net asset value by: (a) any
purchaser provided that the amount invested in such Fund or other Kemper Mutual
Funds listed under "Special Features--Class A Shares--Combined Purchases" totals
at least $1,000,000 including purchases of Class A shares pursuant to the
"Combined Purchases," "Letter of Intent" and "Cumulative Discount" features
described under "Special Features"; or (b) a participant-directed qualified
retirement plan described in Code Section 401(a) or a participant-directed
non-qualified deferred compensation plan described in Code Section 457 provided
in either case that such plan has not less than 200 eligible employees (the
"Large Order NAV Purchase Privilege"). Redemption within one year of shares
purchased

under the Large Order NAV Purchase Privilege may be subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge. See "Redemption or Repurchase of Shares--Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge--Large Order NAV Purchase Privilege."
 
   
KDI may in its discretion compensate investment dealers or other financial
services firms in connection with the sale of Class A shares of a Fund to
employer sponsored employee benefit plans using the subaccount recordkeeping
system made available through the Shareholder Service Agent at net asset value
in accordance with the Large Order NAV Purchase Privilege up to the following
amounts: 1.00% of the net asset value of shares sold on amounts up to $5 million
in any calendar year, .50% on the next $5 million and .25% on amounts over $10
million in such calendar year. KDI may in its discretion compensate investment
dealers or other financial services firms in connection with the sale of Class A
shares of each Fund to other purchasers at net asset value in accordance with
the Large Order NAV Purchase Privilege up to the following amounts: 1.00% of the
net asset value of shares sold on amounts up to $3 million, .50% on the next $2
million and .25% on amounts over $5 million. For purposes of determining the
appropriate commission percentage to be applied to a particular sale under the
foregoing schedules, KDI will consider the cumulative amount invested by the
purchaser in a Fund and other Kemper Mutual Funds listed under "Special
Features--Class A Shares--Combined Purchases," including purchases pursuant to
the "Combined Purchases," "Letter of Intent" and "Cumulative Discount" features
referred to above. The privilege of purchasing Class A shares of a Fund at net
asset value under the Large Order NAV Purchase Privilege is not available if
another net asset value purchase privilege is also applicable.
    
 
   
Class A shares may be sold at net asset value in any amount to: (a) officers,
trustees, directors, employees (including retirees) and sales representatives of
a Fund, its investment manager, its principal underwriter or certain affiliated
companies, for themselves or members of their families; (b) registered
representatives and employees of broker-dealers having selling group agreements
with KDI; (c) officers, directors and employees of service agents of the Funds;
(d) shareholders who owned shares of Kemper-Dreman Fund, Inc. ("KDF") on
September 8, 1995, and have continuously owned shares of KDF (or a Kemper Fund
acquired by exchange of KDF shares) since that date, for themselves or members
of their families; and (e) any trust, pension, profit-sharing or other benefit
plan for only such persons. Class A shares may be sold at net asset value in any
amount to selected employees (including their spouses and dependent children) of
banks and other financial services firms that provide administrative services
related to order placement and payment to facilitate transactions in shares of
the Funds for their clients pursuant to an agreement with KDI or one of its
affiliates. Only those employees of such banks and other firms who as part of
their usual duties provide services related to transactions in Fund shares may
purchase Fund Class A shares at net asset value hereunder. Class A shares may be
sold at net asset value in any amount to unit investment trusts sponsored by
Everen Securities, Inc. In addition, unitholders of unit investment trusts
sponsored by Everen Securities, Inc. or its predecessors may purchase a Fund's
Class A shares at net asset value through reinvestment programs described in the
prospectuses of such trusts which have such programs. Class A shares of a Fund
may be sold at net asset value through certain investment advisers registered
under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and other financial services firms
that adhere to certain standards established by KDI, including a requirement
that such shares be sold for the benefit of their clients participating in a
"wrap account" or similar program under which such clients pay a fee to the
investment adviser or other firm. Such shares are sold for investment purposes
and on the condition that they will not be resold except through redemption or
repurchase by the Funds. The Funds may also issue Class A shares at net asset
value in connection with the acquisition of the assets of or merger or
consolidation with another investment company, or to shareholders in connection
with the investment or reinvestment of income and capital gain dividends.
    
 
The sales charge scale is applicable to purchases made at one time by any
"purchaser" which includes: an individual; or an individual, his or her spouse
and children under the age of 21; or a trustee or other fiduciary of a single
trust estate or single fiduciary account; or an organization exempt from federal
income tax under Section 501(c)(3) or (13) of the Code; or a pension,
profit-sharing or other employee benefit plan whether or not qualified under
Section 401 of the Code; or other organized group of persons whether
incorporated or not, provided the organization has been in existence for at
least six months and has some purpose other than the purchase of redeemable
securities of a registered investment company at a discount. In order to qualify
for a lower sales charge,
 
                                       30
<PAGE>   37
 
all orders from an organized group will have to be placed through a single
investment dealer or other firm and identified as originating from a qualifying
purchaser.
 
DEFERRED SALES CHARGE ALTERNATIVE--CLASS B SHARES. Investors choosing the
deferred sales charge alternative may purchase Class B shares at net asset value
per share without any sales charge at the time of purchase. Since Class B shares
are being sold without an initial sales charge, the full amount of the
investor's purchase payment will be invested in Class B shares for his or her
account. A contingent deferred sales charge may be imposed upon redemption of
Class B shares. See "Redemption or Repurchase of Shares--Contingent Deferred
Sales Charge--Class B Shares."
 
KDI compensates firms for sales of Class B shares at the time of sale at a
commission rate of up to 3.75% of the amount of Class B shares purchased. KDI is
compensated by each Fund for services as distributor and principal underwriter
for Class B shares. See "Investment Manager and Underwriter."
 
Class B shares of a Fund will automatically convert to Class A shares of the
same Fund six years after issuance on the basis of the relative net asset value
per share. Class B shareholders of the Growth Fund, Small Cap Fund and Total
Return Fund who acquired their shares as a result of the acquisition by those
Funds of the assets of the Growth Portfolio, Small Capitalization Equity
Portfolio and Total Return Portfolio, respectively, of Kemper Portfolios,
formerly known as Kemper Investment Portfolios ("KIP"), hold them subject to the
same conversion period schedule as that of their KIP Portfolio. Class B shares
representing Initial Shares of a former KIP Portfolio will automatically convert
to Class A shares of the applicable Fund six years after issuance of the Initial
Shares for shares issued on or after February 1, 1991 and seven years after
issuance of the Initial Shares for shares issued before February 1, 1991. The
purpose of the conversion feature is to relieve holders of Class B shares from
the distribution services fee when they have been outstanding long enough for
KDI to have been compensated for distribution related expenses. For purposes of
conversion to Class A shares, shares purchased through the reinvestment of
dividends and other distributions paid with respect to Class B shares in a
shareholder's Fund account will be converted to Class A shares on a pro rata
basis.
 
PURCHASE OF CLASS C SHARES. The public offering price of the Class C shares of a
Fund is the next determined net asset value. No initial or contingent deferred
sales charge is imposed. Since Class C shares are sold without an initial sales
charge, the full amount of the investor's purchase payment will be invested in
Class C shares for his or her account. KDI pays firms for sales of Class C
shares a distribution fee, payable quarterly, at an annual rate of .75 of 1% of
net assets attributable to Class C shares maintained and serviced by the firm.
KDI is compensated by each Fund for services as distributor and principal
underwriter for Class C shares. See "Investment Manager and Underwriter."
 
   
WHICH ARRANGEMENT IS BETTER FOR YOU? The decision as to which class of shares
provides a more suitable investment for an investor depends on a number of
factors, including the amount and intended length of the investment. Investors
making investments that qualify for reduced sales charges might consider Class A
shares. Investors who prefer not to pay an initial sales charge and who plan to
hold their investment for more than six years might consider Class B shares.
Investors who prefer not to pay an initial sales charge but who plan to redeem
their shares within six years might consider Class C shares. Orders for Class B
shares or Class C shares for $500,000 or more will be declined. Orders for Class
B shares or Class C shares by employer sponsored employee benefit plans using
the subaccount record keeping system made available through the Shareholder
Service Agent will be invested instead in Class A shares at net asset value
where the combined subaccount value in a Fund or other Kemper Mutual Funds
listed under "Special Features -- Class A Shares -- Combined Purchases" is in
excess of $5 million including purchases pursuant to the "Combined Purchases,"
"Letter of Intent" and "Cumulative Discount" features described under "Special
Features." For more information about the three sales arrangements, consult your
financial representative or the Shareholder Service Agent. Financial services
firms may receive different compensation depending upon which class of shares
they sell.
    
 
GENERAL. Banks and other financial services firms may provide administrative
services related to order placement and payment to facilitate transactions in
shares of a Fund for their clients, and KDI may pay them a transaction fee
 
                                       31
<PAGE>   38
 
up to the level of the discount or commission allowable or payable to dealers,
as described above. Banks are currently prohibited under the Glass-Steagall Act
from providing certain underwriting or distribution services. Banks or other
financial services firms may be subject to various state laws regarding the
services described above and may be required to register as dealers pursuant to
state law. If banking firms were prohibited from acting in any capacity or
providing any of the described services, management would consider what action,
if any, would be appropriate. KDI does not believe that termination of a
relationship with a bank would result in any material adverse consequences to a
Fund.
 
In addition to the discounts or commissions described above, KDI will, from time
to time, pay or allow additional discounts, commissions or promotional
incentives, in the form of cash or other compensation, to firms that sell shares
of the Funds. Non cash compensation includes luxury merchandise and trips to
luxury resorts. In some instances, such discounts, commissions or other
incentives will be offered only to certain firms that sell or are expected to
sell during specified time periods certain minimum amounts of shares of the
Funds, or other funds underwritten by KDI.
 
Orders for the purchase of shares of a Fund will be confirmed at a price based
on the net asset value of that Fund next determined after receipt by KDI of the
order accompanied by payment. However, orders received by dealers or other
financial services firms prior to the determination of net asset value (see "Net
Asset Value") and received by KDI prior to the close of its business day will be
confirmed at a price based on the net asset value effective on that day. The
Funds reserve the right to determine the net asset value more frequently than
once a day if deemed desirable. Dealers and other financial services firms are
obligated to transmit orders promptly. Collection may take significantly longer
for a check drawn on a foreign bank than for a check drawn on a domestic bank.
Therefore, if an order is accompanied by a check drawn on a foreign bank, funds
must normally be collected before shares will be purchased. See "Purchase and
Redemption of Shares" in the Statement of Additional Information.
 
Investment dealers and other firms provide varying arrangements for their
clients to purchase and redeem the Funds' shares. Some may establish higher
minimum investment requirements than set forth above. Firms may arrange with
their clients for other investment or administrative services. Such firms may
independently establish and charge additional amounts to their clients for such
services, which charges would reduce the clients' return. Firms also may hold
the Funds' shares in nominee or street name as agent for and on behalf of their
customers. In such instances, the Funds' transfer agent will have no information
with respect to or control over the accounts of specific shareholders. Such
shareholders may obtain access to their accounts and information about their
accounts only from their firm. Certain of these firms may receive compensation
from the Funds through the Shareholder Service Agent for recordkeeping and other
expenses relating to these nominee accounts. In addition, certain privileges
with respect to the purchase and redemption of shares or the reinvestment of
dividends may not be available through such firms. Some firms may participate in
a program allowing them access to their clients' accounts for servicing
including, without limitation, transfers of registration and dividend payee
changes; and may perform functions such as generation of confirmation statements
and disbursement of cash dividends. Such firms, including affiliates of KDI, may
receive compensation from the Funds through the Shareholder Service Agent for
these services. This prospectus should be read in connection with such firms'
material regarding their fees and services.
 
The Funds reserve the right to withdraw all or any part of the offering made by
this prospectus and to reject purchase orders. Also, from time to time, each
Fund may temporarily suspend the offering of any class of its shares to new
investors. During the period of such suspension, persons who are already
shareholders of such class of such Fund normally are permitted to continue to
purchase additional shares of such class and to have dividends reinvested.
 
Shareholders should direct their inquiries to Kemper Service Company, 811 Main
Street, Kansas City, Missouri 64105-2005 or to the firm from which they received
this prospectus.

REDEMPTION OR REPURCHASE OF SHARES
 
GENERAL.  Any shareholder may require a Fund to redeem his or her shares. When
shares are held for the account of a shareholder by the Funds' transfer agent,
the shareholder may redeem them by sending a written request with signatures
guaranteed to Kemper Mutual Funds, Attention: Redemption Department, P.O. Box
419557, Kansas City, Missouri 64141-6557. When certificates for shares have been
issued, they must be mailed to or deposited with the Shareholder Service Agent,
along with a duly endorsed stock power and accompanied by a written request for
redemption. Redemption requests and a stock power must be endorsed by the
account holder with signatures guaranteed by a commercial bank, trust company,
savings and loan association, federal savings bank, member firm of a national
securities exchange or other eligible financial institution. The redemption
request and stock power must be signed exactly as the account is registered
including any special capacity of the registered owner. Additional documentation
may be requested, and a signature guarantee is normally required, from
institutional and fiduciary account holders, such as corporations, custodians
(e.g., under the Uniform Transfers to Minors Act), executors, administrators,
trustees or guardians.
 
The redemption price for shares of a Fund will be the net asset value per share
of that Fund next determined following receipt by the Shareholder Service Agent
of a properly executed request with any required documents as described above.
Payment for shares redeemed will be made in cash as promptly as practicable but
in no event later than seven days after receipt of a properly executed request
accompanied by any outstanding share certificates in proper form for transfer.
When a Fund is asked to redeem shares for which it may not have yet received
good payment, it may delay transmittal of redemption proceeds until it has
determined that collected funds have been received for the purchase of such
shares, which will be up to 15 days from receipt by a Fund of the purchase
amount. The redemption within one year of Class A shares purchased at net asset
value under the Large Order NAV Purchase Privilege may be subject to a 1%
contingent deferred sales charge (see "Purchase of Shares") and the redemption
of Class B shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge (see
"Contingent Deferred Sales Charge--Class B Shares" below).
 
Because of the high cost of maintaining small accounts, the Funds reserve the
right to redeem an account (and, in the case of Class B shares, impose any
applicable contingent deferred sales charge) that falls below the minimum
investment level, currently $1,000, as a result of redemptions. Currently,
Individual Retirement Accounts and employee benefit plan accounts are not
subject to this procedure. A shareholder will be notified in writing and will be
allowed 60 days to make additional purchases to bring the account value up to
the minimum investment level before a Fund redeems the shareholder's account.
The investment required to reach that level may be made at net asset value
(without any initial sales charge in the case of Class A shares).
 
Shareholders can request the following telephone privileges: expedited wire
transfer redemptions and EXPRESS-Transfer transactions (see "Special Features")
and exchange transactions for individual and institutional accounts and
pre-authorized telephone redemption transactions for certain institutional
accounts. Shareholders may choose these privileges on the account application or
by contacting the Shareholder Service Agent for appropriate instructions. Please
note that the telephone exchange privilege is automatic unless the shareholder
refuses it on the account application. Neither a Fund nor its agents will be
liable for any loss, expense or cost arising out of any telephone request
pursuant to these privileges, including any fraudulent or unauthorized request,
and THE SHAREHOLDER WILL BEAR THE RISK OF LOSS, so long as the Fund or its agent
reasonably believes, based upon reasonable verification procedures, that the
telephonic instructions are genuine. The verification procedures include
recording instructions, requiring certain identifying information before acting
upon instructions and sending written confirmations.
 
TELEPHONE REDEMPTIONS. If the proceeds of the redemption (prior to the
imposition of any contingent deferred sales charge in the case of Class B
shares) are $50,000 or less and the proceeds are payable to the shareholder of
record at the address of record, normally a telephone request or a written
request by any one account holder without a signature guarantee is sufficient
for redemptions by individual or joint account holders, and trust, executor and
guardian account holders (excluding custodial accounts for gifts and transfers
to minors), provided the trustee,
 
                                       33
<PAGE>   40
 
   
executor or guardian is named in the account registration. Other institutional
account holders and guardian account holders of custodial accounts for gifts and
transfers to minors may exercise this special privilege of redeeming shares by
telephone request or written request without signature guarantee subject to the
same conditions as individual account holders and subject to the limitations on
liability described under "General" above, provided that this privilege has been
pre-authorized by the institutional account holder or guardian account holder by
written instruction to the Shareholder Service Agent with signatures guaranteed.
Telephone requests may be made by calling 1-800-621-1048. Shares purchased by
check or through EXPRESS-Transfer or Bank Direct Deposit may not be redeemed
under this privilege of redeeming shares by telephone request until such shares
have been owned for at least 15 days. This privilege of redeeming shares by
telephone request or by written request without a signature guarantee may not be
used to redeem shares held in certificated form and may not be used if the
shareholder's account has had an address change within 30 days of the redemption
request. During periods when it is difficult to contact the Shareholder Service
Agent by telephone, it may be difficult to use the telephone redemption
privilege, although investors can still redeem by mail. The Funds reserve the
right to terminate or modify this privilege at any time.
    
 
REPURCHASES (CONFIRMED REDEMPTIONS). A request for repurchase may be
communicated by a shareholder through a securities dealer or other financial
services firm to KDI, which each Fund has authorized to act as its agent. There
is no charge by KDI with respect to repurchases; however, dealers or other firms
may charge customary commissions for their services. Dealers and other financial
services firms are obligated to transmit orders promptly. The repurchase price
will be the net asset value of the Fund next determined after receipt of a
request by KDI. However, requests for repurchases received by dealers or other
firms prior to the determination of net asset value (see "Net Asset Value") and
received by KDI prior to the close of KDI's business day will be confirmed at
the net asset value effective on that day. The offer to repurchase may be
suspended at any time. Requirements as to stock powers, certificates, payments
and delay of payments are the same as for redemptions.
 
EXPEDITED WIRE TRANSFER REDEMPTIONS. If the account holder has given
authorization for expedited wire redemption to the account holder's brokerage or
bank account, shares of a Fund can be redeemed and proceeds sent by federal wire
transfer to a single previously designated account. Requests received by the
Shareholder Service Agent prior to the determination of net asset value will
result in shares being redeemed that day at the net asset value of the Fund
effective on that day and normally the proceeds will be sent to the designated
account the following business day. Delivery of the proceeds of a wire
redemption of $250,000 or more may be delayed by the Fund for up to seven days
if KFS deems it appropriate under then current market conditions. Once
authorization is on file, the Shareholder Service Agent will honor requests by
telephone at 1-800-621-1048 or in writing, subject to the limitations on
liability described under "General" above. The Funds are not responsible for the
efficiency of the federal wire system or the account holder's financial services
firm or bank. The Funds currently do not charge the account holder for wire
transfers. The account holder is responsible for any charges imposed by the
account holder's firm or bank. There is a $1,000 wire redemption minimum
(including any contingent deferred sales charge). To change the designated
account to receive wire redemption proceeds, send a written request to the
Shareholder Service Agent with signatures guaranteed as described above or
contact the firm through which shares of the Fund were purchased. Shares
purchased by check or through EXPRESS-Transfer or Bank Direct Deposit may not be
redeemed by wire transfer until such shares have been owned for at least 15
days. Account holders may not use this privilege to redeem shares held in
certificated form. During periods when it is difficult to contact the
Shareholder Service Agent by telephone, it may be difficult to use the expedited
redemption privilege. The Funds reserve the right to terminate or modify this
privilege at any time.
 
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE -- LARGE ORDER NAV PURCHASE PRIVILEGE. A
contingent deferred sales charge of 1% may be imposed upon redemption of Class A
shares that are purchased under the Large Order NAV Purchase Privilege if they
are redeemed within one year of purchase. The charge will not be imposed upon
redemption of reinvested dividends or share appreciation. The charge is applied
to the value of the shares redeemed excluding amounts not subject to the charge.
The contingent deferred sales charge will be waived in the event of: (a)
redemptions by a participant-directed qualified retirement plan described in
Code Section 401(a) or a participant-directed non-qualified deferred
compensation plan described in Code Section 457; (b) redemptions by
 
                                       34
<PAGE>   41
 
   
employer sponsored employee benefit plans using the subaccount record keeping
system made available through the Shareholder Service Agent; (c) redemption of
shares of a shareholder (including a registered joint owner) who has died; (d)
redemption of shares of a shareholder (including a registered joint owner) who
after purchase of the shares being redeemed becomes totally disabled (as
evidenced by a determination by the federal Social Security Administration); and
(e) redemptions under a Fund's Systematic Withdrawal Plan at a maximum of 10%
per year of the net asset value of the account.
    
 
CONTINGENT DEFERRED SALES CHARGE--CLASS B SHARES. A contingent deferred sales
charge may be imposed upon redemption of Class B shares. There is no such charge
upon redemption of any share appreciation or reinvested dividends on Class B
shares. The charge is computed at the following rates applied to the value of
the shares redeemed excluding amounts not subject to the charge.

</TABLE>
 
The following example will illustrate the operation of the contingent deferred
sales charge. Assume that an investor makes a single purchase of $10,000 of a
Fund's Class B shares and that 16 months later the value of the shares has grown
by $1,000 through reinvested dividends and by an additional $1,000 in
appreciation to a total of $12,000. If the investor were then to redeem the
entire $12,000 in share value, the contingent deferred sales charge would be
payable only with respect to $10,000 because neither the $1,000 of reinvested
dividends nor the $1,000 of share appreciation is subject to the charge. The
charge would be at the rate of 3% ($300) because it was in the second year after
the purchase was made.
 
The rate of the contingent deferred sales charge under the schedule above is
determined by the length of the period of ownership. Investments are tracked on
a monthly basis. The period of ownership for this purpose begins the first day
of the month in which the order for the investment is received. For example, an
investment made in June, 1994 will be eligible for the 3% charge if redeemed on
or after June 1, 1995. In the event no specific order is requested, the
redemption will be made first from Class B shares representing reinvested
dividends and then from the earliest purchase of Class B shares. KDI receives
any contingent deferred sales charge directly.

The contingent deferred sales charge will be waived: (a) in the event of the
total disability (as evidenced by a determination by the federal Social Security
Administration) of the shareholder (including a registered joint owner)
occurring after the purchase of the shares being redeemed, (b) in the event of
the death of the shareholder (including a registered joint owner), (c) for
redemptions made pursuant to a systematic withdrawal plan (see "Special
Features--Systematic Withdrawal Plan" below), (d) for redemptions made pursuant
to any IRA systematic withdrawal based on the shareholder's life expectancy
including, but not limited to, substantially equal periodic payments described
in Internal Revenue Code Section 72(t)(2)(A)(iv) prior to age 59 1/2 and (e) for
redemptions to satisfy required minimum distributions after age 70 1/2 from an
IRA account (with the maximum amount subject to this waiver being based only
upon the shareholder's Kemper IRA accounts). The contingent deferred sales
charge will also be waived in connection with the following redemptions of
shares held by employer sponsored employee benefit plans maintained on the
subaccount record keeping system made available by the Shareholder Service
Agent: (a) redemptions to satisfy participant loan advances (note that loan
repayments constitute new purchases for purposes of the contingent deferred
sales charge and the conversion privilege), (b) redemptions in connection with
retirement distributions (limited at any one time to 10% of the total value of
plan assets invested in a Fund), (c) redemptions in connection with
distributions qualifying under the hardship provisions of the Internal Revenue
Code and (d) redemptions representing returns of excess contributions to such
plans.
    
 
REINVESTMENT PRIVILEGE. A shareholder who has redeemed Class A shares of a Fund
or any other Kemper Mutual Fund listed under "Special Features--Class A
Shares--Combined Purchases" may reinvest up to the full amount redeemed at net
asset value at the time of the reinvestment in Class A shares of a Fund or of
the other listed Kemper Mutual Funds. A shareholder of a Fund or other Kemper
Mutual Fund who redeems Class A shares purchased under the Large Order NAV
Purchase Privilege (see "Purchase of Shares") or Class B shares and incurs a
contingent deferred sales charge may reinvest up to the full amount redeemed at
net asset value at the time of the reinvestment, in Class A shares or Class B
shares, as the case may be, of a Fund or of other Kemper Mutual Funds. The
amount of any contingent deferred sales charge also will be reinvested. These
reinvested shares will retain their original cost and purchase date for purposes
of the contingent deferred sales charge. Also, a holder of Class B shares who
has redeemed shares may reinvest up to the full amount redeemed, less any
applicable contingent deferred sales charge that may have been imposed upon the
redemption of such shares, at net asset value in Class A shares of a Fund or of
the other Kemper Mutual Funds listed under "Special Features--Class A
Shares--Combined Purchases." Purchases through the reinvestment privilege are
subject to the minimum investment requirements applicable to the shares being
purchased and may only be made for Kemper Funds available for sale in the
shareholder's state of residence as listed under "Special Features--Exchange
Privilege." The reinvestment privilege can be used only once as to any specific
shares and reinvestment must be effected within six months of the redemption. If
a loss is realized on the redemption of shares of a Fund, the reinvestment may
be subject to the "wash sale" rules if made within 30 days of the redemption,
resulting in a postponement of the recognition of such loss for federal income
tax purposes. The reinvestment privilege may be terminated or modified at any
time.
 
SPECIAL FEATURES
 
CLASS A SHARES--COMBINED PURCHASES. Each Fund's Class A shares may be purchased
at the rate applicable to the discount bracket attained by combining concurrent
investments in Class A shares of any of the following funds: Kemper Technology
Fund, Kemper Total Return Fund, Kemper Growth Fund, Kemper Small Capitalization
Equity Fund, Kemper Income and Capital Preservation Fund, Kemper Municipal Bond
Fund, Kemper Diversified Income Fund, Kemper High Yield Fund, Kemper U.S.
Government Securities Fund, Kemper International Fund, Kemper State Tax-Free
Income Series, Kemper Adjustable Rate U.S. Government Fund, Kemper Blue Chip
Fund, Kemper Global Income Fund, Kemper Target Equity Fund (series are subject
to a limited offering period), Kemper Intermediate Municipal Bond Fund, Kemper
Cash Reserves Fund (available only upon exchange or conversion from Class A
shares of another Kemper Mutual Fund), Kemper U.S. Mortgage Fund, Kemper
Short-Intermediate Government Fund, Kemper Value+Growth Fund and Kemper-Dreman
Fund, Inc. ("Kemper Mutual Funds"). Except as noted below, there is no combined
purchase credit for direct purchases of shares of Kemper Money Market Fund, Cash
Equivalent Fund, Tax-Exempt California Money Market Fund, Cash Account Trust,
Tax-Exempt
 
                                       36
<PAGE>   43
 
   
New York Money Market Fund or Investors Cash Trust ("Money Market Funds"), which
are not considered "Kemper Mutual Funds" for purposes hereof. For purposes of
the Combined Purchases feature described above as well as for the Letter of
Intent and Cumulative Discount features described below, employer sponsored
employee benefit plans using the subaccount record keeping system made available
through the Shareholder Service Agent may include: (a) Money Market Funds as
"Kemper Mutual Funds", (b) all classes of shares of any Kemper Mutual Fund and
(c) the value of any other plan investment, such as guaranteed investment
contracts and employer stock, maintained on such subaccount record keeping
system.
    
 
   
CLASS A SHARES--LETTER OF INTENT. The same reduced sales charges for Class A
shares, as shown in the applicable prospectus, also apply to the aggregate
amount of purchases of such Kemper Mutual Funds listed above made by any
purchaser within a 24-month period under a written Letter of Intent ("Letter")
provided by KDI. The Letter, which imposes no obligation to purchase or sell
additional Class A shares, provides for a price adjustment depending upon the
actual amount purchased within such period. The Letter provides that the first
purchase following execution of the Letter must be at least 5% of the amount of
the intended purchase, and that 5% of the amount of the intended purchase
normally will be held in escrow in the form of shares pending completion of the
intended purchase. If the total investments under the Letter are less than the
intended amount and thereby qualify only for a higher sales charge than actually
paid, the appropriate number of escrowed shares are redeemed and the proceeds
used toward satisfaction of the obligation to pay the increased sales charge.
The Letter for an employer sponsored employee benefit plan maintained on the
subaccount record keeping system available through the Shareholder Service Agent
may have special provisions regarding payment of any increased sales charge
resulting from a failure to complete the intended purchase under the Letter. A
shareholder may include the value (at the maximum offering price) of all shares
of such Kemper Mutual Funds held of record as of the initial purchase date under
the Letter as an "accumulation credit" toward the completion of the Letter, but
no price adjustment will be made on such shares. Only investments in Class A
shares are included in this privilege.
    
 
CLASS A SHARES--CUMULATIVE DISCOUNT. Class A shares of a Fund may also be
purchased at the rate applicable to the discount bracket attained by adding to
the cost of shares of a Fund being purchased, the value of all Class A shares of
the above mentioned Kemper Mutual Funds (computed at the maximum offering price
at the time of the purchase for which the discount is applicable) already owned
by the investor.
 
CLASS A SHARES--AVAILABILITY OF QUANTITY DISCOUNTS. An investor or the
investor's dealer or other financial services firm must notify the Shareholder
Service Agent or KDI whenever a quantity discount or reduced sales charge is
applicable to a purchase. Upon such notification, the investor will receive the
lowest applicable sales charge. Quantity discounts described above may be
modified or terminated at any time.
 
EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE. Shareholders of Class A, Class B and Class C shares may
exchange their shares for shares of the corresponding class of other Kemper
Mutual Funds in accordance with the provisions below.
 
Class A Shares. Class A shares of the Kemper Mutual Funds and shares of the
Money Market Funds listed under "Special Features--Class A Shares--Combined
Purchases" above may be exchanged for each other at their relative net asset
values. Shares of Money Market Funds that were acquired by purchase (not
including shares acquired by dividend reinvestment) are subject to the
applicable sales charge on exchange. Series of Kemper Target Equity Fund are
available on exchange only during the Offering Period for such series as
described in the applicable prospectus. Cash Equivalent Fund, Tax-Exempt
California Money Market Fund, Cash Account Trust, Tax-Exempt New York Money
Market Fund and Investors Cash Trust are available on exchange but only through
a financial services firm having a services agreement with KDI. Exchanges may
only be made for funds that are available for sale in the shareholder's state of
residence. Currently, Tax-Exempt California Money Market Fund is available for
sale only in California and Tax-Exempt New York Money Market Fund is available
for sale only in New York, Connecticut, New Jersey and Pennsylvania.
 
Class A shares of a Fund purchased under the Large Order NAV Purchase Privilege
may be exchanged for Class A shares of another Kemper Mutual Fund or a Money
Market Fund under the exchange privilege described above without paying any
contingent deferred sales charge at the time of exchange. If the Class A shares
received on
 
                                       37
<PAGE>   44
 
exchange are redeemed thereafter, a contingent deferred sales charge may be
imposed in accordance with the foregoing requirements provided that the shares
redeemed will retain their original cost and purchase date for purposes of the
contingent deferred sales charge.
 
Class B Shares. Class B shares of a Fund and Class B shares of any other Kemper
Mutual Fund listed under "Special Features--Class A Shares--Combined Purchases"
may be exchanged for each other at their relative net asset values. Class B
shares may be exchanged without a contingent deferred sales charge being imposed
at the time of exchange. For purposes of the contingent deferred sales charge
that may be imposed upon the redemption of the shares received on exchange,
amounts exchanged retain their original cost and purchase date.
 
Class C Shares. Class C shares of a Fund and Class C shares of any other Kemper
Mutual Fund listed under "Special Features--Class A Shares--Combined Purchases"
may be exchanged for each other at their relative net asset values.
 
General. Shares purchased by check or through EXPRESS-Transfer or Bank Direct
Deposit may not be exchanged until they have been owned for at least 15 days. In
addition, shares of a Kemper Mutual Fund (except Kemper Cash Reserves Fund)
acquired by exchange from another Kemper Mutual Fund, or from a Money Market
Fund, may not be exchanged thereafter until they have been owned for 15 days.
The total value of shares being exchanged must at least equal the minimum
investment requirement of the fund into which they are being exchanged.
Exchanges are made based on relative dollar values of the shares involved in the
exchange. There is no service fee for an exchange; however, dealers or other
firms may charge for their services in effecting exchange transactions.
Exchanges will be effected by redemption of shares of the fund held and purchase
of shares of the other fund. For federal income tax purposes, any such exchange
constitutes a sale upon which a gain or loss may be realized, depending upon
whether the value of the shares being exchanged is more or less than the
shareholder's adjusted cost basis. Shareholders interested in exercising the
exchange privilege may obtain prospectuses of the other funds from dealers,
other firms or KDI. Exchanges may be accomplished by a written request to Kemper
Mutual Funds, Attention: Exchange Department, P.O. Box 419557, Kansas City,
Missouri 64141-6557, or by telephone if the shareholder has given authorization.
Once the authorization is on file, the Shareholder Service Agent will honor
requests by telephone at 1-800-621-1048, subject to the limitations on liability
under "Redemption or Repurchase of Shares--General." Any share certificates must
be deposited prior to any exchange of such shares. During periods when it is
difficult to contact the Shareholder Service Agent by telephone, it may be
difficult to use the telephone exchange privilege. The exchange privilege is not
a right and may be suspended, terminated or modified at any time. Except as
otherwise permitted by applicable regulations, 60 days' prior written notice of
any termination or material change will be provided.
 
SYSTEMATIC EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE. The owner of $1,000 or more of any class of the
shares of a Kemper Mutual Fund or Money Market Fund may authorize the automatic
exchange of a specified amount ($100 minimum) of such shares for shares of the
same class of another such Kemper Fund. If selected, exchanges will be made
automatically until the privilege is terminated by the shareholder or the Kemper
Fund. Exchanges are subject to the terms and conditions described above under
"Exchange Privilege," including the $1,000 minimum investment requirement for
the Kemper Fund acquired on exchange. This privilege may not be used for the
exchange of shares held in certificated form.
 
EXPRESS-TRANSFER. EXPRESS-Transfer permits the transfer of money via the
Automated Clearing House System (minimum $100 and maximum $2,500) from a
shareholder's bank, savings and loan, or credit union account to purchase shares
in a Fund. Shareholders can also redeem shares (minimum $500 and maximum $2,500)
from their Fund account and transfer the proceeds to their bank, savings and
loan, or credit union checking account. By enrolling in EXPRESS-Transfer, the
shareholder authorizes the Shareholder Service Agent to rely upon telephone
instructions from ANY PERSON to transfer the specified amounts between the
shareholder's Fund account and the predesignated bank, savings and loan or
credit union account, subject to the limitations on liability under "Redemption
or Repurchase of Shares--General." Once enrolled in EXPRESS-Transfer, a
shareholder can initiate a transaction by calling Kemper Shareholder Services
toll free at 1-800-621-1048 Monday through Friday, 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
Chicago time. Shareholders may terminate this privilege by sending written
notice to Kemper Service
 
                                       38
<PAGE>   45
 
Company, P.O. Box 419415, Kansas City, Missouri 64141-6415. Termination will
become effective as soon as the Shareholder Service Agent has had a reasonable
time to act upon the request. EXPRESS-Transfer cannot be used with passbook
savings accounts or for tax-deferred plans such as Individual Retirement
Accounts ("IRAs").
 
BANK DIRECT DEPOSIT. A shareholder may purchase additional shares of a Fund
through an automatic investment program. With the Bank Direct Deposit Purchase
Plan, monthly investments are made automatically from the shareholder's account
at a bank, savings and loan or credit union into the shareholder's Fund account.
By enrolling in Bank Direct Deposit, the shareholder authorizes the Fund and its
agents to either draw checks or initiate Automated Clearing House debits against
the designated account at a bank or other financial institution. This privilege
may be selected by completing the appropriate section on the Account Application
or by contacting the Shareholder Service Agent for appropriate forms. A
shareholder may terminate his or her Plan by sending written notice to Kemper
Service Company, P.O. Box 419415, Kansas City, Missouri 64141-6415. Termination
by a shareholder will become effective within thirty days after the Shareholder
Service Agent has received the request. A Fund may immediately terminate a
shareholder's Plan in the event that any item is unpaid by the shareholder's
financial institution. The Funds may terminate or modify this privilege at any
time.
 
PAYROLL DIRECT DEPOSIT AND GOVERNMENT DIRECT DEPOSIT. A shareholder may invest
in a Fund through Payroll Direct Deposit or Government Direct Deposit. Under
these programs, all or a portion of a shareholder's net pay or government check
is automatically invested in a Fund account each payment period. A shareholder
may terminate participation in these programs by giving written notice to the
shareholder's employer or government agency, as appropriate. (A reasonable time
to act is required.) A Fund is not responsible for the efficiency of the
employer or government agency making the payment or any financial institutions
transmitting payments.
 
SYSTEMATIC WITHDRAWAL PLAN. The owner of $5,000 or more of a class of a Fund's
shares at the offering price (net asset value plus, in the case of Class A
shares, the initial sales charge) may provide for the payment from the owner's
account of any requested dollar amount to be paid to the owner or a designated
payee monthly, quarterly, semiannually or annually. The $5,000 minimum account
size is not applicable to Individual Retirement Accounts. The minimum periodic
payment is $100. The maximum annual rate at which Class B shares may be redeemed
under a systematic withdrawal plan is 10% of the net asset value of the account.
Shares are redeemed so that the payee will receive payment approximately the
first of the month. Any income and capital gain dividends will be automatically
reinvested at net asset value. A sufficient number of full and fractional shares
will be redeemed to make the designated payment. Depending upon the size of the
payments requested and fluctuations in the net asset value of the shares
redeemed, redemptions for the purpose of making such payments may reduce or even
exhaust the account.
 
The purchase of Class A shares while participating in a systematic withdrawal
plan will ordinarily be disadvantageous to the investor because the investor
will be paying a sales charge on the purchase of shares at the same time that
the investor is redeeming shares upon which a sales charge may have already been
paid. Therefore, a Fund will not knowingly permit additional investments of less
than $2,000 if the investor is at the same time making systematic withdrawals.
KDI will waive the contingent deferred sales charge on redemptions of Class B
shares made pursuant to a systematic withdrawal plan. The right is reserved to
amend the systematic withdrawal plan on 30 days' notice. The plan may be
terminated at any time by the investor or the Funds.
 
TAX-SHELTERED RETIREMENT PLANS. KFS provides retirement plan services and
documents and KDI can establish investor accounts in any of the following types
of retirement plans:
 
- - Individual Retirement Accounts ("IRAs") trusteed by IFTC. This includes
  Simplified Employee Pension Plan ("SEP") IRA accounts and prototype documents.
 
- - 403(b)(7) Custodial Accounts also trusteed by IFTC. This type of plan is
  available to employees of most non-profit organizations.
 
- - Prototype money purchase pension and profit-sharing plans may be adopted by
  employers. The maximum annual contribution per participant is the lesser of
  25% of compensation or $30,000.
 
                                       39
<PAGE>   46
 
Brochures describing the above plans as well as model defined benefit plans,
target benefit plans, 457 plans, 401(k) plans and materials for establishing
them are available from KDI upon request. The brochures for plans trusteed by
IFTC describe the current fees payable to IFTC for its services as trustee.
Investors should consult with their own tax advisers before establishing a
retirement plan.
 
PERFORMANCE
 
   
The Funds may advertise several types of performance information for a class of
shares, including "average annual total return" and "total return." Performance
information will be computed separately for Class A, Class B and Class C shares.
Each of these figures is based upon historical results and is not representative
of the future performance of any class of the Funds.
    
 
Average annual total return and total return figures measure both the net
investment income generated by, and the effect of any realized and unrealized
appreciation or depreciation of, the underlying investments in a Fund's
portfolio for the period referenced, assuming the reinvestment of all dividends.
Thus, these figures reflect the change in the value of an investment in a Fund
during a specified period. Average annual total return will be quoted for at
least the one, five and ten year periods ending on a recent calendar quarter (or
if such periods have not yet elapsed, at the end of a shorter period
corresponding to the life of the Fund for performance purposes). Average annual
total return figures represent the average annual percentage change over the
period in question. Total return figures represent the aggregate percentage or
dollar value change over the period in question.
 
A Fund's performance may be compared to that of the Consumer Price Index or
various unmanaged equity indexes including, but not limited to, the Dow Jones
Industrial Average, the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index, the Russell 1000(R)
Growth Index, the Wilshire Large Company Growth Index, the Wilshire 750 Mid Cap
Company Growth Index, the Standard & Poor's/Barra Value Index, Standard &
Poor's/Barra Growth Index and the Russell 1000(R) Value Index. The performance
of a Fund such as the Total Return Fund may also be compared to the combined
performance of two indexes, such as a 60%/40% combination of the Standard &
Poor's 500 Stock Index and the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate Bond Index
or for the Value+Growth Fund to a 50%/50% combination of the Russell 1000(R)
Growth Index and the Russell 1000(R) Value Index. The performance of a Fund may
also be compared to the performance of other mutual funds or mutual fund indexes
with similar objectives and policies as reported by independent mutual fund
reporting services such as Lipper Analytical Services, Inc. ("Lipper"). Lipper
performance calculations are based upon changes in net asset value with all
dividends reinvested and do not include the effect of any sales charges.
 
   
Information may be quoted from publications such as Morningstar, Inc., The Wall
Street Journal, Money Magazine, Forbes, Barron's, Fortune, The Chicago Tribune,
USA Today, Institutional Investor and Registered Representative. Also, investors
may want to compare the historical returns of various investments, performance
indexes of those investments or economic indicators, including but not limited
to stocks, bonds, certificates of deposit, money market funds and U.S. Treasury
obligations. Bank product performance may be based upon, among other things, the
BANK RATE MONITOR National IndexTM or various certificate of deposit indexes.
Money market fund performance may be based upon, among other things, the
IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Report(R) or Money Market Insight(R), reporting
services on money market funds. Performance of U.S. Treasury obligations may be
based upon, among other things, various U.S. Treasury bill indexes. Certain of
these alternative investments may offer fixed rates of return and guaranteed
principal and may be insured.
    
 
   
A Fund may depict the historical performance of the securities in which the Fund
may invest over periods reflecting a variety of market or economic conditions
either alone or in comparison with alternative investments, performance indexes
of those investments or economic indicators. A Fund may also describe its
portfolio holdings and depict its size or relative size compared to other mutual
funds, the number and make-up of its shareholder base and other descriptive
factors concerning the Fund. The relative performance of growth stocks versus
value stocks may also be discussed.
    
 
                                       40
<PAGE>   47
 
Each Fund's Class A shares are sold at net asset value plus a maximum sales
charge of 5.75% of the offering price. While the maximum sales charge is
normally reflected in the Fund's Class A performance figures, certain total
return calculations may not include such charge and those results would be
reduced if it were included. Class B shares and Class C shares are sold at net
asset value. Redemptions of Class B shares within the first six years after
purchase may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge that ranges from
4% during the first year to 0% after six years. Average annual total return
figures do, and total return figures may, include the effect of the contingent
deferred sales charge for the Class B shares that may be imposed at the end of
the period in question. Performance figures for the Class B shares not including
the effect of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge would be reduced
if it were included.
 
Each Fund's returns and net asset value will fluctuate. Shares of a Fund are
redeemable by an investor at the then current net asset value, which may be more
or less than original cost. Redemption of Class B shares may be subject to a
contingent deferred sales charge as described above. Additional information
concerning each Fund's performance appears in the Statement of Additional
Information. Additional information about each Fund's performance also appears
in its Annual Report to Shareholders, which is available without charge from the
Fund.
 
CAPITAL STRUCTURE
 
The Funds are open-end management investment companies, organized as separate
business trusts under the laws of Massachusetts. The Blue Chip Fund was
organized as a business trust under the laws of Massachusetts on May 28, 1987.
The Growth Fund was organized as a business trust under the laws of
Massachusetts on October 24, 1985 and, effective January 31, 1986, that Fund
pursuant to a reorganization succeeded to the assets and liabilities of Kemper
Growth Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation organized in 1965. The Small Cap Fund
was organized as a business trust under the laws of Massachusetts on October 24,
1985 and, effective January 31, 1986, that Fund pursuant to a reorganization
succeeded to the assets and liabilities of Kemper Summit Fund, Inc., a Maryland
corporation organized in 1968. Prior to February 1, 1992, the Small Cap Fund was
known as "Kemper Summit Fund." The Technology Fund was organized as a business
trust under the laws of Massachusetts on October 24, 1985 as Technology Fund and
changed its name to Kemper Technology Fund effective February 1, 1988. Effective
January 31, 1986, Technology Fund pursuant to a reorganization succeeded to the
assets and liabilities of Technology Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation
originally organized as a Delaware corporation in 1948. Technology Fund was
known as Television Fund, Inc. until 1950 and as Television-Electronics Fund,
Inc. until 1968. The Total Return Fund was organized as a business trust under
the laws of Massachusetts on October 24, 1985 and, effective January 31, 1986,
that Fund pursuant to a reorganization succeeded to the assets and liabilities
of Kemper Total Return Fund, Inc., a Maryland corporation organized in 1963. The
Total Return Fund was known as Balanced Income Fund, Inc. until 1972 and as
Supervised Investors Income Fund, Inc. until 1977. The Value+Growth Fund was
organized as a business trust under the laws of Massachusetts on June 12, 1995
under the name Kemper Value Plus Growth Fund and does business as Kemper
Value+Growth Fund. The investment manager invested the "seed money" as the sole
shareholder of the Value+Growth Fund before the public offering of its shares
and therefore as of the date of this prospectus controls the Value+Growth Fund.
 
   
Each Fund may issue an unlimited number of shares of beneficial interest in one
or more series or "Portfolios," all having no par value, which may be divided by
the Board of Trustees into classes of shares. Currently, each Fund offers four
classes of shares. These are Class A, Class B and Class C shares, as well as
Class I shares, which are available for purchase exclusively by the following
investors: (a) tax-exempt retirement plans of KFS and its affiliates; and (b)
the following investment advisory clients of KFS and its investment advisory
affiliates that invest at least $1 million in a Fund: (1) unaffiliated benefit
plans, such as qualified retirement plans (other than individual retirement
accounts and self-directed retirement plans); (2) unaffiliated banks and
insurance companies purchasing for their own accounts; and (3) endowment funds
of unaffiliated non-profit organizations. The Board of Trustees of a Fund may
authorize the issuance of additional classes and additional Portfolios if deemed
desirable, each with its own investment objectives, policies and restrictions.
Since the Funds may offer multiple Portfolios, each is known as a "series
company." Shares of a Fund have equal noncumulative voting rights except that
Class B and Class C shares have separate and exclusive voting rights with
respect to each Fund's Rule 12b-1 Plan. Shares of each class also have equal
rights with respect to dividends, assets and liquidation of such Fund subject to
any preferences (such as
    
 
                                       41
<PAGE>   48
 
resulting from different Rule 12b-1 distribution fees), rights or privileges of
any classes of shares of the Fund. Shares of each Fund are fully paid and
nonassessable when issued, are transferable without restriction and have no
preemptive or conversion rights. The Funds are not required to hold annual
shareholder meetings and do not intend to do so. However, they will hold special
meetings as required or deemed desirable for such purposes as electing trustees,
changing fundamental policies or approving an investment management agreement.
Subject to the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of each Fund, shareholders may
remove trustees. If shares of more than one Portfolio for any Fund are

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS
 
Each Fund has adopted certain fundamental investment restrictions which,
together with the investment objective and fundamental policies of such Fund,
cannot be changed without approval of a majority of its outstanding voting
shares. As defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940, this means the lesser
of the vote of (a) 67% of the shares of the Fund present at a meeting where more
than 50% of the outstanding shares are present in person or by proxy or (b) more
than 50% of the outstanding shares of the Fund.
 
THE BLUE CHIP FUND MAY NOT, AS A FUNDAMENTAL POLICY:
 
(1) Purchase securities of any issuer (other than obligations of, or guaranteed
by, the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a result,
more than 5% of the total value of the Fund's assets would be invested in
securities of that issuer.
 
(2) Purchase more than 10% of any class of voting securities of any issuer.
 
(3) Make loans to others provided that the Fund may purchase debt obligations or
repurchase agreements and it may lend its securities in accordance with its
investment objective and policies.
 
(4) Borrow money except as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency
purposes, and then only in an amount up to one-third of the value of its total
assets, in order to meet redemption requests without immediately selling any
portfolio securities. If, for any reason, the current value of the Fund's total
assets falls below an amount equal to three times the amount of its indebtedness
from money borrowed, the Fund will, within three days (not including Sundays and
holidays), reduce its indebtedness to the extent necessary. The Fund will not
borrow for leverage purposes and will not purchase securities or make
investments while borrowings are outstanding.
 
(5) Pledge, hypothecate, mortgage or otherwise encumber more than 15% of its
total assets and then only to secure borrowings permitted by restriction number
(5) above. (The collateral arrangements with respect to options, financial
futures and delayed delivery transactions and any margin payments in connection
therewith are not deemed to be pledges or other encumbrances.)
 
(6) Purchase securities on margin, except to obtain such short-term credits as
may be necessary for the clearance of transactions; however, the Fund may make
margin deposits in connection with options and financial futures transactions.
 
(7) Make short sales of securities or maintain a short position for the account
of the Fund unless at all times when a short position is open it owns an equal
amount of such securities or owns securities which, without payment of any
further consideration, are convertible into or exchangeable for securities of
the same issue as, and equal in amount to, the securities sold short and unless
not more than 10% of the Fund's total assets is held as collateral for such
sales at any one time.
 
(8) Write (sell) put or call options, combinations thereof or similar options;
nor may it purchase put or call options if more than 5% of the Fund's net assets
would be invested in premiums on put and call options, combinations thereof or
similar options; however, the Fund may buy or sell options on financial futures
contracts.
 
(9) Purchase securities (other than securities of the U.S. Government, its
agencies or instrumentalities) if as a result of such purchase 25% or more of
the Fund's total assets would be invested in any one industry.
 
(10) Invest in commodities or commodity futures contracts, although it may buy
or sell financial futures contracts and options on such contracts, and engage in
foreign currency transactions; or in real estate (including real estate limited
partnership interests), although it may invest in securities which are secured
by real estate and securities of issuers which invest or deal in real estate.
 
(11) Underwrite securities issued by others except to the extent the Fund may be
deemed to be an underwriter, under the federal securities laws, in connection
with the disposition of portfolio securities.
 
                                       B-1
<PAGE>   53
 
(12) Issue senior securities except as permitted under the Investment Company
Act of 1940.
 
If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time of investment, a later
increase or decrease in percentage beyond the specified limit resulting from a
change in values or net assets will not be considered a violation. The Fund did
not borrow money as permitted by investment restriction number 4 in the latest
fiscal year and it has no present intention of borrowing during the current
year. The Fund has adopted the following non-fundamental restrictions, which may
be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval. The Blue Chip
Fund may not:
 
(i) Purchase or retain the securities of any issuer if any of the officers,
trustees or directors of the Fund or its investment adviser owns beneficially
more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities of such issuer and together own more than
5% of the securities of such issuer.
 
(ii) Invest for the purpose of exercising control or management of another
issuer.
 
(iii) Invest in interests in oil, gas or other mineral exploration or
development programs, although it may invest in the securities of issuers which
invest in or sponsor such programs.
 
(iv) Purchase securities of other open-end investment companies, except in
connection with a merger, consolidation, reorganization or acquisition of
assets.
 
(v) Invest more than 5% of the Fund's total assets in securities of issuers
(other than obligations of, or guaranteed by, the U.S. Government, its agencies
or instrumentalities) which with their predecessors have a record of less than
three years continuous operation and equity securities of issuers which are not
readily marketable.
 
(vi) Invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.
 
(vii) Invest in warrants if more than 5% of the Fund's net assets would be
invested in warrants. Included within that amount, but not to exceed 2% of the
Fund's net assets, may be warrants not listed on the New York or American Stock
Exchange. Warrants acquired in units or attached to securities may be deemed to
be without value for such purposes.
 
(viii) Invest in oil, gas, and other mineral leases.
 
(ix) Purchase or sell real property (including limited partnership interests but
excluding readily marketable interests in real estate investment trusts and
readily marketable securities of companies which invest in real estate).
 
   
(x) Invest more than 5% of its total assets in restricted securities, excluding
restricted securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act of 1933 that have been determined to be liquid pursuant to
procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees, provided that the total amount of
Fund assets invested in restricted securities and securities of issuers which
with their predecessors have a record of less than three years continuous
operation will not exceed 15% of total assets.
    
 
(xi) Invest more than 10% of its total assets in securities of real estate
investment trusts.
 
THE GROWTH FUND AND THE VALUE+GROWTH FUND, EACH MAY NOT, AS A FUNDAMENTAL
POLICY:
 
(1) Purchase securities of any issuer (other than obligations of, or guaranteed
by, the United States Government, its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a
result, more than 5% of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities
of that issuer.
 
(2) Purchase more than 10% of any class of securities of any issuer. All debt
securities and all preferred stocks are each considered as one class.
 
(3) Lend money or securities, provided that the making of time or demand
deposits with banks and the purchase of debt securities such as bonds,
debentures, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and short-term obligations
in accordance with its objective and policies are not prohibited and the Fund
may lend its portfolio securities as described under "Investment Objectives and
Policies" in the prospectus.

of the borrowing secured thereby.

contracts.

Water, communications, electric and gas utilities shall each be considered a
separate industry.
 
(8) Invest in commodities or commodity futures contracts, although it may buy or
sell financial futures contracts and options on such contracts, and engage in
foreign currency transactions; or in real estate, although it may invest in
securities which are secured by real estate and securities of issuers which
invest or deal in real estate.
 
(9) Underwrite securities issued by others except to the extent the Fund may be
deemed to be an underwriter, under the federal securities laws, in connection
with the disposition of portfolio securities.

Water, communications, electric and gas utilities shall each be considered a
separate industry.
 
(8) Invest in commodities or commodity futures contracts, although it may buy or
sell financial futures contracts and options on such contracts, and engage in
foreign currency transactions; or in real estate, although it may invest in
securities which are secured by real estate and securities of issuers which
invest or deal in real estate.

If a percentage restriction is adhered to at the time of investment, a later
increase or decrease in percentage beyond the specified limit resulting from a
change in values or net assets will not be considered a violation. The Fund did
not borrow money as permitted by investment restriction number 4 in the latest
fiscal year and it has no present intention of borrowing during the current
year. The Fund has adopted the following non-fundamental restrictions, which may
be changed by the Board of Trustees without shareholder approval. The Technology
Fund may not:
 
(i) Invest more than 5% of the Fund's total assets in securities of issuers
which with their predecessors have a record of less than three years continuous
operation and equity securities of issuers which are not readily marketable.
 
(ii) Purchase or retain the securities of any issuer if any of the officers,
trustees or directors of the Fund or its investment adviser owns beneficially
more than 1/2 of 1% of the securities of such issuer and together own more than
5% of the securities of such issuer.
 
(iii) Invest for the purpose of exercising control or management of another
issuer.
 
(iv) Invest in interests in oil, gas or other mineral exploration or development
programs, although it may invest in the securities of issuers which invest in or
sponsor such programs.
 
(v) Purchase securities of other investment companies, except in connection with
a merger, consolidation, reorganization or acquisition of assets unless
immediately thereafter not more than (i) 3% of the total outstanding voting
stock of such company would be owned by the Fund, (ii) 5% of the Fund's total
assets would be invested in any one such company, and (iii) 10% of the Fund's
total assets would be invested in such securities.
 
(vi) Invest more than 15% of its net assets in illiquid securities.

invested in warrants. Included within that amount, but not to exceed 2% of the
Fund's net assets, may be warrants not listed on the New York or American Stock
Exchanges. Warrants acquired in units or attached to securities may be deemed to
be without value for such purposes.
 
(viii) Invest in oil, gas, and other mineral leases.
 
(ix) Purchase or sell real property (including limited partnership interests but
excluding readily marketable interests in real estate investment trusts and
readily marketable securities of companies which invest in real estate).

(x) Invest more than 5% of its total assets in restricted securities, excluding
restricted securities eligible for resale pursuant to Rule 144A under the
Securities Act of 1933 that have been determined to be liquid pursuant to

THE TOTAL RETURN FUND MAY NOT, AS A FUNDAMENTAL POLICY:
 
(1) Purchase securities of any issuer (other than obligations of, or guaranteed
by, the United States Government, its agencies or instrumentalities) if, as a
result, more than 5% of the Fund's total assets would be invested in securities
of that issuer.
 
(2) Purchase more than 10% of any class of securities of any issuer. All debt
securities and all preferred stocks are each considered as one class.
 
(3) Lend money or securities, provided that the making of time or demand
deposits with banks and the purchase of debt securities such as bonds,
debentures, commercial paper, repurchase agreements and short-term obligations
in accordance with its objective and policies are not prohibited and the Fund
may lend its portfolio securities as described under "Investment Objectives and
Policies" in the prospectus.
 
(4) Borrow money except for temporary or emergency purposes (but not for the
purpose of purchase of investments) and then only in an amount not to exceed 5%
of the Fund's net assets; or pledge the Fund's securities or receivables or
transfer or assign or otherwise encumber them in an amount exceeding the amount
of the borrowings secured thereby.
 
(5) Make short sales of securities, or purchase any securities on margin except
to obtain such short-term credits as may be necessary for the clearance of
transactions; however, the Fund may make margin deposits in connection with
financial futures and options transactions.

nor may it purchase put or call options if more than 5% of the Fund's net assets
would be invested in premiums on put and call options, combinations thereof or
similar options; however, the Fund may buy or sell options on financial futures
contracts.

INVESTMENT POLICIES AND TECHNIQUES
 
GENERAL. Each Fund may engage in options transactions and may engage in
financial futures transactions in accordance with its respective investment
objectives and policies. The Blue Chip, Growth, Small Cap, Total Return and
Value+Growth Funds each may invest in put and call options but may not write
(sell) options. The Technology Fund may write (sell) covered call options and
secured put options and may purchase put and call options. Each such Fund
intends to engage in such transactions if it appears to the investment manager
to be advantageous to do so in order to pursue its investment objective and also
to hedge against the effects of market risks but not for speculative purposes.
The use of futures and options, and possible benefits and attendant risks, are
discussed below along with information concerning other investment policies and
techniques.
 
OPTIONS ON SECURITIES. The Technology Fund may write (sell) "covered" call
options on securities as long as it owns the underlying securities subject to
the option or an option to purchase the same underlying securities, having an
exercise price equal to or less than the exercise price of the "covered" option,
or will establish and maintain for the term of the option a segregated account
consisting of cash, U.S. Government securities or other liquid high-grade debt
obligations ("eligible securities") having a value at least equal to the
fluctuating market value of the optioned securities. The Technology Fund may
write "covered" put options provided that, as long as the Fund is obligated as a
writer of a put option, the Fund will own an option to sell the underlying
securities subject to the option, having an exercise price equal to or greater
than the exercise price of the "covered" option, or it will deposit and maintain
in a segregated account eligible securities having a value equal to or greater
than the exercise price of the option. A call option gives the purchaser the
right to buy, and the writer the obligation to sell, the underlying security at
the exercise price during the option period. A put option gives the purchaser
the right to sell, and the writer the obligation to buy, the underlying security
at the exercise price during the option period. The
 
                                       B-8
<PAGE>   60
 
premium received for writing an option will reflect, among other things, the
current market price of the underlying security, the relationship of the
exercise price to such market price, the price volatility of the underlying
security, the option period, supply and demand and interest rates. The Funds may
write (for the Technology Fund) or purchase spread options, which are options
for which the exercise price may be a fixed dollar spread or yield spread
between the security underlying the option and another security that is used as
a bench mark. The exercise price of an option may be below, equal to or above
the current market value of the underlying security at the time the option is
written. The buyer of a put who also owns the related security is protected by
ownership of a put option against any decline in that security's price below the
exercise price less the amount paid for the option. The ability to purchase put
options allows a Fund to protect capital gains in an appreciated security it
owns, without being required to actually sell that security. At times a Fund
would like to establish a position in a security upon which call options are
available. By purchasing a call option, a Fund is able to fix the cost of
acquiring the security, this being the cost of the call plus the exercise price
of the option. This procedure also provides some protection from an unexpected
downturn in the market, because a Fund is only at risk for the amount of the
premium paid for the call option which it can, if it chooses, permit to expire.
 
During the option period the covered call writer gives up the potential for
capital appreciation above the exercise price should the underlying security
rise in value, and the secured put writer retains the risk of loss should the
underlying security decline in value. For the covered call writer, substantial
appreciation in the value of the underlying security would result in the
security being "called away." For the secured put writer, substantial
depreciation in the value of the underlying security would result in the
security being "put to" the writer. If a covered call option expires
unexercised, the writer realizes a gain in the amount of the premium received.
If the covered call option writer has to sell the underlying security because of
the exercise of a call option, it realizes a gain or loss from the sale of the
underlying security, with the proceeds being increased by the amount of the
premium.
 
If a secured put option expires unexercised, the writer realizes a gain from the
amount of the premium, plus the interest income on the money market investment.
If the secured put writer has to buy the underlying security because of the
exercise of the put option, the secured put writer incurs an unrealized loss to
the extent that the current market value of the underlying security is less than
the exercise price of the put option. However, this would be offset in whole or
in part by gain from the premium received and any interest income earned on the
money market investment.
 
OVER-THE-COUNTER OPTIONS.  As indicated in the prospectus (see "Investment
Objectives and Policies"), the Funds may deal in over-the-counter traded options
("OTC options"). OTC options differ from exchange traded options in several
respects. They are transacted directly with dealers and not with a clearing
corporation, and there is a risk of nonperformance by the dealer as a result of
the insolvency of such dealer or otherwise, in which event a Fund may experience
material losses. However, in writing options the premium is paid in advance by
the dealer. OTC options are available for a greater variety of securities, and a
wider range of expiration dates and exercise prices, than are exchange traded
options. Since there is no exchange, pricing is normally done by reference to
information from market makers, which information is carefully monitored by the
investment manager and verified in appropriate cases.
 
A writer or purchaser of a put or call option can terminate it voluntarily only
by entering into a closing transaction. In the case of OTC options, there can be
no assurance that a continuous liquid secondary market will exist for any
particular option at any specific time. Consequently, a Fund may be able to
realize the value of an OTC option it has purchased only by exercising it or
entering into a closing sale transaction with the dealer that issued it.
Similarly, when a Fund writes an OTC option, it generally can close out that
option prior to its expiration only by entering into a closing purchase
transaction with the dealer to which the Fund originally wrote it. If a covered
call option writer cannot effect a closing transaction, it cannot sell the
underlying security until the option expires or the option is exercised.
Therefore, a covered call option writer of an OTC option may not be able to sell
an underlying security even though it might otherwise be advantageous to do so.
Likewise, a secured put writer of an OTC option may be unable to sell the
securities pledged to secure the put for other investment purposes while it is
obligated as a put
 
                                       B-9
<PAGE>   61
 
writer. Similarly, a purchaser of such put or call option might also find it
difficult to terminate its position on a timely basis in the absence of a
secondary market.
 
The Funds understand the position of the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission ("SEC") to be that purchased OTC options and the assets used as
"cover" for written OTC options are illiquid securities. The investment manager
disagrees with this position and has found the dealers with which it engages in
OTC options transactions generally agreeable to and capable of entering into
closing transactions. The Funds have adopted procedures for engaging in OTC
options for the purpose of reducing any potential adverse effect of such
transactions upon the liquidity of the Funds' portfolios. A brief description of
such procedures is set forth below.
 
A Fund will only engage in OTC options transactions with dealers that have been
specifically approved by the investment manager pursuant to procedures adopted
by the Fund's Board of Trustees. The investment manager believes that the
approved dealers should be able to enter into closing transactions if necessary
and, therefore, present minimal credit risks to a Fund. The investment manager
will monitor the credit-worthiness of the approved dealers on an ongoing basis.
A Fund currently will not engage in OTC options transactions if the amount
invested by the Fund in OTC options, plus (for the Technology Fund) a "liquidity
charge" related to OTC options written by the Fund, plus the amount invested by
the Fund in illiquid securities, would exceed 15% of the Fund's net assets. The
"liquidity charge" referred to above is computed as described below.
 
The Technology Fund anticipates entering into agreements with dealers to which
the Fund sells OTC options. Under these agreements the Fund would have the
absolute right to repurchase the OTC options from the dealer at any time at a
price no greater than a price established under the agreements (the "Repurchase
Price"). The "liquidity charge" referred to above for a specific OTC option
transaction will be the Repurchase Price related to the OTC option less the
intrinsic value of the OTC option. The intrinsic value of an OTC call option for
such purposes will be the amount by which the current market value of the
underlying security exceeds the exercise price. In the case of an OTC put
option, intrinsic value will be the amount by which the exercise price exceeds
the current market value of the underlying security. If there is no such
agreement requiring a dealer to allow the Fund to repurchase a specific OTC
option written by the Fund, the "liquidity charge" will be the current market
value of the assets serving as "cover" for such OTC option.
 
OPTIONS ON SECURITIES INDICES. The Blue Chip, Growth, Small Cap, Total Return
and Value+Growth Funds may purchase, and the Technology Fund may purchase and
write, call and put options on securities indices in an attempt to hedge against
market conditions affecting the value of securities that the Fund owns or
intends to purchase, and not for speculation. Through the writing or purchase of
index options, a Fund can achieve many of the same objectives as through the use
of options on individual securities. Options on securities indices are similar
to options on a security except that, rather than the right to take or make
delivery of a security at a specified price, an option on a securities index
gives the holder the right to receive, upon exercise of the option, an amount of
cash if the closing level of the securities index upon which the option is based
is greater than, in the case of a call, or less than, in the case of a put, the
exercise price of the option. This amount of cash is equal to such difference
between the closing price of the index and the exercise price of the option. The
writer of the option is obligated, in return for the premium received, to make
delivery of this amount. Unlike security options, all settlements are in cash
and gain or loss depends upon price movements in the market generally (or in a
particular industry or segment of the market), rather than upon price movements
in individual securities. Price movements in securities that the Fund owns or
intends to purchase will probably not correlate perfectly with movements in the
level of an index since the prices of such securities may be affected by
somewhat different factors and, therefore, the Fund bears the risk that a loss
on an index option would not be completely offset by movements in the price of
such securities.
 
When the Technology Fund writes an option on a securities index, it will
segregate, and mark-to-market, eligible securities equal in value to 100% of the
exercise price in the case of a put, or the contract value in the case of a
call. In addition, where the Fund writes a call option on a securities index at
a time when the contract value exceeds the exercise price, the Fund will
segregate and mark-to-market, until the option expires or is closed out, cash or
cash equivalents equal in value to such excess.
 
                                      B-10
<PAGE>   62
 
A Fund may also purchase and sell options on other appropriate indices, as
available, such as foreign currency indices. Options on futures contracts and
index options involve risks similar to those risks relating to transactions in
financial futures contracts described below. Also, an option purchased by a Fund
may expire worthless, in which case the Fund would lose the premium paid
therefor.
 
FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS. The Funds may enter into financial futures
contracts for the future delivery of a financial instrument, such as a security,
or an amount of foreign currency or the cash value of a securities index. This
investment technique is designed primarily to hedge (i.e., protect) against
anticipated future changes in market conditions or foreign exchange rates which
otherwise might affect adversely the value of securities or other assets which
the Fund holds or intends to purchase. A "sale" of a futures contract means the
undertaking of a contractual obligation to deliver the securities or the cash
value of an index or foreign currency called for by the contract at a specified
price during a specified delivery period. A "purchase" of a futures contract
means the undertaking of a contractual obligation to acquire the securities or
cash value of an index or foreign currency at a specified price during a
specified delivery period. At the time of delivery, in the case of fixed income
securities pursuant to the contract, adjustments are made to recognize
differences in value arising from the delivery of securities with a different
interest rate than that specified in the contract. In some cases, securities
called for by a futures contract may not have been issued at the time the
contract was written.
 
   
Although some futures contracts by their terms call for the actual delivery or
acquisition of securities or other assets, in most cases a party will close out
the contractual commitment before delivery without having to make or take
delivery of the underlying assets by purchasing (or selling, as the case may be)
on a commodities exchange an identical futures contract calling for delivery in
the same month. Such a transaction, if effected through a member of an exchange,
cancels the obligation to make or take delivery of the underlying securities or
other assets. All transactions in the futures market are made, offset or
fulfilled through a clearing house associated with the exchange on which the
contracts are traded. A Fund will incur brokerage fees when it purchases or
sells contracts, and will be required to maintain margin deposits. At the time a
Fund enters into a futures contract, it is required to deposit with its
custodian, on behalf of the broker, a specified amount of cash or eligible
securities, called "initial margin." The initial margin required for a futures
contract is set by the exchange on which the contract is traded. Subsequent
payments, called "variation margin," to and from the broker are made on a daily
basis as the market price of the futures contract fluctuates. The costs incurred
in connection with futures transactions could reduce a Fund's return. Futures
contracts entail risks. If the investment manager's judgment about the general
direction of markets or exchange rates is wrong, the overall performance may be
poorer than if no such contracts had been entered into.
    
 
There may be an imperfect correlation between movements in prices of futures
contracts and portfolio assets being hedged. In addition, the market prices of
futures contracts may be affected by certain factors. If participants in the
futures market elect to close out their contracts through offsetting
transactions rather than meet margin requirements, distortions in the normal
relationship between the assets and futures markets could result. Price
distortions could also result if investors in futures contracts decide to make
or take delivery of underlying securities or other assets rather than engage in
closing transactions because of the resultant reduction in the liquidity of the
futures market. In addition, because, from the point of view of speculators, the
margin requirements in the futures markets are less onerous than margin
requirements in the cash market, increased participation by speculators in the
futures market could cause temporary price distortions. Due to the possibility
of price distortions in the futures market and because of the imperfect
correlation between movements in the prices of securities or other assets and
movements in the prices of futures contracts, a correct forecast of market
trends by the investment manager may still not result in a successful hedging
transaction. If any of these events should occur, the Fund could lose money on
the financial futures contracts and also on the value of its portfolio assets.
 
OPTIONS ON FINANCIAL FUTURES CONTRACTS. A Fund may purchase and write call and
put options on financial futures contracts. An option on a futures contract
gives the purchaser the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a
position in a futures contract at a specified exercise price at any time during
the period of the option. Upon exercise, the writer of the option delivers the
futures contract to the holder at the exercise price. A Fund would be required
to deposit with its custodian initial margin and maintenance margin with respect
to put and
 
                                      B-11
<PAGE>   63
 
call options on futures contracts written by it. A Fund will establish
segregated accounts or will provide cover with respect to written options on
financial futures contracts in a manner similar to that described under "Options
on Securities." Options on futures contracts involve risks similar to those
risks relating to transactions in financial futures contracts described above.
Also, an option purchased by a Fund may expire worthless, in which case the Fund
would lose the premium paid therefor.
 
REGULATORY RESTRICTIONS. To the extent required to comply with SEC Release No.
IC-10666, when purchasing a futures contract, writing a put option or entering
into a forward currency exchange purchase, a Fund will maintain in a segregated
account cash, U.S. Government securities or liquid high-grade debt obligations
equal to the value of such contracts. A Fund will use cover in connection with
selling a futures contract.
 
A Fund will not engage in transactions in financial futures contracts or options
thereon for speculation, but only in an attempt to hedge against changes in
interest rates or market conditions affecting the value of securities which the
Fund holds or intends to purchase.
 
FOREIGN CURRENCY OPTIONS. The Funds may engage in foreign currency options
transactions. A foreign currency option provides the option buyer with the right
to buy or sell a stated amount of foreign currency at the exercise price at a
specified date or during the option period. A call option gives its owner the
right, but not the obligation, to buy the currency, while a put option gives its
owner the right, but not the obligation, to sell the currency. The option seller
(writer) is obligated to fulfill the terms of the option sold if it is
exercised. However, either seller or buyer may close its position during the
option period in the secondary market for such options any time prior to
expiration.
 
A call rises in value if the underlying currency appreciates. Conversely, a put
rises in value if the underlying currency depreciates. While purchasing a
foreign currency option can protect the Fund against an adverse movement in the
value of a foreign currency, it does not limit the gain which might result from
a favorable movement in the value of such currency. For example, if a Fund were
holding securities denominated in an appreciating foreign currency and had
purchased a foreign currency put to hedge against a decline in the value of the
currency, it would not have to exercise its put. Similarly, if the Fund had
entered into a contract to purchase a security denominated in a foreign currency
and had purchased a foreign currency call to hedge against a rise in value of
the currency but instead the currency had depreciated in value between the date
of purchase and the settlement date, the Fund would not have to exercise its
call but could acquire in the spot market the amount of foreign currency needed
for settlement.
 
FOREIGN CURRENCY FUTURES TRANSACTIONS. As part of their financial futures
transactions (see "Financial Futures Contracts" and "Options on Financial
Futures Contracts" above), the Funds may use foreign currency futures contracts
and options on such futures contracts. Through the purchase or sale of such
contracts, a Fund may be able to achieve many of the same objectives as through
forward foreign currency exchange contracts more effectively and possibly at a
lower cost.
 
Unlike forward foreign currency exchange contracts, foreign currency futures
contracts and options on foreign currency futures contracts are standardized as
to amount and delivery period and are traded on boards of trade and commodities
exchanges. It is anticipated that such contracts may provide greater liquidity
and lower cost than forward foreign currency exchange contracts.
 
FORWARD FOREIGN CURRENCY EXCHANGE CONTRACTS. A forward foreign currency exchange
contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a
future date, which may be any fixed number of days ("term") from the date of the
contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract.
These contracts are traded directly between currency traders (usually large
commercial banks) and their customers. The investment manager believes that it
is important to have the flexibility to enter into such forward contracts when
it determines that to do so is in the best interests of a Fund. A Fund will not
speculate in foreign currency exchange.
 
If a Fund retains the portfolio security and engages in an offsetting
transaction with respect to a forward contract, the Fund will incur a gain or a
loss (as described below) to the extent that there has been movement in forward
 
                                      B-12
<PAGE>   64
 
contract prices. If the Fund engages in an offsetting transaction, it may
subsequently enter into a new forward contract to sell the foreign currency.
Should forward prices decline during the period between a Fund's entering into a
forward contract for the sale of foreign currency and the date it enters into an
offsetting contract for the purchase of the foreign currency, the Fund would
realize a gain to the extent the price of the currency it has agreed to sell
exceeds the price of the currency it has agreed to purchase. Should forward
prices increase, the Fund would suffer a loss to the extent the price of the
currency it has agreed to purchase exceeds the price of the currency it has
agreed to sell. Although such contracts tend to minimize the risk of loss due to
a decline in the value of the hedged currency, they also tend to limit any
potential gain that might result should the value of such currency increase. A
Fund may have to convert its holdings of foreign currencies into U.S. Dollars
from time to time in order to meet such needs as Fund expenses and redemption
requests. Although foreign exchange dealers do not charge a fee for conversion,
they do realize a profit based on the difference (the "spread") between the
prices at which they are buying and selling various currencies.
 
A Fund will not enter into forward contracts or maintain a net exposure in such
contracts when the Fund would be obligated to deliver an amount of foreign
currency in excess of the value of the Fund's securities or other assets
denominated in that currency. A Fund segregates cash or liquid high-grade
securities in an amount not less than the value of the Fund's total assets
committed to forward foreign currency exchange contracts entered into for the
purchase of a foreign currency. If the value of the securities segregated
declines, additional cash or securities is added so that the segregated amount
is not less than the amount of the Fund's commitments with respect to such
contracts. A Fund generally does not enter into a forward contract with a term
longer than one year.
 
REPURCHASE AGREEMENTS. A Fund may invest in repurchase agreements, which are
instruments under which the Fund acquires ownership of a security from a
broker-dealer or bank that agrees to repurchase the security at a mutually
agreed upon time and price (which price is higher than the purchase price),
thereby determining the yield during the Fund's holding period. In the event of
a bankruptcy or other default of a seller of a repurchase agreement, the Fund
might incur expenses in enforcing its rights, and could experience losses,
including a decline in the value of the underlying securities and loss of
income. The securities underlying a repurchase agreement will be marked-to-
market every business day so that the value of such securities is at least equal
to the investment value of the repurchase agreement, including any accrued
interest thereon. No Fund currently intends to invest more than 5% of its net
assets in repurchase agreements during the current year.
 
SHORT SALES AGAINST-THE-BOX.  The Blue Chip Fund may make short sales
against-the-box for the purpose of deferring realization of gain or loss for
federal income tax purposes. A short sale "against-the-box" is a short sale in
which the Fund owns at least an equal amount of the securities sold short or
securities convertible into or exchangeable for, without payment of any further
consideration, securities of the same issue as, and at least equal in amount to,
the securities sold short. The Fund may engage in such short sales only to the
extent that not more than 10% of the Fund's total assets (determined at the time
of the short sale) is held as collateral for such sales. The Fund does not
currently intend, however, to engage in such short sales to the extent that more
than 5% of its net assets will be held as collateral therefor during the current
year.
 
OTHER CONSIDERATIONS--HIGH YIELD (HIGH RISK) BONDS. As reflected in the
prospectus, the Total Return Fund may invest a portion of its assets in fixed
income securities that are in the lower rating categories of recognized rating
agencies or are non-rated. These lower rated or non-rated fixed income
securities are considered, on balance, as predominantly speculative with respect
to capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of
the obligation and generally will involve more credit risk than securities in
the higher rating categories.
 
The market values of such securities tend to reflect individual corporate
developments to a greater extent than do those of higher rated securities, which
react primarily to fluctuations in the general level of interest rates. Such
lower rated securities also tend to be more sensitive to economic conditions
than are higher rated securities. Adverse publicity and investor perceptions,
whether or not based on fundamental analysis, regarding lower rated bonds may
depress the prices for such securities. These and other factors adversely
affecting the market value of high yield securities will adversely affect the
Fund's net asset value. Although some risk is inherent in all securities
ownership,
 
                                      B-13
<PAGE>   65
 
holders of fixed income securities have a claim on the assets of the issuer
prior to the holders of common stock. Therefore, an investment in fixed income
securities generally entails less risk than an investment in common stock of the
same issuer.
 
High yield securities frequently are issued by corporations in the growth stage
of their development. They may also be issued in connection with a corporate
reorganization or a corporate takeover. Companies that issue such high yielding
securities often are highly leveraged and may not have available to them more
traditional methods of financing. Therefore, the risk associated with acquiring
the securities of such issuers generally is greater than is the case with higher
rated securities. For example, during an economic downturn or recession, highly
leveraged issuers of high yield securities may experience financial stress.
During such periods, such issuers may not have sufficient revenues to meet their
interest payment obligations. The issuer's ability to service its debt
obligations may also be adversely affected by specific corporate developments,
or the issuer's inability to meet specific projected business forecasts, or the
unavailability of additional financing. The risk of loss from default by the
issuer is significantly greater for the holders of high yielding securities
because such securities are generally unsecured and are often subordinated to
other creditors of the issuer.
 
Zero coupon securities and pay-in-kind bonds involve additional special
considerations. Zero coupon securities are debt obligations that do not entitle
the holder to any periodic payments of interest prior to maturity or a specified
cash payment date when the securities begin paying current interest (the "cash
payment date") and therefore are issued and traded at a discount from their face
amount or par value. The market prices of zero coupon securities are generally
more volatile than the market prices of securities that pay interest
periodically and are likely to respond to changes in interest rates to a greater
degree than do securities paying interest currently with similar maturities and
credit quality. Zero coupon, pay-in-kind or deferred interest bonds carry
additional risk in that unlike bonds that pay interest throughout the period to
maturity, the Fund will realize no cash until the cash payment date unless a
portion of such securities is sold and, if the issuer defaults, the Fund may
obtain no return at all on its investment.
 
Additional information concerning high yield securities appears under
"Appendix--Ratings of Fixed Income Investments."
 
PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS
 
   
KFS is the investment manager for the Kemper Funds and KFS and its affiliates
also furnish investment management services to other clients including Kemper
Corporation and the Kemper insurance companies. KFS is the sole shareholder of
Kemper Asset Management Company and Kemper Investment Management Company
Limited. These three entities share some common research and trading facilities.
DVA is the investment manager for Kemper-Dreman Fund, Inc. and the sub-adviser
for the Value+Growth Fund. At times investment decisions may be made to purchase
or sell the same investment securities for a Fund and for one or more of the
other clients managed by KFS or DVA. When two or more of such clients are
simultaneously engaged in the purchase or sale of the same security through the
same trading facility, the transactions are allocated as to amount and price in
a manner considered equitable to each.
    
 
National securities exchanges have established limitations governing the maximum
number of options in each class which may be written by a single investor or
group of investors acting in concert. An exchange may order the liquidation of
positions found to be in violation of these limits, and it may impose certain
other sanctions. These position limits may restrict the number of options a Fund
will be able to write on a particular security.
 
The above mentioned factors may have a detrimental effect on the quantities or
prices of securities, options or futures contracts available to a Fund. On the
other hand, the ability of a Fund to participate in volume transactions may
produce better executions for a Fund in some cases. The Board of Trustees of
each Fund believes that the benefits of KFS's and DVA's organization outweigh
any limitations that may arise from simultaneous transactions or position
limitations.

KFS and DVA, in effecting purchases and sales of portfolio securities for the
account of a Fund, will implement each Fund's policy of seeking best execution
of orders, which includes best net prices, except to the extent that KFS and DVA
may be permitted to pay higher brokerage commissions for research services as
described below. Consistent with this policy, orders for portfolio transactions
are placed with broker-dealer firms giving consideration to the quality,
quantity and nature of each firm's professional services, which include
execution, clearance procedures, wire service quotations and statistical and
other research information provided to a Fund and KFS or DVA. Any research
benefits derived are available for all clients, including clients of affiliated
companies. Since it is only supplementary to KFS's and DVA's own research
efforts and must be analyzed and reviewed by KFS' and DVA's staff, the receipt
of research information is not expected to materially reduce expenses. In
selecting among firms believed to meet the criteria for handling a particular
transaction, KFS and DVA may give consideration to those firms that have sold or
are selling shares of the Funds and of other funds managed by KFS and DVA, as
well as to those firms that provide market, statistical and other research
information to a Fund and KFS and DVA, although neither KFS nor DVA is not
authorized to pay higher commissions or, in the case of principal trades, higher
prices to firms that provide such services, except as described below.
    
 
KFS and DVA may in certain instances be permitted to pay higher brokerage
commissions (not including principal trades) solely for receipt of market,
statistical and other research services. Subject to Section 28(e) of the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and procedures that may be adopted by the Board
of Trustees of each Fund, a Fund could pay a firm that provides research
services to KFS or DVA commissions for effecting a securities transaction for
the Fund in excess of the amount other firms would have charged for the
transaction if KFS or DVA determines in good faith that the greater commission
is reasonable in relation to the value of the research services provided by the
executing firm viewed in terms either of a particular transaction or KFS's or
DVA's overall responsibilities to the Fund or other clients. Not all of such
research services may be useful or of value in advising a particular Fund.
Research benefits will be available for all clients of KFS and its subsidiaries.
The investment management fee paid by a Fund to KFS is not reduced because KFS
or DVA receives these research services.
 
The table below shows total brokerage commissions paid by each Fund for the last
three fiscal years and for the most recent fiscal year, the percentage thereof
that was allocated to firms based upon research information provided or sales of
Kemper Fund shares (except for the Value+Growth Fund, which commenced operations
on                , 1995).

INVESTMENT MANAGER AND UNDERWRITER
 
INVESTMENT MANAGER. Kemper Financial Services, Inc. ("KFS"), 120 South LaSalle
Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603, is each Fund's investment manager. Pursuant to
investment management agreements, KFS acts as each Fund's investment adviser,
manages its investments, administers its business affairs, furnishes office
facilities and equipment, provides clerical, bookkeeping and administrative
services, and permits any of its officers or employees to serve without
compensation as trustees or officers of a Fund if elected to such positions.
Each investment management agreement provides that each Fund pays the charges
and expenses of its operations, including the fees and expenses of the trustees
(except those who are officers or employees of KFS), independent auditors,
counsel,
 
                                      B-15
<PAGE>   67
 
custodian and transfer agent and the cost of share certificates, reports and
notices to shareholders, brokerage commissions or transaction costs, costs of
calculating net asset value, taxes and membership dues. Each Fund bears the
expenses of registration of its shares with the Securities and Exchange
Commission, while Kemper Distributors, Inc. ("KDI"), as principal underwriter,
pays the cost of qualifying and maintaining the qualification of each Fund's
shares for sale under the securities laws of the various states. KFS has agreed
to reimburse each Fund to the extent required by applicable state expense
limitations should all operating expenses of each Fund, including the investment
management fees of KFS but excluding taxes, interest, distribution fees,
extraordinary expenses, brokerage commissions or transaction costs and any other
properly excludable expenses, exceed the applicable state expense limitations.
The Funds believe that the most restrictive state expense limitation currently
in effect would require that such operating expenses not exceed 2.5% of the
first $30 million of average daily net assets, 2% of the next $70 million and
1.5% of average daily net assets over $100 million. Under such state expense
limitation, custodian costs attributable to foreign securities that are in
excess of similar domestic custodian costs are excluded from operating expenses.
 
The investment management agreements provide that KFS shall not be liable for
any error of judgment or of law, or for any loss suffered by a Fund in
connection with the matters to which the agreements relate, except a loss
resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of
KFS in the performance of its obligations and duties, or by reason of its
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under each agreement.
 
   
Each Fund's investment management agreement continues in effect from year to
year so long as its continuation is approved at least annually (a) by a majority
of the trustees who are not parties to such agreement or interested persons of
any such party except in their capacity as trustees of the Fund and (b) by the
shareholders or the Board of Trustees of the Fund. The agreement for the
Value+Growth Fund has an initial term ending March 1, 1997. Each Fund's
investment management agreement may be terminated at any time upon 60 days
notice by either party, or by a majority vote of the outstanding shares of the
Fund, and will terminate automatically upon assignment. If additional Fund's
become subject to an investment management agreement, the provisions concerning
continuation, amendment and termination shall be on a Fund by Fund basis.
Additional Funds may be subject to a different agreement.
    
 
The current investment management fee rates paid by the Funds are in the
prospectus, see "Investment Manager and Underwriter." The investment management
fees paid by each Fund for its last three fiscal years are shown in the table
below (except for the Value+Growth Fund, which commenced operations on
               , 1995).

 + Fee was increased $499,000 from $3,247,000 base fee.
 
++ Fee was decreased from $2,392,000 base fee.
 
The Small Cap Fund pays a base annual investment management fee, payable
monthly, at the rate of .65 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Fund.
This base fee is subject to upward or downward adjustment on the basis of the
investment performance of the Class A shares of the Fund as compared with the
performance of the Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index (the "Index"). The Small
Cap Fund will pay an additional monthly fee at an annual rate of .05% of such
average daily net assets for each percentage point (fractions to be prorated) by
which the performance of the Class A shares of the Fund exceeds that of the
Index for the immediately preceding twelve months; provided that such additional
monthly fee shall not exceed 1/12 of .30% of the average daily net assets.
Conversely, the compensation payable by the Small Cap Fund will be reduced by an
annual rate of .05% of such average daily net assets for each percentage point
(fractions to be prorated) by which the performance of the Class A shares of the
 
                                      B-16
<PAGE>   68
 
Fund falls below that of the Index, provided that such reduction in the monthly
fee shall not exceed 1/12 of .30% of the average net assets. The total fee on an
annual basis can range from .35% to .95% of average daily net assets. The Small
Cap Fund's investment performance during any twelve month period is measured by
the percentage difference between (a) the opening net asset value of one Class A
share of the Fund and (b) the sum of the closing net asset value of one Class A
share of the Fund plus the value of any income and capital gain dividends on
such share during the period treated as if reinvested in Class A shares of the
Fund at the time of distribution. The performance of the Index is measured by
the percentage change in the Index between the beginning and the end of the
twelve month period with cash distributions on the securities which comprise the
Index being treated as reinvested in the Index at the end of each month
following the payment of the dividend. Each monthly calculation of the incentive
portion of the fee may be illustrated as follows: if over the preceding twelve
month period the Small Cap Fund's adjusted net asset value applicable to one
Class A share went from $10.00 to $11.00 (10% appreciation), and the Index,
after adjustment, went from 100 to 104 (or only 4%), the entire incentive
compensation would have been earned by KFS. On the other hand, if the Index rose
from 100 to 110 (10%), no incentive fee would have been payable. A rise in the
Index from 100 to 116 (16%) would have resulted in the minimum monthly fee of
1/12 of .35%. Since the computation is not cumulative from year to year, an
additional management fee may be payable with respect to a particular year,
although the Small Cap Fund's performance over some longer period of time may be
less favorable than that of the Index. Conversely, a lower management fee may be
payable in a year in which the performance of the Fund's Class A shares' is less
favorable than that of the Index, although the performance of the Fund's Class A
shares over a longer period of time might be better than that of the Index.
 
Prior to May 31, 1994, the Blue Chip Fund paid KFS an investment management fee,
payable monthly, at the annual rate of .65 of 1% of average daily net assets of
the Fund. Prior to May 31, 1994, the Growth Fund and the Total Return Fund each
paid KFS an investment management fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of
 .65 of 1% of the first $200 million of average daily net assets, .55 of 1% of
the next $300 million of average daily net assets and .45 of 1% of average daily
net assets over $500 million. Prior to May 31, 1994, the Technology Fund paid
KFS an investment management fee, payable monthly, at the annual rate of .60 of
1% of the first $200 million of average daily net assets, .50 of 1% of the next
$300 million of average daily net assets and .40 of 1% of average daily net
assets over $500 million.
 
   
VALUE+GROWTH FUND SUB-ADVISER. Dreman Value Advisors, Inc. ("DVA"), 10 Exchange
Place, Jersey City, New Jersey 07302, is the sub-adviser for the value portion
of the Value+Growth Fund. DVA is a wholly owned subsidiary of KFS. DVA will act
as sub-adviser pursuant to the terms of a Sub-Advisory Agreement between it and
KFS.
    
 
   
Under the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, DVA will manage the value portion
of the Value+Growth Fund's portfolio and will provide such investment advice,
research and assistance as KFS may, from time to time, reasonably request. DVA
may, under the terms of the Sub-Advisory Agreement, render similar services to
others including other investment companies. For its services, DVA will receive
from KFS a monthly fee at the annual rate of .25% of the Fund's average daily
net assets. DVA permits any of its officers or employees to serve without
compensation as trustees or officers of the Value+Growth Fund if elected to such
positions.
    
 
The Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that DVA will not be liable for any error of
judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection
with matters to which the Sub-Advisory Agreement relates, except a loss
resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on the part of
DVA in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by DVA of its
obligations and duties under the Sub-Advisory Agreement.
 
   
The Sub-Advisory Agreement has an initial term ending March 1, 1997 and
continues by its terms from year to year if such continuance is specifically
approved at least annually (a) by a majority of the trustees who are not parties
to such agreement or interested persons of any such party except in their
capacity as trustees of the Fund, and (b) by the shareholders or the Board of
Trustees of the Fund. The Sub-Advisory Agreement may be terminated at any time

upon 60 days' notice by either party or by majority vote of the outstanding
shares of the Fund, and will terminate automatically upon assignment.
 
PRINCIPAL UNDERWRITER. Pursuant to separate underwriting and distribution
services agreements ("distribution agreements"), Kemper Distributors, Inc.
("KDI"), a wholly owned subsidiary of KFS, is the principal underwriter and
distributor for the shares of each Fund and acts as agent of each Fund in the
continuous offering of its shares. KDI bears all its expenses of providing
services pursuant to the distribution agreements, including the payment of any
commissions. Each Fund pays the cost for the prospectus and shareholder reports
to be set in type and printed for existing shareholders, and KDI, as principal
underwriter, pays for the printing and distribution of copies thereof used in
connection with the offering of shares to prospective investors. KDI also pays
for supplementary sales literature and advertising costs. Before February 1,
1995, KFS was the principal underwriter and distributor.
 
Each distribution agreement continues in effect from year to year so long as
such continuance is approved for each class at least annually by a vote of the
Board of Trustees of the Fund, including the Trustees who are not interested
persons of the Fund and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the
agreement. Each agreement automatically terminates in the event of its
assignment and may be terminated for a class at any time without penalty by a
Fund or by KDI upon 60 days' notice. Termination by a Fund with respect to a
class may be by vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees, or a majority of
the Trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund and who have no direct
or indirect financial interest in the agreement, or a "majority of the
outstanding voting securities" of the class of the Fund, as defined under the
Investment Company Act of 1940. The agreement may not be amended for a class to
increase the fee to be paid by a Fund with respect to such class without
approval by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such class of the
Fund and all material amendments must in any event be approved by the Board of
Trustees in the manner described above with respect to the continuation of the
agreement. The provisions concerning the continuation, amendment and termination
of the distribution agreement are on a Fund by Fund basis and for each Fund on a
class by class basis.
 
CLASS A SHARES. The following information concerns the underwriting commissions
paid in connection with the distribution of each Fund's Class A shares for the

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES. Administrative services are provided to each Fund under
an administrative services agreement ("administrative agreement") with KDI. KDI
bears all its expenses of providing services pursuant to the administrative
agreement between KDI and each Fund, including the payment of service fees. Each
Fund pays KDI an administrative services fee, payable monthly, at an annual rate
of up to .25 of 1% of average daily net assets of each class of each Fund.
Before February 1, 1995, KFS was the administrator.
 
KDI has entered into related arrangements with various financial services firms,
such as broker-dealers or banks ("firms"), that provide services and facilities
for their customers or clients who are shareholders of a Fund. The firms provide
such office space and equipment, telephone facilities and personnel as is
necessary or beneficial for providing information and services to their clients.
Such services and assistance may include, but are not limited to, establishing
and maintaining shareholder accounts and records, processing purchase and
redemption transactions, answering routine inquiries regarding the Fund,
assistance to clients in changing dividend and investment options, account
designations and addresses and such other services as may be agreed upon from
time to time and permitted by applicable statute, rule or regulation. KDI pays
each firm a service fee, payable quarterly, at an annual rate of up to .25 of 1%
of the net assets in Fund accounts that it maintains and services attributable
to Class A, Class B and Class C shares, respectively, in each case commencing
with the month after investment (month of investment for Class C shares);
provided, however, KDI may advance the first year service fee as described in
the prospectus under "Investment Manager and Underwriter." Firms to which
service fees may be paid include broker-dealers affiliated with KDI.

KDI also may provide some of the above services and may retain any portion of
the fee under the administrative agreement not paid to firms to compensate
itself for administrative functions performed for a Fund. Currently, the
administrative services fee payable to KDI is based only upon Fund assets in
accounts for which there is a firm listed on the Fund's records and it is
intended that KDI will pay all the administrative services fee that it receives
from a Fund to firms in the form of service fees. The effective administrative
services fee rate to be charged against all assets of a Fund while this
procedure is in effect will depend upon the proportion of Fund assets that is in
accounts for which there is a firm of record. The Board of Trustees of a Fund,
in its discretion, may approve basing the fee to KDI on all Fund assets in the
future.
 
Certain trustees or officers of a Fund are also directors or officers of KFS or
KDI as indicated under "Officers and Trustees."

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS AND REPORTS TO SHAREHOLDERS. The Funds' independent
auditors, Ernst & Young LLP, 233 South Wacker Drive, Chicago, Illinois 60606,
audit and report on the Funds' annual financial statements, review certain
regulatory reports and the Funds' federal income tax returns, and perform other
professional accounting, auditing, tax and advisory services when engaged to do
so by the Funds. Shareholders will receive annual audited financial statements
and semi-annual unaudited financial statements.
 
PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES
 
As described in the Funds' prospectus, shares of a Fund are sold at their public
offering price, which is the net asset value per share of the Fund next
determined after an order is received in proper form plus, with respect to Class
A shares, an initial sales charge. The minimum initial investment is $1,000 and
the minimum subsequent investment is $100 but such minimum amounts may be
changed at any time. See the prospectus for certain exceptions to these
minimums. An order for the purchase of shares that is accompanied by a check
drawn on a foreign bank (other than a check drawn on a Canadian bank in U.S.
Dollars) will not be considered in proper form and will not be processed unless
and until the Fund determines that it has received payment of the proceeds of
the check. The time required for such a determination will vary and cannot be
determined in advance.
 
Upon receipt by the Shareholder Service Agent of a request for redemption,
shares of a Fund will be redeemed by the Fund at the applicable net asset value
per share of such Fund as described in the Funds' prospectus. The redemption
within one year of Class A shares purchased at net asset value under the Large
Order NAV Purchase Privilege described in the prospectus may be subject to a 1%
contingent deferred sales charge (see "Purchase of Shares" in the prospectus).
Redemption of Class B shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales
charge. When a Fund is asked to redeem shares for which it may not yet have
received good payment, it may delay the mailing of a redemption check until it
has determined that collected funds have been received for the purchase of such
shares, which will be up to 15 days.
 
Scheduled variations in or the elimination of the initial sales charge for
purchases of Class A shares or the contingent deferred sales charge for
redemptions of Class B shares by certain classes of persons or through certain
types of transactions as described in the prospectus is provided because of
anticipated economies in sales and sales related efforts.
 
A Fund may suspend the right of redemption or delay payment more than seven days
(a) during any period when the New York Stock Exchange (the "Exchange") is
closed other than customary weekend and holiday closings or during any period in
which trading on the Exchange is restricted, (b) during any period when an
emergency exists as a result of which (i) disposal of a Fund's investments is
not reasonably practicable, or (ii) it is not reasonably practicable for the
Fund to determine the value of its net assets, or (c) for such other periods as
the Securities and Exchange Commission may by order permit for the protection of
a Fund's shareholders.
 
The conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares may be subject to the
continuing availability of an opinion of counsel, ruling by the Internal Revenue
Service or other assurance acceptable to each Fund to the effect that (a) the
 
                                      B-21
<PAGE>   73
 
assessment of the distribution services fee with respect to Class B shares and
not Class A shares does not result in the Fund's dividends constituting
"preferential dividends" under the Internal Revenue Code, and (b) that the
conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares does not constitute a taxable
event under the Internal Revenue Code. The conversion of Class B shares to Class
A shares may be suspended if such assurance is not available. In that event, no
further conversions of Class B shares would occur, and shares might continue to
be subject to the distribution services fee for an indefinite period that may
extend beyond the proposed conversion date as described in the prospectus.
 
DIVIDENDS AND TAXES
 
DIVIDENDS. Each Fund normally distributes dividends of net investment income as
follows: annually for the Growth, Small Cap, Technology and Value+Growth Funds;
semi-annually for the Blue Chip Fund; and quarterly for the Total Return Fund.
Each Fund distributes any net realized short-term and long-term capital gains at
least annually. The quarterly distribution to shareholders of the Total Return
Fund may include short-term capital gains.
 
A Fund may at any time vary its foregoing dividend practices and, therefore,
reserves the right from time to time to either distribute or retain for
reinvestment such of its net investment income and its net short-term and
long-term capital gains as the Board of Trustees of the Fund determines
appropriate under the then current circumstances. In particular, and without
limiting the foregoing, a Fund may make additional distributions of net
investment income or capital gain net income in order to satisfy the minimum
distribution requirements contained in the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").
Dividends will be reinvested in shares of the Fund paying such dividends unless
shareholders indicate in writing that they wish to receive them in cash or in
shares of other Kemper Funds as described in the prospectus.
 
The level of income dividends per share (as a percentage of net asset value)
will be lower for Class B and Class C shares than for Class A shares primarily
as a result of the distribution services fee applicable to Class B and Class C
shares. Distributions of capital gains, if any, will be paid in the same amount
for each class.
 
TAXES. Each Fund intends to continue to qualify (or for the Value+Growth Fund,
intends to qualify) as a regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the
Code and, if so qualified, will not be liable for federal income taxes to the
extent its earnings are distributed. One of the Subchapter M requirements to be
satisfied is that less than 30% of a Fund's gross income during its fiscal year
must be derived from gains (not reduced by losses) from the sale or other
disposition of securities and certain other investments held for less than three
months. A Fund may be limited in its options, futures and foreign currency
transactions in order to prevent recognition of such gains.
 
A Fund's options, futures and foreign currency transactions are subject to
special tax provisions that may accelerate or defer recognition of certain gains
or losses, change the character of certain gains or losses, or alter the holding
periods of certain of the Fund's securities.
 
The mark-to-market rules of the Code may require a Fund to recognize unrealized
gains and losses on certain options and futures held by the Fund at the end of
the fiscal year. Under these provisions, 60% of any capital gain net income or
loss recognized will generally be treated as long-term and 40% as short-term.
However, although certain forward contracts and futures contracts on foreign
currency are marked-to-market, the gain or loss is generally ordinary under
Section 988 of the Code. In addition, the straddle rules of the Code would
require deferral of certain losses realized on positions of a straddle to the
extent that the Fund had unrealized gains in offsetting positions at year end.
 
Gains and losses attributable to fluctuations in the value of foreign currencies
will be characterized generally as ordinary gain or loss under Section 988 of
the Code. For example, if a Fund sold a foreign bond and part of the gain or
loss on the sale was attributable to an increase or decrease in the value of a
foreign currency, then the currency gain or loss may be treated as ordinary
income or loss. If such transactions result in greater net ordinary income, the
dividends paid by the Fund will be increased; if the result of such transactions
is lower net ordinary income, a portion of dividends paid could be classified as
a return of capital.
 
                                      B-22
<PAGE>   74
 
A 4% excise tax is imposed on the excess of the required distribution for a
calendar year over the distributed amount for such calendar year. The required
distribution is the sum of 98% of a Fund's net investment income for the
calendar year plus 98% of its capital gain net income for the one-year period
ending October 31, plus any undistributed net investment income from the prior
calendar year, plus any undistributed capital gain net income from the one year
period ended October 31 of the prior calendar year, minus any overdistribution
in the prior calendar year. For purposes of calculating the required
distribution, foreign currency gains or losses occurring after October 31 are
taken into account in the following calendar year. Each Fund intends to declare
or distribute dividends during the appropriate periods of an amount sufficient
to prevent imposition of the 4% excise tax.
 
A shareholder who redeems shares of a Fund will recognize capital gain or loss
for federal income tax purposes measured by the difference between the value of
the shares redeemed and the adjusted cost basis of the shares. Any loss
recognized on the redemption of Fund shares held six months or less will be
treated as long-term capital loss to the extent that the shareholder has
received any long-term capital gain dividends on such shares. A shareholder who
has redeemed shares of a Fund or other Kemper Mutual Fund listed in the
prospectus under "Special Features--Class A Shares--Combined Purchases" may
reinvest the amount redeemed at net asset value at the time of the reinvestment
in shares of any Fund or in shares of a Kemper Mutual Fund within six months of
the redemption as described in the prospectus under "Redemption or Repurchase of
Shares--Reinvestment Privilege." If a shareholder realized a loss on the
redemption or exchange of a Fund's shares and reinvests in shares of the same
Fund 30 days before or after the redemption or exchange, the transactions may be
subject to the wash sale rules resulting in a postponement of the recognition of
such loss for federal income tax purposes. An exchange of a Fund's shares for
shares of another fund is treated as a redemption and reinvestment for federal
income tax purposes upon which gain or loss may be recognized.
 
A Fund's investment income derived from foreign securities may be subject to
foreign income taxes withheld at the source. Because the amount of a Fund's
investments in various countries will change from time to time, it is not
possible to determine the effective rate of such taxes in advance.
 
Shareholders who are non-resident aliens are subject to U.S. withholding tax on
ordinary income dividends (whether received in cash or shares) at a rate of 30%
or such lower rate as prescribed by any applicable tax treaty.
 
PERFORMANCE
 
As described in the prospectus, each Fund's historical performance or return for
a class of shares may be shown in the form of "average annual total return" and
"total return" figures. These various measures of performance are described
below. Performance information will be computed separately for each class.
 
   
Each Fund's average annual total return quotation is computed in accordance with
a standardized method prescribed by rules of the Securities and Exchange
Commission. The average annual total return for a Fund for a specific period is
found by first taking a hypothetical $1,000 investment ("initial investment") in
the Fund's shares on the first day of the period, adjusting to deduct the
maximum sales charge (in the case of Class A shares), and computing the
"redeemable value" of that investment at the end of the period. The redeemable
value in the case of Class B shares includes the effect of the applicable
contingent deferred sales charge that may be imposed at the end of the period.
The redeemable value is then divided by the initial investment, and this
quotient is taken to the Nth root (N representing the number of years in the
period) and 1 is subtracted from the result, which is then expressed as a
percentage. The calculation assumes that all income and capital gains dividends
paid by the Fund have been reinvested at net asset value on the reinvestment
dates during the period. Average annual total return may also be calculated
without deducting the maximum sales charge.
    
 
Calculation of a Fund's total return is not subject to a standardized formula,
except when calculated for purposes of the Fund's "Financial Highlights" table
in the Fund's financial statements. Total return performance for a specific
period is calculated by first taking an investment (assumed below to be $10,000)
("initial investment") in a Fund's shares on the first day of the period, either
adjusting or not adjusting to deduct the maximum sales charge (in the
 
                                      B-23
<PAGE>   75
 
case of Class A shares), and computing the "ending value" of that investment at
the end of the period. The total return percentage is then determined by
subtracting the initial investment from the ending value and dividing the
remainder by the initial investment and expressing the result as a percentage.
The ending value in the case of Class B shares may or may not include the effect
of the applicable contingent deferred sales charge that may be imposed at the
end of the period. The calculation assumes that all income and capital gains
dividends paid by the Fund have been reinvested at net asset value on the
reinvestment dates during the period. Total return may also be shown as the
increased dollar value of the hypothetical investment over the period. Total
return calculations that do not include the effect of the sales charge for Class
A shares or the contingent deferred sales charge for Class B shares would be
reduced if such charge were included. Total return figures for Class A shares
for various periods are set forth in the tables below.
 
   
A Fund's performance figures are based upon historical results and are not
representative of future performance. Each Fund's Class A shares are sold at net
asset value plus a maximum sales charge of 5.75% of the offering price. Class B
shares and Class C shares are sold at net asset value. Redemptions of Class B
shares may be subject to a contingent deferred sales charge that is 4% in the
first year following the purchase, declines by a specified percentage each year
thereafter and becomes zero after six years. Returns and net asset value will
fluctuate. Factors affecting each Fund's performance include general market
conditions, operating expenses and investment management. Any additional fees
charged by a dealer or other financial services firm would reduce the returns
described in this section. Shares of each Fund are redeemable at the then
current net asset value, which may be more or less than original cost.
    
 
   
The figures below show performance information for various periods. Comparative
information for certain indices is also included. Please note the differences
and similarities between the investments which a Fund may purchase and the
investments measured by the applicable indices. The net asset values and returns
of each class of shares of the Funds will also fluctuate. No adjustment has been
made for taxes payable on dividends. The periods indicated were ones of
fluctuating securities prices and interest rates. As indicated previously, the
Value+Growth Fund commenced operations on             , 1995.

initial or contingent deferred sales charge.

the U.S. Government or any agency thereof, quasi-federal corporation, or
corporate debt guaranteed by the U.S. Government and all publicly issued,
fixed-rate, non-convertible, domestic debt of the three major corporate
classifications: industrial, utility, and financial. Only notes and bonds with a
minimum outstanding principal amount of $1,000,000 and a minimum of one year to
maturity are included. Bonds included must have a rating of at least Baa by
Moody's Investors Service, Inc., BBB by Standard & Poor's Corporation or in the
case of bank bonds not rated by either Moody's or S&P, BBB by Fitch Investors
Service. This index is unmanaged. Source is CDA Investment Technologies, Inc.,
Silver Spring, Maryland.
 
Investors may want to compare the performance of a Fund to certificates of
deposit issued by banks and other depository institutions. Certificates of
deposit may offer fixed or variable interest rates and principal is guaranteed
and may be insured. Withdrawal of deposits prior to maturity will normally be
subject to a penalty. Rates offered by banks and other depository institutions
are subject to change at any time specified by the issuing institution.
Information regarding bank products may be based upon, among other things, the
BANK RATE MONITOR National IndexTM for certificates of deposit, which is an
unmanaged index and is based on stated rates and the annual effective yields of
certificates of deposit in the ten largest banking markets in the United States,
or the CDA Investment Technologies, Inc. Certificate of Deposit Index, which is
an unmanaged index based on the average monthly yields of certificates of
deposit.
 
Investors also may want to compare the performance of a Fund to that of U.S.
Treasury bills, notes or bonds. Treasury obligations are issued in selected
denominations. Rates of Treasury obligations are fixed at the time of issuance
and payment of principal and interest is backed by the full faith and credit of
the U.S. Treasury. The market value of such instruments will generally fluctuate
inversely with interest rates prior to maturity and will equal par value at
maturity. Information regarding the performance of Treasury obligations may be
based upon, among other things, the Towers Data Systems U.S. Treasury Bill
index, which is an unmanaged index based on the average monthly yield of
treasury bills maturing in six months. Due to their short maturities, Treasury
bills generally experience very low market value volatility.
 
Investors may want to compare the performance of a Fund, such as the Total
Return Fund, to the performance of a hypothetical portfolio weighted 60% in the
Standard & Poor's 500 Stock Index (an unmanaged index generally representative
of the U.S. stock market) and 40% in the Lehman Brothers Government/Corporate
Bond Index (an unmanaged index generally representative of intermediate and
long-term government and investment grade corporate debt securities). See the
footnotes above for a more complete description of these indexes. The Total
Return Fund may invest in both equity and fixed income securities. The
percentage of assets invested in each type of security will vary from time to
time in the discretion of the Fund's investment manager and will not necessarily
approximate the 60%/40% weighting of this hypothetical index.
 
Investors may want to compare the performance of a Fund to that of money market
funds. Money market funds seek to maintain a stable net asset value and yield
fluctuates. Information regarding the performance of money market funds may be
based upon, among other things, IBC/Donoghue's Money Fund Averages(R) (All
Taxable). As reported by IBC/Donoghue's, all investment results represent total
return (annualized results for the period net of management fees and expenses)
and one year investment results are effective annual yields assuming
reinvestment of dividends.

SHAREHOLDER RIGHTS
 
The Funds generally are not required to hold meetings of their shareholders.
Under the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of each Fund ("Declaration of
Trust"), however, shareholder meetings will be held in connection with the
following matters: (a) the election or removal of trustees if a meeting is
called for such purpose; (b) the adoption of any contract for which shareholder
approval is required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"); (c) any
termination of the Fund or a class to the extent and as provided in the
Declaration of Trust; (d) any amendment of the Declaration of Trust (other than
amendments changing the name of the Fund, supplying any omission, curing any
ambiguity or curing, correcting or supplementing any defective or inconsistent
provision thereof); and (e) such additional matters as may be required by law,
the Declaration of Trust, the By-laws of the Fund, or any registration of the
Fund with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any state, or as the
trustees may consider necessary or desirable. The shareholders also would vote
upon changes in fundamental investment objectives, policies or restrictions.
 
Each trustee serves until the next meeting of shareholders, if any, called for
the purpose of electing trustees and until the election and qualification of a
successor or until such trustee sooner dies, resigns, retires or is removed by a
majority vote of the shares entitled to vote (as described below) or a majority
of the trustees. In accordance with the 1940 Act (a) each Fund will hold a
shareholder meeting for the election of trustees at such time as less than a
majority of the trustees have been elected by shareholders, and (b) if, as a
result of a vacancy in the Board of Trustees, less than two-thirds of the
trustees have been elected by the shareholders, that vacancy will be filled only
by a vote of the shareholders.
 
Trustees may be removed from office by a vote of the holders of a majority of
the outstanding shares at a meeting called for that purpose, which meeting shall
be held upon the written request of the holders of not less than 10% of the
outstanding shares. Upon the written request of ten or more shareholders who
have been such for at least six months and who hold shares constituting at least
1% of the outstanding shares of a Fund stating that such shareholders wish to
communicate with the other shareholders for the purpose of obtaining the
signatures necessary to demand a meeting to consider removal of a trustee, each
Fund has undertaken to disseminate appropriate materials at the expense of the
requesting shareholders.
 
Each Fund's Declaration of Trust provides that the presence at a shareholder
meeting in person or by proxy of at least 30% of the shares entitled to vote on
a matter shall constitute a quorum. Thus, a meeting of shareholders of a Fund
could take place even if less than a majority of the shareholders were
represented on its scheduled date. Shareholders would in such a case be
permitted to take action which does not require a larger vote than a majority of
a quorum, such as the election of trustees and ratification of the selection of
auditors. Some matters requiring a larger vote under the Declaration of Trust,
such as termination or reorganization of a Fund and certain amendments of the
Declaration of Trust, would not be affected by this provision; nor would matters
which under the 1940 Act require the vote of a "majority of the outstanding
voting securities" as defined in the 1940 Act.
 
Each Fund's Declaration of Trust specifically authorizes the Board of Trustees
to terminate the Fund or any Portfolio or class by notice to the shareholders
without shareholder approval.
 
Under Massachusetts law, shareholders of a Massachusetts business trust could,
under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for obligations of a
Fund. The Declaration of Trust, however, disclaims shareholder liability for
acts or obligations of each Fund and requires that notice of such disclaimer be
given in each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by a
Fund or the Fund's trustees. Moreover, the Declaration of Trust provides for
indemnification out of Fund property for all losses and expenses of any
shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of a Fund and each Fund
will be covered by insurance which the trustees consider adequate to cover
foreseeable tort claims. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial
loss on account of shareholder liability is considered by KFS remote and not
material, since it is limited to circumstances in which a disclaimer is
inoperative and such Fund itself is unable to meet its obligations.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
 
The Board of Trustees and Shareholder
Kemper Value+Growth Fund
 
   
We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Kemper Value Plus
Growth Fund (doing business as Kemper Value+Growth Fund) as of September 20,
1995. This statement of net assets is the responsibility of the Trust's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this statement of net
assets based on our audit.
    
 
We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards.
Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable
assurance about whether the statement of net assets is free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the statement of net assets. An audit also
includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made
by management, as well as evaluating the overall statement of net assets
presentation. We believe that our audit of the statement of net assets provides
a reasonable basis for our opinion.
 
   
In our opinion, the statement of net assets referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Kemper Value+Growth Fund at
September 20, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

APPENDIX--RATINGS OF FIXED INCOME INVESTMENTS
 
                   STANDARD & POOR'S CORPORATION BOND RATINGS
 
AAA. Debt rated AAA has the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor's.
Capacity to pay interest and repay principal is extremely strong.
 
AA. Debt rated AA has a very strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
and differs from the higher rated issues only in small degree.
 
A. Debt rated A has a strong capacity to pay interest and repay principal
although it is somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in
circumstances and economic conditions than debt in higher rated categories.
 
BBB. Debt rated BBB is regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay interest
and repay principal. Whereas it normally exhibits adequate protection
parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more
likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay interest and repay principal for
debt in this category than in higher rated categories.
 
BB, B, CCC, CC, C. Debt rated BB, B, CCC, CC and C is regarded, on balance, as
predominantly speculative with respect to capacity to pay interest and repay
principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation. BB indicates the
lowest degree of speculation and C the highest degree of speculation. While such
debt will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these are
outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse conditions.
 
CI. The rating CI is reserved for income bonds on which no interest is being
paid.
 
D. Debt rated D is in default, and payment of interest and/or repayment of
principal is in arrears.
 
                  MOODY'S INVESTORS SERVICE, INC. BOND RATINGS
 
AAA. Bonds which are rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry
the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as
"gilt-edge." Interest payments are protected by a large or by an exceptionally
stable margin and principal is secure. While the various protective elements are
likely to change, such changes as can be visualized are most unlikely to impair
the fundamentally strong position of such issues.
 
AA. Bonds which are rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards.
Together with the Aaa group they comprise what are generally known as high grade
bonds. They are rated lower than the best bonds because margins of protection
may not be as large as in Aaa securities or fluctuation of protective elements
may be of greater amplitude or there may be other elements present which make
the long term risks appear somewhat larger than in Aaa securities.
 
A. Bonds which are rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are
to be considered as upper medium grade obligations. Factors giving security to
principal and interest are considered adequate but elements may be present which
suggest a susceptibility to impairment sometime in the future.
 
BAA. Bonds which are rated Baa are considered as medium grade obligations, i.e.,
they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and
principal security appear adequate for the present but certain protective
elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great
length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in
fact have speculative characteristics as well.
 
BA. Bonds which are rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements; their
future cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of interest
and principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded
during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position
characterizes bonds in this class.
 
                                      B-42
<PAGE>   94
 
B. Bonds which are rated B generally lack characteristics of the desirable
investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of
other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.
 
CAA. Bonds which are rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be in
default or there may be present elements of danger with respect to principal or
interest.
 
CA. Bonds which are rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative in a
high degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked shortcomings.
 
C. Bonds which are rated C are the lowest rated class of bonds and issues so
rated can be regarded as having extremely poor prospects of ever attaining any
real investment standing.

ITEM 27. INDEMNIFICATION
 
     Article VIII of the Registrant's Agreement and Declaration of Trust
(Exhibit 1 hereto, which is incorporated herein by reference) provides in effect
that the Registrant will indemnify its officers and trustees under certain
circumstances. However, in accordance with Section 17(h) and 17(i) of the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and its own terms, said Article of the Agreement
and Declaration of Trust does not protect any person against any liability to
the Registrant or its shareholders to which he would otherwise be subject by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office.
 
     Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act
of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers, and controlling persons of the
Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that, in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission,
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is,
therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against
such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred
or paid by a trustee, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the
successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such
trustee, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being
registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter
has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate
jurisdiction the questions whether such indemnification by it is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of
such issue.

                     Section 5.  Resignations and Removals

Any Trustee may resign his trust or retire as a Trustee in
accordance with procedures set forth in the Declaration of Trust.
Any officer or advisory board member may resign at any time by
delivering his or her resignation in writing to the Chairman of
the Board, the President or the Secretary or to a meeting of the
Trustees.  The Trustees may remove any officer or advisory board
member elected or appointed by them with or without cause by the
vote of a majority of the Trustees then in office.  Except to the
extent expressly provided in a written agreement with the Trust,
no Trustee, officer, or advisory board member resigning, and no
officer or advisory board member removed, shall have any right to
any compensation for any period following his or her resignation
or removal, or any right to damages on account of such removal.

                             Section 6.  Vacancies

with the Declaration of Trust.  Vacancies resulting from the

filled by the Trustees.  Each successor of any such officer shall
hold office for the unexpired term, and in the case of the
President, the Treasurer and the Secretary, until his or her
successor is chosen and qualified, or in each case until he or
she sooner dies, resigns, is removed or becomes disqualified.

                   Section 7.  Shares of Beneficial Interest

7.1     Share Certificates.  No certificates certifying the
ownership of shares shall be issued except as the Trustees may
otherwise authorize.  In the event that the Trustees authorize
the issuance of share certificates, subject to the provisions of
Section 7.3, each shareholder shall be entitled to a certificate
stating the number of shares owned by him or her, in such form as
shall be prescribed from time to time by the Trustees.  Such
certificate shall be signed by the President or a Vice President

                                       5
<PAGE>   6


and by the Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer, Secretary or Assistant
Secretary.  Such signatures may be facsimiles if the certificate
is signed by a transfer or shareholder services agent or by a
registrar, other than a Trustee, officer or employee of the
Trust.  In case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile
signature has been placed on such certificate shall have ceased
to be such officer before such certificate is issued, it may be
issued by the Trust with the same effect as if he or she were
such officer at the time of its issue.

In lieu of issuing certificates for shares, the Trustees or the
transfer or shareholder services agent may either issue receipts
therefor or may keep accounts upon the books of the Trust for the
record holders of such shares, who shall in either case be
deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be the holders of
certificates for such shares as if they had accepted such
certificates and shall be held to have expressly assented and
agreed to the terms hereof.

7.2     Loss of Certificates.  In the case of the alleged loss or
destruction or the mutilation of a share certificate, a duplicate
certificate may be issued in place thereof, upon such terms as
the Trustees may prescribe.

7.3     Discontinuance of Issuance of Certificates.  The Trustees
may at any time discontinue the issuance of share certificates
and may, by written notice to each shareholder, require the
surrender of share certificates to the Trust for cancellation.
Such surrender and cancellation shall not affect the ownership of
shares in the Trust.


                            Section 8.  Record Date

The Trustees may fix in advance a time, which shall not be more
than 90 days before the date of any meeting of shareholders or
the date for the payment of any dividend or making of any other
distribution to shareholders, as the record date for determining
the shareholders having the right to notice and to vote at such
meeting and any adjournment thereof or the right to receive such
dividend or distribution, and in such case only shareholders of
record on such record date shall have such right, notwithstanding
any transfer of shares on the books of the Trust after the record
date.


                                Section 9.  Seal

The seal of the Trust shall, subject to alteration by the
Trustees, consist of a flat-faced circular die with the word
"Massachusetts" together with the name of the Trust, cut or

                                       6
<PAGE>   7


engraved thereon; but, unless otherwise required by the Trustees,
the seal shall not be necessary to be placed on, and its absence
shall not impair the validity of, any document, instrument, or
other paper executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Trust.


                        Section 10.  Execution of Papers

Except as the Trustees may generally or in particular cases
authorize the execution thereof in some other manner, all deeds,
leases, transfers, contracts, bonds, notes, checks, drafts and
other obligations made, accepted or endorsed by the Trust shall
be signed, and any transfers of securities standing in the name
of the Trust shall be executed, by the President or by one of the
Vice Presidents or by the Treasurer or by whomsoever else shall
be designated for that purpose by the vote of the Trustees and
need not bear the seal of the Trust.


                            Section 11.  Fiscal Year

The fiscal year of the Trust shall end on such date in each year
as the Trustees shall from time to time determine.


                            Section 12.  Amendments

These By-Laws may be amended or repealed, in whole or in part, by
a majority of the Trustees then in office at any meeting of the
Trustees, or by one or more writings signed by such majority.

         thereto, copies of which are on file with the Secretary of The
         Commonwealth of Massachusetts. The said owner by accepting this
         certificate agrees to and is bound by all of the said provisions.  The
         shares represented hereby are transferable in writing by the owner
         thereof in person or by attorney upon surrender of this certificate to
         the Fund properly endorsed for transfer.  This certificate is executed
         on behalf of the Trustees of the Fund as Trustees and not individually
         and the obligations hereof are not binding upon any of the Trustees,
         officers or shareholders individually but are binding only upon the
         assets and property of the Fund or, if applicable, the specified
         series of the Fund.  The shares may be subject to a contingent
         deferred sales charge.  This certificate is not valid unless
         countersigned by the Transfer Agent.

                        WRITTEN INSTRUMENT ESTABLISHING
                   AND DESIGNATING SEPARATE CLASSES OF SHARES


                The  undersigned  constitute all the Trustees  of Kemper Value 
         Plus Growth  Fund  (the  "Fund"),  a  Massachusetts business   trust 
         governed by  an Agreement  and   Declaration of Trust dated  June 14,
         1995 (the  "Declaration of Trust").    This instrument is  executed
         pursuant  to Section 1 of  Article III of the  Declaration of  Trust
         in  order to  establish and  designate separate classes of shares of 
         any series of the Fund, and  it is based in part  upon resolutions of
         the Board  of Trustees  of the Fund adopted at  a meeting  on August
         8, 1995.

                WHEREAS,  Under  the Declaration of   Trust  the Board   of
         Trustees   has  the   authority,  in   its  discretion and  without
         shareholder approval,  to  divide the shares  of any series of the
         Fund into separate classes of shares;

                WHEREAS,  This  Board of  Trustees has  previously approved, 
         subject to  various  conditions, the  division of  the shares  of each 
         series   of the   Fund  into   four classes   of shares,   to be 
         named "Class A Shares," "Class B Shares," "Class C Shares" and "Class
         I Shares;"

                WHEREAS,    This  Board  of    Trustees  deems  it desirable
         and in the  best interests  of the  Fund to  divide the shares  of
         each series   of the   Fund, whether  now existing  or hereafter
         created  (the "series"), into four  separate classes of shares to be
         named, as  previously indicated,  "Class A  Shares," "Class B 
         Shares," "Class C  Shares" and "Class  I Shares" and to provide
         investors  with   a  conversion   feature from   Class  B Shares to
         the   Class A Shares,  which  conversion feature  would thereby 
         eliminate  any distribution services fee  then in effect under any
         plan  adopted  pursuant to  Rule 12b-1  of   the Investment 
         Company  Act of 1940  ("1940 Act")  for such Class  B Shares; and

                WHEREAS, This Board of Trustees  believes that   the creation
         of four separate  classes of shares  as  provided herein will  be in 
         the best  interests of  and will  have no   negative effects upon the
         current shareholders of the Fund;

                NOW,   THEREFORE,     the    establishment   and designation 
         of separate classes of shares of any   series of the Fund is approved
         in accordance with the following provisions:
           
<PAGE>   2

                1.     Subject to  the conditions  hereinafter set forth, the
         shares  of any   series shall   be divided into   four classes to   be
         known respectively  as the "Class A  Shares," the "Class B Shares," 
         the   "Class C   Shares" and   the  "Class   I Shares,"   which
         classes shall have such  preferences and special or relative  rights 
         and  privileges as may  be  determined  from time to time   by this
         Board of Trustees   subject always to  the Declaration  of  Trust  
         and  the  1940  Act  and the  rules  and regulations thereunder.

                2.     Subject to the terms of  the Declaration of Trust,  the
         Class  A Shares, Class  B Shares, Class  C Shares and Class  I Shares
         will have  the same rights  and privileges except that:

                time  in effect  or  shall be issued  to  shareholders  in
                connection  with the conversion  feature  as  hereinafter
                described;

                        (2)  shall have an administrative service fee;

                        (3)  shall  not have  a plan  of distribution adopted
                under Rule 12b-1 of the 1940  Act ("Rule 12b-1 plan") and no

                Shares or  Class C Shares  shall be allocated or  charged to
                the Class A Shares; and

                        (4)   shall have  such dividend reinvestment, exchange
                and  redemption rights and privileges as may be described in

                prospectus of the Fund as from time to time in effect;

                        (2)  shall have an administrative service fee;

                        (3)  shall have a Rule 12b-1 plan and any fees payable
                from time  to time  under such plan shall be  allocated and
                charged to, and any voting rights with respect to such plan
                shall be exercisable by, the Class B Shares only;

                        (4)  shall convert to Class A Shares within a specified
                number of years as hereinafter described; and

                shall be exercisable by, the Class C Shares only; and

                        (4)   shall have such  purchase, dividend reinvestment,
                exchange  and redemption  rights  and privileges  associated

                (D)  the Class I Shares

                payable under the  plans for the Class  B Shares or Class  C
                Shares shall be allocated or charged to the Class I Shares; and

                        (4)  shall  have such  dividend reinvestment,
                exchange and redemption   rights and privileges as may be

                3.     Any  shares  of  the  Fund  that are  issued

         classified  as Class A Shares.

                         (B)  Class B Shares  issued upon reinvestment of income

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF,  the undersigned have this 8th day of
                August, 1995 signed these presents.

                          INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT AGREEMENT

        AGREEMENT made this _th day of__________, 1995, by and between KEMPER
VALUE PLUS GROWTH FUND, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Fund"), and KEMPER
FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation (the "Adviser").

        WHEREAS, the Fund is an open-end management investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the shares of beneficial
interest ("Shares") of which are registered under the Securities Act of 1933;

        WHEREAS, the Fund is authorized to issue Shares in separate series or
portfolios with each representing the interests in a separate portfolio of
securities and other assets;

        WHEREAS, the Fund currently offers or intends to offer Shares in one
portfolio, the Initial Portfolio, together with any other Fund portfolios which
may be established later and served by the Adviser hereunder, being herein
referred to collectively as the "Portfolios" and individually referred to as a
"Portfolio"; and

        WHEREAS, the Fund desires at this time to retain the Adviser to render
investment advisory and management services to the Initial Portfolio, and the
Adviser is willing to render such services;

        NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter
contained, it is hereby agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:

1.      The Fund hereby employs the Adviser to act as the investment adviser
for the Initial Portfolio and other Portfolios hereunder and to manage the
investment and reinvestment of the assets of each such Portfolio in accordance
with the applicable investment objectives and policies and limitations, and to
administer the affairs of each such Portfolio to the extent requested by and
subject to the supervision of the Board of Trustees of the Fund for the period
and upon the terms herein set forth, and to place orders for the purchase or
sale of portfolio securities for the Fund's account with brokers or dealers
selected by it; and, in connection therewith, the Adviser is authorized as the
agent of the Fund to give instructions to the Custodian of the Fund as to the
deliveries of securities and payments of cash for the account of the Fund. In
connection with the

<PAGE>   2

selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, the
Adviser is directed to seek for the Fund best execution of orders. Subject to
such policies as the Board of Trustees of the Fund determines, the Adviser
shall not be deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty,
created by this Agreement or otherwise, solely by reason of its having caused
the Fund to pay a broker or dealer an amount of commission for effecting a
securities transaction in excess of the amount of commission another broker or
dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction, if the Adviser
determined in good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such
broker or dealer viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the
Adviser's overall responsibilities with respect to the clients of the Adviser
as to which the Adviser exercises investment discretion. The Fund recognizes
that all research services and research that the Adviser receives or generates
are available for all clients, and that the Fund and other clients may benefit
thereby. The investment of funds shall be subject to all applicable
restrictions of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of the Fund
as may from time to time be in force.

        The Adviser accepts such employment and agrees during such period to
render such services, to furnish office facilities and equipment and clerical,
bookkeeping and administrative services for the Fund, to permit any of its
officers or employees to serve without compensation as trustees or officers of
the Fund if elected to such positions and to assume the obligations herein set
forth for the compensation herein provided. The Adviser shall for all purposes
herein provided be deemed to be an independent contractor and, unless otherwise
expressly provided or authorized, shall have no authority to act for or
represent the Fund in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Fund. It
is understood and agreed that the Adviser, by separate agreements with the
Fund, may also serve the Fund in other capacities.

2.      In the event that the Fund establishes one or more portfolios other
than the Initial Portfolio with respect to which it desires to retain the
Adviser to render investment advisory and management services hereunder, it
shall notify the Adviser in writing. If the Adviser is willing to render such
services, it shall notify the Fund in writing whereupon such portfolio or
portfolios shall become a Portfolio or Portfolios hereunder.

3.      For the services and facilities described in Section 1, the Fund
will pay to the Adviser at the end of each calendar month, an investment
management fee for each Portfolio

                                      2

        The fee as computed above shall be computed separately for, and charged
as an expense of, each Portfolio based upon the average daily net assets of such
Portfolio. For the month and year in which this Agreement becomes effective or
terminates, there shall be an appropriate proration on the basis of the number
of days that the Agreement is in effect during the month and year, respectively.

4.      The services of the Adviser to the Fund under this Agreement are not
to be deemed exclusive, and the Adviser shall be free to render similar services
or other services to others so long as its services hereunder are not impaired
thereby.

5.      In addition to the fee of the Adviser, the Fund shall assume and pay
any expenses for services rendered by a custodian for the safekeeping of the
Fund's securities or other property, for keeping its books of account, for any
other charges of the custodian, and for calculating the net asset value of the
Fund as provided in the prospectus of the Fund. The Adviser shall not be
required to pay and the Fund shall assume and pay the charges and expenses of
its operations, including compensation of the trustees (other than those
affiliated with the Adviser), charges and expenses of independent auditors, of
legal counsel, of any transfer or dividend disbursing agent, and of any
registrar of the Fund, costs of acquiring and disposing of portfolio securities,
interest, if any, on obligations incurred by the Fund, costs of share
certificates and of reports, membership dues in the Investment Company Institute
or any similar organization,


                                      3
<PAGE>   4

costs of reports and notices to shareholders, other like miscellaneous expenses
and all taxes and fees payable to federal, state or other governmental agencies
on account of the registration of securities issued by  the Fund, filing of
trust documents or otherwise. The Fund shall not pay or incur any obligation for
any expenses for which the Fund intends to seek reimbursement from the Adviser
as herein provided without first obtaining the written approval of the Adviser.
The Adviser shall arrange, if desired by the Fund, for officers or employees of
the Adviser to serve, without compensation from the Fund, as trustees, officers
or agents of the Fund if duly elected or appointed to such positions and subject
to their individual consent and to any limitations imposed by law.

        If expenses borne by the Fund for those Portfolios which the Adviser
manages in any fiscal year (including the Adviser's fee, but excluding
interest, taxes, fees incurred in acquiring and disposing of portfolio  
securities, distribution services fees, extraordinary expenses and any other
expenses excludable under state securities law limitations) exceed any
applicable limitation arising under state securities laws, the Adviser will
reduce its fee or reimburse the Fund for any excess to the extent required by
such state securities laws. If for any month the expenses of the Fund properly
chargeable to the income account shall exceed 1/12 of the percentage of average
net assets allowable as expenses, the payment to the Adviser for that month
shall be reduced and if necessary the Adviser shall make a refund payment to
the Fund so that the total net expense will not exceed such percentage. As of
the end of the Fund's fiscal year, however, the foregoing computations and
payments shall be readjusted so that the aggregate compensation payable to the
Adviser for the year is equal to the percentage calculated in accordance with
Section 3 hereof of the average net asset value as determined as described
herein throughout the fiscal year, diminished to the extent necessary so that
the total of the aforementioned expense items of the Fund shall not exceed the
expense limitation. The aggregate of repayments, if any, by the Adviser to the
Fund for the year shall be the amount necessary to limit the said net expense
to said percentage in accordance with the foregoing.

        The net asset value for each Portfolio shall be calculated in accordance
with the provisions of the Fund's prospectus or as the trustees may determine in
accordance with the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940. On each
day when net asset value is not calculated, the net asset value of a Portfolio
shall be deemed to be the net asset value of such Portfolio as of the close of
business on the last day on which such calculation was made for the purpose of
the foregoing computations.

6.      Subject to applicable statutes and regulations, it is understood that
trustees, officers or agents of the Fund are or may be interested in the Adviser
as officers, directors, agents, shareholders or otherwise, and that the
officers, directors, shareholders and agents of the Adviser may be interested in
the Fund otherwise than as a trustee, officer or aqent.

7.      The Adviser shall not be liable for any error of judgment or of law
or for any loss suffered by the Fund in connection with the matters to which
this Agreement relates, except loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence on the part of the Adviser in the performance of its
obligations and duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations
and duties under this Agreement.

8.      This Agreement shall become effective with respect to the Initial
Portfolio on the date hereof and shall remain in full force until March 1, 1997,
unless sooner terminated as hereinafter provided. This Agreement shall continue
in force from year to year thereafter with respect to each Portfolio, but only
as long as such continuance is specifically approved for each Portfolio at least
annually in the manner required by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the
rules and regulations thereunder; provided, however, that if the continuation of
this Agreement is not approved for a Portfolio, the Adviser may continue to
serve in such capacity for such Portfolio in the manner and to the extent
permitted by the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations
thereunder.

        This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its
assignment and may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty
by the Fund or by the Adviser on sixty (60) days written notice to the other
party. The Fund may effect termination with respect to any Portfolio by action
of the Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of such Portfolio.

        This Agreement may be terminated with respect to any Portfolio at any
time without the payment of any penalty by the Board of Trustees or by vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Portfolio in the event
that it shall have been established by a court of competent jurisdiction that
the Adviser or any officer or director of the Adviser has taken any action which
results in a breach of the covenants of the Adviser set forth herein.

                                       5

<PAGE>   6

        The terms "assignment" and "vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities" shall have the meanings set forth in the Investment Company Act of
1940 and the rules and regulations thereunder.

        Termination of this Agreement shall not affect the right of the Adviser
to receive payments on any unpaid balance of the compensation described in
Section 3 earned prior to such termination.

9.      If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a
court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder shall not be thereby
affected.

10.     Any notice under this Agreement shall be in writing, addressed and
delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the other party at such address as such
other party may designate for the receipt of such notice.

11.     All parties hereto are expressly put on notice of the Fund's Agreement
and Declaration of Trust and all amendments thereto, all of which are on file
with the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the limitation of
shareholder and trustee liability contained therein. This Agreement has been
executed by and on behalf of the Fund by its representatives as such
representatives and not individually, and the obligations of the Fund hereunder
are not binding upon any of the trustees, officers, or shareholders of the Fund
individually but are binding upon only the assets and property of the Fund. With
respect to any claim by the Adviser for recovery of that portion of the
investment management fee (or any other liability of the Fund arising hereunder)
allocated to a particular Portfolio, whether in accordance with the express
terms hereof or otherwise, the Adviser shall have recourse solely against the
assets of that Portfolio to satisfy such claim and shall have no recourse
against the assets of any other Portfolio for such purpose.

12.     This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with applicable federal
law and (except as to Section 11 hereof which shall be construed in accordance
with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts) the laws of the State of
Illinois.

13.     This Agreement is the entire contract between the parties relating to
the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements between the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof.

                             SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT


     AGREEMENT made this ____ day of _______, 1995, by and
between KEMPER FINANCIAL SERVICES, INC., a Delaware corporation
(the "Adviser") and DREMAN VALUE ADVISORS, INC., a Delaware
corporation (the "Sub-Adviser").

     WHEREAS, KEMPER VALUE PLUS GROWTH FUND, a Massachusetts
business trust (the "Fund") is an open-end management investment
company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, the
shares of beneficial interest ("Shares") of the initial series of
which are registered under the Securities Act of 1933;

     WHEREAS, the Fund has retained the Adviser to render to it
investment advisory and management services pursuant to an
Investment Management Agreement, dated ___________________, 1995
(the "Management Agreement"); and

     WHEREAS, the Adviser desires at this time to retain the
Sub-Adviser to render investment advisory and management services
with respect to that portion of the Fund's portfolio allocated to
the Sub-Adviser by the Adviser for management and the Sub-Adviser
is willing to render such services;

     NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
hereinafter contained, it is hereby agreed by and between the
parties hereto as follows:

1.   The Adviser hereby employs the Sub-Adviser to manage the
investment and reinvestment of the assets of the Fund allocated
by the Adviser in its sole discretion to the Sub-Adviser for
management in accordance with the applicable investment
objectives and policies and limitations and subject to the
supervision of the Adviser and the Board of Trustees of the Fund
for the period and upon the terms herein set forth, and to place
orders for the purchase or sale of portfolio securities for the
Fund's account with brokers or dealers selected by the
Sub-Adviser; and, in connection therewith, the Sub-Adviser is
authorized as the agent of the Fund to give instructions to the
Custodian of the Fund as to the deliveries of securities and
payments of cash for the account of the Fund.  In connection with
the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such
orders, the Sub-Adviser is directed to seek for the Fund best
execution of orders.  Subject to such policies as the Board of
Trustees of the Fund determines, the Sub-Adviser shall not be
deemed to have acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty,
created by this Agreement or otherwise, solely by reason of its
having caused the Fund to pay a broker or dealer an amount of
commission for effecting a securities transaction in excess of
 
<PAGE>   2


the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have
charged for effecting that transaction, if the Sub-Adviser
determined in good faith that such amount of commission was
reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research
services provided by such broker or dealer viewed in terms of
either that particular transaction or the Sub-Adviser's overall
responsibilities with respect to the clients of the Sub-Adviser
as to which the Sub-Adviser exercises investment discretion.  The
Adviser recognizes that all research services and research that
the Sub-Adviser receives or generates are available for all
clients of the Sub-Adviser, and that the Fund and other clients
of the Sub-Adviser may benefit thereby.  The investment of funds
shall be subject to all applicable restrictions of the Agreement
and Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of the Fund as may from time
to time be in force.

     The Sub-Adviser accepts such employment and agrees during
such period to render such investment management services, to
furnish related office facilities and equipment and clerical,
bookkeeping and administrative services for the Fund, to permit
any of its officers or employees to serve without compensation as
trustees or officers of the Fund if elected to such positions and
to assume the obligations herein set forth for the compensation
herein provided.  The Sub-Adviser shall for all purposes herein
provided be deemed to be an independent contractor and, unless
otherwise expressly provided or authorized, shall have no
authority to act for or represent the Fund or the Adviser in any
way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Fund or the Adviser.
It is understood and agreed that the Sub-Adviser, by separate
agreements with the Fund, may also serve the Fund in other
capacities.

2.   In the event that the Fund establishes one or more
additional series with respect to which the Adviser desires to
retain the Sub-Adviser to render investment advisory and
management services hereunder, the Adviser shall notify the
Sub-Adviser in writing.  If the Sub-Adviser is willing to render
such services, it shall notify the Adviser in writing whereupon
such series shall become subject to this agreement.

3.   For the services and facilities described in Section 1, the
Adviser will pay to the Sub-Adviser at the end of each calendar
month, a sub-advisory fee computed at an annual rate of .25 of 1%
of the Fund's average daily net assets.

     The fee as computed above shall be computed separately for,
and charged as an expense of, each series of the Fund based upon
the average daily net assets of such series.  For the month and
year in which this Agreement becomes effective or terminates,
there shall be an appropriate proration on the basis of the


                                      -2-


 
<PAGE>   3


number of days that the Agreement is in effect during the month
and year, respectively.

4.   The services of the Sub-Adviser under this Agreement are not
to be deemed exclusive, and the Sub-Adviser shall be free to
render similar services or other services to others so long as
its services hereunder are not impaired thereby.

5.   The Sub-Adviser shall arrange, if desired by the Fund, for
officers or employees of the Sub-Adviser to serve, without
compensation from the Fund, as trustees, officers or agents of
the Fund if duly elected or appointed to such positions and
subject to their individual consent and to any limitations
imposed by law.

6.    The net asset value for each series of the Fund shall be
calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Fund's
prospectus or as the trustees may determine in accordance with
the provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940.  On each
day when net asset value is not calculated, the net asset value
of a series shall be deemed to be the net asset value of such
series as of the close of business on the last day on which such
calculation was made for the purpose of the foregoing
computations.

7.   Subject to applicable statutes and regulations, it is
understood that certain trustees, officers or agents of the Fund
are or may be interested in the Sub-Adviser as officers,
directors, agents, shareholders or otherwise, and that the
officers, directors, shareholders and agents of the Sub-Adviser
may be interested in the Fund otherwise than as a trustee,
officer or agent.

8.   The Sub-Adviser shall not be liable for any error of
judgment or of law or for any loss suffered by the Fund or the
Adviser in connection with the matters to which this Agreement
relates, except loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad
faith or gross negligence on the part of the Sub-Adviser in the
performance of its obligations and duties or by reason of its
reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this
Agreement.

9.   This Agreement shall become effective with respect to the
initial series of the Fund on the date hereof and shall remain in
full force until March 1, 1997, unless sooner terminated as
hereinafter provided.  This Agreement shall continue in force
from year to year thereafter with respect to each series, but
only as long as such continuance is specifically approved for
each series at least annually in the manner required by the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations
thereunder; provided, however, that if the continuation of this
Agreement is not approved for a series, the Sub-Adviser may

                                      -3-

 
<PAGE>   4


continue to serve in such capacity for such Portfolio in the
manner and to the extent permitted by the Investment Company Act
of 1940 and the rules and regulations thereunder.

     This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of
its assignment or in the event of the termination of the
Management Agreement and may be terminated at any time with
respect to any series without the payment of any penalty by the
Adviser or by the Sub-Adviser on sixty (60) days written notice
to the other party.  The Fund may effect termination with respect
to any series without payment of any penalty by action of the
Board of Trustees or by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of such series on sixty (60) days written
notice to the Adviser and the Sub-Adviser.

     This Agreement may be terminated with respect to any series
at any time without the payment of any penalty by the Board of
Trustees of the Fund, by vote of a majority of the outstanding
voting securities of such series or by the Adviser in the event
that it shall have been established by a court of competent
jurisdiction that the Sub-Adviser or any officer or director of
the Sub-Adviser has taken any action which results in a breach of
the covenants of the Sub-Adviser set forth herein.

     The terms "assignment" and "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities" shall have the meanings set forth
in the Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and
regulations thereunder.

     Termination of this Agreement shall not affect the right of
the Sub-Adviser to receive payments on any unpaid balance of the
compensation described in Section 3 earned prior to such
termination.

10.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made
invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the
remainder shall not be thereby affected.

11.  Any notice under this Agreement shall be in writing,
addressed and delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the other
party at such address as such other party may designate for the
receipt of such notice.

12.  This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
applicable federal law and the laws of the State of Illinois.

              UNDERWRITING AND DISTRIBUTION SERVICES AGREEMENT


        AGREEMENT made this _______ day of _________________, 1995, between
KEMPER VALUE PLUS GROWTH FUND, a Massachusetts business trust (the "Fund"), and
KEMPER DISTRIBUTORS, INC., a Delaware corporation ("KDI").

        In consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained, it is
hereby agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:

1.      The Fund hereby appoints KDI to act as agent for the distribution of
shares of beneficial interest (hereinafter called "shares") of the Fund in
jurisdictions wherein shares of the Fund may legally be offered for sale;
provided, however, that the Fund in its absolute discretion may (a) issue or
sell shares directly to holders of shares of the Fund upon such terms and
conditions and for such consideration, if any, as it may determine, whether in  
connection with the distribution of subscription or purchase rights, the
payment or reinvestment of dividends or distributions, or otherwise; or (b)     
issue or sell shares at net asset value to the shareholders of any other
investment company, for which KDI shall act as exclusive distributor, who wish
to exchange all or a portion of their investment in shares of such other
investment company for shares of the Fund.  KDI shall appoint various financial 
service firms ("Firms") to provide distribution services to investors.  The
Firms shall provide such office space and equipment, telephone facilities,
personnel, literature distribution, advertising and promotion as is necessary
or beneficial for providing information and distribution services to existing
and potential clients of the Firms.  KDI may also provide some of the above
services for the Fund.

        KDI accepts such appointment as distributor and principal underwriter
and agrees to render such services and to assume the obligations herein set
forth for the compensation herein provided.  KDI shall for all purposes herein
provided be deemed to be an independent contractor and, unless expressly
provided herein or otherwise authorized, shall have no authority to act for or
represent the Fund in any way.  KDI, by separate agreement with the Fund, may
also serve the Fund in other capacities. The services of KDI to the Fund under
this Agreement are not to be deemed exclusive, and KDI shall be free to render
similar services or other services to others so long as its services hereunder
are not impaired thereby.



<PAGE>   2





        In carrying out its duties and responsibilities hereunder, KDI will,
pursuant to separate written contracts, appoint various Firms to provide
advertising, promotion and other distribution services contemplated hereunder
directly to or for the benefit of existing and potential shareholders who may
be clients of such Firms.  Such Firms shall at all times be deemed to be
independent contractors retained by KDI and not the Fund.

        KDI shall use its best efforts with reasonable promptness to sell such
part of the authorized shares of the Fund remaining unissued as from time to
time shall be effectively registered under the Securities Act of 1933
("Securities Act"), at prices determined as hereinafter provided and on terms
hereinafter set forth, all subject to applicable federal and state laws and
regulations and to the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Fund.

2.      KDI shall sell shares of the Fund to or through qualified Firms in such
manner, not inconsistent with the provisions hereof and the then effective
registration statement (and related prospectus) of the Fund under the
Securities Act, as KDI may determine from time to time, provided that no Firm   
or other person shall be appointed or authorized to act as agent of the Fund
without the prior consent of the Fund.  In addition to sales made by it as
agent of the Fund, KDI may, in its discretion, also sell shares of the Fund as
principal to persons with whom it does not have selling group agreements.

        Shares of any class of any series of the Fund offered for sale or sold
by KDI shall be so offered or sold at a price per share determined in
accordance with the then current prospectus. The price the Fund shall receive
for all shares purchased from it shall be the net asset value used in
determining the public offering price applicable to the sale of such shares. 
Any excess of the sales price over the net asset value of the shares of the
Fund sold by KDI as agent shall be retained by KDI as a commission for its
services hereunder.  KDI may compensate Firms for sales of shares at the
commission levels provided in the Fund's prospectus from time to time.  KDI may
pay other commissions, fees or concessions to Firms, and may pay them to others
in its discretion, in such amounts as KDI shall determine from time to time. 
KDI shall be entitled to receive and retain any applicable contingent deferred
sales charge as described in the Fund's prospectus.  KDI shall also receive any
distribution services fee payable by the Fund as provided in Section 8 hereof.

        KDI will require each Firm to conform to the provisions hereof and the
Registration Statement (and related prospectus) at the time in effect under the
Securities Act with respect to the public offering price or net asset value, as
applicable, of the Fund's shares, and neither KDI nor any such Firms shall
withhold the placing of purchase orders so as to make a profit thereby.




                                       2


<PAGE>   3





3.      The Fund will use its best efforts to keep effectively registered under
the Securities Act for sale as herein contemplated such shares as KDI shall
reasonably request and as the Securities and Exchange Commission shall  permit
to be so registered.  Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Fund may
terminate, suspend or withdraw the offering of shares whenever, in its sole
discretion, it deems such action to be desirable.

4.      The Fund will execute any and all documents and furnish any and all
information that may be reasonably necessary in connection with the
qualification of its shares for sale (including the qualification of the Fund
as a dealer where necessary or advisable) in such states as KDI may reasonably  
request (it being understood that the Fund shall not be required without its
consent to comply with any requirement which in its opinion is unduly
burdensome).  The Fund will furnish to KDI from time to time such information
with respect to the Fund and its shares as KDI may reasonably request for use
in connection with the sale of shares of the Fund.

5.      KDI shall issue and deliver or shall arrange for various Firms to issue
and deliver on behalf of the Fund such confirmations of sales made by it
pursuant to this agreement as may be required.  At or prior to the time of
issuance of shares, KDI will pay or cause to be paid to the Fund the amount due 
the Fund for the sale of such shares.  Certificates shall be issued or shares
registered on the transfer books of the Fund in such names and denominations as
KDI may specify.

6.      KDI shall order shares of the Fund from the Fund only to the extent
that it shall have received purchase orders therefor.  KDI will not make, or
authorize Firms or others to make (a) any short sales of shares of the Fund; or
(b) any sales of such shares to any trustee or officer of the Fund or to any    
officer or director of KDI or of any corporation or association furnishing
investment advisory, managerial or supervisory services to the Fund, or to any
corporation or association, unless such sales are made in accordance with the
then current prospectus relating to the sale of such shares.  KDI, as agent of
and for the account of the Fund, may repurchase the shares of the Fund at such
prices and upon such terms and conditions as shall be specified in the current
prospectus of the Fund.  In selling or reacquiring shares of the Fund for the
account of the Fund, KDI will in all respects conform to the requirements of
all state and federal laws and the Rules of Fair Practice of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., relating to such sale or
reacquisition, as the case may be, and will indemnify and save harmless the
Fund from any damage or expense on account of any wrongful act by KDI or any
employee, representative or agent of KDI. KDI will observe and be bound by all
the provisions of the Agreement and Declaration of Trust of the Fund (and of
any fundamental policies

                                       3



<PAGE>   4





adopted by the Fund pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940, notice of
which shall have been given to KDI) which at the time in any way require,
limit, restrict, prohibit or otherwise regulate any action of the part of KDI
hereunder.

7.      The Fund shall assume and pay all charges and expenses of its operations
not specifically assumed or otherwise to be provided by KDI under this
Agreement.  The Fund will pay or cause to be paid expenses (including the fees
and disbursements of its own counsel) of any registration of the Fund and its
shares under the United States securities laws and expenses incident to the
issuance of shares of beneficial interest, such as the cost of share
certificates, issue taxes, and fees of the transfer agent. KDI will pay all
expenses (other than expenses which one or more Firms may bear pursuant to any
agreement with KDI) incident to the sale and distribution of the shares issued
or sold hereunder, including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
all (a) expenses of printing and distributing any prospectus and of preparing,
printing and distributing or disseminating any other literature, advertising
and selling aids in connection with the offering of the shares for sale (except
that such expenses need not include expenses incurred by the Fund in connection
with the preparation, typesetting, printing and distribution of any
registration statement or prospectus, report or other communication to
shareholders in their capacity as such), (b) expenses of advertising in
connection with such offering and (c) expenses (other than the Fund's auditing
expenses) of qualifying or continuing the qualification of the shares for sale
and, in connection therewith, of qualifying or continuing the qualification of
the Fund as a dealer or broker under the laws of such states as may be
designated by KDI under the conditions herein specified.  No transfer taxes, if
any, which may be payable in connection with the issue or delivery of shares
sold as herein contemplated or of the certificates for such shares shall be
borne by the Fund, and KDI will indemnify and hold harmless the Fund against
liability for all such transfer taxes.

8.      For the services and facilities described herein in connection with
Class B shares and Class C shares of each series of the Fund, the Fund will pay
to KDI at the end of each calendar month a distribution services fee computed
at the annual rate of .75% of average daily net assets attributable to the
Class B shares and Class C shares of each such series.  For the month and year
in which this Agreement becomes effective or terminates, there shall be an
appropriate proration on the basis of the number of days that the Agreement
is in effect during the month and year, respectively.  The foregoing fee shall
be in addition to and shall not be reduced or offset by the amount of any
contingent deferred sales charge received by KDI under Section 2 hereof.



                                       4

<PAGE>   5





        The net asset value shall be calculated in accordance with the
provisions of the Fund's current prospectus.  On each day when net asset value
is not calculated, the net asset value of a share of any class of any series of
the Fund shall be deemed to be the net asset value of such a share as of the
close of business on the last previous day on which such calculation was made.
The distribution services fee for any class of a series of the Fund shall be
based upon average daily net assets of the series attributable to the class and
such fee shall be charged only to such class.

9.      KDI shall prepare reports for the Board of Trustees of the  Fund on a
quarterly basis in connection with the Fund's distribution plan for Class B
shares and Class C shares showing amounts paid to the various Firms and such
other information as from time to time shall be reasonably requested by the
Board of Trustees.

10.     To the extent applicable, this Agreement constitutes the plan for the
Class B shares and Class C shares of each series of the Fund pursuant to Rule
12b-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940; and this Agreement and plan
shall be approved and renewed in accordance with Rule 12b-1 for such Class B
shares and Class C shares separately.

        This Agreement shall become effective on the date hereof and shall
continue for one year thereafter; and shall continue from year to year
thereafter only so long as such continuance is approved in the manner required
by the Investment Company Act of 1940.

        This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its
assignment and may be terminated at any time without the payment of any penalty
by the Fund or by KDI on sixty (60) days written notice to the other party. 
The Fund may effect termination with respect to any class of any series of the
Fund by a vote of (i) a majority of the Board of Trustees, (ii) a majority of
the trustees who are not interested persons of the Fund and who have no direct
or indirect financial interest in this Agreement or in any agreement related to
this Agreement, or (iii) a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the
class.  Without prejudice to any other remedies of the Fund, the Fund may
terminate this Agreement at any time immediately upon KDI's failure to fulfill
any of its obligations hereunder.

        This Agreement may not be amended to increase the amount to be paid to
KDI by the Fund for services hereunder with respect to a class of any series of
the Fund without the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
such class. All material amendments to this Agreement must in any event be
approved by a vote of the Board of Trustees of the Fund including the trustees
who are not interested persons of the Fund and who have no direct or indirect
financial interest in this Agreement or in any

                                       5

agreement related to this Agreement, cast in person at a meeting called for 
such purpose.

        The terms "assignment", "interested" and "vote of a majority of the
outstanding voting securities" shall have the meanings set forth in the
Investment Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations thereunder.

        Termination of this Agreement shall not affect the right of KDI to
receive payments on any unpaid balance of the compensation described in Section
8 earned prior to such termination.

11.     KDI will not use or distribute, or authorize the use, distribution or
dissemination by Firms or others in connection  with the sale of Fund shares
any statements other than those contained in the Fund's current prospectus,
except such supplemental literature or advertising as shall be lawful under
federal and state securities laws and regulations.  KDI will furnish the Fund 
with copies of all such material.

12.     If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a
court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder shall not be thereby
affected.

13.     Any notice under this Agreement shall be in writing, addressed and
delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the other party at such address as
such other party may designate for the receipt of such notice.

14.     All parties hereto are expressly put on notice of the Fund's Agreement
and Declaration of Trust, and all amendments thereto, all of which are on file
with the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the limitation of
shareholder and trustee liability contained therein.  This Agreement has been
executed by and on behalf of the Fund by its representatives as such    
representatives and not individually, and the obligations of the Fund hereunder
are not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers or shareholders of the Fund
individually but are binding upon only the assets and property of the Fund. 
With respect to any claim by KDI for recovery of any liability of the Fund
arising hereunder allocated to a particular series or class, whether in
accordance with the express terms hereof or otherwise, KDI shall have recourse
solely against the assets of that series or class to satisfy such claim and
shall have no recourse against the assets of any other series or class for such
purpose.

15.     This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with applicable
federal law and (except as to Section 14 hereof which shall be construed in
accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts) the laws of the
State of Illinois.

SELLING GROUP AGREEMENT KEMPER DISTRIBUTORS, INC.       
120 South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603

Dear Financial Services Firm:

        As principal underwriter and distributor, we invite you to join a
Selling Group for the distribution of shares of the Kemper Mutual Funds (herein
called "Funds"), but only in those states in which the shares of the respective
Funds may legally be offered for sale. As exclusive agent of each of the Funds,
we offer to sell to you shares of the Funds on the following terms: 
        1.  In all sales of these shares to the public you shall act as dealer
for your own account, and in no transaction shall you have any authority to 
act as agent for the issuer, for us, or for any other member of the Selling
Group. 
        2. Orders received from you will be accepted by us only at the public
offering price applicable to each order, as established by the Prospectus of
each Fund, subject to the discount, commission or other concession, if any, as
provided in such Prospectus.  Upon receipt from you of any order to purchase
shares of a Fund, we shall confirm to you in writing or by wire to be followed
by a confirmation in writing. Additional instructions may be forwarded to you
from time to time.  All orders are subject to acceptance or rejection by us in
our sole discretion. 
        3. You may offer and sell shares to your customers only at the public
offering price determined in the manner described in the applicable Prospectus.
The public offering price is the net asset value per share as provided in the
applicable Prospectus plus, with respect to certain Funds, a sales charge from
which you shall receive a discount equal to a percentage of the applicable
offering price as provided in the applicable Prospectus. You shall receive a
sales commission, with respect to certain Funds, equal to a percentage of the
amount invested as provided in the applicable Prospectus. You shall receive a
distribution service fee, for certain Funds for which such fees are available,
as provided in the applicable Prospectus which fee shall be payable with
respect to such assets, for such periods and at such intervals as are from time
to tome specified by us. The discounts or other concessions to which you may be
entitled in connection with sales to your customers pursuant to any special
features of a Fund (such as cumulative discounts, letters of intent, etc., the
terms of which shall be as described in the applicable Prospectus and related
forms) shall be in accordance with the terms of such features. You may receive
an administrative service fee, with respect to certain Funds for which such
fees are available, as provided in the applicable Prospectus, which fee shall
be payable with respect to such





 
<PAGE>   2





assets, for such periods and at such intervals as are from time to time 
specified by us.
        4.  By accepting this agreement, you agree: 
            (a)  To purchase shares only from us or from your customers.        
            (b)  That you will purchase shares from us only to cover purchase
orders already received from your customers, or for your own bona fide
investments.    
            (c)  That you will not purchase shares from your customers at a 
price lower than the bid price then quoted by or for the Fund involved.  You 
may, however, sell shares for the account of your customer to the Fund, or to 
us as agent for the Fund, at the bid price currently quoted by or for the Fund
and charge your customer a fair commission for handling the transaction.        
            (d)  That you will not withhold placing with us orders received from
your customers so as to profit yourself as a result of such withholding.        
        5.  We will not accept from you any conditional orders for shares.      
        6.  If any shares confirmed to you under the terms of this agreement
are repurchased by the issuing Fund or by us as agent for the Fund, or are
tendered for repurchase, within seven business days after the date of our
confirmation of the original purchase order, you shall forthwith refund to us
the full discount, commission, finder's fee or other concession, if any,
allowed or paid to you on such shares.  
        7.  Payment for shares ordered from us shall be in New York clearing
house funds and must be received by the appropriate Fund's shareholder service
agent within seven days after our acceptance of your order (or such shorter
time period as may be required by applicable regulations). If such payment is
not received, we reserve the right, without notice, forthwith to cancel the
sale or, at our option, to sell the shares ordered back to the Fund, in which
case we may hold you responsible for any loss, including loss of profit
suffered by us as a result of your failure to make such payment.
        8.  Shares sold to you hereunder shall be available in negotiable form
for delivery at the appropriate Fund's shareholder services agent, against
payment, unless other instructions have been given.
        9.  All sales will be made subject to our receipt of shares from the
Fund. We reserve the right, in our discretion, without notice, to suspend sales
or withdraw the offering of shares entirely. We reserve the right to modify,
cancel or change the terms of this agreement, upon 15 days prior written notice
to you.  Also, the sales charges, discounts, commissions or other concessions,
service fees of any kind provided for hereunder are subject to change at any
time by the Funds and us.
        10. All communications to us should be sent to the address in the
heading above. Any notice to you shall be duly given if mailed or telegraphed
to you at the address specified by you below.

        11. This agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
Illinois. This agreement is subject to the Prospectuses of the Funds from time
to time in effect, and, in the event of a conflict, the terms of the
Prospectuses shall control. References herein to the "Prospectus" of a Fund
shall mean the prospectus and statement of additional information of such Fund
as from time to time in effect. Any changes, modifications or additions
reflected in any such Prospectus shall be effective on the date of such
Prospectus (or supplement thereto) unless specified otherwise.

                        ADDITIONAL STIPULATIONS AND CONDITIONS

        13. No person is authorized to make any representations concerning
shares of any Fund except those contained in the Prospectus of such Fund and in
printed information subsequently issued by the Fund or by us as information
supplemental to such Prospectus. If you wish to use your own advertising with
respect to a Fund, all such advertising must be approved by us or by the Fund
prior to use. You shall be responsible for any required filing of such
advertising.
        14. Your acceptance of this agreement constitutes a representation (i)
that you are a registered security dealer and a member in good standing of the
National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and that you agree to comply
with all state and federal laws, rules and regulations applicable to
transactions hereunder and to the Rules of Fair Practice of the National
Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., including specifically Section 26,
Article III thereof, or (ii) if you are offering and selling shares of the
Funds only in jurisdictions outside of the several states, territories and
possessions of the United States and are not otherwise required to be a member
of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., that you nevertheless
agree to conduct your business in accordance with the spirit of the Rules of
Fair Practice of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and to
observe the laws and regulations of the applicable jurisdiction. You likewise
agree that you will not offer to sell shares of any Fund in any state or other
jurisdiction in which they may not lawfully be offered for sale.
        15. You shall make available an investment management account for your
customers through the Funds and shall provide such office space and equipment,
telephone facilities, personnel and literature distribution as is necessary or
appropriate for providing information and services to your customer. Such
services and assistance may include, but not be limited to, establishment and
maintenance of shareholder accounts and records, processing purchase and
redemption transactions, answering routine inquiries regarding the Funds, and
such other services as may be agreed upon from time to time and as may be
permitted by applicable statute, rule, or regulation. You agree to release,
indemnify and hold harmless the Funds, us and our respective representatives
and agents from any and all direct or indirect liabilities or losses resulting
from requests, directions, actions or inactions of or by you, your officers,
employees or agents regarding the purchase, redemption or transfer of
registration of shares of the Funds for accounts of you, your customers and
other shareholders or from any unauthorized or improper use of any on-line
computer facilities. You shall prepare such periodic reports for us as shall
reasonably be requested by us. You shall immediately inform the Funds or us of
all written complaints received by you from Fund shareholders relating to the
maintenance of their accounts and shall promptly answer all such complaints and
other similar correspondence. You shall provide the Funds and us on a timely


 
<PAGE>   5





basis with such information as may be required to complete various regulatory 
forms.
        16. As a result of the necessity to compute the amount of any
contingent deferred sales charge due with respect to the redemption of shares,
you may not hold shares of a Fund imposing such a charge in an account
registered in your name or in the name of your nominee for the benefit of
certain of your customers except with our prior written consent. Except as
otherwise permitted by us, shares of such a Fund owned by a shareholder must be
in a separate identifiable account for such shareholder.
        17. Shares of certain Funds have been divided into separate classes:
Class A Shares, Class B Shares and Class C Shares. Class A shares are offered
at net asset value plus an initial sales charge. Class B Shares are offered at
net asset value without an initial sales charge but are subject to a contingent
deferred sales charge and a Rule 12b-1 fee and have a conversion feature. Class
C Shares are offered at net asset value without an initial sales charge or
contingent deferred sales charge but are subject to a Rule 12b-1 fee and have
no conversion feature. Please see the appropriate Prospectuses for a more
complete description of the distinctions between the classes of shares.
        It is important to investors not only to choose Funds appropriate for
their investment objectives, but also to choose the appropriate distribution
arrangement, based on the amount invested and the expected duration of the
investment. To assist investors in these decisions, we have instituted the
following policies with respect to orders for shares of the Funds. The
following policies and procedures with respect to sales of classes of shares of
the Funds apply to each broker/dealer that distributes shares of the Funds.
        1.  All purchase orders for $500,000 or more (not including street name
or omnibus accounts) should be for class A Shares.  
        2. Any purchase order of less than $500,000 may be for either Class A,
Class B or Class C Shares in light of the relevant facts and circumstances,
including:
           a.  the specific purchase order dollar amount;
           b.  the length of time the investor expects to hold the shares; and
           c.  any other relevant circumstances such as the availability of 
purchases under a Letter of Intent, Combined Purchases or Cumulative Discount 
Privilege.
        There are instances when one pricing structure may be more appropriate
than another. For example, investors who would qualify for a reduced sales
charge on Class A Shares may determine that payment of a reduced front-end
sales charge is preferable to payment of an ongoing Rule 12b-1 fee. On the
other hand, investors whose orders would not qualify for such a discount and
who plan to hold their investment for more than six years may wish to defer the
sales charge and would consider Class B Shares. Investors who prefer not to pay
an initial sales charge and who plan to redeem their shares within six years
might consider Class C Shares.
        Appropriate supervisory personnel within your organization must ensure
that all employees receiving investor inquiries about




 
<PAGE>   6





the purchase of shares of the Funds advise the investor of the available
pricing structures offered by the Funds and the impact of choosing one method
over another, including breakpoints and the availability of Letters of Intent,
Combined Purchases and Cumulative Discounts.  In some instances it may be
appropriate for a supervisory person to discuss a purchase with the investor.

        18. This agreement shall be in substitution of any prior selling group
agreement between you and us regarding these shares. This agreement shall not
be applicable to the provision of services for Cash Equivalent Fund, Tax-Exempt
California Money Market Fund, Tax Exempt New York Money Market Fund, Investors
Cash Trust and similar wholesale money market funds. The payment of related
distribution and services fees, shall be subject to separate services
agreements.

     authorizing certain persons to give instructions on behalf
     of Fund to Custodian and authorizing Custodian to rely upon
     written instructions over their signatures.

      3.  DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF CUSTODIAN.

          A.   Delivery of Assets

     All Fund's securities and monies, except as permitted by the
     Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"), will be
     delivered either to Custodian or to The Chase Manhattan
     Bank, N.A., pursuant to a separate custody agreement.  Fund
     will deliver or cause to be delivered to Custodian on the
     effective date of this Agreement, or as soon thereafter as
     practicable, and from time to time thereafter, portfolio
     securities acquired by it and monies then owned by it except
     as permitted by the 1940 Act or from time to time coming
     into its possession during the time this Agreement shall
     continue in effect.  Custodian shall have no responsibility
     or liability whatsoever for or on account of securities or
     monies not so delivered.  All securities so delivered to
     Custodian (other than bearer securities) shall be registered
     in the name of Fund or its nominee, or of a nominee of
     Custodian, or shall be properly endorsed and in form for
     transfer satisfactory to Custodian.

          B.   Safekeeping

          Custodian will receive delivery of and keep safely the
     assets of Fund delivered to it from time to time.  Custodian
     will not deliver any such assets to any person except as
     permitted by the provisions of this Agreement or any
     agreement executed by it according to the terms of this
     Agreement.  Custodian shall be responsible only for the
     monies and securities of Fund held directly by it or its
     nominees or sub-custodian under this Agreement; provided                
     that Custodian's responsibility for any sub-custodian
     appointed at the Fund's direction for purposes of (i)
     effecting third-party repurchase transactions with banks,
     brokers, dealers, or other entities through the use of a
     common custodian or sub-custodian; or (ii) providing
     depository and clearing agency services with respect to
     certain variable rate demand note securities ("special sub-
     custodian") shall be further limited as set forth in this
     Agreement.  Custodian may participate directly or
     indirectly through a sub-custodian in the Depository Trust
     Company, the  Treasury/Federal Reserve Book Entry System,
     the Participants Trust Company and any other securities
     depository approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund,
     subject to compliance with the provisions of Rule 17f-4
     under the 1940 Act including, without limitation, the

                                2  
<PAGE>   3


     specific provisions of subsections (a) (1) through (d) (4)
     thereof.

          C.   Registration of Securities

     Custodian will hold stocks and other registerable portfolio
     securities of Fund registered in the name of Fund or in the name 
     of any nominee of Custodian for whose fidelity and liabilities 
     Custodian shall be fully responsible, or in street certificate 
     form, so-called, with or without any indication of fiduciary 
     capacity.  Unless otherwise instructed, Custodian will register 
     all such portfolio securities in the name of its authorized 
     nominee.

                        D.  Exchange of Securities

          Upon receipt of instructions, Custodian will exchange,
     or cause to be exchanged, portfolio securities held by it
     for the account of Fund for other securities or cash issued
     or paid in connection with any reorganization,
     recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up of shares,
     change of par value, conversion or otherwise, and will
     deposit any such securities in accordance with the terms of
     any reorganization or protective plan.  Without instructions,
     Custodian is authorized to exchange securities held by it in
     temporary form for securities in definitive form, to effect
     an exchange of shares when the par value of the stock is
     changed, and, upon receiving payment therefore, to surrender
     bonds or other securities held by it at maturity or when
     advised of earlier call for redemption, except that
     Custodian shall receive instructions prior to surrendering
     any convertible security.

          E.   Purchases or Sales of Investments of Fund

          Fund shall, on each business day on which a purchase or
     sale of a portfolio security shall be made by it, deliver to
     Custodian instructions which shall specify with respect to                
     each such transaction:

     (2)  The number of shares or the principal amount purchased
          or sold, and accrued interest, if any;

     (8)  The name of the person from whom or the broker or
          dealer through whom the transaction was made.

     In accordance with such purchase instructions, Custodian
     shall pay for out of monies held for the account of Fund,
     but only insofar as monies are available therein for such
     purpose, and receive the portfolio securities so purchased
     by or for the account of Fund. Such payment shall be made
     only upon receipt by Custodian of the securities so
     purchased in form for transfer satisfactory to Custodian.

     In accordance with such sales instructions, Custodian will
     deliver or cause to be delivered the securities thus
     designated as sold for the account of Fund to the broker or
     other person specified in the instructions relating to such
     sale, such delivery to be made only upon receipt of payment
     therefor in such form as shall be satisfactory to Custodian,
     with the understanding that Custodian may deliver or cause
     to be delivered securities for payment in accordance  with
     the customs prevailing among dealers in securities.

          F.   Purchases or Sales of Options and Futures
               Transactions

          (d)  The number of options;
          (e)  The exercise price;
          (f)  Whether the transaction involves an opening,
               exercising, expiring or closing transaction;
          (g)  Whether the transaction involves a put or call;
          (h)  Whether the option is written or purchased; and
          (i)  The market on which the option is traded.

          G.   Securities Pledged to Secure Loans

          (1)  Upon receipt of instructions, Custodian will
               release or cause to be released securities held in
               custody to the pledgee designated in such

                                5  
<PAGE>   6

               instructions by way of pledge or hypothecation to
               cure any loan incurred by Fund; provided, however,
               that the securities shall be released only upon
               payment to Custodian of the monies borrowed,
               except that in cases where additional collateral
               is required to secure a borrowing already made,
               further securities may be released or caused to be
               released for that purpose upon receipt of
               instructions.  Upon receipt of instructions,
               Custodian will pay, but only from funds available
               for such purpose, any such loan upon redelivery to
               it of the securities pledged or hypothecated
               therefor and upon surrender of the note or notes
               evidencing such loan.

          (2)  Upon receipt of instructions, Custodian will
     release securities held in custody to the borrower
     designated in such instructions; provided, however, that the
     securities shall be released only upon deposit with
     Custodian of full cash collateral as specified in such
     instructions, and that Fund will retain the right to any
     dividends, interest or distribution on such loaned
     securities.  Upon receipt of instructions and the loaned
     securities, Custodian will release the cash collateral to
     the borrower.

          H.   Routine Matters

          Custodian will, in general, attend to all routine and
     mechanical matters in connection with the sale, exchange,
     substitution, purchase, transfer, or other dealings with
     securities or other property of Fund except as may be
     otherwise provided in this Agreement or directed from time
     to time by the Board of Trustees of Fund.

          I.   Demand Deposit Account

          Custodian will open and maintain a demand deposit
     account or accounts in the name of Custodian, subject only
     to draft or order by Custodian upon receipt of instructions.
     All monies received by Custodian from or for the account of
     Fund shall be deposited in said account or accounts.

          When properly authorized by a resolution of the Board
     of Trustees of Fund, Custodian may open and maintain an
     additional demand deposit account or accounts in such other
     banks or trust companies as may be designated in such
     resolution, such accounts, however, to be in the name of
     Custodian and subject only to its draft or order.

          J.   Income and Other Payments to Fund

          Custodian will:

          (1)  collect, claim and receive and deposit for the
     account of Fund all income and other payments which become
     due and payable on or after the effective date of this
     Agreement with respect to the securities deposited under
     this Agreement, and credit the account of Fund with such
     income on the payable date;

          (2)  execute ownership and other certificates and
     affidavits for all federal, state and local tax purposes in
     connection with the collection of bond and note coupons; and

          (3)  take such other action as may be necessary or
     proper in connection with:

          (a)  the collection, receipt and deposit of such income
          and other payments, including but not limited to the
          presentation for payment of:

          (1)  all coupons and other income items requiring
               presentation;

          (2)  all other securities which may mature or be
               called, redeemed, retired or otherwise become
               payable and regarding which the Custodian has
               actual knowledge, or notice of which is contained
               in publications of the type to which it normally
               subscribes for such purpose; and

          (b)  the endorsement for collection, in the name of
               Fund, of all checks, drafts or other negotiable
               instruments.

          Custodian, however, shall not be required to institute
     suit or take other extraordinary action to enforce
     collection except upon receipt of instructions and upon
     being indemnified to its satisfaction against the costs and
     expenses of such suit or other actions.  Custodian will
     receive, claim and collect all stock dividends, rights and
     other similar items and deal with the same pursuant to
     instructions.  Unless prior instructions have been  received
     to the contrary, Custodian will, without further
     instructions, sell any rights held for the account of Fund
     on the last trade date prior to the date of expiration of
     such rights.





                                7

          K.   Payment of Dividends and Other Distributions

          On the declaration of any dividend or other
     distribution on the shares of beneficial interest of any
     Portfolio ("Portfolio Shares") by the Board of Trustees of
     Fund, Fund shall deliver to Custodian instructions with
     respect thereto, including a copy of the Resolution of said
     Board of Trustees certified by the Secretary or an Assistant
     Secretary of Fund wherein there shall be set forth the
     record date as of which shareholders are entitled to receive
     such dividend or distribution, and the amount payable per
     share on such dividend or distribution.

          On the date specified in such Resolution for the
     payment of such dividend or other distribution, Custodian
     shall pay out of the monies held for the account of Fund,
     insofar as the same shall be available for such purposes,
     and credit to the account of the Dividend Disbursing Agent
     for Fund, such amount as may be necessary to pay the amount
     per share payable in cash on Portfolio Shares issued and
     outstanding on the record date established by such
     Resolution.

          L.   Portfolio Shares Purchased by Fund

          Whenever any Portfolio Shares are purchased by Fund,
     Fund or its agent shall advise Custodian of the aggregate
     dollar amount to be paid for such shares and shall confirm
     such advice in writing.  Upon receipt of such advice,
     Custodian shall charge such aggregate dollar amount to the
     custody account of Fund and either deposit the same in  the
     account maintained for the purpose of paying for the
     purchase of Portfolio Shares or deliver the same in
     accordance with such advice.

          M.   Portfolio Shares Purchased from Fund

          Whenever Portfolio Shares are purchased from Fund, Fund
     will deposit or cause to be deposited with Custodian the
     amount received for such shares.  Custodian shall not have
     any duty or responsibility to determine that Fund Shares
     purchased from Fund have been added to the proper
     shareholder account or accounts or that the proper number of
     such shares have been added to the shareholder records.

          N.   Proxies and Notices

          Custodian will promptly deliver or mail to Fund all
     proxies properly signed, all notices of meetings, all proxy
     statements and other notices, requests or announcements
     affecting or relating to securities held by Custodian for
     Fund and will, upon receipt of instructions, execute and

                                8  
<PAGE>   9

     deliver or cause its nominee to execute and deliver such
     proxies or other authorizations as may be required.  Except
     as provided by this Agreement or pursuant to instructions
     hereafter received by Custodian, neither it nor its nominee
     shall exercise any power inherent in any such securities,
     including any power to vote the same, or execute any proxy,
     power of attorney, or other similar instrument voting any of
     such securities, or give any consent, approval or waiver
     with respect thereto, or take any other similar action.

          O.   Disbursements

          Custodian will pay or cause to be paid insofar as funds
     are available for the purpose, bills, statements and other
     obligations of Fund (including but not limited to
     obligations in connection with the conversion, exchange or
     surrender of securities owned by Fund, interest charges,
     variation margin, dividend disbursements, taxes, management
     fees, administration-distribution fees, custodian fees,
     legal fees, auditors' fees, transfer agents' fees, brokerage
     commissions, compensation to personnel, and other operating
     expenses of Fund) pursuant to instructions of Fund setting
     forth the name of the person to whom payment is to be made,
     the amount of the payment, and the purpose of the payment.

          P.   Books, Records and Accounts

          Custodian acknowledges that all the records it shall
     prepare and maintain pursuant to this Agreement shall be the
     property of Fund and that upon request of Fund it shall make
     Fund's records available to it, along with such other
     information and data as are reasonably requested by Fund,
     for inspection, audit or copying, or turn said records over
     to Fund.

          Custodian shall, within a reasonable time, render to
     Fund as of the close of business on each day, a detailed
     statement of the amounts received or paid and of securities
     received or delivered for the account of Fund during said
     day.  Custodian shall, from time to time, upon request by
     Fund, render a detailed statement of the securities and
     monies held for Fund under this Agreement, and Custodian
     shall maintain such books and records as are necessary to
     enable it do so and shall permit such persons as are
     authorized by Fund, including Fund's independent public
     accountants, to examine such records or to confirm the
     contents of such records; and, if demanded, shall permit
     federal and state regulatory agencies to examine said
     securities, books and records.  Upon the written
     instructions of Fund or as demanded by federal or state
     regulatory agencies, Custodian shall instruct any sub-
     custodian to permit such persons as are authorized by Fund

                                9  
<PAGE>   10

     to examine the books, records and securities held by such
     sub-custodian which relate to Fund.

          Q.   Appointment of Sub-Custodian

          Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement,
     all or any of the monies or securities of Fund may be held
     in Custodian's own custody or in the custody of one or more
     other banks or trust companies acting as sub-custodians as
     may be approved by resolutions of Fund's Board of Trustees,
     evidenced by a copy thereof certified by the Secretary or
     Assistant Secretary of Fund.  Any sub-custodian must  have
     the qualifications required for custodians under the 1940
     Act unless exempted therefrom.  Any sub-custodian may
     participate directly or indirectly in the Depository Trust
     Company, the Treasury/Reserve Book Entry System, the
     Participants Trust Company and any other securities
     depository approved by the Board of Trustees of the Fund to
     the same extent and subject to the same conditions as
     provided hereunder.  Neither Custodian nor sub-custodian
     shall be entitled to reimbursement by Fund for any fees or
     expenses of any sub-custodian; provided that Custodian shall
     not be liable for, and Fund shall hold Custodian harmless
     from, the expenses of any special sub-custodian.  The
     appointment of a sub-custodian shall not relieve Custodian
     of any of its obligations hereunder; provided that Custodian
     shall be responsible to Fund for any loss, damage, or
     expense suffered or incurred by Fund resulting from the
     actions or omissions of a special sub-custodian only to the
     extent the special sub-custodian is liable to Custodian.

          R.   Multiple Portfolios

          If Fund shall issue shares of more than one Portfolio
     during the term hereof, Custodian agrees that all securities
     and other assets of Fund shall be segregated by Portfolio
     and all books and records, account values or actions shall
     be maintained, held, made or taken, as the case may be,
     separately for each Portfolio.

          S.   Other Custodian

          Pursuant to instructions, Custodian will transmit
     securities and moneys of Fund to The Chase Manhattan Bank,
     N.A., as custodian for Fund.

      4.  INSTRUCTIONS.

          A.   The term "instructions", as used herein, means
     written or oral instructions to Custodian from an authorized
     person of Fund.  Certified copies of resolutions of the
     Board of Trustees of Fund naming one or more persons

                                10  
<PAGE>   11

     authorized to give instructions in the name and on behalf of
     Fund may be received and accepted by Custodian as conclusive
     evidence of the authority of any person so to act and may be
     considered to be in full force and effect (and Custodian
     shall be fully protected in acting in reliance thereon)
     until receipt by Custodian of notice to the contrary.
     Unless the resolution authorizing any person to give
     instructions specifically requires that the approval of
     anyone else shall first have been obtained, Custodian shall
     be under no obligation to inquire into the right of the
     person giving such instructions to do so.  Notwithstanding
     any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 4, no
     authorizations or instructions received by Custodian from
     Fund shall be deemed to authorize or permit any trustee,
     officer, employee, or agent of Fund to withdraw any of the
     securities or monies of Fund upon the mere receipt of
     instructions from such trustee, officer, employee or agent.

          B.   No later than the next business day immediately
     following each oral instruction referred to herein, Fund
     shall give Custodian written confirmation of each such oral
     instruction.  Either party may electronically record any
     oral instruction whether given in person or via telephone.

      5.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF CUSTODIAN

          A.  Custodian shall hold harmless and indemnify Fund
     from and against any loss or liability arising out of
     Custodian's failure to comply with the terms of this
     Agreement or arising out of Custodian's negligence, willful
     misconduct, or bad faith.  Custodian may request and obtain
     the advice and opinion of counsel for Fund or of its own
     counsel with respect to questions or matters of law, and it
     shall be without liability to Fund for any action taken or
     omitted by it in good faith, in conformity with such advice
     or opinion.

          B.   If Fund requires Custodian in any capacity to
     take, with respect to any securities, any action which
     involves the payment of money by it, or which in Custodian's
     opinion might make it or its nominee liable for payment of
     monies or in any other way, Custodian shall be and be kept
     indemnified by Fund in an amount and form satisfactory to
     Custodian against any liability on account of such action.

          C.   Custodian shall be entitled to receive, and Fund
     agrees to pay to Custodian, on demand, reimbursement for
     such cash disbursements, costs and expenses as may be agreed
     upon from time to time by Custodian and Fund.

          D.   Custodian shall be protected in acting as
     custodian hereunder upon any instructions, advice, notice,

                                11  
<PAGE>   12

     request, consent, certificate or other instrument or paper
     reasonably appearing to it to be genuine and to have been
     properly executed and shall, unless otherwise specifically
     provided herein, be entitled to receive as conclusive proof
     of any fact or matter required to be ascertained from Fund
     hereunder, a certificate signed by Fund's President, or
     other officer specifically authorized for such purpose.

          E.   Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
     Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inquire
     into, and shall not be liable for:

               (1)  The validity of the issue of any securities
          purchased by or for Fund, the legality of the purchase
          thereof or evidence of ownership required by Fund to be
          received by Custodian, or the propriety of the decision
          to purchase or amount paid therefor;

               (2)  The legality of the sales of any securities
          by or for Fund, or the propriety of the amount paid
          therefor;

               (3)  The legality of the issue or sale of any
          shares of Fund, or the sufficiency of the amount to be
          received therefor;

               (4)  The legality of the purchase of any shares of
          Fund, or the propriety of the amount to be paid
          therefor; or

               (5)  The legality of the declaration of any
          dividend by Fund, or the legality of the issue of any
          shares of Fund in payment of any share dividend.

          F.   Custodian shall not be liable for, or considered
     to be the custodian of, any money represented by any check,
     draft, wire transfer, clearing house funds, uncollected
     funds, or instrument for the payment of money received by it
     on behalf of Fund, until Custodian actually receives such
     money, provided only that it shall advise Fund promptly if
     it fails to receive any such money in the ordinary course of
     business, and use its best efforts and cooperate with Fund
     toward the end that such money shall be received.

          G.   Subject to the obligations of Custodian under
     Section 3.B. hereof, Custodian shall not be responsible for
     loss occasioned by the acts, neglects, defaults or
     insolvency of any broker, bank, trust company, or any other
     person with whom Custodian may deal in the absence of negli-
     gence, misconduct or bad faith on the part of Custodian.



                                12  
<PAGE>   13

          H.   Custodian or any sub-custodian shall provide Fund
     for its approval by its Board of Trustees agreements with
     banks or trust companies which will act as sub-custodian for
     Fund pursuant to this Agreement; and, as set forth in
     Section 3.B hereof, Custodian shall be responsible for the
     monies and securities of the Fund held by it or its nominees
     or sub-custodians under this Agreement, but not for monies
     and securities of the Fund held by any special sub-custodian
     except to the extent the special sub-custodian is liable to
     Custodian.

      6.  COMPENSATION.

     Fund shall pay to Custodian such compensation at such times
as may from time to time be agreed upon in writing by Custodian
and Fund.  Custodian may charge such compensation against monies
held by it for the account of Fund.  Custodian shall also be
entitled, notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 5B or 5C
hereof, to charge against any monies held by it for the account
of Fund the amount of any loss, damage, liability or expense for
which it shall be entitled to reimbursement under the provisions
of this Agreement.  Custodian shall not be entitled to
reimbursement by Fund for any loss or expenses of any sub-
custodian; provided that Custodian shall not be liable for, and
Fund shall hold Custodian harmless from, the expenses of any
special sub-custodian.

      7.  TERMINATION.

     Either party to this Agreement may terminate the same by
notice in writing, delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the
other party hereto and received not less than sixty (60) days
prior to the date upon which such termination shall take effect.
Upon termination of this Agreement, Fund shall pay to Custodian
such compensation for its reimbursable disbursements, costs and
expenses paid or incurred to such date and Fund shall use its
best efforts to obtain a successor custodian.  Unless the holders
of a majority of the outstanding shares of Fund vote to have the
securities, funds and other properties held under this Agreement
delivered and paid over to some other person, firm or corporation
specified in the vote, having not less than Two Million Dollars
($2,000,000) aggregate capital, surplus and undivided profits, as
shown by its last published report, and meeting such other
qualifications for custodian as set forth in the Bylaws of Fund,
the Board of Trustees of Fund shall, forthwith upon giving or
receiving notice of termination of this Agreement, appoint as
successor custodian a bank or trust company having such
qualifications.  Custodian shall, upon termination of this
Agreement, deliver to the successor custodian so specified or
appointed, at custodian's office, all securities then held by
Custodian hereunder, duly endorsed and in form for transfer, and
all funds and other properties of Fund deposited with or held by

                                13  
<PAGE>   14

Custodian hereunder, and shall cooperate in effecting changes in
book-entries at the Depository Trust Company, the
Treasury/Federal Reserve Book-Entry System, the Participants
Trust Company and any other securities depository holding assets
of the Fund.  In the event no such vote has been adopted by the
shareholders of Fund and no written order designating a successor
custodian shall have been delivered to Custodian on or before the
date when such termination shall become effective, then Custodian
shall deliver the securities, funds and properties of Fund to a
bank or trust company at the selection of Custodian and meeting
the qualifications for custodian, if any, set forth in the Bylaws
of Fund and having not less than Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000)
aggregate capital, surplus and undivided profits, as shown by its
last published report.  Upon either such delivery to a successor
custodian, Custodian shall have no further obligations or
liabilities under this Agreement.  Thereafter such bank or trust
company shall be the successor custodian under this Agreement and
shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for its services.
In the event that no such successor custodian can be found, Fund
will submit to its shareholders, before permitting delivery of
the cash and securities owned by Fund to anyone other than a
successor custodian, the question of whether Fund shall be
liquidated or shall function without a custodian.  Not-
withstanding the foregoing requirement as to delivery upon
termination of this Agreement, Custodian may make any other
delivery of the securities, funds and property of Fund which
shall be permitted by the 1940 Act and Fund's Agreement and
Declaration of Trust and Bylaws then in effect.  Except as
otherwise provided herein, neither this Agreement nor any portion
thereof may be assigned by Custodian without the consent of Fund,
authorized or approved by a resolution of its Board of Trustees.

      8.  NOTICES.

     Notices, requests, instructions and other writings received
by Fund at 120 South LaSalle Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603 or
at such other address as Fund may have designated by certified
resolution of the Board of Trustees to Custodian and notices,
requests, instructions and other writings received by Custodian
at its offices at 21 West 10th Street, Kansas City, Missouri
64105, or to such other address as it may have designated to Fund
in writing, shall be deemed to have been properly given

          G.   If any part, term or provision of this Agreement
     is by the courts held to be illegal, in conflict with any
     law or otherwise invalid, the remaining portion or portions
     shall be considered severable and not be affected, and the
     rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and
     enforced as if the Agreement did not contain the particular
     part, term or provision held to be illegal or invalid.

          H.   All parties hereto are expressly put on notice of
     Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, which is on file
     with the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and
     the limitation of shareholder and trustee liability
     contained therein.  This Agreement has been executed by and
     on behalf of Fund by its representatives as such
     representatives and not individually, and the obligations of
     Fund hereunder are not binding upon any of the Trustees,
     officers or shareholders of Fund individually but are
     binding upon only the assets and property of Fund.  With
     respect to any claim by Custodian for recovery of that
     portion of the compensation (or any other liability of Fund
     arising hereunder) allocated to a particular Portfolio,
     whether in accordance with the express terms hereof or
     otherwise, Custodian shall have recourse solely against the
     assets of that Portfolio to satisfy such claim and shall
     have no recourse against the assets of any other Portfolio
     for such purpose.

          I.   This Agreement, together with the Fee Schedule, is
     the entire contract between the parties relating to the
     subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements.

                              FOREIGN CUSTODY AGREEMENT

        AGREEMENT dated __________  __, 1995 between THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK,
N.A ("Bank") and KEMPER VALUE PLUS GROWTH FUND ("Fund").

     1.   Custody Account.  The Bank agrees to establish and maintain (a) a
custody account in the name of the Fund ("Custody Account") for any and all
stocks, shares, bonds, debentures, notes, mortgages or other obligations for
the payment of money  and any certificates, receipts, warrants or other
instruments representing rights to receive, purchase or subscribe for the same
or evidencing or representing any other rights or interests therein and other
similar property (hereinafter called "Securities") and from time to time
received by the Bank or its subcustodian (as defined in the last sentence of
Section 3) for the account of the Fund, and (b) a deposit account in the name
of the Fund ("Deposit Account") for any and all cash in any currency received
by the Bank or its subcustodian for the account of the Fund, which cash shall
not be subject to withdrawal by draft or check.

     2.   Maintenance of Securities Abroad.  Securities in the Custody
Account shall be held in the country or other  jurisdiction as shall be
specified from time to time in Instructions, provided that such country or
other jurisdiction shall be one in which the principal trading market for such
Securities is located or the country or other jurisdiction in
<PAGE>   2

which such Securities are to be presented for payment or are  acquired for the
Custody Account and cash in the Deposit Account  shall be credited to an
account in such amounts and in the  country or other jurisdiction as shall be
specified from time to  time in Instructions, provided that such country or
other  jurisdiction shall be one in which such cash is the legal currency for
the payment of public or private debts.

         3.   Eligible Foreign Custodians and Securities  Depositories.  The
Fund's Board of Trustees authorizes the Bank  to hold the Securities in the
Custody Account and the cash in the  Deposit Account in custody and deposit
accounts, respectively,  which have been established by the Bank with one of
its branches, a branch of a qualified U.S. bank, an eligible foreign
custodian or an eligible foreign securities depository; provided, however,
that the Bank has recommended and the Board has approved the use  of, and the
Bank's contract with, such eligible foreign custodian  or eligible foreign
securities depository by resolution, and a  certified copy of such resolution
has been provided to the Bank.  Furthermore, if one of its branches, a branch
of a qualified U.S.  bank or an eligible foreign custodian is selected to act
as the  Bank's subcustodian to hold any of the Securities or cash, such  entity
is authorized to hold such Securities or cash in its account with any eligible
foreign securities depository in which  it participates.  For purposes of this
Agreement (a) "qualified U.S. bank" shall mean a qualified U.S. bank as defined
in Rule 17f-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("Investment




                                       2
<PAGE>   3

Company Act"); (b) "eligible foreign custodian" shall mean (i) a  banking
institution or trust company incorporated or organized  under the laws of a
country other than the United States that is  regulated as such by that
country's government or an agency  thereof and that has shareholders' equity in
excess of $200  million in U.S. currency (or a foreign currency equivalent
thereof), (ii) a majority owned direct or indirect subsidiary of  a qualified
U.S. bank or bank holding company that is  incorporated or organized under the
laws of a country other than the United States and that has shareholders'
equity in excess of  $100 million in U.S. currency (or a foreign currency
equivalent  thereof) or (iii) a banking institution or trust company
incorporated or organized under the laws of a country other than  the United
States or a majority owned direct or indirect  subsidiary of a qualified U.S.
bank or bank holding company that  is incorporated or organized under the laws
of a country other  than the United States which has such other qualifications
as  shall be authorized or permitted by a rule, regulation, interpretation or
exemptive order promulgated by or under the  authority of the Securities and
Exchange Commission, specified in  Instructions and approved by the Bank; and
(c) "eligible foreign  securities depository" shall mean a securities
depository or  clearing agency, incorporated or organized under the laws of a
country other than the United States, which operates (i) the central system for
handling of securities or equivalent


                                     3    
<PAGE>   4

book-entries in that country or (ii) a transnational system for  the central
handling of securities or equivalent book-entries.  

        Hereinafter the term "subcustodian" will refer to any branch  of a
qualified U.S. bank, any eligible foreign custodian or any  eligible foreign
securities depository with which the Bank has  entered an agreement of the type
contemplated hereunder regarding Securities and/or cash held in or to be
acquired for the Custody Account or the Deposit Account.

         4.   Use of Subcustodian.  With respect to Securities and  other
assets which are maintained by the Bank in the physical  custody of a
subcustodian pursuant to Section 3 (as used in this  Section 4, the term
"Securities" means such Securities and other  assets),

                (a)  The Bank will identify on its books as belonging to the
         Fund any Securities held by such subcustodian.

                (b)  In the event that a subcustodian permits any of the
         Securities placed in its care to be held in an eligible foreign
         securities depository, such subcustodian will be required by its
         agreement with the Bank to identify on its books such Securities as
         being held for the account of the Bank as a custodian for its
         customers.

                (c)  Any Securities in the Custody Account held by a
         subcustodian of the Bank will be subject only to the instructions of
         the Bank or its agents; and any Securities held in an eligible foreign
         securities depository for the




                                       4
<PAGE>   5

         account of a subcustodian will be subject only to the instructions
         of such subcustodian.          

                (d)  The Bank will only deposit Securities in an account with a
         subcustodian which includes exclusively the assets held by the Bank
         for its customers, and the Bank will cause such account to be
         designated by such subcustodian as a special custody account for the
         exclusive benefit of customers of the Bank.

                (e)  Any agreement the Bank shall enter into with a
         subcustodian with respect to the holding of Securities shall require
         that (i) the Securities are not subject to any right, charge, security
         interest, lien or claim of any kind in favor of such subcustodian
         except for their safe custody  or administration and (ii) beneficial
         ownership of such Securities is freely transferable without the
         payment of money or value other than for safe custody or
         administration; provided, however, that the foregoing shall not apply
         to the extent that any of the above-mentioned rights, charges, etc.
         result from any compensation or other expenses arising with respect to
         the safekeeping of Securities pursuant to such agreement or from any
         arrangements made by the Fund with any such subcustodian.

                (f)  The Bank shall allow independent public accountants of the
         Fund such reasonable access to the records of the Bank relating to the
         Securities held in the Custody Account as is required by such
         accountants in





                                       5 
<PAGE>   6

         connection with their examination of the books and records pertaining  
         to the affairs of the Fund.  The Bank shall, subject to restrictions
         under applicable law, also obtain from any subcustodian with which the
         Bank maintains the physical possession of any Securities in the
         Custody Account an undertaking to permit independent public
         accountants of the Fund such reasonable access to the records of such  
         subcustodian as may be required in connection with their examination
         of the books and records pertaining to the affairs of the Fund.  The
         Bank shall furnish to the Fund such reports (or portions thereof) of
         the Bank's external auditors as relate directly to the Bank's system
         of internal accounting controls applicable to the Bank's duties under
         this Agreement.  The Bank shall use its best efforts to obtain and     
         furnish the Fund with similar reports with respect to each eligible
         foreign custodian and eligible foreign securities depository hold
         Securities of the Fund.

                (g)  The Bank will supply to the Fund from time to time as
         mutually agreed upon a statement in respect to any Securities in the
         Custody Account held by a subcustodian, including an identification of
         the entity having possession of the Securities, and the Bank will send
         to the Fund an advice or notification of any transfers of Securities
         to or from the Custody Account, indicating, as to Securities acquired
         for the Fund, the identity of the entity having




                                       6
<PAGE>   7

         physical possession of such Securities.  In the absence of the filing
         in writing with the Bank by the Fund of exceptions or objections to
         any such statement within sixty (60) days following receipt of the
         statement, the Fund shall be deemed to have approved such statement;
         and in such case or upon written approval of the Fund of any such
         statement the Bank shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released,
         relieved and discharged with respect to all matters and things set
         forth in such statement as though such statement had been settled by
         the decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in an action in
         which the Fund and all persons having any equity interest in the Fund
         were parties.

                (h)     The Bank hereby warrants to the Fund that in its
         opinion, after due inquiry, the established procedures to be followed
         by each of its branches, each branch of a qualified U.S. bank, each
         eligible foreign custodian and each eligible foreign securities
         depository holding the Fund's Securities pursuant to this Agreement
         afford protection for such Securities at least equal to that afforded
         by the Bank's established procedures with respect to similar
         securities held by the Bank (and its securities depositories) in New
         York.

         5.   Deposit Account Payments.  Subject to the provisions of Section 7,
the Bank shall make, or cause its subcustodians to make, payments of cash
credited to the Deposit Account only



                                       7
<PAGE>   8

                (a)  in connection with the purchase of Securities for the
         Fund and the delivery of such Securities to, or the crediting of such
         Securities to the account of, the Bank or its subcustodian, each such
         payment to be made at prices as confirmed by Instructions (as defined
         in Section 9 hereof) from Authorized persons (as defined in Section 10
         hereof);

                (b)  for the purchase or redemption of shares of the capital
         stock of the Fund and the delivery to, or crediting to the account of,
         the Bank or its subcustodian of such shares to be so purchased or
         redeemed;

                (c)  for the payment for the account of the Fund of dividends,
         interest, taxes, management or supervisory fees, capital distributions
         or operating expenses;

                (d)  for the payments to be made in connection with the
         conversion, exchange or surrender of Securities held in the Custody
         Account;

                (e)  for transmittal either to United Missouri Bank of Kansas
         City, National Association, or to Investors Fiduciary Trust Company,
         Custodian for the Fund;

                (f)  for other proper corporate purposes of the Fund; or

                (g)  upon the termination of this Custody Agreement as
         hereinafter set forth.

All payments of cash for a purpose permitted by subsection (a), (b), (c), (d)
or (e) of this Section 5 will be made only upon  receipt by the Bank of
Instructions from Authorized Persons which


                                       8

  
<PAGE>   9

shall specify the purpose for which the payment is to be made and  the
applicable subsection of this Section 5.  In the case of any  payment to be
made for the purpose permitted by subsection (f) of  this Section 5, the Bank
must first receive a certified copy of a  resolution of the Board adequately
describing such payment,  declaring such purpose to be a proper purpose, and
naming the  person or persons to whom such payment is to be made.  Any  payment
pursuant to subsection (g) of this Section 5 will be made  in accordance with
Section 17.

         In the event that any payment made under this Section 5  exceeds the
funds available in the Deposit Account, the Bank may,  in its discretion,
advance the Fund an amount equal to such  excess and such advance shall be
deemed a loan from the Bank to  the Fund, payable on demand, bearing interest
at the rate of  interest customarily charged by the Bank on similar loans.

         If the Bank causes the Deposit Account to be credited on the  payable
date for interest, dividends or redemptions, the Fund will promptly return
to the Bank any such amount or property so  credited upon oral or written
notification that neither the Bank  nor its subcustodian can collect such
amount or property in the  ordinary course of business.  The Bank or its
subcustodian, as  the case may be, shall have no duty or obligation to
institute  legal proceedings, file a claim or proof of claim in any  insolvency
proceeding to take any other action with respect to  the collection of such
amount or property beyond its ordinary  collection procedures.

         6.   Custody Account Transactions.  Subject to the  provisions of
Section 7, Securities in the Custody Account will be transferred, exchanged or
delivered by the Bank or its subcustodians only

                (a)  upon sale of such Securities for the Fund and receipt by
         the Bank or its subcustodian only of payment therefor, each such
         payment to be in the amount confirmed by Instructions from Authorized
         persons;

                (b)  when such Securities are called, redeemed or retired, or
         otherwise become payable;

                (c)  in exchange for or upon conversion into other Securities
         along or other Securities and cash pursuant to any plan or merger,
         consolidation, reorganization, recapitalization or readjustment;

                (d)  upon conversion of such Securities pursuant to their
         terms into other Securities;

                (e)  upon exercise of subscription, purchase or other similar
         rights represented by such Securities;

                (f)  for the purpose of exchanging interim receipts or 
         temporary Securities for definitive Securities;

                (g)  for the purpose of delivery either to United Missouri Bank
         of Kansas City, National Association, or to Investors Fiduciary Trust
         Company, as Custodian for the Fund;





                                       10
<PAGE>   11

                (h)  for the purpose of redeeming in kind shares of the Fund
         against delivery to the Bank or its subcustodian of such shares to be
         so redeemed;

                (i)  for other proper trust purposes of the Fund;

                (j)  upon the termination of this Custody Agreement as
         hereinafter set forth.

All transfers, exchanges or deliveries of Securities in the Custody Account for
a purpose permitted by either subsection (a), (b), (c), (d), (e), (f) or (g) of
this Section 6 will be made, except as provided in Section 8, only upon receipt
by the Bank of Instructions from Authorized Persons which shall specify the
purpose of the transfer, exchange or delivery to be made and the applicable
subsection of this Section 6.  In the case of any transfer or delivery to be
made for the purpose permitted by subsection (h) of this Section 6, the Bank
must first receive Instructions from Authorized Persons specifying the shares
held  by the Bank or its subcustodian to be so transferred or delivered and
naming the person or persons to whom transfers or delivery of such shares shall
be made.  In the case of any transfer, exchange or delivery to be made for the
purpose permitted by subsection (i) of this Section 6, the Bank must first
receive a certified copy of a resolution of the Board adequately describing
such transfer, exchange or delivery, declaring such purpose to be a proper
trust purpose, and naming the person or person to whom delivery of such
Securities shall be made.  Any transfer or




                                       11
<PAGE>   12

delivery pursuant to subsection (j) of this Section 6 will be made in   
accordance with Section 17.

        7.   Custody Account Procedures.  With respect to any transaction
involving Securities held in or to be acquired for  the Custody Account, the
Bank in its discretion may cause the  Deposit Account to be credited on the
contractual settlement date  with the proceeds of any sale or exchange of
Securities from the  Custody Account and to be debited on the contractual
settlement  date for the cost of Securities purchased or acquired for the 
Custody Account. The Bank may reverse any such credit or debit  if the
transaction with respect to which such credit or debit  were made fails to
settle within a reasonable period, determined  by the Bank in its discretion,
after the contractual settlement  date, except that if any Securities delivered
pursuant to this Section 7 are returned by the recipient thereof, the Bank may 
cause any such credits and debits to be reversed at any time. With respect to
any transactions as to which the Bank does not  determine so to credit or debit
the Deposit Account, the proceeds  from the sale or exchange of Securities will
be credited and the  cost of such Securities purchased or acquired will be
debited to  the Deposit Account on the date such proceeds or Securities are 
received by the Bank.   

        Notwithstanding the preceding paragraph, settlement and  payment for
Securities received for, and delivery of Securities  out of, the Custody
Account may be effected in accordance with  the customary or established
securities trading or securities

                                      12 
<PAGE>   13

processing practices and procedures in the jurisdiction or market  in which the
transaction occurs, including, without limitation,  delivering Securities to
the purchaser thereof or to a dealer  therefor (or an agent for such purchaser
or dealer) against a  receipt with the expectation of receiving later payment
for such Securities from such purchaser or dealer.

         8.   Actions of the Bank.  Until the Bank receives instructions from
Authorized Persons to the contrary, the Bank will, or will instruct its
subcustodian to,

                 (a)  present for payment any Securities in the Custody
         Account which are called, redeemed or retired or otherwise become
         payable and all coupons and other income items which call for
         payment upon presentation to the extent that the Bank or
         subcustodian is aware of such opportunities for payment, and hold
         cash received upon presentation of such Securities in accordance
         with the provisions of Sections 2, 3 and 4 of this Agreement;

                 (b)  in respect of Securities in the Custody Account,
         execute in the name of the Fund such ownership and other certificates
         as may be required to obtain payments in respect thereof;

                 (c)  exchange interim receipts or temporary Securities  in the
         Custody Account for definitive Securities;

                 (d)  convert moneys received with respect to Securities  of
         foreign issue into United States dollars or any other currency
         necessary to effect any transaction involving the



                                       13
<PAGE>   14

         Securities whenever it is practicable to do so through customary
         banking channels, using any method or agency available, including,
         but not limited to, the facilities of the Bank, its subsidiaries,
         affiliates or subcustodians; and

                 (e)  in the event of any loss of Securities or Cash, use its
         best efforts to ascertain the circumstances relating   to such loss
         and promptly report the same to the Fund.

         9.   Instructions.  As used in this Agreement, the term
"Instructions" means instructions of the Fund received by the  Bank, via
telephone, telex, TWX, facsimile transmission, bank  wire or other teleprocess
or electronic instruction system  acceptable to the Bank which the Bank
reasonably believes in good faith to have been given by Authorized Persons or
which are  transmitted with proper testing or authentication pursuant to  terms
and conditions which the Bank may specify.

        Any Instructions delivered to the Bank by telephone shall promptly
thereafter be confirmed in writing by an Authorized  Person (which confirmation
may bear the facsimile signature of such Person), but the Fund will hold the
Bank harmless for its  failure to send such confirmation in writing, the
failure of such  confirmation to conform to the telephone instructions received
or  the Bank's failure to produce such confirmation at any subsequent  time
provided that the Bank has timely advised the Fund of its  failure to send such
confirmation in writing or the failure of such confirmation to conform to the
telephone instructions  received.  Unless otherwise expressly provided, all
Instructions


                                       14
      
<PAGE>   15

shall continue in full force and effect until cancelled or  superseded.  If the
Bank requires test arrangements,  authentication methods or other security
devices to be used with  respect to instructions, any Instructions given by the
Fund  thereafter shall be given and processed in accordance with such  terms
and conditions for the use of such arrangements, methods or  devices as the
Bank may put into effect and modify from time to  time.  The Fund shall
safeguard any testkeys, identification  codes or other security devices which
the Bank shall make available to it.  The Bank may electronically record any
Instructions given by telephone, and any other telephone discussions, with
respect to the Custody Account.

         10.  Authorized Persons.  As used in this Agreement, the  term
"Authorized Persons" means such officers or such agents of  the Fund as have
been designated by a resolution of the Board, a  certified copy of which has
been provided to the Bank, to act on  behalf of the Fund in the performance of
any acts which  Authorized Persons may do under this Agreement.  Such persons
shall continue to be Authorized Persons until such time as the  Bank receives
instructions from Authorized Persons that any such officer or agent is no
longer an Authorized Person.

         11.  Nominees.  Securities in the Custody Account which are
ordinarily held in registered form may be registered in the name  of the Bank's
nominee or, as to any Securities in the possession  of an entity other than the
Bank, in the name of such entity's  nominee.  The Fund agrees to hold any such
nominee harmless from


                                       15
<PAGE>   16


any liability as a holder of record of such Securities.  The Bank  may without
notice to the Fund cause any such Securities to cease  to be registered in the
name of any such nominee and to be  registered in the name of the Fund.  In the
event that any  Securities registered in the name of the Bank's nominee or held
by one of its subcustodians and registered in the name of such subcustodian's
nominee are called for partial redemption by the  issuer of such Security, the
Bank may allot, or cause to be  allotted, the called portion to the respective
beneficial holders  of such class of security in any manner the Bank deems to
be fair  and equitable.

         12.  Standard of Care.  The Bank shall be responsible for  the
performance of only such duties as are set forth herein or  contained in
Instructions given to the Bank by Authorized Persons  which are not contrary to
the provisions of this Agreement.  The  Bank will use reasonable care with
respect to the safekeeping of  Securities in the Custody Account.  The Bank
shall be liable to  the Fund for any loss which shall occur as the result of
the  failure of a subcustodian or an eligible foreign securities  depository
engaged by such subcustodian to exercise reasonable  care with respect to the
safekeeping of such Securities and other  assets to the same extent that the
Bank would be liable to the  Fund if the Bank were holding such Securities and
other assets in  New York.  In the event of any loss to the Fund by reason of
the failure of the Bank or its subcustodian or an eligible foreign  securities
depository engaged by such subcustodian to utilize



                                       16
<PAGE>   17

reasonable care, the Bank shall be liable to the Fund to the  extent of the
Fund's damages, to be determined based on the  market value of the property
which is the subject of the loss at  the date of discovery of such loss and
without reference to any  special conditions or circumstances.  The Bank shall
be held to  the exercise of reasonable care in carrying out this Agreement  but
shall be indemnified by, and shall be without liability to,  the Fund for any
action taken or omitted by the Bank in good  faith without negligence.  The
Bank shall be entitled to rely,  and may act, on advice of counsel (who may be
counsel for the  Fund) on all matters and shall be without liability for any
action reasonably taken or omitted pursuant to such advice.

         The Bank need not maintain any insurance for the benefit of  the Fund.
However, the Bank represents and warrants that it  presently maintains a
bankers' blanket bond ("Bond") which  provides standard fidelity and
non-negligent loss coverage with  respect to securities which may be held by
the Bank and  securities which may be held in the offices of foreign banks and
foreign securities depositories which may be utilized by the Bank  pursuant to
this Agreement.  The Bank agrees that if at any time  the Bank for any reason
discontinues such coverage, it shall  immediately notify the Fund in writing.
The Bank represents that  only the named insured on the Bond, which includes
the Bank but  not any of the Bank's customers, is directly protected against
loss.  The Bank represents that while it might resist a claim of one of its
customers to recover for a loss not covered by the



                                       17
   
<PAGE>   18

Bond, as a practical matter, where a claim is brought and loss is  possibly
covered by the Bond, the Bank would give notice of the  claim to its insurer,
and the insurer would normally determine  whether to defend the claim against
the Bank or to pay the claim  on behalf of the Bank.

         All collections of funds or other property paid or  distributed in
respect of Securities in the Custody Account shall  be made at the risk of the
Fund.  The Bank shall have no  liability for any loss occasioned by delay in
the actual receipt  of notice by the Bank or by its subcustodian of any
payment,  redemption or other transaction regarding Securities in the  Custody
Account in respect of which the Bank has agreed to take  action as provided in
Section 8 hereof.  The Bank shall not be  liable for any action taken in good
faith upon Instructions or upon any certified copy of any resolution of the
Board and may  rely on the genuineness of any such documents which it may in
good faith believe to be validly executed.  The Bank shall not be liable for
any loss resulting from, or caused by, the direction  of the Fund to maintain
custody of any Securities or cash in a  foreign country including, but not
limited to, losses resulting  from nationalization, expropriation, currency
restrictions, acts  of war or terrorism, insurrection, revolution, nuclear
fusion, fission or radiation, or acts of God.

         13.  Compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission  Rules and
Orders.  To the extent that a condition of a rule,  regulation, interpretation
or exemptive order promulgated by or


                                       18
<PAGE>   19

under the authority of the Securities and Exchange Commission  applies to the
Bank or the Fund each shall be solely responsible  to assure that this
Agreement and the maintenance of Securities  and cash under this Agreement
complies with any such rule,  regulation, interpretation or exemptive order.

         14. Corporate Action.  The Bank or its subcustodian is  to forward
promptly to the Fund all communications relative to  the Securities in the
Custody Account.  Such communications as  call for voting or the exercise of
rights or other specific  action (including material relative to legal
proceedings intended  to be transmitted to security holders) shall be
transmitted to  the Fund by means which will permit the Fund to take timely
action.  The Bank or its subcustodian will cause its nominee to  execute and
deliver to the Fund proxies relating to Securities in  the Custody Account
registered in the name of such nominee but  without indicating the manner in
which such proxies are to be voted.  Proxies relating to bearer Securities will
be delivered  in accordance with written instructions from Authorized Persons.

         Bank hereby agrees that Bank shall create, maintain, and  retain all
records relating to its activities and obligations  under this Agreement in
such manner as will meet the obligations  of the Fund under the Investment
Company Act, particularly  Section 31 thereof and Rules 31a-1, 31a-2, and 31a-3
thereunder,  and applicable Federal, state and foreign tax laws and other laws
or administrative rules or procedures, in each case as currently  in effect,
which may be applicable to the Fund.  All records so


                                       19
<PAGE>   20

maintained in connection with the performance of its duties under  this
Agreement shall be preserved and maintained as required by  regulation and, in
the event of termination of the Agreement,  shall be available to the Fund or
its agent upon request.

         15. Fees and Expenses.  The Fund agrees to pay to the Bank from time
to time such compensation for its services  pursuant to this Agreement as may
be mutually agreed upon in  writing from time to time including reimbursement
of the Bank's  reasonable out-of-pocket or incidental expenses, including legal
fees.  The Fund hereby agrees to hold the Bank harmless from any liability or
loss resulting from any taxes or other governmental charges, and any expenses
related thereto, which may be imposed,  or assessed with respect to the Custody
Account or any Securities  in the Custody Account and also agrees to hold the
Bank, its  subcustodians, and their respective nominees harmless from any
liability as a record holder of Securities in the Custody  Account.  The Bank
is authorized to charge any account of the  Fund for such items and the Bank
shall have a lien on Securities  in the Custody Account and on cash in the
Deposit Account for any  amount owing to the Bank from time to time under this
Agreement.

         16.  Effectiveness.  This Agreement shall be effective on  the date
first noted above; provided, however, that the Board has  provided the Bank a
certified copy of a resolution that (i) approves each of the subcustodians
listed in Appendix A  hereto and the terms of the custody agreement between the
Bank and each such subcustodian attached as Exhibits I through


                                       20

        
<PAGE>   21

hereof, and (ii) states that the Board has determined that the  use of each
such subcustodian and the terms of each such  subcustody agreement are
consistent with the best interests of  the Fund and its shareholders.

         17.  Termination.  This Agreement may be terminated by the  Fund or
the Bank by 60 days written notice to the other, sent by registered mail,
provided that any termination by the Fund shall be authorized by a resolution
of its Board, a certified copy of  which shall accompany such notice of
termination, and provided  further, that such resolution shall specify the
names of the  persons to whom the Bank shall deliver the Securities in the
Custody Account and to whom the cash in the Deposit Account shall  be paid.  If
notice of termination is given by the Bank, the Fund  shall, within 60 days
following the giving of such notice,  deliver to the Bank a certified copy of a
resolution of its Board  specifying the names of the persons to whom the Bank
shall  deliver the Securities in the Custody Account and to whom the  cash in
the Deposit Account shall be paid.  In either case the  Bank will deliver such
Securities and cash to the persons so  specified, after deducting therefrom any
amounts which the Bank  determines to be owed to it under Section 15.  If
within 60 days  following the giving of a notice of termination by the Bank,
the  Bank does not receive from the Fund a certified copy of a  resolution of
the Board specifying the names of the persons to  whom the Bank shall deliver
the Securities in the Custody Account  and to whom the cash in the Deposit
Account shall be paid, the




                                       21
<PAGE>   22


Bank, at its election, may deliver such Securities and pay such  cash to a bank
or trust company doing business in the State of  New York to be held and
disposed of pursuant to the provisions of  this Agreement, or to Authorized
Persons, or may continue to hold such Securities and cash until a certified
copy of one or more  resolutions as aforesaid is delivered to the Bank.
Concurrently  with the delivery of such Securities, the Bank shall deliver to
the Company, or such other person as the Company shall instruct,  the records
referred to in Section 14 hereof which are in the  possession or control of the
Bank.  The obligations of the  parties hereto regarding the use of reasonable
care, indemnities  and payment of fees and expenses shall survive the
termination of  this Agreement.

         18.  Notices.  Any notice or other communication from the  Fund to the
Bank is to be sent to the office of the Bank at 1211  Avenue of the Americas
(33rd Floor), New York, New York 10036,  Attention Global Custody Division, or
such other address as may  hereafter be given to the Company in accordance with
the notice  provisions hereunder, and any notice from the Bank to the Fund is
to be mailed postage prepaid, addressed to the Fund at the address appearing
below, or as it may hereafter be changed on the  Bank's records in accordance
with notice hereunder from the Fund.

         19.  Governing Law and Successors and Assigns.  This  Agreement shall
be governed by the law of the State of New York  and shall not be assignable by
either party, but shall bind the  successors and assigns of the Fund and the
Bank.




                                       22

     20.  Headings.  The headings of the paragraphs hereof are  included
for convenience of reference only and do not form a part of this Agreement.

     21.  Additional Portfolios.  If the Fund shall issue shares  of more than
one portfolio during the term hereof, the Bank  agrees that all securities and
other assets of the Fund shall be segregated by portfolio and all books and
records, account values or actions shall be maintained, held, made or taken,
as the case may be, separately for each portfolio.  Other than as encompassed
by the preceding sentence, references in this Agreement to "the Fund" are
applicable either to the entire trust or to a particular portfolio or
portfolios, as the context may make  reasonable and appropriate.  If the Fund
has more than one portfolio, instructions shall designate the portfolio or
portfolios to which they apply.

     22.  Disclaimer.  All parties hereto are expressly put on  notice of the
Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust and all amendments thereto, all of
which are on file with the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and
the limitation of shareholder and trustee liability contained therein.  This
Agreement has been executed by and on behalf of the Fund by its representatives
as such representatives and not individually, and the obligations of the Fund 
hereunder are not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers or shareholders of
the Fund individually  but are binding upon only the assets and property of the
Fund.  With respect to any claim by Bank for recovery of that portion of



                                       23


   
<PAGE>   24

the compensation (or any other liability of the Fund arising  hereunder)
allocated to a particular portfolio, whether in  accordance with the express
terms hereof or otherwise, the Bank  shall have recourse solely against the
assets of that portfolio  to satisfy such claim and shall have no recourse
against the  assets of any other portfolio for such purpose.

    6.  Efficient Operation of IFTC System. 

        A.  In connection with the performance of its

            responsible for the accurate and efficient
            functioning of its system at all times,

            (1) The accuracy of the entries in IFTC's records
                reflecting purchase and redemption orders and
                other instructions received by IFTC from
                dealers, shareholders, Fund or its principal
                underwriter.

                persons.

            (5) The deposit daily in Fund's appropriate
                special bank account of all checks and
                payments received from dealers or
                shareholders for investment in shares.

            (6) The requiring of proper forms of
                instructions, signatures and signature
                guarantees and any necessary documents
                supporting the rightfulness of transfers,
                redemptions and other shareholder account
                transactions, all in conformance with IFTC's
                present procedures with such changes as may
                be deemed reasonably appropriate by IFTC or

                of Fund.

            (7) The maintenance of a current duplicate set of

                of any breakdown or disaster disrupting its
                main operation.

    7.  Indemnification. 

        A.  Fund shall indemnify and hold IFTC harmless from
            and against any and all claims, actions, suits,
            losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees,
            payments, expenses and liabilities arising out of
            or attributable to any action or omission by IFTC
            pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with
            the agency relationship created by this
            Agreement, provided that IFTC has acted in good
            faith, without negligence and without willful
            misconduct.

        B.  IFTC shall indemnify and hold Fund harmless from
            and against any and all claims, actions, suits,
            losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees,
            payments, expenses and liabilities arising out of
            or attributable to any action or omission by IFTC
            pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with
            the agency relationship created by this
            Agreement, provided that IFTC has not acted in
            good faith, without negligence and without
            willful misconduct.

        C.  In order that the indemnification provisions
            contained in this Section 7 shall apply, upon the
            assertion of a claim for which either party (the
            "Indemnifying Party") may be required to provide
            indemnification hereunder, the party seeking
            indemnification (the "Indemnitee") shall promptly
            notify the Indemnifying Party of such assertion,
            and shall keep such party advised with respect to
            all developments concerning such claim.  The
            Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume
            control of the defense and the negotiations, if
            any, regarding settlement of the claim.  If the
            Indemnifying Party assumes control, the
            Indemnitee shall have the option to participate
            in the defense and negotiations of such claim at
            its own expense.  The Indemnitee shall in no
            event confess, admit to, compromise, or settle
            any claim for which the Indemnifying Party may be
            required to indemnify it except with the prior
            written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which
            shall not be unreasonably withheld.

    8.  Certain Covenants of IFTC and Fund. 

        A.  All requisite steps will be taken by Fund from
            time to time when and as necessary to register
            the Fund's shares for sale in all states in which
            Fund's shares shall at the time be offered for
            sale and require registration.  If at any time
            Fund receives notice of any stop order or other
            proceeding in any such state affecting such
            registration or the sale of Fund's shares, or of
            any stop order or other proceeding under the
            Federal securities laws affecting the sale of
            Fund's shares, Fund will give prompt notice
            thereof to IFTC.

        B.  IFTC hereby agrees to establish and maintain
            facilities and procedures reasonably acceptable
            to Fund for safekeeping of share certificates,
            check forms, and facsimile signature imprinting
            devices, if any; and for the preparation or use,
            and for keeping account of, such certificates,
            forms and devices.  Further, IFTC agrees to carry
            insurance, as specified in Exhibit B hereto, with
            insurers reasonably acceptable to Fund and in
            minimum amounts that are reasonably acceptable to
            Fund, which will not be changed without the
            consent of Fund, which consent shall not be
            unreasonably withheld, and which will be expanded
            in coverage or increased in amounts from time to
            time if and when reasonably requested by Fund.
            If IFTC determines that it is unable to obtain
            any such insurance upon commercially reasonable
            terms, it shall promptly so advise Fund in
            writing.  In such event, Fund shall have the
            right to terminate this Agreement upon 30 days
            notice.

        C.  To the extent required by Section 31 of the
            Investment Company Act of 1940 and Rules
            thereunder, IFTC agrees that all records
            maintained by IFTC relating to the services to be
            performed by IFTC under this Agreement are the
            property of Fund and will be preserved and will
            be surrendered promptly to Fund on request.

        D.  IFTC agrees to furnish Fund semi-annual reports
            of its financial condition, consisting of a
            balance sheet, earnings statement and any other
            reasonably available financial information
            reasonably requested by Fund.  The annual


                              7 
<PAGE>   8

            financial statements will be certified by IFTC's
            certified public accountants.

        E.  IFTC represents and agrees that it will use all
            reasonable efforts to keep current on the trends
            of the investment company industry relating to
            shareholder services and will use all reasonable
            efforts to continue to modernize and improve its
            system without additional cost to Fund.

        F.  IFTC will permit Fund and its authorized
            representatives to make periodic inspections of
            its operations at reasonable times during
            business hours.

        G.  If IFTC is prevented from complying, either
            totally or in part, with any of the terms or
            provisions of this Agreement, by reason of fire,
            flood, storm, strike, lockout or other labor
            trouble, riot, war, rebellion, accidents, acts of
            God, equipment, utility or transmission failure
            or damage, and/or any other cause or casualty
            beyond the reasonable control of IFTC, whether
            similar to the foregoing matters or not, then
            upon written notice to Fund, the requirements of
            this Agreement that are affected by such
            disability, to the extent so affected, shall be
            suspended during the period of such disability;
            provided, however, that IFTC shall make
            reasonable effort to remove such disability as
            soon as possible.  During such period, Fund may
            seek alternate sources of service without
            liability hereunder; and IFTC will use all
            reasonable efforts to assist Fund to obtain
            alternate sources of service.  IFTC shall have no
            liability to Fund for nonperformance because of
            the reasons set forth in this Section 8.G; but if
            a disability that, in Fund's reasonable belief,
            materially affects IFTC's ability to perform its
            obligations under this Agreement continues for a
            period of 30 days, then Fund shall have the right
            to terminate this Agreement upon 10 days written
            notice to IFTC.

    9.  Adjustment. 

        In case of any recapitalization, readjustment or
        other change in the structure of Fund requiring a
        change in the form of share certificates, IFTC will
        issue or register certificates in the new form in
        exchange for, or in transfer of, the outstanding

                              8
<PAGE>   9

        certificates in the old form, upon receiving the
        following:

        A.  Written instructions from an officer of Fund.

        B.  Certified copy of any amendment to the Agreement
            and Declaration of Trust or other document
            effecting the change.

        C.  Certified copy of any order or consent of each
            governmental or regulatory authority required by
            law for the issuance of the shares in the new
            form, and an opinion of counsel that no order or
            consent of any other government or regulatory
            authority is required.

        D.  Specimens of the new certificates in the form
            approved by the Board of Trustees of Fund, with a
            certificate of the Secretary of Fund as to such
            approval.

        E.  Opinion of counsel for Fund:

            (1) With respect to the status of the shares of
                Fund in the new form under the Securities Act
                of 1933, and any other applicable federal or
                state laws.

            (2) To the effect that the issued shares in the
                new form are, and all unissued shares will be
                when issued, validly issued, fully paid and
                non-assessable.

    10. Share Certificates. 

        Fund will furnish IFTC with a sufficient supply of
        blank share certificates and from time to time will
        renew such supply upon the request of IFTC.  Such
        certificates will be signed manually or by facsimile
        signatures of the officers of Fund authorized by law
        and Fund's Bylaws to sign share certificates and, if
        required, will bear the trust seal or facsimile
        thereof.

    11. Death, Resignation or Removal of Signing Officer. 

        Fund will file promptly with IFTC written notice of
        any change in the officers authorized to sign share
        certificates, written instructions or requests,
        together with two signature cards bearing the

                              9
<PAGE>   10

        specimen signature of each newly authorized officer,
        all as certified by an appropriate officer of the
        Fund.  In case any officer of Fund who will have
        signed manually or whose facsimile signature will
        have been affixed to blank share certificates will
        die, resign, or be removed prior to the issuance of
        such certificates, IFTC may issue or register such
        share certificates as the share certificates of Fund
        notwithstanding such death, resignation, or removal,
        until specifically directed to the contrary by Fund
        in writing. In the absence of such direction, Fund
        will file promptly with IFTC such approval, adoption,
        or ratification as may be required by law.

    12. Future Amendments of Agreement and Declaration of 
        Trust and Bylaws. 

        Fund will promptly file with IFTC copies of all
        material amendments to its Agreement and Declaration
        of Trust and Bylaws and Registration Statement made
        after the date of this Agreement.

    13. Instructions, Opinion of Counsel and Signatures. 

        At any time IFTC may apply to any officer of Fund for
        instructions, and may consult with legal counsel for
        Fund at the expense of Fund, or with its own legal
        counsel at its own expense, with respect to any
        matter arising in connection with the agency; and it
        will not be liable for any action taken or omitted by
        it in good faith in reliance upon such instructions
        or upon the opinion of such counsel. IFTC is
        authorized to act on the orders, directions or
        instructions of such persons as the Board of Trustees
        of Fund shall from time to time designate by
        resolution.  IFTC will be protected in acting upon
        any paper or document, including any orders,
        directions or instructions, reasonably believed by it
        to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper
        person or persons; and IFTC will not be held to have
        notice of any change of authority of any person so
        authorized by Fund until receipt of written notice
        thereof from Fund. IFTC will also be protected in
        recognizing share certificates that it reasonably
        believes to bear the proper manual or facsimile
        signatures of the officers of Fund, and the proper
        countersignature of any former Transfer Agent or
        Registrar, or of a Co-Transfer Agent or Co-Registrar.


                             10
<PAGE>   11

    14. Papers Subject to Approval of Counsel. 

        The acceptance by IFTC of its appointment as Transfer
        Agent and Dividend Disbursing Agent, and all
        documents filed in connection with such appointment
        and thereafter in connection with the agencies, will
        be subject to the approval of legal counsel for IFTC,
        which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

    15. Certification of Documents. 

        The required copy of the Agreement and Declaration of
        Trust of Fund and copies of all amendments thereto
        will be certified by the appropriate official of The
        Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and if such Agreement
        and Declaration of Trust and amendments are required
        by law to be also filed with a county, city or other
        officer or official body, a certificate of such
        filing will appear on the certified copy submitted to
        IFTC.  A copy of the order or consent of each
        governmental or regulatory authority required by law
        for the issuance of Fund shares will be certified by
        the Secretary or Clerk of such governmental or
        regulatory authority, under proper seal of such
        authority.  The copy of the Bylaws and copies of all
        amendments thereto and copies of resolutions of the
        Board of Trustees of Fund will be certified by the
        Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of Fund.

    16. Records. 

        IFTC will maintain customary records in connection
        with its agency, and particularly will maintain those
        records required to be maintained pursuant to
        sub-paragraph (2)(iv) of paragraph (b) of Rule 31a-1
        under the Investment Company Act of 1940, if any.

    17. Disposition of Books, Records and Cancelled 
        Certificates. 

        IFTC will send periodically to Fund, or to where
        designated by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary
        of Fund, all books, documents, and all records no
        longer deemed needed for current purposes and share
        certificates which have been cancelled in transfer or
        in exchange, upon the understanding that such books,
        documents, records, and share certificates will not

                             11
<PAGE>   12

        be destroyed by Fund without the consent of IFTC
        (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld),
        but will be safely stored for possible future
        reference.

    18. Provisions Relating to IFTC as Transfer Agent. 

        A.  IFTC will make original issues of share
            certificates upon written request of an officer
            of Fund and upon being furnished with a certified
            copy of a resolution of the Board of Trustees
            authorizing such original issue, an opinion of
            counsel as outlined in Section 1.G or 9.E of this
            Agreement, the certificates required by Section
            10 of this Agreement and any other documents
            required by Section 1 or 9 of this Agreement.

        B.  Before making any original issue of certificates,
            Fund will furnish IFTC with sufficient funds to
            pay any taxes required on the original issue of
            the shares.  Fund will furnish IFTC such evidence
            as may be required by IFTC to show the actual
            value of the shares.  If no taxes are payable,
            IFTC will upon request be furnished with an
            opinion of outside counsel to that effect.

        C.  Shares will be transferred and new certificates
            issued in transfer, or shares accepted for
            redemption and funds remitted therefor, upon
            surrender of the old certificates in form deemed
            by IFTC properly endorsed for transfer or
            redemption accompanied by such documents as IFTC
            may deem necessary to evidence the authority of
            the person making the transfer or redemption, and
            bearing satisfactory evidence of the payment of
            any applicable share transfer taxes.  IFTC
            reserves the right to refuse to transfer or
            redeem shares until it is satisfied that the
            endorsement or signature on the certificate or
            any other document is valid and genuine, and for
            that purpose it may require a guarantee of
            signature by such persons as may from time to
            time be specified in the prospectus related to
            such shares or otherwise authorized by Fund.
            IFTC also reserves the right to refuse to
            transfer or redeem shares until it is satisfied
            that the requested transfer or redemption is
            legally authorized, and it will incur no
            liability for the refusal in good faith to make
            transfers or redemptions which, in its judgment,
            are improper, unauthorized, or otherwise not

                             12
<PAGE>   13

            rightful.  IFTC may, in effecting transfers or
            redemptions, rely upon Simplification Acts or
            other statutes which protect it and Fund in not
            requiring complete fiduciary documentation.

        D.  When mail is used for delivery of share certificates, 
            IFTC will forward share certificates in "nonnegotiable" 
            form as provided by Fund by first class mail, all such 
            mail deliveries to be covered while in transit to the
            addressee by insurance arranged for by IFTC.

        E.  IFTC will issue and mail subscription warrants
            and certificates provided by Fund and
            representing share dividends, exchanges or
            split-ups, or act as Conversion Agent upon
            receiving written instructions from any officer
            of Fund and such other documents as IFTC deems
            necessary.

        F.  IFTC will issue, transfer, and split-up
            certificates upon receiving written instructions
            from an officer of Fund and such other documents
            as IFTC may deem necessary.

        G.  IFTC may issue new certificates in place of
            certificates represented to have been lost,
            destroyed, stolen or otherwise wrongfully taken,
            upon receiving indemnity satisfactory to IFTC,
            and may issue new certificates in exchange for,
            and upon surrender of, mutilated certificates.
            Any such issuance shall be in accordance with the
            provisions of law governing such matter and any
            procedures adopted by the Board of Trustees of
            the Fund of which IFTC has notice.

        H.  IFTC will supply a shareholder's list to Fund
            properly certified by an officer of IFTC for any
            shareholder meeting upon receiving a request from
            an officer of Fund.  It will also supply lists at
            such other times as may be reasonably requested
            by an officer of Fund.

        I.  Upon receipt of written instructions of an
            officer of Fund, IFTC will address and mail
            notices to shareholders.

        J.  In case of any request or demand for the
            inspection of the share books of Fund or any
            other books of Fund in the possession of IFTC,
            IFTC will endeavor to notify Fund and to secure
            instructions as to permitting or refusing such

                             13
<PAGE>   14

            inspection.  IFTC reserves the right, however, to
            exhibit the share books or other books to any
            person in case it is advised by its counsel that
            it may be held responsible for the failure to
            exhibit the share books or other books to such
            person.

    19. Provisions Relating to Dividend Disbursing Agency. 

        A.  IFTC will, at the expense of Fund, provide a
            special form of check containing the imprint of
            any device or other matter desired by Fund.  Said
            checks must, however, be of a form and size
            convenient for use by IFTC.

        B.  If Fund wants to include additional printed
            matter, financial statements, etc., with the
            dividend checks, the same will be furnished to
            IFTC within a reasonable time prior to the date
            of mailing of the dividend checks, at the expense
            of Fund.

        C.  If Fund wants its distributions mailed in any
            special form of envelopes, sufficient supply of
            the same will be furnished to IFTC but the size
            and form of said envelopes will be subject to the
            approval of IFTC.  If stamped envelopes are used,
            they must be furnished by Fund; or, if postage
            stamps are to be affixed to the envelopes, the
            stamps or the cash necessary for such stamps must
            be furnished by Fund.

        D.  IFTC will maintain one or more deposit accounts
            as Agent for Fund, into which the funds for
            payment of dividends, distributions, redemptions
            or other disbursements provided for hereunder
            will be deposited, and against which checks will
            be drawn.

    20. Termination of Agreement. 

        A.  This Agreement may be terminated by either party
            upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the
            other party.

        B.  Fund, in addition to any other rights and
            remedies, shall have the right to terminate this
            Agreement forthwith upon the occurrence at any
            time of any of the following events:

<PAGE>   15

            (1) Any interruption or cessation of operations
                by IFTC or its assigns which materially
                interferes with the business operation of
                Fund.

            (2) The bankruptcy of IFTC or its assigns or the
                appointment of a receiver for IFTC or its
                assigns.

            (3) Any merger, consolidation or sale of
                substantially all the assets of IFTC or its
                assigns.

            (4) The acquisition of a controlling interest in
                IFTC or its assigns, by any broker, dealer,
                investment adviser or investment company
                except as may presently exist.

            (5) Failure by IFTC or its assigns to perform its
                duties in accordance with this Agreement,
                which failure materially adversely affects
                the business operations of Fund and which
                failure continues for thirty (30) days after
                written notice from Fund.

            (6) The registration of IFTC or its assigns as a
                transfer agent under the Securities Exchange
                Act of 1934 is revoked, terminated or
                suspended for any reason.

        C.  In the event of termination, Fund will promptly
            pay IFTC all amounts due to IFTC hereunder.  Upon
            termination of this Agreement, IFTC shall deliver
            all shareholder and account records pertaining to
            Fund either to Fund or as directed in writing by
            Fund.

    21. Assignment. 

        A.  Except for the assignment of responsibilities
            pursuant to the Services Agreement ("Services
            Agreement") between IFTC and Kemper Service
            Company ("KSVC"), which Fund has approved,
            neither this Agreement nor any rights or
            obligations hereunder may be assigned by IFTC
            without the written consent of Fund; provided,
            however, no assignment will relieve IFTC of any                   
            of its obligations hereunder.

        B.  This Agreement including, without limitation, the
            provisions of Section 7 will inure to the benefit

                             15
<PAGE>   16

            of and be binding upon the parties and their
            respective successors and assigns including KSVC
            pursuant to the aforesaid Services Agreement.

        C.  KSVC is authorized by Fund to use the system
            services of DST Systems, Inc.

    22. Confidentiality. 

        A.  Except as provided in the last sentence of
            Section 18.J hereof, or as otherwise required by
            law, IFTC will keep confidential all records of
            and information in its possession relating to
            Fund or its shareholders or shareholder accounts
            and will not disclose the same to any person
            except at the request or with the consent of
            Fund.

        B.  Except as otherwise required by law, Fund will
            keep confidential all financial statements and
            other financial records (other than statements
            and records relating solely to Fund's business
            dealings with IFTC) and all manuals, systems and
            other technical information and data, not
            publicly disclosed, relating to IFTC's operations
            and programs furnished to it by IFTC pursuant to
            this Agreement and will not disclose the same to
            any person except at the request or with the
            consent of IFTC.  Notwithstanding anything to the
            contrary in this Section 22.B, if an attempt is
            made pursuant to subpoena or other legal process
            to require Fund to disclose or produce any of the
            aforementioned manuals, systems or other
            technical information and data, Fund shall give
            IFTC prompt notice thereof prior to disclosure or
            production so that IFTC may, at its expense,
            resist such attempt.

    23. Survival of Representations and Warranties. 

        All representations and warranties by either party
        herein contained will survive the execution and
        delivery of this Agreement.

    24. Miscellaneous. 

        A.  This Agreement is executed and delivered in the
            State of Illinois and shall be governed by the
            laws of said state (except as to Section 24.G

                             16
<PAGE>   17

            hereof which shall be governed by the laws of The
            Commonwealth of Massachusetts).

        B.  No provisions of this Agreement may be amended or
            modified in any manner except by a written
            agreement properly authorized and executed by
            both parties hereto.

        C.  The captions in this Agreement are included for
            convenience of reference only, and in no way
            define or limit any of the provisions hereof or
            otherwise affect their construction or effect.

        D.  This Agreement shall become effective as of the
            date hereof.

        E.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in
            two or more counterparts, each of which shall be
            deemed an original but all of which together
            shall constitute one and the same instrument.

        F.  If any part, term or provision of this Agreement
            is held by the courts to be illegal, in conflict
            with any law or otherwise invalid, the remaining
            portion or portions shall be considered severable                 
            and not be affected, and the rights and
            obligations of the parties shall be construed and
            enforced as if the Agreement did not contain the
            particular part, term or provision held to be
            illegal or invalid.

        G.  All parties hereto are expressly put on notice of
            Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust which
            is on file with the Secretary of The Commonwealth
            of Massachusetts, and the limitation of
            shareholder and trustee liability contained
            therein.  This Agreement has been executed by and
            on behalf of Fund by its representatives as such
            representatives and not individually, and the
            obligations of Fund hereunder are not binding
            upon any of the Trustees, officers or
            shareholders of the Fund individually but are
            binding upon only the assets and property of
            Fund.  With respect to any claim by IFTC for
            recovery of that portion of the compensation and
            expenses (or any other liability of Fund arising
            hereunder) allocated to a particular Portfolio,
            whether in accordance with the express terms
            hereof or otherwise, IFTC shall have recourse
            solely against the assets of that Portfolio to
            satisfy such claim and shall have no recourse


                             17
<PAGE>   18

            against the assets of any other Portfolio for
            such purpose.

        H.  This Agreement, together with the Fee Schedule,
            is the entire contract between the parties
            relating to the subject matter hereof and
            supersedes all prior agreements between the
            parties.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to
be executed by their respective duly authorized officer as of
the day and year first set forth above.

           TRANSFER AGENCY FEE SCHEDULE SUPPLEMENT


For purposes of the following limitation, "Class Expenses"
are expenses identified as attributable to a particular class
of the Fund and charged directly to the class.  Class
Expenses are limited to the following:  registration fees,
directors' or trustees' fees, expenses of periodic meetings
of directors, trustees or shareholders, transfer agency fees,
legal and accounting fees (other than fees for income tax
return preparation or income tax advice), and costs of
shareholder communications required by law (e.g., the
preparation and mailing of prospectuses and proxy
statements).  Class Expenses specifically do not include Rule
12b-1 fees and administrative service fees.  Transfer agency
fees and expenses will be limited for any class of the Fund
to the extent necessary to ensure that the Class Expenses
(expressed as a percentage of average daily net assets)
allocated to any class of the Fund will differ from the Class
Expenses allocated to any other class of the Fund in any
fiscal year by less than 50 basis points (.50%) (adjusted as
necessary for classes in effect for a partial year).

                ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT


AGREEMENT dated this __th day of __________, 1995, by and between
KEMPER VALUE PLUS GROWTH FUND, a Massachusetts business trust
(the "Fund"), and KEMPER DISTRIBUTORS, INC., a Delaware
corporation ("KDI").

In consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter contained,
it is hereby agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows:

1.   The Fund hereby appoints KDI to provide information and
administrative services for the benefit of the Fund and its
shareholders.  In this regard, KDI shall appoint various
broker-dealer firms and other financial services firms ("Firms")
to provide related services and facilities for their clients who
are shareholders of the Fund ("clients").  The Firms shall
provide such office space and equipment, telephone facilities and
personnel as is necessary or beneficial for providing information
and services to shareholders of the Fund.  Such services and
assistance may include, but are not limited to, establishing and
maintaining shareholder accounts and records, processing purchase
and redemption transactions, answering routine client inquiries
regarding the Fund and its special features, assistance to
clients in changing dividend and investment options, account
designations and addresses, and such other services as the Fund
or KDI may reasonably request.  KDI may also provide some of the
above services for the Fund directly.

KDI accepts such appointment and agrees during such period to
render such services and to assume the obligations herein set
forth for the compensation herein provided.  KDI shall for all
purposes herein provided be deemed to be an independent
contractor and, unless otherwise expressly provided or
authorized, shall have no authority to act for or represent the
Fund in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Fund.
KDI, by separate agreement with the Fund, may also serve the Fund
in other capacities.  In carrying out its duties and
responsibilities hereunder, KDI will appoint various Firms to
provide administrative and other services described herein
directly to or for the benefit of shareholders of the Fund who
may be clients of such Firms.  Such Firms shall at all times be
deemed to be independent contractors retained by KDI and not the
Fund.  KDI and not the Fund will be responsible for the payment
of compensation to such Firms for such services.

2.   For the services and facilities described in Section 1, the
Fund will pay to KDI at the end of each calendar month an
administrative service fee computed at an annual rate of up to  
<PAGE>   2

0.25 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the Fund (except
assets attributable to Class I Shares).  The current fee schedule
is set forth as Appendix I hereto.  The administrative service
fee will be calculated separately for each class of each series
of the Fund as an expense of each such class; provided, however,
no administrative  service fee shall be payable with respect to
Class I Shares.  For the month and year in which this Agreement
becomes effective or terminates, there shall be an appropriate
proration on the basis of the number of days that the Agreement
is in effect during such month and year, respectively.  The
services of KDI to the Fund under this Agreement are not to be
deemed exclusive, and KDI shall be free to render similar
services or other services to others.

The net asset value for each share of the Fund shall be
calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Fund's
current prospectus.  On each day when net asset value is not
calculated, the net asset value of a share of the Fund shall be
deemed to be the net asset value of such a share as of the close
of business on the last day on which such calculation was made
for the purpose of the foregoing computations.

3.   The Fund shall assume and pay all charges and expenses of
its operations not specifically assumed or otherwise to be
provided by KDI under this Agreement.

4.   This Agreement may be terminated at any time without the
payment of any penalty by the Fund or by KDI on sixty (60) days
written notice to the other party.  Termination of this Agreement
shall not affect the right of KDI to receive payments on any
unpaid balance of the compensation described in Section 2 hereof
earned prior to such termination.  This Agreement may not be
amended to increase the amount to be paid to KDI for services
hereunder above .25 of 1% of the average daily net assets of the
Fund without the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
securities of the Fund.  All material amendments to this
Agreement must in any event be approved by vote of the Board of
Trustees of the Fund.

5.   If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made
invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the
remainder shall not be thereby affected.

6.   Any notice under this Agreement shall be in writing,
addressed and delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the other
party at such address as such other party may designate for the
receipt of such notice.

7.   All parties hereto are expressly put on notice of the Fund's
Agreement and Declaration of Trust and all amendments thereto,
all of which are on file with the Secretary of The Commonwealth
of Massachusetts, and the limitation of shareholder and trustee

                               -2-
<PAGE>   3

liability contained therein.  This Agreement has been executed by
and on behalf of the Fund by its representatives as such
representatives and not individually, and the obligations of the
Fund hereunder are not binding upon any of the trustees, officers
or shareholders of the Fund individually but are binding upon
only the assets and property of the Fund.

8.   This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
applicable federal law and (except as to Section 7 hereof which
shall be construed in accordance with the laws of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts) the laws of the State of Illinois.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Fund and KDI have caused this Agreement
to be executed as of the day and year first above written.

which this Appendix is attached, the Fund and KDI agree that the
initial administrative service fee will be computed at an annual
rate of .25 of 1% (the "Fee Rate").  For purposes of computing
the fee due KDI, the Fee Rate shall be applied against the amount
of assets of the Fund for which a broker-dealer or other
financial services firm is listed on the records of the Fund as
"dealer of record," which shall not include KDI.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        Reference is made to Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to the Registration
Statement on Form N-1A under the Securities Act of 1933 being filed by Kemper
Value Plus Growth Fund (the "Fund") in connection with the proposed public
offering of an indefinite amount of units of beneficial interest, no par value
("Shares"), in the Fund.

        We have acted as counsel to the Fund since its inception and in such
capacity are familiar with the Fund's organization and have counseled the Fund
regarding various legal matters.  We have examined such Fund records and other
documents and certificates as we have considered necessary or appropriate for
the purposes of this opinion.  In our examination of such materials, we have
assumed the genuineness of all signatures and the conformity to original
documents of all copies submitted to us.

        Based upon the foregoing and upon the opinion dated September 29, 1995
by Ropes & Gray of Boston, Massachusetts, we advise you and opine that (a) the
Fund is a duly authorized and validly existing voluntary association with
transferrable shares under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and is
authorized to issue an unlimited number of Shares; and (b) upon the issuance of
the Shares in accordance with the Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust and
the receipt by the Fund of a purchase price not less than the net asset value
per Share, the Shares will be legally issued and outstanding, fully paid and
non-assessable (although shareholders of the Fund may be subject to liability
under certain circumstances described in Part B of the Registration Statement
of the Fund under the caption "Shareholder Rights").

        We hereby consent to the use of this opinion in connection with said
Pre-Effective Amendment.

                                        Very truly yours,

Vedder, Price, Kaufman & Kammholz

Ladies and Gentlemen:

        We are furnishing this opinion with respect to the proposed offer and
sale from time to time of an indefinite number of shares of beneficial interest
(the "Shares") of Kemper Value Plus Growth Fund (the "Fund"), being registered
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, by a Registration Statement on
Form N-1A (the "Registration Statement").

        We have acted as Massachusetts counsel for the Fund in connection with
its organization and are familiar with the action taken by its Trustees to
authorize the issuance of the Shares of the Fund.  We have examined its by-laws
and its Agreement and Declaration of Trust on file at the Office of the
Secretary of State of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts and we have also
examined such other documents as we deem necessary for the purpose of this
opinion.

        We assume that appropriate action has been or will be taken to register
or qualify the sale of the Shares under any applicable state and federal laws
regulating sales and offerings of securities and that upon sale of the Shares,
the Fund will receive the net asset value thereof.

        Based upon the foregoing, we are of the opinion that:

        1.  The Fund is a legally organized and validly existing unincorporated
voluntary association under the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts
which, unless terminated as provided in its Agreement and Declaration of Trust,
shall continue in existence without limitation of time.

Vedder, Price, Kaufman & Kammholz           -2-              September 29, 1995


        2.  The Fund is authorized to issue an unlimited number of Shares and
upon the issue of any thereof for cash at net asset value after the
effectiveness of the Registration Statement and receipt by the Fund of the
authorized consideration therefor, the Shares so issued will be validly issued,
fully paid, and nonassessable by the Fund.

        The Fund is an entity of the type commonly known as a "Massachusetts
business trust".  Under Massachusetts law, shareholders could, under certain
circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the Fund. 
However, the Agreement and Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder liability
for acts and obligations of the Fund and requires that notice of such
disclaimer be given in each agreement, obligation or instrument entered into or
executed by the Trustees or officers of the Fund.  The Agreement and
Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification out of the property of the
Fund for all loss and expense of any shareholder of the Fund held personally
liable for the obligations of the Fund.  Thus, the risk of a liability is
limited to circumstances in which the Fund would be unable to meet its
obligations.

        We hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the
Registration Statement.

                                             Very truly yours,

                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS


The Board of Trustees and Shareholder 
Kemper Value Plus Growth Fund 

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets of Kemper Value Plus
Growth Fund (doing business as Kemper Value+Growth Fund) as of September 20,
1995. This statement of net assets is the responsibility of the Trust's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on this statement of
net assets based on our audit. 

We conducted our audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the statement of net assets is free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the statement of net assets. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall statement of
net assets presentation. We believe that our audit of the statement of net
assets provides a reasonable basis for our opinion. 

In our opinion, the statement of net assets referred to above presents fairly,
in all material respects, the financial position of Kemper Value Plus Growth
Fund at September 20, 1995 in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

CHOOSING YOUR PLAN

RETIREMENT PLANNING SOLUTIONS THAT BENEFIT BOTH YOU AND YOUR EMPLOYEES

     Providing for retirement is an increasing concern for employers, as well
     as employees. With a shrinking work force, employers will have to be more
     competitive than ever to attract a qualified staff. The rising costs of
     traditional pension plans, however, can be a significant financial drain
     on a company's profits. So how can a company remain competitive and not
     risk its bottom line?

     Many employers have discovered that defined contribution plans such as
     Money Purchase and Profit Sharing plans provide a viable solution that can
     benefit both the company and its employees.

 FIND OUT IF ONE OF THESE PLANS IS RIGHT FOR YOU...

     With the variety of retirement plans available today, it's often difficult
     to know which one is best for your company's needs. If you're a sole
     proprietor, independent contractor, owner of a small business or in
     private practice, with few or no employees, and are looking for a way to
     save for retirement and reduce your tax liabilities, consider one of these
     plans.

     PROFIT SHARING PLAN

          A profit sharing plan is just that - a plan that enables the
          employees to participate in the profits of the company. The
          flexibility of contribution limits and the relative ease of
          maintenance make profit sharing plans an attractive alternative for
          both employers and employees.

          A profit sharing plan allows employees to participate in the
          company's success, thereby giving further incentive for employee
          productivity and loyalty. More profits mean higher contributions, up
          to legal limits.

     MONEY PURCHASE PLAN

          A money purchase plan shares many of the same advantages and features
          of a profit sharing plan, but has a higher contribution level.  It
          has the same eligibility requirements, tax benefits and distribution
          choices. The difference is in the contribution limits and
          requirements.

               - Allows for higher contribution levels

               - Contribution levels are fixed

          Because there is a fixed contribution formula, required contributions
          can be easily computed and budgeted. Once a percentage has been
          determined, contributions are mandatory each year, and for the same
          percentage level - regardless of whether the company is profitable
          that year. Failure to contribute the required amount in a year could
          result in stiff tax penalties, and jeopardize the qualified status of
          the plan.

     COMBINED MONEY PURCHASE AND PROFIT SHARING PLAN

     Many employers like the idea of making contributions as high as 25% of
     eligible payroll, but are not comfortable committing to this every year.
     Fortunately, the IRS allows a combination or "paired" plan that gives the
     "best of both worlds."

          - Higher contribution levels of a money purchase plan

          - Flexible contribution limits of a profit sharing plan

     Paired plans combine the flexibility of a profit sharing plan with the
     higher contribution limits of a money purchase pension plan. A combined
     plan lets you enjoy control over a portion of the contribution similar to
     a profit sharing plan, but also offers the higher contribution limits
     found in a money purchase plan. Employees are assured that they will be
     provided with at least some level of retirement benefit.

     Typically, if an employer wishes to maximize the contribution, he or she
     would set the money purchase plan contribution at 10%, which would be
     mandatory each year, and allow the remaining 15% to be a part of the
     profit sharing plan, which is contingent on whether or not the company can
     afford it. That way, the employer is only locked into a 10% mandatory
     contribution rather than 25%.

THE KEMPER RED BOOK KEOGH PROTOTYPE

     The Plan Document, contained in the last section of this booklet, provides
     the plan parameters for self-employed partnerships and corporations, and
     has been amended for the Tax Reform Act of 1986. Investors Fiduciary Trust
     Company (IFTC) will act as trustee for a plan using Kemper mutual funds.
     Kemper Investors Life Insurance Company (KILICO) annuities do not require
     a trustee. Before any contributions can be made to the plan, an Adoption
     Agreement (see section entitled "Plan Installation Forms") that outlines
     the plan parameters must be signed and dated.

  ELIGIBILITY

     Since the plan is employer-sponsored, the employer has the ability to
     establish minimum requirements for plan participation, generally based on
     age and years of service. As the employer, you decide how flexible plan
     participation will be, keeping within certain minimum requirements set by
     the IRS. Of course, eligibility requirements may be lower. Those who must
     be eligible for the plan are:

          - Any employee over age 21, AND
          - Employees who have had at least two years of service, AND
          - Employees who are not covered by a collective bargaining agreement.

     All employees (including leased and control group) who fulfill eligibility
     requirements, except for union employees covered under a collective
     bargaining agreement, are eligible participants in the plan. Entry dates
     for the plan are semi-annual.

  CONTRIBUTIONS

     One of the most important benefits of the plan is that the employer's
     contributions are a tax-deductible business expense. This special tax
     treatment makes it one of the few remaining tax shelters available. 

     All plan participants employed on the last day of the plan year will share
     in the employer's contribution regardless of the hours worked during the 
     plan year. Terminated participants will share in the employer's 
     contribution only if they completed at least 501 hours of service during 
     the plan year in which they terminated.

     Compensation is defined as an employee's total gross salary earned while
     the employee was actually a plan participant. Rollover contributions are
     allowed if the Employer wishes. Employee after-tax contributions are not
     allowed under this plan document.
<PAGE>   5
CHOOSING YOUR PLAN

  DISTRIBUTIONS

     Terminated participants will receive their distribution on the 60th day of
     the plan year following separation of service. If the value of the account
     is more than $3,500 the participant must agree to take his or her money,
     and the participant can choose lump sum or installment payments. If the
     account value is $3,500 or less, the participant receives a lump sum
     payment. Participants are always 100% vested.

     Kemper Financial Services, Inc. will provide self-trusteed, variable
     documents which allow you to vary the plan parameters. Please contact your
     representative or Kemper Financial Services, Inc. at 1-800-621-5027.

QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS

     Q.   WHAT IS THE DEADLINE FOR ESTABLISHING A RETIREMENT PLAN?

     A.   The plan must be established on or before the last day of the taxable
          year for which a deduction is to be taken.

     Q.   DOES "ESTABLISH" MEAN THERE MUST BE ASSETS IN THE PLAN?

     A.   Yes, at least $250 is required to open and establish the account in
          the tax year. The balance of the contribution must comply with tax
          deadlines.

     Q.   WHAT IS THE DEADLINE FOR MAKING CONTRIBUTIONS ONCE THE PLAN IS
          ESTABLISHED?

     A.   Contributions for any year must be made before the latest possible
          filing date for the Employer's federal income tax return for that
          year, including extensions.

     Q.   SHOULD I BE BONDED?

     A.   Yes, Employers should be bonded if the plan covers employees other
          than the owner(s) and the owner(s) spouse; the bond must cover at
          least 10% of the plan's assets; the face value of the bond may not be
          less than $1,000.

     Q.   WHAT IS MEANT BY "YEAR OF SERVICE" WHEN DETERMINING WHO IS ELIGIBLE
          TO PARTICIPATE IN THE PLAN?

     A.   "Year of Service" for purposes of eligibility means 12 consecutive
          months during which an employee completes at least 1,000 hours of
          service. The 12-month period begins on the day an employee performs
          his or her first hour of service.

     Q.   WHEN DOES AN EMPLOYEE PARTICIPATE ONCE ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS ARE
          MET?

     A.   The employee becomes a Participant on the first day of the Plan Year,
          or the first day of the seventh month of the Plan Year, following
          satisfaction of the eligibility requirement. For example, if the Plan
          Year is a calendar year and an employee satisfies the eligibility
          requirement on March 1, he or she will enter the plan on July 1.

     Q.   CAN THE EMPLOYEE CONTRIBUTE UNDER THIS PLAN?

     A.   Pre-tax employee salary reduction contributions may be allowed, but
          only if you elect to include the 401(k) arrangement found in Article
          XIII of the Profit Sharing Adoption Agreement. After-tax
          contributions are not allowed.

     Q.   WHAT IS SOCIAL SECURITY INTEGRATION?

     A.   When your overall retirement plan scheme combines Social Security
          with your private retirement plan, this is called integration.
          Integration allows you to take advantage of the Social Security tax
          payments you already make when designing your private retirement
          plan's formula. The result favors the highly paid employees because
          they receive a larger portion of the total contribution.
          Contribution formulas and worksheets for self-employed participants
          in integrated plans are available from Kemper Financial Services upon
          request.

     Q.   WHAT IS THE COMPENSATION FOR A SOLE PROPRIETOR?

     A.   If you are a sole proprietor or your business is a partnership, you
          must base contributions on earned income, which is defined as net
          profits minus the amount you contributed to the plan. Your net
          profits are shown on the Schedule C form for a sole proprietor, and
          the schedule K-1 form for a partnership. Contributions for all other
          employees are based on gross earnings actually paid for services
          rendered.
<PAGE>   6

     Q.   WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO "AMEND AND RESTATE" A PLAN? 

     A.   To amend and restate your plan means you have updated your plan in 
          its entirety by replacing the plan document with a new plan document. 
          This may be necessary if your existing plan document prohibits plan
          investments with Kemper or because of changes in the laws governing
          qualified retirement plans.

          Many employers are now formally updating their plans to comply with
          the Tax Reform Act of 1986. These amendments must be retroactive to
          the first day of your 1987 plan year unless interim amendments were
          adopted for the 1987 and 1988 plan years.

INVESTING YOUR PLAN ASSETS

     One of the most important decisions you have to make is where to invest
     your plan's assets. The better your plan's investment performance, the
     easier it will be for you and your employees to retire in comfort. You'll
     want to select investments with a broad range of objectives to meet the
     diverse investment needs of your employees, and take great care in

3.01 AMOUNT

          The amount of the Employer's annual contribution to the Trust will
          equal the amount (or additional amount) the Employer may from time to
          time deem advisable, irrespective of whether the Employer has Net
          Profits.

3.04 CONTRIBUTION ALLOCATION

          Profit Sharing plan - Employer contributions for the plan year will
          be allocated to participants' accounts as follows: [NOTE: IF THE
          EMPLOYER WILL NOT BE INTEGRATING THE PLAN WITH SOCIAL SECURITY OR
          ADOPTING THE PAIRED MONEY PURCHASE PENSION PLAN #002, SKIP STEPS ONE,
          TWO AND THREE BELOW AND GO DIRECTLY TO STEP FOUR.]

        STEP ONE: Contributions will be allocated to each participant's
          account in the ratio that each participant's total compensation bears
          to all participants' total compensation, but not in excess of 3% of
          each participant's total compensation.

        STEP TWO: Any contributions remaining after the allocation in Step
          One will be allocated to each participant's account in the ratio
          that each participant's compensation for the plan year in excess of
          the integration level bears to the excess compensation of all
          participants, but not in excess of 3%.

        STEP THREE: Any contributions remaining after the allocation in Step
          Two will be allocated to each participant's account in the ratio that
          the sum of each participant's total compensation plus excess
          compensation bears to the sum of all participant's total compensation
          plus total excess compensation, but not in excess of the
          profit-sharing maximum disparity rate.

        STEP FOUR: Any remaining employer contributions or forfeitures will
          be allocated to each participant's account in the ratio that each
          participant's total compensation for the plan year bears to all
          participants' total compensation for that year.

          The integration level shall be equal to the amount elected by the
          employer in the Adoption Agreement. The taxable wage base (TWB) is
          the maximum amount of earnings which may be considered wages for a
          year under Section 3121(a)(1) of the Code in effect as of the 
          beginning of the plan year.

          Compensation shall mean compensation as defined in Section 1.12 of
          the plan.

          The integration level is equal to (Choose one):
               / / Taxable Wage Base (TWB)
               / / $_______ (a dollar amount less than the TWB)
               / / ________ % of TWB (not to exceed 100%)

          The maximum Profit Sharing disparity rate is equal to the lesser of:
               (a) 2.7% or
               (b) the applicable percentage determined in accordance with the
                   table below:

</TABLE>
* X = the greater of $10,000 or 20% of the TWB.
**Y = any amount more than 80% of the TWB but less than 100% of the TWB.

          If the integration level used is equal to the TWB, the applicable
          percentage is 2.7%.

USE OF ADOPTION AGREEMENT
Failure to properly complete the elections in this Adoption Agreement may
result in disqualification of the Employer's Plan. The 3-digit number assigned

assigns to its plan for ERISA reporting purposes. The Plan Sponsor offers the
following Paired Pension Plan with this Paired Profit Sharing Plan, identified
by 3-digit Adoption Agreement number: 002. This Adoption Agreement may be used
only in conjunction with Basic Plan Document 01.

PLAN SPONSOR
The Plan Sponsor identified on the first page of the basic plan document will
notify all adopting Employers of any amendment to this Plan or of any
abandonment or discontinuance by the Plan Sponsor of its maintenance of this

was the same type of plan as the restated plan. If the Employer maintains or
has maintained another plan other than a Paired Pension Plan, including a
welfare benefit fund, as defined in Code Section 419(e), which provides post-
retirement medical benefits for key employees (as defined in Code Section 
419A(d)(3)), or an individual medical account (as defined in Code Section

USE OF ADOPTION AGREEMENT
Failure to properly complete the elections in this Adoption Agreement may
result in disqualification of the Employer's Plan. The 3-digit number assigned
to this Adoption Agreement is solely for the Plan Sponsor's record keeping
purposes and does not necessarily correspond to the plan number the Employer
assigns to its Plan for ERISA reporting purposes. The Plan Sponsor offers the
following Paired Profit Sharing Plan with this Paired Pension Plan, identified
by 3-digit Adoption Agreement number 001. This Adoption Agreement may be only
used in conjunction with Basic Plan Document 01.

PLAN SPONSOR
The Plan Sponsor identified on the first page of the basic plan document will
notify all adopting Employers of any amendment to this Plan or of any
abandonment or discontinuance by the Plan Sponsor of its maintenance of this
Plan. For inquiries regarding the adoption of the Plan, the Plan Sponsor's
intended meaning of any plan provisions or the effect of the opinion letter
issued to the Plan Sponsor, please contact the Plan Sponsor at the following
address and telephone number: Kemper Financial Services, Inc., 120 South LaSalle
Street, Chicago, Illinois 60603, 1-800-621-1148.

RELIANCE ON OPINION LETTER
If the Employer does not maintain (and has never maintained) any plan other
than this Plan and a Paired Profit Sharing Plan, it may rely on the Plan
Sponsor's opinion letter covering this Plan for purposes of plan qualification.
For this purpose, the Employer has not maintained another plan if this Plan, or
the Paired Profit Sharing Plan, amended and restated that prior plan and the
prior plan was the same type of plan as the restated plan. If the Employer
maintains or later adopts or has maintained another plan other than a Paired
Profit Sharing Plan, including a welfare benefit fund, as defined in Code
Section 419(e), which provides post-retirement medical benefits for key 
employees (as defined in Code Section 419A(d)(3)), or an individual medical 
account (as defined in Code Section 415(1)(2)), the Employer may not rely on 
this Plan's qualified status unless it obtains a determination letter from the 
applicable IRS Key District office.

                  PRE-RETIREMENT SURVIVOR ANNUITY MEMORANDUM

INSTRUCTIONS:
This memorandum must be provided to married money purchase pension plan and
certain profit sharing plan participants unless their spouse is the beneficiary
of at least 50% of the participant's account balance.  A participant should
receive this memorandum during the Plan Year in which they turn age 32.  They
will have the right to waive it, with spousal consent, during the Plan Year in
which the participant turns age 35.  A married participant age 35 or older
should immediately be given this memorandum and the Waiver of Pre-retirement
Survivor Annuity form.

________________________________________________________________________ Plan
                  Name of Employer

PRE-RETIREMENT SURVIVOR ANNUITY. The Plan requires the Employer to distribute a
pre-retirement survivor annuity to your surviving spouse if your death occurs
before distributions have begun and you and your spouse are married during the
one year period ending on the date of your death.

Under the pre-retirement survivor annuity, your spouse will receive lifetime
monthly annuity payments. The Employer will purchase the annuity contract from
an insurance company using 50% of your vested account balance (including the
proceeds, if any, of life insurance contracts purchased on your behalf under
the Plan). The contract will be given to your surviving spouse as evidence of a
right to receive the annuity payments from the insurance company. Generally,
the Employer may not begin payment of the annuity prior to the date a
participant would have reached age 65 without the surviving spouse's consent.
However, the surviving spouse may elect to have distribution of the
pre-retirement survivor annuity at any time following the participant's death.
If, at the time of your death, 50% of your account balance is less than
$3,500, the Employer will pay your spouse a lump sum payment instead of the
annuity.

WAIVER ELECTION. The Plan requires payment of the pre-retirement survivor
annuity unless you have a valid waiver election in effect on the date of your
death. To have a valid waiver you and your spouse must complete the waiver
election form. YOUR WAIVER ELECTION IS NOT VALID UNLESS YOUR SPOUSE, DURING THE
ELECTION PERIOD, ALSO CONSENTS IN WRITING TO YOUR BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION,
UNLESS YOUR SPOUSE IS THE SOLE PRIMARY BENEFICIARY. Your waiver election is not
valid unless you and your spouse make the election within the election period.
The election period begins on the first day of the Plan Year immediately before
your 35th birthday or, if later, the date you receive this notice. The election
period ends on the date of your death. If you wish, you may waive the
pre-retirement survivor annuity prior to the beginning of the election period.
However, on the first day of the election period mentioned above, you and your
spouse would have to complete a second waiver form. If you terminate
employment, you may waive the pre-retirement survivor annuity at any time after
the date of your termination. You may revoke or make a new waiver election as
often as you like during the election period. You may revoke a waiver election
without your spouse's consent, but your spouse would have to consent to a new
waiver. A waiver election is valid only for the spouse consenting to the
waiver. Therefore, you should inform the Employer of any change in your marital
status.

FINANCIAL EFFECT OF YOUR ELECTION. If you and your spouse do NOT waive the
pre-retirement survivor annuity, the Employer will pay your surviving spouse
the pre-retirement survivor annuity and pay the remaining value of the account
to your designated beneficiary. If the Employer pays your spouse the annuity,
the Plan does not need your spouse's consent to the beneficiary designation.
Under a pre-retirement survivor annuity, your surviving spouse will receive
lifetime income. Benefits will not continue to other beneficiaries after your
spouse's death.  Your surviving spouse can choose a lump sum or installment
payments instead of the pre-retirement survivor annuity.

If you and your spouse waive the pre-retirement survivor annuity, the Employer
will pay your entire vested account balance to your designated beneficiary. The
Plan generally requires payment of the death benefit in lump sum.  If your
beneficiary receives a lump sum payment, the Employer will provide the
beneficiary a notice of the special tax benefits, if any, available for the
distribution. If your vested account balance at the time of your death exceeds
$3,500, your beneficiary may choose a lump sum or installment payments. Under
the installment method, the Employer will continue payments from your account
until the entire account has been depleted. Furthermore, your vested account
balance will continue to earn investment income. If a vested account balance
remains in the Plan at the time of your primary beneficiary's death, the Plan
will pay the remaining account balance to your primary beneficiary's estate,
unless your beneficiary designation directs otherwise. If you and your spouse
waive the pre-retirement survivor annuity, your spouse must consent to the
identity of the designated beneficiary but does not have to consent to the form
of payment made to the beneficiary.

PROCEDURE. If you and your spouse wish to have the pre-retirement survivor
annuity apply, YOU DO NOT NEED TO MAKE ANY ELECTION. If you and your spouse do
NOT wish to have the pre-retirement survivor annuity apply, sign the enclosed
Waiver of Pre-retirement Survivor Annuity election form within the election
period. We also have enclosed a Designation of Beneficiary Form.

       satisfy clause (a) in either period, the Employee is a Highly
       Compensated Employee only if he is one of the 100 most highly
       compensated Employees for the Plan Year. The number of officers taken
       into account under clause (d) will not exceed the greater of 3 or 10% of
       the total number (after application of the Code Section 414(q) 
       exclusions) of Employees, but no more than 50 officers. If no Employee 
       satisfies the Compensation requirement in clause (d) for the relevant 
       year, the Advisory Committee will treat the highest paid officer as 
       satisfying clause (d) for that year.

       For purposes of this Section, "Compensation" means Compensation as
       defined in Section 1.12, and Compensation must include: (i) elective
       deferrals under a Code Section 401(k) arrangement or under a Simplified
       Employee Pension maintained by the Employer; and (ii) amounts paid by    
       the Employer which are not currently includible in the Employee's gross
       income because of Code Sections 125 (cafeteria plans) or 403(b)
       (tax-sheltered annuities). The Advisory Committee must make the
       determination of who is a Highly Compensated Employee, including the
       determinations of the number and identity of the top paid 20% group, the
       top 100 paid Employees, the number of officers includible in clause (d)
       and the relevant Compensation, consistent with Code Section 414(q) and
       regulations issued under that Code section. The Employer may make a
       calendar year election to determine the Highly Compensated Employees for
       the Plan Year, as prescribed by Treasury regulations. A calendar year
       election must apply to all plans and arrangements of the Employer. For
       purposes of applying any nondiscrimination test required under the Plan
       or under the Code, in a manner consistent with applicable Treasury
       regulations, the Advisory Committee will not treat as a separate
       Employee a family member (a spouse, a lineal ascendant or descendant, or
       a spouse of lineal ascendant or descendant) of a Highly Compensated
       Employee described in clause (a) of this Section, or a family member of
       one of the ten Highly Compensated Employees with the greatest
       Compensation for the Plan Year, but will treat the Highly Compensated
       Employee and all family members as a single Highly Compensated Employee.
       This aggregation rule applies to a family member even if that family
       member is a Highly Compensated Employee without family aggregation.
                                                       

                                      1
<PAGE>   36

       The term "Highly Compensated Employee" also includes any former Employee
       who separated from Service (or has a deemed Separation from Service, as
       determined under Treasury regulations) prior to the Plan Year, performs
       no Service for the Employer during the Plan Year, and was a Highly
       Compensated Employee either for the separation year or any Plan Year
       ending on or after his 55th birthday. If the former Employee's
       Separation from Service occurred prior to January 1, 1987, he is a
       Highly Compensated Employee only if he satisfied clause (a) of this
       Section 1.09 or received Compensation in excess of $50,000 during: (1)
       the year of his Separation from Service (or the prior year); or (2) any
       year ending after his 54th birthday.

       The determination of who is a Highly Compensated Employee, including the
       determinations of the number and identity of Employees in the top-paid
       group, the top 100 Employees, the number of Employees treated as
       officers and the Compensation that is considered, will be made in
       accordance with Code Section 414(q) and the regulations thereunder.

1.10   "PARTICIPANT" is any Employee other than a Member of a Collective
       Bargaining Unit who is eligible to be and becomes a Participant in
       accordance with the provisions of Section 2.01.

1.11   "BENEFICIARY" is a person designated by a Participant who is or may
       become entitled to a benefit under the Plan. A Beneficiary who becomes
       entitled to a benefit under the Plan remains a Beneficiary under the
       Plan until the Trustee has fully distributed his benefit to him. A
       Beneficiary's right to (and the Plan Administrator's, the Advisory
       Committee's or a Trustee's duty to provide to the Beneficiary)
       information or data concerning the Plan does not arise until he first
       becomes entitled to receive a benefit under the Plan.

1.12   "COMPENSATION" means compensation as that term is defined in Section
       3.18(b) of the Plan. If compensation for any prior plan year is taken
       into account in determining an employee's contributions or benefits for
       the current year, the compensation for such prior year is subject to the
       applicable annual compensation limit in effect for that prior year. For
       this purpose, for years beginning before January 1, 1990, the applicable
       annual compensation limit is $200,000. For any self-employed individual
       covered under the plan, compensation will mean earned income.
       Compensation shall include only that compensation which is actually paid
       to the participant during the applicable period. Except as provided
       elsewhere in this plan, the applicable period shall be the plan year.
       Furthermore, notwithstanding the above, the definition of compensation
       includes elective contributions made by the Employer on the Employee's
       behalf. "Elective contributions" are amounts excludible from the
       Employee's gross income under Code Section 402(a)(8) (relating to a Code 
       Section 401(k) arrangement), Code Section 402(h) (relating to a 
       Simplified Employee Pension), Code Section 125 (relating to a cafeteria
       plan) or Code Section 403(b) (relating to a tax-sheltered annuity) and 
       contributed at the Employee's election. The term "Compensation" does 
       not include:

       (A)    Employer contributions (other than "elective contributions") to a
              plan of deferred compensation to the extent the contributions are
              not included in the gross income of the Employee for the taxable
              year in which contributed, on behalf of an Employee to a
              Simplified Employee Pension Plan to the extent such contributions
              are excludible from the Employee's gross income, and any
              distributions from a plan of deferred compensation, regardless of
              whether such amounts are includible in the gross income of the
              Employee when distributed.
         
       (B)    Amounts realized from the exercise of a non-qualified stock
              option, or when restricted stock (or property) held by an
              Employee either becomes freely transferable or is no longer
              subject to a substantial risk of forfeiture.
         
       (C)    Amounts realized from the sale, exchange or other disposition of
              stock acquired under a qualified stock option.
         
       (D)    Other amounts which receive special tax benefits, such as
              premiums for group term life insurance (but only to the extent
              that the premiums are not includible in the gross income of the
              Employee), or contributions made by an Employer (whether or not
              under a salary reduction agreement) towards the purchase of an
              annuity contract described in Code Section 403(b) (whether or 
              not the contributions are excludible from the gross income of the
              Employee), other than "elective contributions," if elected in the
              Employer's Adoption Agreement.

       Any reference in this Plan to Compensation is a reference to the
       definition in this Section 1.12, unless the Plan reference specifies a
       modification to this definition. The Advisory Committee will take into
       account only Compensation actually paid for the relevant period.

       For any Plan Year beginning after December 31, 1988, the Advisory
       Committee must take into account only the first $200,000 (or such larger
       amount as the Commissioner of Internal Revenue may prescribe under Code
       Section 415(d)) of any Participant's Compensation, except that the dollar
       increase in effect on January 1 of any calendar year is effective for
       years beginning in such calendar year and the first adjustment to the
       $200,000 limitation is effected on January 1,1990. If a plan determines
       compensation on a period of time that contains fewer than 12 calendar
       months, then the annual compensation limit is an amount equal to the
       annual compensation limit for the calendar year in which the
       compensation period begins multiplied by the ratio obtained by dividing
       the number of full months in the period by 12.  The $200,000
       Compensation limitation applies to the combined Compensation of the
       Employee and of any family member aggregated with the Employee under
       Section 1.09 and who is either (i) the Employee's spouse; or (ii) the
       Employee's lineal descendant who has not attained age 19 before the
       close of the year. If, as a result of the application of such rules, the
       adjusted $200,000 limitation is exceeded, then (except for purposes of
       determining the portion of compensation up to the integration level if
       this plan provides for permitted disparity, the Advisory Committee will
       apply the contribution and allocation provisions of Article III by
       prorating the $200,000 (or adjusted) limitation among the affected
       individuals in proportion to each such individual's Compensation
       determined prior to application of this limitation.

PLAN DOCUMENT



         NONDISCRIMINATION. For purposes of determining whether the Plan
         discriminates in favor of Highly Compensated Employees: Compensation
         means Compensation as defined in this Section 1.12.

         Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, compensation for a participant
         in a defined contribution plan who is permanently and totally disabled
         (as defined in Code Section 22(e)(3)) is the compensation such
         Participant would have received for the limitation year if the
         participant had been paid at the rate of compensation paid immediately
         before becoming permanently and totally disabled; such imputed
         compensation for the disabled Participant may be taken into account
         only if the participant is not a highly compensated employee (as
         defined in Code Section 414(g)) and contributions made on behalf of 
         such participant are nonforfeitable when made.

1.13     "EARNED INCOME" means net earnings from self-employment in the trade
         or business with respect to which the Employer has established the
         Plan, provided personal services of the individual are a material
         income producing factor. The Advisory Committee will determine net
         earnings without regard to items excluded from gross income and the
         deductions allocable to those items. Net earnings are reduced by
         contributions by the employer to a qualified plan to the extent
         deductible under Code Section 404. The Advisory Committee will 
         determine net earnings after the deduction allowed to the 
         Self-Employed Individual for all contributions made by the Employer 
         to a qualified plan and, for Plan Years beginning after December 31, 
         1989, the deduction allowed to the Self-Employed under Code 
         Section 164(f) for self-employment taxes.

1.14     "ACCOUNT" means the separate account(s) which the Advisory Committee
         or the Trustee maintains for a Participant under the Employer's Plan.

1.15     "ACCRUED BENEFIT" means the amount standing in a Participant's
         Account(s) as of any date derived from both Employer contributions and
         Employee contributions and earnings thereon including rollovers
         whether vested before or after death and including the proceeds of
         insurance contracts on the participant's life, if any.

1.16     "NONFORFEITABLE" means a Participant's or Beneficiary's unconditional
         claim, legally enforceable against the Plan, to the Participant's
         Accrued Benefit.

1.17     "PLAN YEAR" means the fiscal year, of the Plan, the consecutive month
         period specified in the Employer's Adoption Agreement. The Employer's
         Adoption Agreement also must specify the "Limitation Year" applicable
         to the limitations on allocations described in Article III. If the
         Employer maintains Paired Plans, each Plan must have the same Plan
         Year.

1.18     "EFFECTIVE DATE" of this Plan is the date specified in the Employer's
         Adoption Agreement.

1.19     "PLAN ENTRY DATE" means the first day of the Plan Year or the first
         day of the sixth month of the Plan Year.

1.20     "ACCOUNTING DATE" is the last day of an Employer's Plan Year. Unless
         otherwise specified in the Plan, the Advisory Committee will make all
         Plan allocations for a particular Plan Year as of the Accounting Date
         of that Plan Year.

1.21     "TRUST" means the separate Trust created under the Employer's Plan.

1.22     "TRUST FUND" means all property of every kind held or acquired by the
         Trustee under the Employer's Plan, other than incidental benefit
         insurance contracts.

1.23     "NONTRANSFERABLE ANNUITY" means an annuity which by its terms provides
         that it may not be sold, assigned, discounted, pledged as collateral
         for a loan or security for the performance of an obligation or for any
         purpose to any person other than Kemper Investors Life Insurance
         Company. If the Trustee distributes an annuity contract, the contract
         must be a Nontransferable Annuity.

1.24     "ERISA" means the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as
         amended.

l.25     "CODE" means the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

1.26     "SERVICE" means any period of time the Employee is in the employ of
         the Employer, including any period the Employee is on an unpaid leave
         of absence authorized by the Employer under a uniform,
         nondiscriminatory policy applicable to all Employees. "Separation from
         Service" means a separation from Service with the Employer maintaining
         this Plan.

1.27     "HOUR OF SERVICE" means:


         (A)     Each Hour of Service for which the Employer, either directly
                 or indirectly, pays an Employee, or for which the Employee is
                 entitled to payment, for the performance of duties for the
                 Employer. The Advisory Committee credits Hours of Service
                 under this paragraph (a) to the Employee for the computation
                 period in which the Employee performs the duties, irrespective
                 of when paid;

         (B)     Each Hour of Service for back pay, irrespective of mitigation
                 of damages, to which the Employer has agreed or for which the
                 Employee has received an award. The Advisory Committee credits
                 Hours of Service under this paragraph (b) to the Employee for
                 the computation period(s) to which the award or the agreement
                 pertains rather than for the computation period in which the
                 award, agreement or payment is made; and





                                       3
<PAGE>   38

         (C)     Each Hour of Service for which the Employer, either directly
                 or indirectly, pays an Employee, or for which the Employee is
                 entitled to payment (irrespective of whether the employment
                 relationship is terminated) for reasons other than for the
                 performance of duties during a computation period, such as
                 leave of absence, vacation, holiday, sick leave, illness,
                 incapacity (including disability), layoff, jury duty or
                 military duty. The Advisory Committee will credit no more than
                 501 Hours of Service under this paragraph (c) to an Employee
                 on account of any single continuous period during which the
                 Employee does not perform any duties (whether or not such
                 period occurs during a single computation period). The
                 Advisory Committee credits Hours of Service under this
                 paragraph (c) in accordance with the rules of paragraphs (b)
                 and (c) of Labor Reg. Section 2530.200b-2, which the Plan, by 
                 this reference, specifically incorporates in full within this
                 paragraph (c).

         The Advisory Committee will not credit an Hour of Service under more
         than one of the above paragraphs. A computation period for purposes of
         this Section 1.27 is the Plan Year, Year of Service period, Break in
         Service period or other period, as determined under the Plan provision
         for which the Advisory Committee is measuring an Employee's Hours of
         Service. The Advisory Committee will resolve any ambiguity with
         respect to the crediting of an Hour of Service in favor of the
         Employee.

         An Employee for whom a record of hours worked is not maintained shall
         be credited with 45 Hours of Service for each week in which he or she
         completes at least one Hour of Service.

         Solely for purposes of determining whether the Employee incurs a Break
         in Service under any provision of this Plan, the Advisory Committee
         must credit Hours of Service during an Employee's unpaid absence
         period due to maternity or paternity leave. The Advisory Committee
         considers an Employee on maternity or paternity leave if the
         Employee's absence is due to the Employee's pregnancy, the birth of
         the Employee's child, the placement with the Employee of an adopted
         child, or the care of the Employee's child immediately following the
         child's birth or placement. The Advisory Committee credits Hours of
         Service under this paragraph on the basis of the number of Hours of
         Service the Employee would receive if he were paid during the absence
         period or, if the Advisory Committee cannot determine the number of
         Hours of Service the Employee would receive, on the basis of 8 hours
         per day during the absence period. The Advisory Committee will credit
         only the number (not exceeding 501) of Hours of Service necessary to
         prevent an Employee's Break in Service. The Advisory Committee credits
         all Hours of Service described in this paragraph to the computation
         period in which the absence period begins or, if the Employee does not
         need these Hours of Service to prevent a Break in Service in the
         computation period in which his absence period begins, the Advisory
         Committee credits these Hours of Service to the immediately following
         computation period.

         Hours of service will also be credited for any individual considered
         an employee for purposes of this Plan under Code Section 414(n) or
         Section 414(o) and the regulations thereunder.

1.28     "DISABILITY" means inability to engage in any substantial gainful
         activity by reason of any medically determinable physical or mental
         impairment that can be expected to result in death or which has lasted
         or can be expected to last for a continuous period of not less than 12
         months. The permanence and degree of such impairment shall be
         supported by medical evidence. The Plan considers a Participant
         disabled on the date the Advisory Committee determines the Participant
         satisfies the definition of disability. The Advisory Committee may
         require a Participant to submit to a physical examination in order to
         confirm disability. The Advisory Committee will apply the provisions
         of this Section 1.28 in a nondiscriminatory, consistent and uniform
         manner.

1.29     "SERVICE FOR PREDECESSOR EMPLOYER"
         If the Employer maintains the plan of a predecessor employer, the Plan
         treats service of the Employee with the predecessor employer as
         service with the Employer. If the Employer does not maintain the plan
         of a predecessor employer, the Plan does not credit service with the
         predecessor employer.
        
1.30     "RELATED EMPLOYERS"
         A related group is a controlled group of corporations (as
         defined in Code Section 414(b)), trades or businesses (whether or not
         incorporated) which are under common control (as defined in Code
         Section 414(c)), or an affiliated service group (as defined in Code
         Section 414(m) or in Code Section 414(o)). If the Employer is a member
         of a related group, the term "Employer" includes the related group
         members for purposes of crediting Hours of Service, determining Years
         of Service and Breaks in Service under Articles II and V, applying the
         limitations on allocations in Part 2 of Article III, applying the top
         heavy rules and the minimum allocation requirements of Article III,
         the definitions of Employee, Highly Compensated Employee, Compensation
         and Leased Employee, and for any other purpose required by the
         applicable Code section or by a Plan provision. However, an Employer
         may contribute to the Plan only by being a signatory to the Execution
         Page of the Adoption Agreement or to a Participation Agreement to the
         Employer's Adoption Agreement. If one or more of the Employer's
         related group members becomes Participating Employers by executing a
         Participation Agreement to the Employer's Adoption Agreement, the term
         "Employer" includes the participating related group members, for all
         purposes of the Plan, and "Plan Administrator" means the Employer that
         is the signatory to the Execution Page of the Adoption Agreement.

         All Employees of the Employer or of any member of the Employer's
         related group, are eligible to participate in the Plan, irrespective
         of whether the related group member directly employing the Employee is
         a Participating Employer.

PLAN DOCUMENT

1.31     "LEASED EMPLOYEES"
         The Plan treats a Leased Employee as an Employee of the Employer. A
         Leased Employee is an individual (who otherwise is not an Employee of
         the Employer) who, pursuant to a leasing agreement between the
         Employer and any other person, has performed services for the Employer
         (or for the Employer and any persons related to the Employer
         determined in accordance with Code Section 414(n)(6) on a substantially
         full-time basis for at least one year and who performs services
         historically performed by employees in the Employer's business field.
         If a Leased Employee is treated as an Employee by reason of this
         Section 1.31 of the Plan, "Compensation" includes Compensation from
         the leasing organization which is attributable to services performed
         for the Employer. Contributions or benefits provided a leased employee
         by the leasing organization which are attributable to services
         performed for the recipient employer shall be treated as provided by
         the recipient employer.

         SAFE HARBOR PLAN EXCEPTION. The Plan does not treat a Leased Employee
         as an Employee if the leasing organization covers the employee in a
         safe harbor plan and, prior to application of this safe harbor plan
         exception, 20% or less of the Employer's Employees (other than Highly
         Compensated Employees) are Leased Employees. A safe harbor plan is a
         money purchase pension plan providing immediate participation, full
         and immediate vesting, and a nonintegrated contribution formula equal
         to at least 10% of the employee's compensation without regard to
         employment by the leasing organization on a specified date. The safe
         harbor plan must determine the 10% contribution on the basis of
         compensation as defined in Code Section 415(c)(3) plus elective 
         contributions (as defined in Section 1.12).

         OTHER REQUIREMENTS. The Advisory Committee must apply this Section
         1.31 in a manner consistent with Code Sections 414(n) and 414(o) and 
         the regulations issued under those Code sections. If a Leased 
         Employee is a Participant in the Plan and also participates in a 
         defined contribution plan maintained by the leasing organization, 
         then the Advisory Committee will determine the Leased Employee's 
         allocation of Employer contributions under Article III without 
         taking into account the Leased Employee's allocation, if any, under 
         the leasing organization's plan.

1.32     "SPECIAL RULES FOR OWNER-EMPLOYEES"
         The following special provisions and restrictions apply to
         Owner-Employees:

         If this plan provides contributions or benefits for one or more
         owner-employees who control both the business for which this plan is
         established and one or more other trades or businesses, this plan and
         the plan established for other trades or businesses must, when looked
         at as a single plan, satisfy sections 401(a) and (d) for the
         employees of this and all other trades or businesses.

         If the plan provides contributions or benefits for one or more
         owner-employees who control one or more other trades or businesses,
         the employees of the other trades or businesses must be included in a
         plan which satisfies sections 401(a) and (d) and which provides
         contributions and benefits not less favorable than provided for
         owner-employees under this plan.

         If an individual is covered as an owner-employee under the plans of
         two or more trades or businesses which are not controlled and the
         individual controls a trade or business, then the contributions or
         benefits of the employees under the plan of the trades or businesses
         which are controlled must be as favorable as those provided for him
         under the most favorable plan of the trade or business which is not
         controlled.

         For purposes of the preceding paragraphs, an owner-employee, or two or
         more owner-employees, will be considered to control a trade or
         business if the owner-employee, or two or more owner-employees
         together:

         (1)     own the entire interest in an unincorporated trade or
                 business, or

         (2)     in the case of a partnership, own more than 50 percent of
                 either the capital interest or the profits interest in the 
                 partnership.

         For purposes of the preceding sentence, an owner-employee, or two or
         more owner-employees shall be treated as owning any interest in a
         partnership which is owned, directly or indirectly, by a partnership
         which such owner-employee, or such two or more owner-employees, are
         considered to control within the meaning of the preceding sentence.

1.33     "TAXABLE WAGE BASE" means 100% of the taxable wage base as determined
         under Section 230 of the Social Security Act in effect on the first
         day of the plan year.

1.34     "PAIRED PLANS" means the Employer has adopted two Standardized Plan
         Adoption Agreements offered with this Kemper Retirement Plan Prototype
         Keogh/Corporate, one Adoption Agreement being a Paired Profit Sharing
         Plan and one Adoption Agreement being a Paired Pension Plan. A Paired
         Profit Sharing Plan may include a Code Section 401(k) arrangement. A 
         Paired Pension Plan must be a money purchase pension plan.  Paired 
         Plans must be the subject of a favorable opinion letter issued by 
         the National Office of the Internal Revenue Service.

1.35     "MEMBER OF A COLLECTIVE BARGAINING UNIT" means any employee who is
         included in a unit and whose terms and conditions of employment are
         covered by a collective bargaining agreement between the Employer and
         employee representatives which does not provide for participation in
         the Plan, provided that there is evidence that, in connection with
         such agreement, retirement benefits were the subject of good-faith
         bargaining. For this purpose, the term "employee representatives" does
         not include any organization more than half of whose members are
         employees who are owners, officers or executives of the Employer.

1.36     "DESIGNATED INVESTMENT COMPANY" means any registered investment
         company the investment manager or principal underwriter of which is
         Kemper Financial Services, Inc. or an affiliate.

                                   ARTICLE II
                             EMPLOYEE PARTICIPANTS

2.01     "ELIGIBILITY"
         Each Employee becomes a Participant in the Plan in accordance with the
         participation option selected by the Employer in its Adoption
         Agreement. If this Plan is a restated Plan, each Employee who was a
         Participant in the Plan on the day before the Effective Date continues
         as a Participant in the Plan.

2.02     "YEAR OF SERVICE - PARTICIPATION"
         For purposes of an Employee's participation in the Plan under Adoption
         Agreement Section 2.01, the Plan takes into account all of his Years
         of Service with the Employer, except that if an Employee has a Break
         in Service before satisfying the Plan's requirement for eligibility,
         Service before such break will not be taken into account. "Year of
         Service" means a 12 consecutive month period during which the Employee
         completes not less than 1,000 Hours of Service, measuring the
         beginning of the first 12 month period from the Employment
         Commencement Date, and each anniversary thereof. "Employment
         Commencement Date" means the date on which the Employee first performs
         an Hour of Service for the Employer.

2.03     "BREAK IN SERVICE - PARTICIPATION"
         An Employee incurs a "Break in Service" if during any 12 consecutive
         month period he does not complete more than 500 Hours of Service with
         the Employer. The "12 consecutive month period" under this Section 2.03
         is the same 12 consecutive month period for which the Plan measures
         "Years of Service" under Section 2.02.

         TWO-YEAR ELIGIBILITY. If the Employer elects a 2 years of service
         condition for eligibility purposes under Adoption Agreement Section
         2.01, the Plan treats an Employee who incurs a one year Break in
         Service and who has never become a Participant as a new Employee on
         the date he first performs an Hour of Service for the Employer after
         the Break in Service.

2.04     "PARTICIPATION UPON RE-EMPLOYMENT"
         A Participant whose employment terminates re-enters the Plan as a
         Participant on the date of his re-employment. An Employee who
         satisfies the Plans' eligibility conditions but who terminates
         employment prior to becoming a Participant becomes a Participant on
         the later of the Plan Entry Date on which he would have entered the
         Plan had he not terminated employment or the date of his
         re-employment.  Any Employee who terminates employment prior to
         satisfying the Plan's eligibility conditions becomes a Participant in
         accordance with Adoption Agreement Section 2.01.

2.05     "CHANGE IN EMPLOYEE STATUS"
         If a Participant has not incurred a Separation from Service but ceases
         to be eligible to participate in the Plan, by reason of becoming a
         member of a Collective Bargaining Unit, the Advisory Committee must
         treat the Participant as an excluded employee during the period such a
         Participant is a Member of a Collective Bargaining Unit. The Advisory
         Committee determines a Participant's sharing in the allocation of
         Employer contributions by disregarding his Compensation paid by the
         Employer for services rendered in his capacity as a Member of a
         Collective Bargaining Unit. However, during such period of exclusion,
         the Participant, without regard to employment classification,
         continues to receive credit for vesting under Article V for each
         included Year of Service and the Participant' Account continues to
         share fully in Trust Fund allocations under Section 9.11.

         If an excluded employee who is not a Participant becomes eligible to
         participate in the Plan by reason of a change in employment
         classification, he will participate in the Plan immediately if he has
         satisfied the eligibility conditions of Section 2.01 and would have
         been a Participant had he not been an excluded employee during his
         period of Service. Furthermore, the Plan takes into account all of the
         Participant's included Years of Service with the Employer as an
         Excluded Employee for purposes of vesting credit under Article V.

         In the event a participant is no longer a member of an eligible class
         of employees and becomes ineligible to participate but has not
         incurred a break in service, such employee will participate
         immediately upon returning to an eligible class of employees. If such
         participant incurs a break in service, eligibility will be determined
         under the break in service rules of the plan.

2.06     "ELECTION NOT TO PARTICIPATE"
         The Plan does not permit an otherwise eligible Employee nor any
         Participant to elect not to participate in the Plan.

                                  ARTICLE III

                     EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS AND FORFEITURES

PART 1. AMOUNT OF EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTIONS AND PLAN ALLOCATIONS:

SECTIONS 3.01 THROUGH 3.06

3.01     "AMOUNT"
         For each Plan Year, the Employer contributes to the Trust the amount
         determined by application of the contribution option selected by the
         Employer in its Adoption Agreement. The Employer may not make a
         contribution to the Trust for any Plan Year to the extent the
         contribution would exceed the Participants' Maximum Permissible
         Amounts.

         The Trustee, upon written request from the Employer, must return to
         the Employer the amount of the Employer's contribution made by the
         Employer by mistake of fact or the amount of the Employer's
         contribution disallowed as a deduction under Code Section 404. The
         Trustee will not return any portion of the Employer's contribution
         under the provisions of this paragraph more than one year after:

         (A) The Employer made the contribution by mistake of fact; or

         (B) The disallowance of the contribution as a deduction, and then,
             only to the extent of the disallowance.

         The Trustee will not increase the amount of the Employer contribution
         returnable under this Section 3.01 for any earnings attributable to
         the contribution, but the Trustee will decrease the Employer
         contribution returnable for any losses attributable to it. The Trustee
         may require the Employer to furnish it whatever evidence the Trustee
         deems necessary to enable the Trustee to confirm the amount the
         Employer has requested be returned is properly returnable under ERISA.

3.02     "DETERMINATION OF CONTRIBUTION"
         The Employer, from its records, determines the amount of any
         contributions to be made by it to the Trust under the terms of the 
         Plan.

3.03     "TIME OF PAYMENT OF CONTRIBUTION"
         The Employer may pay its contribution for each Plan Year in one or
         more installments without interest. The Employer must make its
         contribution to the Trustee within the time prescribed by the Code or
         applicable Treasury regulations.

3.04     "RESERVED"

3.05     "ACCRUAL OF BENEFIT"
         The accrual of benefit shall be determined on the basis of the Plan
         Year. In determining the amount of the Employer contribution to a
         participant's account, only compensation with respect to that part of
         a Plan Year the employee is actually a participant shall be taken into
         account.

         Employer contributions will be allocated to each Participant who
         either completes 500 hours of service during the Plan Year or who is
         employed by the Employer on the last day of the Plan Year.

PART 2. LIMITATIONS ON ALLOCATIONS: SECTIONS 3.06 THROUGH 3.09

         [Note: Sections 3.06 through 3.09 apply only to Participants in this
         Plan who do not participate, and who have never participated, in
         another qualified plan or in a welfare benefit fund as defined in Code
         Section 419(e) or an individual medical account as defined in Code
         Section 415(1)(2) maintained by the Employer.

3.06     The amount of Annual Additions which the Advisory Committee may
         allocate under this Plan on a Participant's behalf for a Limitation
         Year may not exceed the Maximum Permissible Amount. If the amount the
         Employer otherwise would contribute to the Participant's Account would
         cause the Annual Additions for the Limitation Year to exceed the
         Maximum Permissible Amount, the Employer will reduce the amount of its
         contribution so the Annual Additions for the Limitation Year will
         equal the Maximum Permissible Amount.

3.07     Prior to the determination of the Participant's actual Compensation
         for a Limitation Year, the Advisory Committee may determine the
         Maximum Permissible Amount on the basis of the Participant's estimated
         annual Compensation for such Limitation Year. The Advisory Committee
         must make this determination on a reasonable and uniform basis for all
         Participants similarly situated.

3.08     As soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the
         Limitation Year, the Advisory Committee will determine the Maximum
         Permissible Amount for such Limitation Year on the basis of the
         Participant's actual Compensation for such Limitation Year.

3.09     If, pursuant to Section 3.08 there is an Excess Amount with respect to
         a Participant for a Limitation Year, the Advisory Committee will
         dispose of such Excess Amount as follows:





                                       7
<PAGE>   42

         (A)     The Advisory Committee will return any nondeductible voluntary
                 Employee contributions to the Participant to the extent the
                 return would reduce the Excess Amount.

         (B)     If after the application of paragraph (a) an excess amount
                 still exists, and the Participant is covered by the Plan at
                 the end of the Limitation Year, the Excess Amount in the
                 Participant's account will be used to reduce Employer
                 Contributions (including any allocation of forfeitures) for
                 such Participant in the next Limitation Year, and each
                 succeeding Limitation Year if necessary.

         (C)     If, after the application of paragraph (b), an Excess Amount
                 still exists, and the Plan does not cover the Participant at
                 the end of the Limitation Year, then the Advisory Committee
                 will hold the Excess Amount unallocated in a suspense account.
                 The Advisory Committee will apply the suspense account to
                 reduce Employer Contributions for all remaining Participants
                 in the next Limitation Year, and in each succeeding Limitation
                 Year if necessary.

         (D)     The Advisory Committee will not distribute any Excess
                 Amount(s) to Participants or to former Participants. If a
                 suspense account is in existence at any time during a
                 limitation year pursuant to this section, it will not
                 participate in the allocation of the trust's investment gains
                 and losses. If a suspense account is in existence at any time
                 during a particular limitation year, all amounts in the
                 suspense account must be allocated and reallocated to
                 participants' accounts before any employer or any employee
                 contributions may be made to the plan for that limitation
                 year.

         [Note: Sections 3.10 through 3.15 apply if, in addition to this Plan,
         the Participant is covered under another qualified master or prototype
         defined contribution plan maintained by the Employer, a welfare
         benefit fund, as defined in Code Section 419(e) maintained by the 
         Employer or an individual medical account, as defined in Code Section 
         415(1)(2) maintained by the Employer which provides an annual 
         addition during any Limitation Year.]

3.10     The annual additions which may be credited to a participant's account
         under this plan for any such limitation year will not exceed the
         maximum permissible amount reduced by the annual additions credited to
         a participant's account under the other plans and welfare benefit
         funds for the same limitation year. If the annual additions with
         respect to the participant under other defined contribution plans and
         welfare benefit funds maintained by the employer are less than the
         maximum permissible amount and the employer contribution that would
         otherwise be contributed or allocated to the participant's account
         under this plan would cause the annual additions for the limitation
         year to exceed this limitation, the amount contributed or allocated
         will be reduced so that the annual additions under all such plans and
         funds for the limitation year will equal the maximum permissible
         amount. If the annual additions with respect to the participant under
         such other defined contribution plans and welfare benefit funds in the
         aggregate are equal to or greater than the maximum permissible amount,
         no amount will be contributed or allocated to the participant's
         account under this plan for the limitation year.

3.11     Prior to the determination of the Participant's actual Compensation
         for the Limitation Year, the Advisory Committee may determine the
         amounts referred to in 3.10 above on the basis of the Participant's
         estimated annual Compensation for such Limitation Year. The Advisory
         Committee will make this determination on a reasonable and uniform
         basis for all Participants similarly situated.

3.12     As soon as is administratively feasible after the end of the
         Limitation Year, the Advisory Committee will determine the amounts
         referred to in 3.10 on the basis of the Participant's actual
         Compensation for such Limitation Year.

3.13     If pursuant to Section 3.12, a Participant's Annual Additions under
         this Plan and all such other plans result in an Excess Amount, such
         Excess Amount will consist of the Amounts last allocated. The Advisory
         Committee will determine the Amounts last allocated by treating the
         Annual Additions attributable to a welfare benefit fund or individual
         medical account as allocated first, irrespective of the actual
         allocation date under the welfare benefit fund.

3.14     If the Advisory Committee allocates an Excess Amount to a Participant
         on an allocation date of this Plan which coincides with an allocation
         date of another plan, the Excess Amount attributed to this Plan equals
         the product of:

         (i)     the total Excess Amount allocated as of such date (including
                 any amount which the Advisory Committee would have allocated
                 but for the limitations of Code Section 415), times

         (ii)    the ratio of (1) the amount allocated to the Participant as of
                 such date under this Plan divided by (2) the total amount
                 allocated as of such date under all qualified master or
                 prototype defined contribution plans (determined without
                 regard to the limitations of Code Section 415).

3.15     The Advisory Committee will dispose of any Excess Amounts attributed
         to this Plan as provided in Section 3.09.

         [Note: Section 3.16 applies only to Participants who, in addition to
         this Plan, participate in one or more qualified plans which are
         qualified defined contribution plans other than a Master or Prototype
         plan maintained by the Employer during the Limitation Year.]

PLAN DOCUMENT

3.16     "SPECIAL ALLOCATION LIMITATION"
         The amount of Annual Additions which the Advisory Committee may
         allocate under this Plan on behalf of any Participant are limited in
         accordance with the provisions of Section 3.10 through 3.15, as though
         the other plan were a Master or Prototype plan.

3.17     "DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN LIMITATION"
         If the Employer maintains a defined benefit plan, or has ever
         maintained a defined benefit plan which the Employer has terminated,
         then the sum of the defined benefit plan fraction and the defined
         contribution plan fraction for any Participant for any Limitation Year
         must not exceed 1.0. The annual additions which may be credited to the
         participant's account under this plan for any limitation year will be
         limited in accordance with Section 3.17 of the adoption agreement. To
         the extent necessary to satisfy the limitations of this Section 3.17,
         the Employer will reduce the Participant's projected annual benefit
         under the defined benefit plan under which the Participant
         participates. The Employer also must provide in an addendum to its
         Adoption Agreement the manner in which the Plan will satisfy the
         top-heavy requirements of Code Section 416 after taking into account 
         the existence (or prior maintenance) of the defined benefit plan.

3.18     "DEFINITIONS - ARTICLE III"
         For purposes of this Article III, the following terms mean:

         (A)     "ANNUAL ADDITION" - The sum of the following amounts
                 allocated on behalf of a Participant for a Limitation Year, of
                 (i) all Employer contributions; (ii) all forfeitures; and
                 (iii) all Employee contributions. Except to the extent
                 provided in Treasury regulations, Annual Additions include
                 excess contributions described in Code Section 401(k), excess 
                 aggregate contributions described in Code Section 401(m) and
                 excess deferrals described in Code Section 402(g),
                 irrespective of whether the plan distributes or forfeits such
                 excess amounts. Annual Additions also include Excess Amounts
                 reapplied to reduce Employer contributions under Section 3.09. 
                 Amounts allocated after March 31, 1984, to an individual
                 medical account (as defined in Code Section 415(1)(2))
                 included as part of a defined benefit pension or annuity plan
                 maintained by the Employer are Annual Additions. Furthermore,
                 Annual Additions include contributions paid or accrued after
                 December 31, 1985, for taxable years ending after December
                 31,1985, attributable to post-retirement medical benefits
                 allocated to the separate account of a key employee (as
                 defined in Code Section 419A(d)(3)) under a welfare benefit
                 fund (as defined in Code Section 419(e)) maintained by the
                 Employer. For this purpose, any excess amount applied in the
                 limitation year to reduce employer contributions will be
                 considered annual additions for such   limitation year.
        
         (B)     "COMPENSATION" - For purposes of applying the limitations of
                 Part 2 of this Article III, "Compensation" means a
                 participant's earned income, wages, salaries, and fees for
                 professional services and other amounts received (without
                 regard to whether or not an amount is paid in cash) for
                 personal services actually rendered in the course of
                 employment with the employer maintaining the plan to the
                 extent that the amounts are includible in gross income
                 (including, but not limited to, commissions paid salesmen,
                 compensation for services on the basis of a percentage of
                 profits, commissions on insurance premiums, tips, bonuses,
                 fringe benefits, reimbursements and expense allowances), and
                 excluding the following:

                 (I)      Employer contributions to a plan of deferred
                          compensation which are not includible in the
                          employee's gross income for the taxable year in which
                          contributed, or employer contributions under a
                          simplified employee pension plan to the extent such
                          contributions are deductible by the employee, or any
                          distributions from a plan of deferred compensation;

                 (II)     Amounts realized from the exercise of a nonqualified
                          stock option, or when restricted stock (or property)
                          held by the employee either becomes freely
                          transferable or is no longer subject to a substantial
                          risk of forfeiture;

                 (III)    Amounts realized from the sale, exchange or other
                          disposition of stock acquired under a qualified stock
                          option; and

                 (IV)     other amounts which received special tax benefits, or
                          contributions made by the employer (whether or not
                          under a salary reduction agreement) towards the
                          purchase of an annuity described in section 403(b) of
                          the Internal Revenue Code (whether or not the amounts
                          are actually excludible from the gross income of the
                          employee).

         For purposes of applying the limitations of this article, 
         compensation for a limitation year is the compensation actually paid 
         or includible in gross income during such limitation year.

         Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, compensation for a participant
         in a defined contribution plan who is permanently and totally disabled
         (as defined in Section 22(e)(3) of the Code) is the compensation such
         participant would have received for the limitation year if the
         participant would have received for the limitation year if the
         participant had been paid at the rate of compensation paid immediately
         before becoming permanently and totally disabled; such imputed
         compensation for the disabled participant may be taken into account
         only if the participant is not a highly compensated employee (as
         defined in Section 414(g) of the Code) and contributions made on 
         behalf of such participant are nonforfeitable when made.

         (C)     "EMPLOYER" - The Employer that adopts this Plan and any
                 related employers described in Section 1.30. Solely for
                 purposes of applying the limitations of Part 2 of this Article
                 III, the Advisory Committee will determine related employers
                 described in Section 1.30 by modifying Code Sections 414(b)
                 and (c) in accordance with Code Section 415(h).

         (D)     "EXCESS AMOUNT" - The excess of the Participant's Annual
                 Additions for the Limitation Year over the Maximum Permissible
                 Amount.

         (E)     "LIMITATION YEAR" - The period selected by the Employer under
                 Adoption Agreement Section 1.17. All qualified plans of the
                 Employer must use the same Limitation Year. If the Employer
                 amends the Limitation Year to a different 12 consecutive
                 month period, the new Limitation Year must begin on a date
                 within the Limitation Year for which the Employer makes the
                 amendment, creating a short Limitation Year.

         (F)     "MASTER OR PROTOTYPE PLAN" - A plan the form of which is the
                 subject of a favorable opinion letter from the Internal
                 Revenue Service.

         (G)     "MAXIMUM PERMISSIBLE AMOUNT" - The lesser of (i) $30,000 (or,
                 if greater, one-fourth of the defined benefit dollar
                 limitation under Code Section 415(b)(1)(A)), or (ii) 25% of the
                 Participant's Compensation for the Limitation Year. If there
                 is a short Limitation Year because of a change in Limitation
                 Year, the Advisory Committee will multiply the $30,000 (or
                 adjusted) limitation by the following fraction:

                 Number of months in the short Limitation Year: 12
                 The 25% compensation limitation shall not apply to any
                 contribution for medical benefits (within the meaning of Code
                 Section 401(h) or 419A(f)(2) which is otherwise treated as an
                 annual addition under Code Section 415(l)(1) or 419A(d)(2).

                 (H)     "DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN" - A retirement plan which
                 provides for an individual account for each participant and
                 for benefits based solely on the amount contributed to the
                 participant's account, and any income, expenses, gains and
                 losses, and any forfeitures of accounts of other participants
                 which the plan may allocate to such participant's account. The
                 Advisory Committee must treat all defined contribution plans
                 (whether or not terminated) maintained by the Employer as a
                 single plan.  Solely for purposes of the limitations of Part 2
                 of this Article III, the Advisory Committee will treat
                 employee contributions made to a defined benefit plan
                 maintained by the Employer as a separate defined contribution
                 plan. The Advisory Committee also will treat as a defined
                 contribution plan an individual medical account (as defined in
                 Code Section 415(1)(2)) included as part of a defined benefit
                 plan maintained by the Employer and, for taxable years ending
                 after December 31,1985, a welfare benefit fund under Code
                 Section 419(e) maintained by the Employer to the extent there
                 are post-retirement medical benefits allocated to the separate
                 account of a key employee (as defined in Code Section  
                 419A(d)(3)).
        
         (I)     "DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN" - A retirement plan which does not
                 provide for individual accounts for Employer contributions.
                 The Advisory Committee must treat all defined benefit plans
                 (whether or not terminated) maintained by the Employer as a
                 single plan.

                 [Note: The definitions in paragraphs (j) and (k) apply only if
                 the limitation described in Section 3.17 applies to the
                 Employer's Plan.]

         (J)     "DEFINED BENEFIT PLAN FRACTION" -PROJECTED annual benefit of
                 the Participant under the defined benefit plan(s) The lesser of

                    (I)  125% of the dollar limitation determined under
                         Code Section 415 (b) and (d) for the Limitation Year,
                         or   

                    (II) 140% of the Participant's average Compensation
                         for his high three (3) consecutive Years of Service

                 To determine the denominator of this fraction, the
                 Advisory Committee will make any adjustment required under
                 Code Section 415(b) and will determine a Year of Service,
                 unless otherwise provided in an addendum to Adoption Agreement
                 Section 3.06, as a Plan Year in which the Employee completed
                 at least 1,000 Hours of Service. The "projected annual
                 benefit" is the annual retirement benefit (adjusted to an
                 actuarially equivalent straight life annuity if the plan
                 expresses such benefit in a form other than a straight life
                 annuity or qualified joint and survivor annuity) of the
                 Participant under the terms of the defined benefit plan on the
                 assumptions he continues employment until his normal
                 retirement age (or current age, if later) as stated in the
                 defined benefit plan, his compensation continues at the same
                 rate as in effect in the Limitation Year under consideration
                 until the date of his normal retirement age and all other
                 relevant factors used to determine benefits under the defined
                 benefit plan remain constant as of the current Limitation Year
                 for all future Limitation Years.

                 CURRENT ACCRUED BENEFIT. If the Participant accrued benefits
                 in one or more defined benefit plans maintained by the
                 Employer which were in existence on May 6, 1986, the dollar
                 limitation used in the denominator of this fraction will not
                 be less than the Participant's Current Accrued Benefit. A
                 Participant's Current Accrued Benefit is the sum of the annual
                 benefits under such defined benefit plans which the
                 Participant had accrued as of the end of the 1986 Limitation
                 Year (the last Limitation Year beginning before January
                 1, 1987), determined without regard to any cost of living
                 adjustment occurring after May 5, 1986.  This Current Accrued
                 Benefit rule applies only if the defined benefit plans
                 individually and in the aggregate satisfied the requirements
                 of Code Section 415 as in effect at the end of the 1986
                 Limitation Year.

PLAN DOCUMENT

                 Notwithstanding the above, if the participant was a
                 participant as of the first day of the first limitation year
                 beginning after December 31, 1986, in one or more defined
                 benefit plans maintained by the employer which were in
                 existence on May 6, 1986, the denominator of this fraction
                 will not be less than 125 percent of the sum of the annual
                 benefits under such plans which the participant had accrued as
                 of the close of the last limitation year beginning before
                 January 1,1987, disregarding any changes in the terms and
                 conditions of the plan after May 5, 1986. The preceding
                 sentence applies only if the defined benefit plans
                 individually and in the aggregate satisfied the requirements of
                 Section 415 for all limitation years beginning before January
                 1, 1987

         (k)     "DEFINED CONTRIBUTION PLAN FRACTION" - Section 5.5 Defined
                 contribution fraction: A fraction, the numerator of which is
                 the sum of the annual additions to the participant's account
                 under all the defined contribution plans (whether or not
                 terminated) maintained by the employer for the current and all
                 prior limitation years (including the annual additions
                 attributable to the participant's nondeductible employee
                 contributions to all defined benefit plans, whether or not
                 terminated, maintained by the employer, and the annual
                 additions attributable to all welfare benefit funds, as
                 defined in Section 419(e) of the Code, and individual medical
                 accounts, as defined in Section 415(1)(2) of the Code,
                 maintained by the employer), and the denominator of which is
                 the sum of the maximum aggregate amounts for the current and
                 all prior limitation years of service with the employer
                 (regardless of whether a defined contribution plan was
                 maintained by the employer). The maximum aggregate amount in
                 any limitation year is the lesser of 125 percent of the
                 dollar limitation determined under Sections 415(b) and (d) of
                 the Code in effect under Section 415(c)(1)(A) of the Code or
                 35 percent of the participant 's compensation for such year.

                 If the employee was a participant as of the end of the first
                 day of the first limitation year beginning after December 31,
                 1986, in one or more defined contribution plans maintained by
                 the employer which were in existence on May 6, 1986, the
                 numerator of this fraction will be adjusted if the sum of this
                 fraction and the defined benefit fraction would otherwise
                 exceed 1.0 under the terms of this plan. Under the adjustment,
                 an amount equal to the product of (l) the excess of the sum of
                 the fractions over 1.0 times (2) the denominator of this
                 fraction, will be permanently subtracted from the numerator of
                 this fraction. The adjustment is calculated using the
                 fractions as they would be computed as of the end of the last
                 limitation year beginning before January 1, 1987, and
                 disregarding any changes in the terms and conditions of the
                 plan made after May 5, 1986, but using the Section 415
                 limitation applicable to the first limitation year beginning
                 on or after January 1, 1987.

                 The annual addition for any limitation year beginning before
                 January 1, 1987, shall not be recomputed to treat all employee
                 contributions as annual additions.

                 The average compensation for the three consecutive years of
                 service with the employer that produces the highest average.

                                   ARTICLE IV
                           PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTIONS

4.01     "PARTICIPANT ON DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS"
         This Plan does not permit Participant nondeductible contributions. If,
         prior to the adoption of this Plan, the Plan accepted Participant
         nondeductible contributions for a Plan Year beginning after December
         31, 1986, those contributions must satisfy the requirements of Code
         Section 401(m) and must be maintained in a separate account which
         will be nonforfeitable at all times. This Section 4.01 does not
         prohibit the Plan's acceptance of Participant nondeductible
         contributions prior to the first Plan Year commencing after the Plan
         Year in which the Employer adopts this Plan.

4.02     "PARTICIPANT DEDUCTIBLE CONTRIBUTIONS"
         The Plan will not accept Participant deductible contributions which
         are made for a taxable year beginning after December 31, 1986.
         Contributions made prior to that date will be maintained in a separate
         account which will be nonforfeitable at all times. The account will
         share in the gains and losses of the trust in the same manner as
         described in Section 9.10 of the Plan. No part of the deductible
         voluntary contribution account will be used to purchase life
         insurance. Subject to Article VI, joint and survivor annuity
         requirements (if applicable), the participant may withdraw any part of
         the deductible voluntary contribution account by making a written
         application to the Advisory Committee.

4.03     "PARTICIPANT ROLLOVER CONTRIBUTIONS"
         Any Participant, with the Employer's written consent and after filing
         with the Employer the form prescribed by the Advisory Committee, may
         contribute cash or other property to the Trust other than as a
         voluntary contribution if the contribution is a "rollover
         contribution" which the Code permits an employee to transfer either
         directly or indirectly from one qualified plan to another qualified
         plan. Before accepting a rollover contribution, the Trustee may
         require an Employee to furnish satisfactory evidence that the proposed
         transfer is in fact a "rollover contribution" which the Code permits
         an employee to make to a qualified plan. A rollover contribution is
         not an Annual Addition under Part 2 of Article III.





                                       11
<PAGE>   46

         The Employer will invest the rollover contribution in a segregated
         investment Account for the Participant's sole benefit unless the
         Employer in its sole discretion, agrees to invest the rollover
         contribution as part of the Trust Fund. The Employer will not have
         any investment responsibility with respect to a Participant's
         segregated rollover Account. The Participant, however, from time to
         time, may direct the Employer in writing as to the investment of his
         segregated rollover Account in shares of a Designated Investment
         Company, annuity contract(s) or life insurance sold or distributed by
         Kemper Financial Services, Inc. A Participant's segregated rollover
         Account alone will bear any extraordinary expenses resulting from
         investments made at the direction of the Participant. As of the
         Accounting Date (or other valuation date) for each Plan Year, the
         Advisory Committee will allocate and credit the net income (or net
         loss) from a Participant's segregated rollover Account and the
         increase or decrease in the fair market value of the assets of a
         segregated rollover Account solely to that Account. The Employer is
         not liable nor responsible for any loss resulting to any Beneficiary,
         nor to any Participant, by reason of any sale or investment made or
         other action taken pursuant to and in accordance with the direction of
         the Participant. In all other respects, the Employer will administer
         and distribute a rollover contribution in the same manner as any
         Employer contribution made to the Trust.

         An eligible Employee, prior to satisfying the Plan's eligibility
         conditions, may make a rollover contribution to the Trust to the same
         extent and in the same manner as a Participant. If an Employee makes a
         rollover contribution to the Trust prior to satisfying the Plan's
         eligibility conditions, the Advisory Committee and Trustee must treat
         the Employee as a Participant for all purposes of the Plan except the
         Employee is not a Participant for purposes of sharing in Employer
         contributions under the Plan until he actually becomes a Participant
         in the Plan. If the Employee has a Separation from Service prior to
         becoming a Participant, the Trustee will distribute his rollover
         contribution Account to him as if it were an Employer contribution
         Account.

4.04     "PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTION - FORFEITABILITY"
         A Participant's Accrued Benefit is, at all times, 100% Nonforfeitable.

4.05     "PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTION - WITHDRAWAL/DISTRIBUTION"
         A Participant, by giving prior written notice to the Trustee, may
         withdraw all or any part of the value of his Accrued Benefit derived
         from his Participant contributions described in this Article IV. A
         distribution of Participant contributions must comply with the joint
         and survivor requirements described in Article VI, if those
         requirements apply to the Participant. A Participant may not exercise
         his right to withdrawn the value of his Accrued Benefit derived from
         his Participant contributions more than once during any Plan Year. The
         Trustee, in accordance with the direction of the Advisory Committee,
         will distribute a Participant's unwithdrawn Accrued Benefit
         attributable to his Participant contributions in accordance with the
         provisions of Article VI applicable to the distribution of the
         Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit.

4.06     "PARTICIPANT CONTRIBUTION - ACCRUED BENEFIT"
         The Advisory Committee must maintain, or must direct the Trustee to
         maintain, a separate Account(s) in the name of each Participant to
         reflect the Participant's Accrued Benefit under the Plan derived from
         his Participant contributions. A Participant's Accrued Benefit derived
         from his Participant contributions as of any applicable date is the
         balance of his separate Participant contribution Account(s). A
         separate account will be maintained by the trustee for the
         nondeductible employee contribution of each participant.

                                   ARTICLE V
                  TERMINATION OF SERVICE - PARTICIPANT VESTING

5.01     "NORMAL RETIREMENT AGE"
         Normal Retirement Age is age 65.

5.02     "VESTING"
         All contributions made by or on behalf of each participant, together
         with all earnings thereon, shall immediately become, and at all times
         shall remain, fully vested in such participant, and nonforfeitable.

         The minimum allocation required (to the extent required to be
         nonforfeitable under Section 416(b)) may not be forfeited under Code 
         Sections 411(a)(3)(B) or 411(a)(3)(D).

                                   ARTICLE VI
                     TIME AND METHOD OF PAYMENT OF BENEFITS

6.01     "TIME OF PAYMENT OF ACCRUED BENEFIT"
         Unless, pursuant to Section 6.03, the Participant or the Beneficiary
         elects in writing to a different time or method of payment, the
         Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to commence distribution of
         a Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in accordance with this
         Section 6.01. A Participant must consent, in writing, to any
         distribution required under this Section 6.01 if the present value of
         the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit, at the time of the
         distribution to the Participant, exceeds $3,500 and the Participant
         has not attained the later of Normal Retirement Age or age 62.
         Furthermore, the Participant's spouse also must consent, in writing,
         to any distribution, for which Section 6.04 requires the spouse's
         consent. For all purposes of this Article VI, the term "annuity
         starting date" means the first day of the first period for which the
         Plan pays an amount as an annuity or in any other form. A distribution
         date under this Article VI unless otherwise specified within the Plan,
         is the 60th day of the Plan Year, or as soon as administratively
         practicable following that distribution date. For purposes of the
         consent requirements under this Article VI, if the present value of
         the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit, at the time of any
         distribution, exceeds $3,500, the Advisory Committee must treat that
         present value as exceeding $3,500 for purposes of all subsequent Plan
         distributions to the Participant.

         If the value of a participant's vested account balance derived from
         employer and employee contribution exceeds (or at the time of any
         prior distribution exceeded) $3,500, and the account balance is
         immediately distributable, the participant and the participant's
         spouse (or where either the participant or the spouse has died, the
         survivor) must consent to any distribution of such account balance.
         The consent of the participant and the participant's spouse shall be
         obtained in writing within the 90-day period ending on the annuity
         starting date. The annuity starting date is the first day of the first
         period for which an amount is paid an annuity or any other form.  The
         plan administrator shall notify the participant and the participant's
         spouse of the right to defer any distribution until the participant's
         account balance is no longer immediately distributable. Such
         notification shall include a general description of the material
         features, and explanation of the relative values of, the optional
         forms of benefit available under the plan in a manner that would
         satisfy the notice requirements of Code Section 417(a)(3), and shall be
         provided no less than 30 days and no more than 90 days prior to the
         annuity starting date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, only the
         participant need consent to the commencement of a distribution in the
         form of a qualified joint and survivor annuity while the account
         balance is immediately distributable. (Furthermore, if payment in the
         form of a qualified joint and survivor annuity is not required with
         respect to the participant pursuant to Section 6.04(E) of the plan, 
         only the participant need consent to the distribution of an account 
         balance that is immediately distributable.) Neither the consent of the
         participant nor the participant's spouse shall be required to the
         extent that a distribution is required to satisfy Code Section 
         401(a)(9) or to the extent that a distribution is required to satisfy 
         Code Sections 401(a)(9) or 415. In addition, upon termination of this 
         plan, if the plan does not offer an annuity option (purchased from a 
         commercial provider) and if the employer or any entity within the same
         controlled group as the employer does not maintain another defined  
         contribution plan (other than an employee stock ownership plan as 
         defined in section 4975(e)(7) of the Code), the participant's account 
         balance may, without the participant's consent, be distributed
         to the participant. However, if any entity within the same controlled
         group as the employer maintains another defined contribution plan
         (other than an employee stock ownership plan as defined in section
         4975(e)(7) of the Code) then the participant's account balance will be
         transferred, without the participant's consent, to the other plan if
         the participant does not consent to an immediate distribution.

         Notwithstanding the foregoing, only the participant need consent to 
         the commencement of a distribution in the form of a qualified joint 
         and survivor annuity while the account balance is immediately 
         distributable. (Furthermore, if payment in the form of a qualified 
         joint and survivor annuity is not required with respect to the 
         participant pursuant to Section 6.04(E) of the plan, only the
         participant need consent to the distribution for an account balance
         that is immediately distributable). Neither the consent of the
         participant nor the participant's spouse shall be required to the
         extent that a distribution is required to satisfy Section 401(a)(9)
         or Section 415 of the Code. In addition, upon termination of this
         plan, if the plan does not offer an annuity option (purchased from a
         commercial provider), the participant's account balance may, without
         the participant's consent, be distributed to the participant or
         transferred to another defined contribution plan (other than an
         employee stock ownership plan as defined in Section 4975(e)(7) of the
         Code) within the same controlled group.

         An account balance is immediately distributable if any part of the
         account balance could be distributed to the participant (or surviving
         spouse) before the participant attains or would have attained if not
         deceased the later of normal retirement age or age 62.

         For purposes of determining the applicability of the foregoing consent
         requirements to distributions made before the first day of the first
         plan year beginning after December 31, 1988, the participant's vested
         account balance shall not include amounts attributable to accumulated
         deductible employee contributions within the meaning of Section 
         72(o)(5)(B) of the Code.

         (A)     SEPARATION FROM SERVICE FOR A REASON OTHER THAN DEATH. For a
                 Participant who separates from Service with the Employer for a
                 reason other than death, the Advisory Committee will direct
                 the Trustee to commence distribution of the Participant's
                 Accrued Benefit, as follows:

                 (1)      PARTICIPANT'S NONFORFEITABLE ACCRUED BENEFIT NOT
                          EXCEEDING $3,500. In a lump sum, on the 60th day
                          following the close of the Plan Year in which the
                          Participant's Separation from Service occurs.

<PAGE>   48

                 (2)      PARTICIPANT'S NONFORFEITABLE ACCRUED BENEFIT EXCEEDS
                          $3,500. In a form and at the time elected by the
                          Participant, pursuant to Section 6.03. In the absence
                          of an election by the Participant, the Advisory
                          Committee will direct the Trustee to distribute the
                          Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in a
                          lump sum (or, if applicable, the normal annuity form
                          of distribution required under Section 6.04), on the
                          60th day following the close of the Plan Year in
                          which the latest of the following events occurs: (a)
                          the Participant attains Normal Retirement Age; (b)
                          the Participant attains age 62; or (c) the
                          Participant separates from Service. Notwithstanding
                          the foregoing, the failure of a participant and
                          spouse to consent to a distribution while a benefit
                          is immediately distributable shall be deemed to be an
                          election to defer commencement of payment of any
                          benefit sufficient to satisfy this section.

                 (3)      DISABILITY. If the Participant terminates employment
                          because of disability, in lump sum, no later than the
                          60th day following the close of the Plan Year in
                          which the participant terminates employment because
                          of disability, subject to the requirements of this
                          Article VI and subject to the applicable mandatory
                          commencement dates described in Paragraphs (1) and
                          (2).

         (B)     REQUIRED BEGINNING DATE. If any distribution commencement date
                 described under Paragraph (A) of this Section 6.01, either by
                 Plan provision or by Participant election (or nonelection), is
                 later than the Participant's Required Beginning Date, the
                 Advisory Committee instead must direct the Trustee to make
                 distribution under this Section 6.01 on the Participant's
                 Required Beginning Date. A Participant's Required Beginning
                 Date is the April 1 following the close of the calendar year
                 in which the Participant attains age 70-1/2. However, if the
                 Participant, prior to incurring a Separation from Service,
                 attained age 70-1/2 by January 1, 1988, and, for the five Plan
                 Year period ending in the calendar year in which he attained
                 age 70-1/2 and for all subsequent years, the Participant was
                 not a more than 5% owner (as defined in Section 1.09(a)), the
                 Required Beginning Date is the April 1 following the close of
                 the calendar year in which the Participant separates from
                 Service, or, if earlier, the April 1 following the close of
                 the calendar year in which the Participant becomes a more than
                 5% owner. Furthermore, if a Participant attained age 70-1/2
                 during 1988 and did not incur a Separation from Service prior
                 to January 1,1989, his Required Beginning Date is April 1,
                 1990. A mandatory distribution at the Participant's Required
                 Beginning Date will be in lump sum (or, if applicable, the
                 normal annuity form of distribution required under Section
                 6.04) unless the Participant, pursuant to the provisions of
                 this Article VI, makes a valid election to receive an
                 alternative form of payment.

                 (1)      GENERAL RULE. The required beginning date of a
                          participant is the first day of April of the calendar
                          year following the calendar year in which the
                          participant attains age 70-1/2.

                 (2)      TRANSITIONAL RULES. The required beginning date of a
                          participant who attains age 70-1/2 before January
                          1, 1988, shall be determined in accordance with (a) or
                          (b) below:

                          (A)     NON-FIVE PERCENT OWNERS. The required
                                  beginning date of a participant who is not a
                                  five-percent owner is the first day of April
                                  of the calendar year following the calendar
                                  year in which the later of retirement or
                                  attainment of age 70-1/2 occurs.

                          (B)     FIVE-PERCENT OWNERS. The required beginning
                                  date of a participant who is a five-percent
                                  owner during any year beginning after
                                  December 31, 1979, is the first day of April
                                  following the later of:

                                  (i)      the calendar year in which the
                                           participant attains age 70-1/2, or

                                  (ii)     the earlier of the calendar year
                                           with or within which ends the plan
                                           year in which the participant
                                           becomes a five-percent owner, or the
                                           calendar year in which the
                                           participant retires.

                 The required beginning date of a participant who is not a
                 five-percent owner who attains age 70-1/2 during 1988 and who
                 has not retired as of January 1, 1989, is April 1, 1990.

                 (3)      FIVE-PERCENT OWNER. A participant is treated as a
                          five-percent owner for purposes of this section if
                          such participant is a five-percent owner as defined
                          in Section 416(i) of the Code (determined in 
                          accordance with Section 416 but without regard to 
                          whether the plan is top-heavy) at any time during 
                          the plan year ending with or within the calendar 
                          year in which such owner attains age 66-1/2 or any 
                          subsequent plan year.

                 (4)      Once distributions have begun to a five-percent owner
                          under this section, they must continue to be
                          distributed, even if the participant ceases to be a
                          five-percent owner in a subsequent year.

         (C)     DEATH OF THE PARTICIPANT. The Advisory Committee will direct
                 the Trustee, in accordance with this Section 6.01(C), to
                 distribute to the Participant's Beneficiary the Participant's
                 Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit remaining in the Trust at the
                 time of the Participant's death.

                 (1)      DECEASED PARTICIPANT'S NONFORFEITABLE ACCRUED BENEFIT
                          DOES NOT EXCEED $3,500. The Advisory Committee,
                          subject to the requirements of Section 6.04, must
                          direct the Trustee to pay the deceased Participant's
                          Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in a single cash sum,
                          as soon as administratively practicable following the
                          Participant's death or, if later, the date on which
                          the Advisory Committee receives notification of or
                          otherwise confirms the Participant's death.

         (2)     DECEASED PARTICIPANT'S NONFORFEITABLE ACCRUED BENEFIT EXCEED
                 $3,500. The Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to pay
                 the deceased Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit at
                 the time and in the form elected by the Participant or, if
                 applicable by the Beneficiary, as permitted under this Article
                 VI. In the absence of an election, subject to the requirements
                 of Section 6.04, the Advisory Committee will direct the
                 Trustee to distribute the Participant's undistributed
                 Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in a lump sum on the first
                 distribution date following the close of the Plan Year in
                 which the Participant's death occurs or, if later, the first
                 distribution date following the date the Advisory Committee
                 receives notification of or otherwise confirms the
                 Participant's death.

                 If the death benefit is payable to the Participant's surviving
                 spouse in full, the surviving spouse, in addition to the
                 distribution options provided in this Section 6.01(C), may
                 elect distribution at any time or in any form (other than a
                 joint and survivor annuity) this Article VI would permit for a
                 Participant.

                 Subject to Article VI Joint and Survivor Annuity Requirements,
                 the requirements of this Article shall apply to any
                 distribution of a participant's interest and will take
                 precedence over any inconsistent provisions of this plan.
                 Unless otherwise specified, the provisions of this Article
                 apply to the calendar year beginning after December 31, 1984.

                 All distributions required under this Article shall be
                 determined and made in accordance with the proposed
                 regulations under Section 401(a)(9), including the minimum
                 distribution incidental benefit requirement of Section 
                 1.401(a)(9)-2 of the proposed regulations.

6.02     "METHOD OF PAYMENT OF ACCRUED BENEFIT"
         Subject to the annuity distribution requirements, if any, prescribed
         by Section 6.04, and any restrictions prescribed by Section 6.03, a
         Participant or Beneficiary may elect distribution under one, or any
         combination, of the following methods: (a) by payment in a lump sum;
         or (b) by payment in monthly, quarterly or annual installments over a
         fixed reasonable period of time, not exceeding the life or life
         expectancy of the Participant, or the joint and last survivor life or
         life expectancy of the Participant and an individual the Participant
         designates as his Beneficiary (his "designated Beneficiary").

         The distribution options permitted under this Section 6.02 are
         available only if the present value of the Participant Nonforfeitable
         Accrued Benefit, at the time of the distribution to the Participant,
         exceeds $3,500. To facilitate installment payments under this Article
         VI, the Advisory Committee may direct the Trustee to segregate all or
         any part of the Participant's Accrued Benefit in a separate Account.
         The Trustee will invest the Participant's segregated Account in
         Federally insured interest bearing savings account(s) or time
         deposit(s) (or a combination of both), or in other fixed income
         investments. A segregated Account remains a part of the Trust, but it
         alone shares in any income it earns, and it alone bears any expense or
         loss it incurs. A Participant or Beneficiary may elect to receive an
         installment distribution in the form of a Nontransferable Annuity
         Contract. Under an installment distribution, the Participant or
         Beneficiary, at any time, may elect to accelerate the payment of all,
         or any portion, of the Participant's unpaid Nonforfeitable Accrued
         Benefit, subject to the requirements of Section 6.04.

         (A)     MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS FOR PARTICIPANTS.
                 The Advisory Committee may not direct the Trustee to
                 distribute the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit,
                 nor may the Participant elect to have the Trustee distribute
                 his Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit, under a method     of
                 payment which, as of the Required Beginning Date, does not
                 satisfy the minimum distribution requirements under Code
                 Section 401(a)(9) and the applicable Treasury regulations. The
                 minimum distribution for a calendar year equals the
                 Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit as of the latest
                 valuation date preceding the beginning of the calendar year
                 divided by the Participant's life expectancy or, if
                 applicable, the joint and last survivor expectancy of the
                 Participant and his designated Beneficiary (as determined
                 under Section 8.01, subject to the requirements of the Code
                 Section 401(a)(9) regulations). The Advisory Committee will
                 increase the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit, as
                 determined on the relevant valuation date, for contributions
                 allocated after the valuation date and by December 31 of the
                 valuation calendar year, and will decrease the valuation by
                 distributions made after the valuation date and by December 31
                 of the valuation calendar year. For purposes of this
                 valuation, the Advisory Committee will treat any portion of
                 the minimum distribution for the first distribution calendar
                 year made after the close of that year as a distribution
                 occurring in that first distribution calendar year. In
                 computing a minimum distribution the Advisory Committee must
                 use the unisex life expectancy multiples under Treas. Reg.
                 Section 1.72-9. The Advisory Committee, only upon the
                 participant's written request, will not compute the minimum
                 distribution for a calendar year subsequent to the first
                 calendar year for which the Plan requires a minimum
                 distribution by redetermining the applicable life expectancy.
                 Otherwise, the Advisory Committee will redetermine the joint
                 life and last survivor expectancy of the Participant and a
                 nonspouse designated Beneficiary in a manner which takes into
                 account any adjustment to a life expectancy other than the
                 Participant's life expectancy.

                 If the Participant's spouse is not his designated Beneficiary,
                 a method of payment to the Participant (whether by Participant 
                 election or by Advisory Committee direction) may not provide
                 more than incidental benefits to the Beneficiary. For Plan
                 Year beginning after December 31, 1988, the Plan must satisfy
                 the minimum distribution incidental benefit ("MDIB")
                 requirement in the Treasury regulations issued under Code
                 Section 401(a)(9) for distributions made on or after the
                 Participant's Required Beginning Date and before the
                 Participant's death. To satisfy the MDIB requirement, the
                 Advisory Committee will compute the minimum distribution
                 required by this Section 6.02(A) by substituting the
                 applicable MDIB divisor for the applicable life expectancy
                 factor, if the MDIB divisor is a lesser number. Following the
                 Participant's death, the Advisory Committee will compute the
                 minimum distribution required by this Section 6.02(A) solely
                 on the basis of the applicable life expectancy factor and will
                 disregard the MDIB factor.

                 For Plan Years beginning prior to January l, 1989, the Plan
                 satisfies the incidental benefits requirement if the
                 distributions to the Participant satisfied the MDIB
                 requirement or if the present value of the retirement benefits
                 payable solely to the Participant is greater than 50% of the
                 present value of the total benefits payable to the Participant
                 and his Beneficiaries.  The Advisory Committee must determine
                 whether benefits to the Beneficiary are incidental as of the
                 date the Trustee is to commence payment of the retirement
                 benefits to the Participant, or as of any date the Trustee
                 redetermines the payment period to the Participant.

                 The minimum distribution for the first distribution calendar
                 year is due by the Participant's Required Beginning Date. The
                 minimum distribution for each subsequent distribution calendar
                 year, including the calendar year in which the Participant's
                 Required Beginning Date falls, is due by December 31 of that
                 year. If the Participant receives distribution in the form of
                 a Nontransferable Annuity Contract, the distribution satisfies
                 this Section 6.02(A) if the contract complies with the
                 requirements of Code Section 401(a)(9) and the applicable
                 Treasury regulations.

         (B)     MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS FOR BENEFICIARIES.
                 If any portion of the Participant's interest is payable to a
                 designated beneficiary, method of distribution to the  
                 Participant's Beneficiary must satisfy Code Section 401(a)(9)
                 and the applicable Treasury regulations. If the Participant's
                 death occurs after his Required Beginning Date or, if earlier,
                 the date the Participant commences an irrevocable annuity
                 pursuant to Section 6.04, the method of payment to the
                 Beneficiary must provide for completion of payment over a
                 period which does not exceed the payment period which had
                 commenced for the Participant. If the Participant's death
                 occurs prior to his Required Beginning Date, and the
                 Participant had not commenced an irrevocable annuity pursuant
                 to section 6.04, the method of payment to the Beneficiary,
                 subject to Section 6.04, must provide for completion of
                 payment to the Beneficiary over a period not exceeding (i) by
                 December 31 of the calendar year containing the fifth
                 anniversary of the Participant's; or (ii) if the Beneficiary
                 is a designated Beneficiary, the designated Beneficiary's life
                 expectancy. The Advisory Committee may not direct payment of
                 the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit over a period
                 described in clause (ii) unless the Trustee will commence
                 payment to the designated Beneficiary no later than the
                 December 31 following the close of the calendar year in which
                 the Participant's death occurred or, if later, and the
                 designated Beneficiary is the Participant's surviving spouse,
                 December 31 of the calendar year in which the Participant
                 would have attained age 70-1/2. If the Trustee will make
                 distribution in accordance with clause (ii), the minimum
                 distribution for a calendar year equals the Participant's
                 Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit as of the latest valuation date
                 preceding the beginning of the calendar year divided by the
                 designated Beneficiary's life expectancy. The Advisory
                 Committee must use the unisex life expectancy multiples under
                 Treas. Section Reg. 1.72-9 for purposes of applying this
                 paragraph. The Advisory Committee, only upon the written
                 request of the Participant or of the Participant's surviving
                 spouse, may recalculate the life expectancy of the
                 Participant's surviving spouse no more frequently than
                 annually, but may not recalculate the life expectancy of a
                 nonspouse designated Beneficiary after the Trustee commences
                 payment to the designated Beneficiary. The Advisory Committee
                 will apply this paragraph by treating any amount paid to the
                 Participant's child, which becomes payable to the
                 Participant's surviving spouse upon the child's attaining the
                 age of majority, as paid to the Participant' surviving spouse.
                 Upon the Beneficiary's written request, the Advisory Committee
                 must direct the Trustee to accelerate payment of all, or any
                 portion, of the Participant's unpaid Accrued Benefit, as soon
                 as administratively practicable following the effective date
                 of that request.

                 If the participant has not made an election pursuant to this
                 Section 6.02 by the time of his or her death, the
                 participant's designated beneficiary must elect the method of
                 distribution no later than the earlier of (1) December 31 of
                 the calendar year in which distributions would be required to
                 begin under this Section, or (2) December 31 of the calendar
                 year which contains the fifth anniversary of the date of death
                 of the participant. If the participant has no designated
                 beneficiary, or if the designated beneficiary does not elect a
                 method of distribution, distribution of the participant's
                 entire interest must be completed by December 31 of the
                 calendar year containing the fifth anniversary of the
                 participant's death.

                 For purposes of this Section 6.02, if the surviving spouse
                 dies after the participant, but before payments to such spouse
                 begin, the provisions of this Section 6.02, with the exception
                 of paragraph (b) therein, shall be applied as if the surviving
                 spouse were the participant.

                 For the purposes of this Section 6.02, distribution of a
                 participant's interest is considered to begin on the
                 Participant's required beginning date (or the date
                 distribution is required to begin to the surviving spouse). If
                 distribution in the form of an annuity irrevocably commences
                 to the Participant before the required beginning date, the
                 date distribution is considered to begin is the date
                 distribution actually commences.

                 APPLICABLE LIFE EXPECTANCY. The life expectancy (or joint and
                 last survivor expectancy) calculated using the attained age of
                 the Participant (or designated Beneficiary as of the
                 Participant's (or designated Beneficiary's) birthday in the
                 applicable calendar year reduced by one for each calendar year
                 which has elapsed since the date life expectancy was first
                 calculated. If life expectancy is being recalculated, the
                 applicable life expectancy shall be the life expectancy as so
                 recalculated. The applicable calendar year shall be the first
                 distribution calendar year, and if life expectancy is being
                 recalculated such succeeding calendar year.

PLAN DOCUMENT
                 DISTRIBUTION CALENDAR YEAR. A calendar year for which a
                 minimum distribution is required. For distributions beginning
                 before the participant's death, the first distribution
                 calendar year is the calendar year immediately preceding the
                 calendar year which contains the participant's required
                 beginning date. For distributions beginning after the
                 participant's death, the first distribution calendar year is
                 the calendar year in which distributions are required to begin
                 pursuant to this Section 6.02 above.

6.03     "BENEFIT PAYMENT ELECTIONS"
         Not earlier than 90 days before nor later than 30 days before the
         Participant's annuity starting date, the Plan Administrator must
         provide a benefit notice to a Participant who is eligible to make an
         election under this Section 6.03. The benefit notice must explain the
         optional forms of benefit in the Plan, including the material features
         and relative values of those options, and the Participant's right to
         defer distribution until he attains the later of Normal Retirement Age
         or age 62.

         If a Participant or Beneficiary makes an election prescribed by this
         Section 6.03, the Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee to
         distribute the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in
         accordance with that election. Any election under this Section 6.03 is
         subject to the requirements of Section 6.02 and of Section 6.04. The
         Participant or Beneficiary must make an election under this Section
         6.03 by filing his election with the Advisory Committee at any time
         before the Trustee otherwise would commence to pay a Participant's
         Accrued Benefit in accordance with the requirements of Article VI.

         (A)     PARTICIPANT ELECTIONS AFTER SEPARATE FROM SERVICE. If the
                 present value of a Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued
                 Benefit exceeds $3,500, he may elect to have the Trustee
                 commence distribution as of any distribution date, but not
                 earlier than the first distribution date of the first Plan
                 Year following the Participant's separation from service. The
                 Participant may reconsider an election at any time prior to
                 the annuity starting date and elect to commence distribution
                 as of any other distribution date. A Participant who has not
                 separated from Service may elect distribution as of any
                 distribution date following his attainment of Normal
                 Retirement Age.

         (B)     PARTICIPANT ELECTIONS PRIOR TO TERMINATION OF EMPLOYMENT. No
                 distribution options are permitted prior to a Participant's
                 Separation of Service.

         (C)     DEATH BENEFIT ELECTIONS. If the present value of the deceased
                 Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit exceeds $3,500,
                 the Participant's Beneficiary may elect to have the Trustee
                 distribute the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in
                 a form and within a period permitted under Section 6.02. The
                 Beneficiary's election is subject to any restrictions
                 designated in writing by the Participant and not revoked as of
                 his date of death.

         (D)     TRANSITIONAL ELECTIONS. Notwithstanding the provisions of
                 Section 6.01 and 6.02, if the Participant (or Beneficiary)
                 signed a written distribution designation prior to January 1,
                 1984, the Advisory Committee must distribute the Participant's
                 Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in accordance with that
                 designation, subject however, to the requirements, if
                 applicable, of Sections 6.04, 6.05 and 6.06. This Section
                 6.03(D) does not apply to a pre-1984 distribution designation,
                 and the Advisory Committee will not comply with that
                 designation, if any of the following applies: (1) the method
                 of distribution would have disqualified the Plan under Code
                 Section 401(a)(9) as in effect on December 31, 1983; (2) the
                 Participant did not have an Accrued Benefit as of December
                 31, 1983; (3) the distribution designation does not specify the
                 timing and form of the distribution and the death
                 Beneficiaries (in order of priority); (4) the substitution of
                 a Beneficiary modifies the payment period of the distribution;
                 or, (5) the Participant (or Beneficiary) modifies or revokes
                 the distribution designation. In the event of a revocation,
                 the Plan must distribute, no later than December 31 of the
                 calendar year following the year of revocation, the amount
                 which the Participant would have received under Section
                 6.02(A) if the election had not been in effect or, if the
                 Beneficiary revokes the election, the amount which the
                 Beneficiary would have received under Section 6.02(B) if the
                 election had not been in effect. The Advisory Committee will
                 apply this Section 6.03(D) to rollovers and transfers in
                 accordance with Part J of the Code Section 401(a)(9) 
                 regulations.

6.04     "ANNUITY DISTRIBUTIONS TO PARTICIPANTS AND SURVIVING SPOUSES"
         (A)     JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY. The Advisory Committee must direct
                 the Trustee to distribute a married or unmarried Participant's
                 Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in the form of a qualified
                 joint and survivor annuity, unless the Participant makes a
                 valid waiver election (described in Section 6.05) within the
                 90 day period ending on the annuity starting date. The
                 participant may elect to have such annuity distributed upon
                 attainment of the earliest retirement age under the plan. The
                 earliest retirement age is the earliest date on which, under
                 the plan, the participant could elect to receive retirement
                 benefits. If, as of the annuity starting date, the participant
                 is married, a qualified joint and survivor annuity is an
                 immediate annuity which is purchasable with the Participant's
                 Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit and which provides a life
                 annuity for the Participant and a survivor annuity payable for
                 the remaining life of the Participant's surviving spouse equal
                 to not less than 50% and not more than 100% of the amount of
                 the annuity payable during the life of the Participant. If, as
                 of the annuity starting date, the Participant is not married,
                 a qualified joint and survivor annuity is an immediate life
                 annuity for the Participant which is purchasable with the
                 Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit. On or before the
                 annuity starting date, the Advisory Committee, without
                 Participant or spousal consent, must direct the Trustee to pay
                 the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in a lump
                 sum, in lieu of a qualified joint and survivor annuity, in
                 accordance with Section 6.01, if the Participant's
                 Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit is not greater than $3,500.
                 This Section 6.04(A) applies only to a Participant who has
                 completed at least one Hour of Service with the Employer after
                 August 23, 1984.

         (B)     PRE-RETIREMENT SURVIVOR ANNUITY. If a married Participant dies
                 prior to his annuity starting date, the Advisory Committee
                 will direct the Trustee to distribute a portion of the
                 Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit to the
                 Participant's surviving spouse in the form of a pre-retirement
                 survivor annuity, unless the Participant has a valid waiver
                 election (as described in Section 6.06) in effect within the
                 election period, or unless the Participant and his spouse were
                 not married throughout the one year period ending on the date
                 of his death. The surviving spouse may elect to have such
                 annuity distributed within a reasonable period after the
                 participant's death. The period which begins on the first day
                 of the plan year in which the participant attains age 35 and
                 ends on the date of the participant's death. If a participant
                 separates from service prior to the first day of the plan
                 year in which age 35 is attained, with respect to the account
                 balance as of the date of separation, the election period
                 shall begin on the date of separation. A pre-retirement
                 survivor annuity is an annuity which is purchasable with 50%
                 of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit
                 (determined as of the date of the Participant's death) and
                 which is payable for the life of the Participant's surviving
                 spouse. The value of the pre-retirement survivor annuity is
                 attributable to Employer contributions and to Employee
                 contributions in the same proportion as the Participant's
                 Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit is attributable to those
                 contributions. If the present value of the pre-retirement
                 survivor annuity does not exceed $3,500, the Advisory
                 Committee, on or before the annuity starting date (as
                 determined under Section 6.01(C)), must direct the Trustee to
                 make a lump sum distribution to the Participant's surviving
                 spouse, in lieu of a pre-retirement survivor annuity. This
                 Section 6.04(B) applies only to a Participant who dies after
                 August 22, 1984, and either (i) completes at least one Hour of
                 Service with the Employer after August 22, 1984, or (ii)
                 separated from Service with at least 10 Years of Service (as
                 defined in Section 5.06) and completed at least one Hour of
                 Service with the Employer in a Plan Year beginning after
                 December 31, 1975.

         (C)     SURVIVING SPOUSE ELECTIONS. If the present value of the
                 pre-retirement survivor annuity exceeds $3,500, the
                 Participant's surviving spouse may elect to have the Trustee
                 commence payment of the pre-retirement survivor annuity at any
                 time following the date of the Participant's death, but not
                 later than the mandatory distribution periods described in
                 Section 6.02, and may elect either or any combination of the
                 two forms of payment described in Section 6.02, in lieu of the
                 pre-retirement survivor annuity. In the absence of an election
                 by the surviving spouse, the Advisory Committee must direct
                 the Trustee to distribute the pre-retirement survivor annuity
                 on the first distribution date following the close of the Plan
                 Year in which the latest of the following events occurs (i)
                 the Participant's death; (ii) the date the Advisory Committee
                 receives notification of or otherwise confirms the
                 Participant's death; (iii) the date the Participant would have
                 attained Normal Retirement Age; or (iv) the date the
                 Participant would have attained age 62.

         (D)     SPECIAL RULES. If the Participant has in effect a valid waiver
                 election regarding the qualified joint and survivor annuity or
                 the pre-retirement survivor annuity, the Advisory Committee
                 must direct the Trustee to distribute the Participant's
                 Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit in accordance with Sections
                 6.01, 6.02 and 6.03. For purposes of applying this Article VI,
                 the Advisory Committee treats a former spouse as the
                 Participant's spouse or surviving spouse, and a current spouse
                 will not be treated as the spouse or surviving spouse, to the
                 extent provided under a qualified domestic relations order
                 described in Section 6.07. The provisions of this Section
                 6.04, and of Sections 6.05 and 6.06, apply separately to the
                 portion of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit
                 subject to the qualified domestic relations order and to the
                 portion of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit
                 not subject to that order. The spouse (surviving spouse) is
                 the spouse or surviving spouse of the participant, provided
                 that a former spouse will be treated as the spouse or
                 surviving spouse and a current spouse will not be treated as
                 the spouse or surviving spouse to the extent provided under a
                 qualified domestic relations order as described in Section 
                 414(p) of the Code.

         (E)     PROFIT SHARING PLAN EXCEPTION. If the Plan is a profit sharing
                 plan, the preceding provisions of this Section 6.04 do not
                 apply to any Participant in the Plan except: (1) a Participant
                 as respects whom the Plan is a direct or indirect transferee
                 from a plan subject to the Code Section 417 requirements and
                 the Plan received the transfer after December 31, 1984, unless
                 the transfer is an elective transfer described in Section
                 12.06; (2) a Participant who elects a life annuity
                 distribution (if Section 12.02 of the Plan requires the Plan
                 to provide a life annuity distribution option); and (3) a
                 Participant whose benefits under a defined benefit plan
                 maintained by the Employer are offset by benefits provided
                 under this Plan. Sections 6.05 and 6.06 only apply to
                 Participants to whom the preceding provisions of this Section
                 6.04 apply.

                 This Section shall apply to a participant in a profit-sharing
                 plan, and to any distribution, made on or after the first day
                 of the first plan year beginning after December 31, 1988, from
                 or under a separate account attributable solely to accumulated
                 deductible employee contributions, as defined in Section
                 72(o)(5)(B) of the Code, and maintained on behalf of a
                 participant in a money purchase pension plan (including a
                 target benefit plan), if the following conditions are
                 satisfied: (1) the participant does not or cannot elect
                 payments in the form of a life annuity; and (2) on the death
                 of a participant, the participant's vested account balance     
                 will be paid to the participant's surviving spouse, but if
                 there is no surviving spouse, or if the surviving spouse has
                 consented in a manner conforming to a qualified election, then
                 to the participant's designated beneficiary. The surviving
                 spouse may elect to have distribution of the vested account
                 balance commence within the 90-day period following the date
                 of the participant's death. The account balance shall be
                 adjusted for gains or losses occurring after the participant's
                 death in accordance with the provision of the plan governing
                 the adjustment of account balances for other types of
                 distributions. This section Section 6.04(E) shall not be
                 operative with respect to a participant in a profit-sharing
                 plan if the plan is a direct or indirect transferee of a
                 defined benefit plan, money purchase plan, a target benefit
                 plan, stock bonus, or profit-sharing plan which is subject to
                 the survivor annuity requirements of Section 401(a)(11) and
                 Section 417. If this Section 6.04(E) is operative, then the
                 provisions of this Article, other than this Section 6.04,
                 shall be inoperative.





                                       18
<PAGE>   53

         The participant may waive the spousal death benefit described in this
         Section at any time provided that no such waiver shall be effective
         unless it satisfies the conditions of Section 6.05 (other than the
         notification requirement referred to therein) that would apply to the
         participant's waiver of the qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity.

         For purposes of this Section 6.04(E), vested account balance shall
         mean, in the case of a money purchase pension plan or a target benefit
         plan, the participant's separate account balance attributable solely
         to accumulated deductible employee contributions within the meaning of
         Section 72(o)(5)(B) of the Code. In the case of a profit-sharing plan,
         vested account balance shall have the same meaning as Nonforfeitable
         Accrued Benefit.

6.05     "WAIVER ELECTION - QUALIFIED JOINT AND SURVIVOR ANNUITY"
         Not earlier than 90 days before nor later than 30 days before the
         Participant's annuity starting date, the Plan Administrator must
         provide the Participant a written explanation of the terms and
         conditions of the qualified joint and survivor annuity, the
         Participant's right to make, and the effect of, an election to waive
         the joint and survivor form of benefit, the rights of the
         Participant's spouse regarding the waiver election and the
         Participant's right to make, and the effect of, a revocation of a
         waiver election. The Plan does not limit the number of times the
         Participant may revoke a waiver of the qualified joint and survivor
         annuity or make a new waiver during the election period.

         A married Participant's waiver election is not valid unless (a) the
         Participant's spouse (to whom the survivor annuity is payable under
         the qualified joint and survivor annuity) has consented in writing to
         the waiver election, the spouse's consent acknowledges the effect of
         the election, and a notary public or the Plan Administrator (or his
         representative) witnesses the spouse's consent, (b) the election
         designates a specific beneficiary, including any class of
         beneficiaries or any contingent beneficiaries, which may not be
         changed without spousal consent (or the spouse expressly permits
         designations by the participant without any further spousal consent;
         (c) the spouse consents to the alternate form of payment designated by
         the Participant or to any change in that designated form of payment,
         and (d) unless the spouse is the Participant's sole primary
         Beneficiary, the spouse consents to the Participant's Beneficiary
         designation or to any change in the Participant's Beneficiary
         designation. The spouse's consent to a waiver of the qualified joint
         and survivor annuity is irrevocable, unless the Participant revokes
         the waiver election. The spouse may execute a blanket consent to any
         form of payment designation or to any Beneficiary designation made by
         the Participant, if the spouse acknowledges the right to limit that
         consent to a specific designation but, in writing, waives that right.
         The consent requirements of this Section 6.05 apply to a former spouse
         of the Participant, to the extent required under a qualified domestic
         relations order described in Section 6.07. A revocation of a prior
         waiver may be made by a participant without the consent of the spouse
         at any time before the commencement of benefits. The number of
         revocations shall not be limited. No consent obtained under this
         provision shall be valid unless the participant has received notice as
         provided in this Section 6.05.

         The Plan Administrator will accept as valid a waiver election which
         does not satisfy the spousal consent requirements if the Plan
         Administrator establishes the Participant does not have a spouse, the
         Plan Administrator is not able to locate the Participant's spouse, the
         Participant is legally separated or has been abandoned (within the
         meaning of State law) and the Participant has a court order to that
         effect, or other circumstances exist under which the Secretary of the
         Treasury will excuse the consent requirement. If the Participant's
         spouse is legally incompetent to give consent, the spouse's legal
         guardian (even if the guardian is the Participant) may give consent.
         Any consent obtained from a spouse shall be effective only with
         respect to such spouse.

6.06     "WAIVER ELECTION - PRE-RETIREMENT SURVIVOR ANNUITY"
         The Plan Administrator must provide a written explanation of the
         pre-retirement survivor annuity to each married Participant, within
         the following period which ends last: (1) the period beginning on the
         first day of the Plan Year in which the Participant attains age 32 and
         ending on the last day of the Plan Year in which the Participant
         attains age 35; (2) a reasonable period ending after an Employee
         becomes a Participant; (3) a reasonable period ending after the joint
         and survivor rules become applicable to the Participant; or (4) a
         reasonable period ending after a fully subsidized pre-retirement
         survivor annuity no longer satisfies the requirements for a fully
         subsidized benefit. A reasonable period described in clauses (2), (3)
         and (4) is the two-year period beginning one year before and ending
         one year after the applicable event. If the Participant separates from
         Service before attaining age 35, clauses (1), (2), (3) and (4) do not
         apply and the Plan Administrator must provide the written explanation
         within the two-year period beginning one year before and ending one
         year after the Separation from Service. The written explanation must
         describe, in a manner consistent with Treasury regulations, the terms
         and conditions of the pre-retirement survivor annuity comparable to
         the explanation of the qualified joint and survivor annuity required
         under Section 6.05. The Plan does not limit the number of times the
         Participant may revoke a waiver of the pre-retirement survivor annuity
         or make a new waiver during the election period.

         A Participant's waiver election of the pre-retirement survivor annuity
         is not valid unless (a) the Participant makes the waiver election no
         earlier than the first day of the Plan Year in which he attains age 35
         and (b) the Participant's spouse (to whom the pre-retirement survivor
         annuity is payable) satisfies the consent requirements described in
         Section 6.05, except the spouse need not consent to the form of
         benefit payable to the designated Beneficiary. The spouse's consent to
         the waiver of the pre-retirement survivor annuity is irrevocable,
         unless the Participant revokes the waiver election. Irrespective of
         the time of election requirement described in clause (a), if the
         Participant separates from Service prior to the first day of the Plan
         Year in which he attains age 35, the Plan Administrator will accept a
         waiver election as respects the Participant's Accrued Benefit
         attributable to his Service prior to his Separation from Service. If
         the participant thereafter returns to employment with the employer,
         the applicable period for such participant shall be redetermined.
         Pre-age 35





                                       19
<PAGE>   54

         waiver: A participant who will not yet attain age 35 as of the end of
         any current Plan Year may make a special qualified election to waive
         the qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity for the period beginning
         on the date of such election and ending on the first day of the Plan
         Year in which the participant will attain age 35. Such election shall
         not be valid unless the participant receives a written explanation of
         the qualified pre-retirement survivor annuity in such terms as are
         comparable to the explanation required under Section 6.05. Qualified
         pre-retirement survivor annuity coverage will be automatically
         reinstated as of the first day of the Plan Year in which the
         participant attains age 35. Any new waiver on or after such date shall
         be subject to the full requirements of this Article.

         Notwithstanding the other requirements of this Section 6.06, the
         respective notices prescribed by this Section need not be given to a
         participant if (1) the plan "fully subsidizes" the costs of a
         qualified joint and survivor annuity or qualified pre-retirement
         survivor annuity, and (2) the plan does not allow the participant to
         waive the qualified joint and survivor annuity or qualified
         pre-retirement survivor annuity and does not allow a married
         participant to designate a nonspouse beneficiary. For purposes of this
         Section 6.06, a plan fully subsidizes the costs of a benefit if no
         increase in cost, or decrease in benefits to the participant may
         result from the participant's failure to elect another benefit. Any
         consent obtained from a spouse shall be effective only with respect to
         such spouse.

6.07     "DISTRIBUTIONS UNDER DOMESTIC RELATIONS ORDERS"
         Nothing contained in this Plan prevents the Trustee, in accordance
         with the direction of the Advisory Committee, from complying with the
         provisions of a qualified domestic relations order (as defined in Code
         Section 414(p)). This Plan specifically permits distribution to an 
         alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order at any time,
         irrespective of whether the Participant has attained his earliest
         retirement age (as defined under Code Section 414(p)) under the Plan.
         A distribution to an alternate payee prior to the Participant's
         attainment of earliest retirement age is available only if: (l) the
         order specifies distribution at that time or permits an agreement
         between the Plan and the alternate payee to authorize an earlier
         distribution; and (2) if the present value of the alternate payee's
         benefits under the Plan exceeds $3,500, and if the order requires, the
         alternate payee consents to any distribution occurring prior to the
         Participant's attainment of earliest retirement age. Nothing in this
         Section 6.07 permits a Participant a right to receive distribution at
         a time otherwise not permitted under the Plan nor does it permit the
         alternate payee to receive a form of payment not permitted under the
         Plan.

         The Plan Administrator must establish reasonable procedures to
         determine the qualified status of a domestic relations order. Upon
         receiving a domestic relations order, the Plan Administrator promptly
         will notify the Participant and any alternate payee named in the
         order, in writing, of the receipt of the order and the Plan's
         procedures for determining the qualified status of the order. Within a
         reasonable period of time after receiving the domestic relations
         order, the Plan Administrator must determine the qualified status of
         the order and must notify the Participant and each alternate payee, in
         writing, of its determination. The Plan Administrator must provide
         notice under this paragraph by mailing to the individual's address
         specified in the domestic relations order, or in a manner consistent
         with Department of Labor regulations.

         If any portion of the Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit is
         payable during the period the Plan Administrator is making its
         determination of the qualified status of the domestic relations order,
         the Advisory Committee must make a separate accounting of the amounts
         payable. If the Plan Administrator determines the order is a qualified
         domestic relations order within 18 months of the date amounts first
         are payable following receipt of the order, the Advisory Committee
         will direct the Trustee to distribute the payable amounts in
         accordance with the order. If the Plan Administrator does not make its
         determination of the qualified status of the order within the 18-month
         determination period, the Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee
         to distribute the payable amounts in the manner the Plan would
         distribute if the order did not exist and will apply the order
         prospectively if the Plan Administrator later determines the order is
         a qualified domestic relations order.

         To the extent it is not inconsistent with the provisions of the
         qualified domestic relations order, the Advisory Committee may direct
         the Trustee to invest any partitioned amount in a segregated
         subaccount or separate account and to invest the account in Federally
         insured, interest-bearing savings account(s) or time deposit(s) (or a
         combination of both), or in other fixed income investments. A
         segregated subaccount remains a part of the Trust, but it alone shares
         in any income it earns, and it alone bears any expense or loss it
         incurs. The Trustee will make any payments or distributions required
         under this Section 6.07 by separate benefit checks of other separate
         distribution to the alternate payee(s).

                                  ARTICLE VII
                           TRUSTEE, POWERS AND DUTIES

7.01     "INVESTMENT OF TRUST ASSETS"
         The Trustee shall accept and hold in the Trust such contributions of
         money on behalf of the Employer and Participants as it may receive
         from time to time, but not more frequently than once each month, from
         the Employer. All such contributions of money shall be accompanied by
         written instructions from the Employer specifying the Participants'
         sub-accounts to which they are to be credited, the amount to be
         invested in and the choice of Designated Investment Company stock, and
         by furnishing such instructions the Employer represents to the Trustee
         that the same are in accordance with any uniform rules adopted by the
         Employer and made known to Participants. If written instructions are
         not received, or if received, are in the opinion of the Trustee
         unclear, the Trustee may hold all or a portion of the contributions in
         cash without liability for rising security prices or distributions,
         pending receipt of written instructions or clarification. A
         Participant, through his Employer, may request an exchange of all or
         part of the investment company shares held hereunder for any other
         investment company shares eligible for purchase under the Plan, upon
         terms and conditions and within the limitations imposed by the then
         current prospectuses of the respective investment companies.

         Investment in shares of the Designated Investment Company shall be
         made at the price and in the manner in which such shares are then
         being publicly offered by such investment company. All dividends and
         capital gain distributions received on such shares shall be reinvested
         in such shares. If any distribution on shares of the fund may be
         received at the election of the shareholder in additional shares or in
         cash or other property, the Trustee shall elect to receive it in
         additional shares. Sales charges attributable to the acquisition of
         shares shall be charged to the account of the Participant for which
         such shares are acquired. All investment company shares acquired by
         the Trustee shall be registered in the name of the Trustee or of its
         registered nominee.

         The Employer shall remit directly to the insurance company any
         premiums life insurance or annuities which constitute contributions
         under the Plan, and the Trustee shall have no duty to account
         therefor. Any such life insurance and/or annuity contracts shall be
         issued in restricted and nontransferable form and be held by the
         Employer.

7.02     "VOTING AND OTHER ACTIONS"
         The Trustee shall deliver, or cause to be executed and delivered, to
         the Employer all notices, prospectuses, financial statements, proxies,
         and proxy soliciting material relating to shares of Designated
         Investment Company stock held pursuant to the Plan. The Trustee shall
         not vote any of the shares of the Fund held hereunder.

7.03     "REPORTS OF THE TRUSTEE AND EMPLOYER"
         The Trustee shall keep accurate and detailed records of all receipts,
         investments, disbursements and other transactions under this Trust.
         Not later than forty-five (45) days after the close of each Plan Year
         (or after the Trustee's resignation or removal pursuant to Section XI
         hereof), the Trustee shall file with the Employer and each Participant
         or Beneficiary for whom account is maintained by the Trustee under
         this Agreement a written report or reports reflecting the receipts,
         disbursements and other transactions effected by it during such Plan
         Year (or period ending with such resignation or removal) and the
         assets and liabilities of such account at its close.  Upon the
         expiration of a period of sixty (60) days immediately following the
         date on which such reports are filed, the Trustee shall be forever
         released and discharged from all liability and accountability to
         anyone with respect to its acts, transactions, duties, obligations or
         responsibility as shown in or reflected by such reports, except with
         respect to any such acts or transactions as to which written
         objections have been filed with the Trustee within such sixty day
         period.

         The Employer shall furnish to the Trustee, and the Trustee shall
         furnish to the Employer, such information relevant to the Plan and
         Trust as may be required under the Internal Revenue Code and any
         Regulations issued or forms adopted by the Treasury Department
         thereunder.

         The Trustee shall keep such records, make such identifications, and
         file with the Internal Revenue Service such returns and other
         information concerning the Trust as may be required of it under the
         Internal Revenue Code and any Regulations issued or forms adopted by
         the Treasury Department thereunder.

7.04     "TRUSTEE FEES AND EXPENSES OF THE ACCOUNT"
         Any income taxes or other taxes of any kind whatsoever that may be
         levied or assessed upon or in respect of the Trust, any transfer taxes
         incurred in connection with the investment and reinvestment of the
         assets of the Trust, all other administrative expenses incurred by the
         Trustee in the performance of its duties including fees for legal
         services rendered to the Trustee, and such compensation to the Trustee
         as may be agreed upon from time to time between the Trustee and the
         Employer shall be paid from the assets of the Trust and shall, unless
         allocable to the Accounts of specific Participants, be charged
         proportionately to their respective accounts.




                                       21
<PAGE>   56

7.05     "CONCERNING THE TRUSTEE"
         The Trustee shall not be responsible in any way for the collection of
         contributions provided for under the Plan, the purpose or propriety of
         any distribution made pursuant to Section V hereof, or any other
         action taken at the Employer's request. Nor shall the Trustee be
         responsible for the administration of the Plan, its validity or
         effect, or the qualification of the Plan or of the Trust Agreement
         under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The Trustee shall
         not be required to examine the Plan or be charged with notice of its
         provisions. The Trustee shall not be required to take any action upon
         receipt of any notice from the Internal Revenue Service except to
         forward a copy thereof to the Employer with a request for written
         instructions. The Employer shall at all times fully indemnify and save
         harmless the Trustee, its successors and assigns, from and against any
         and all loss resulting from liability to which the Trustee may be
         subject by reason of any act or conduct (except willful misconduct or
         gross negligence) in its capacity as Trustee hereunder, including all
         expenses reasonably incurred in its defense, in case the Employer
         fails to provide such defense. The Trustee shall be under no duty to
         take any action other than as herein specified with respect to the
         Trust unless the Employer shall furnish the Trustee with instructions
         in proper form and as authorized by the terms of the Plan; or to
         defend or engage in any suit with respect to the Trust unless the
         Trustee shall have first agreed in writing to do so and shall have
         been fully indemnified to the satisfaction of the Trustee. The Trustee
         shall be protected in acting upon any written order from the Employer
         or any other notice, request, consent, certificate or other instrument
         or paper believed by it to be genuine and to have been properly
         executed, and, so long as it acts in good faith, in taking or omitting
         to take any other action. The Trustee shall not be liable for interest
         on any cash or cash balances maintained in the Trust pending
         investment in accordance with appropriate directions from the
         Employer.

7.06     "AMENDMENT"
         If the Employer's plan fails to attain or retain qualification, such
         plan will no longer participate in the prototype Plan and will be
         considered an individually designed plan.

7.07     "RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE"
         The Trustee may resign at any time upon thirty (30) days notice in
         writing to the Employer, and may be removed by the Employer at any
         time upon thirty (30) days notice in writing to the Trustee. Upon such
         resignation or removal, the Employer shall appoint a successor
         Trustee. Upon receipt by the Trustee of written acceptance of such
         appointment by the successor Trustee, the Trustee shall transfer and
         pay over to such successor the assets of the Trust Account and all
         records pertaining thereto. The Trustee is authorized, however, to
         reserve such sum of money as it may deem advisable for payment of all
         its fees, compensation, costs and expenses, or for payment of any
         other liability constituting a charge on or against the assets of the
         Trust or on or against the Trustee, with any balance of such reserve
         remaining after the payment of all such items to be paid over to the
         successor Trustee. The successor Trustee shall hold the assets paid
         over to it under terms similar to those of this Agreement that qualify
         under section 401 of the Code. If within thirty (30) days after the
         Trustee's resignation or removal the Employer has not appointed a
         successor Trustee which has accepted such appointment, the Trustee
         shall, unless it elects to terminate the Trust pursuant to Section
         XII, appoint such successor itself.

7.08     "TERMINATION OF TRUST"
         The Trustee may elect to terminate the Trust if within thirty (30)
         days after its resignation or removal pursuant to Section X the
         Employer has not appointed a successor Trustee which has accepted such
         appointment. The Trustee shall terminate the Trust upon receiving
         notice of the Employer's death, if the Employer is a sole proprietor,
         or upon receiving notice of the termination of the partnership, if the
         Employer is a partnership, or upon receiving notice of the dissolution
         of the corporation, if the Employer is a corporation, unless provision
         is made by a successor to the business of the Employer for the
         continuation of the Plan and this Agreement upon terms satisfactory to
         the Trustee.

         Termination of the Trust shall be effected by distributing all assets
         thereof to the Participants and their designated beneficiaries
         pursuant to the direction of the Employer (or in the absence of such
         direction as determined by the Trustee), as on the termination of the
         Plan. Upon the completion of such distribution, the Trustee shall be
         relieved from all further liability with respect to all amounts so
         paid.

7.09     "MISCELLANEOUS"
         At no time shall it be possible for any part of the assets of the
         Trust to be used for or diverted to purposes other than for the
         exclusive benefit of Participants and Beneficiaries.

         Any notice from the Trustee to the Employer, Participant or
         Beneficiary provided for in this Agreement shall be effective if sent
         by first class mail to the last address of record.

         Upon receipt of a written request from the Employer, the Trustee shall
         transfer the assets in the Trust for a Participant to any other
         qualified plan maintained by the Employer for the benefit of such
         Participant; and the Trustee shall have no further liability under the
         Plan and Trust with respect to any assets so transferred.

         This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the personal
         representatives, successors and assigns of the Employer and the
         Trustee.

PLAN DOCUMENT


                                  ARTICLE VIII
                     PARTICIPANT ADMINISTRATIVE PROVISIONS

8.01     "BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION"
         Any Participant may from time to time designate, in writing, any
         person or persons, contingently or successively, to whom the Trustee
         will pay his Accrued Benefit (including any life insurance proceeds
         payable to the Participant's Account) on event of his death and the
         Participant may designate the form and method of payment. The Advisory
         Committee will prescribe the form for the written designation of
         Beneficiary and, upon the Participant's filing the form with the
         Advisory Committee, the form effectively revokes all designations
         filed prior to that date by the same Participant.

         COORDINATION WITH SURVIVOR REQUIREMENTS. If the joint and survivor
         requirements of Article VI apply to the Participant, this Section 8.01
         does not impose any special spousal consent requirements on the
         Participant's Beneficiary designation. However, in the absence of
         spousal consent (as required by Article VI) to the Beneficiary
         designation: (1) any waiver of the joint and survivor annuity or of
         the pre-retirement survivor annuity is not valid; and (2) if the
         Participant dies prior to his annuity starting date, the Beneficiary
         designation will apply only to the portion of the death benefit which
         is not payable as a pre-retirement survivor annuity.

         PROFIT SHARING PLAN EXCEPTION. If the Plan is a profit sharing plan,
         and the Employer elects to apply the joint and survivor requirements
         only to Participants described in Section 6.04(E), the Beneficiary
         designation of a married Participant who is not described in Section
         6.04(E) is not valid unless the Participant's spouse consents (in a
         manner described in Section 6.05) to the Beneficiary designation. The
         spousal consent requirement in this paragraph does not apply if the
         Participant and his spouse are not married throughout the one year
         period ending on the date of the Participant's death, or if the
         Participant's spouse is the Participant's sole primary Beneficiary.

8.02     "NO BENEFICIARY DESIGNATION"
         If a Participant fails to name a Beneficiary in accordance with
         Section 8.01, or if the Beneficiary named by a Participant predeceases
         him or dies before complete distribution of the Participant's Accrued
         Benefit as prescribed by the Participant's Beneficiary form, then the
         Trustee will pay the Participant's Accrued Benefit in accordance with
         Section 6.02 in the following order of priority:

         (A)     The Participant's surviving spouse;

         (B)     The Participant's surviving children, including adopted
                 children, in equal shares;

         (C)     The Participant's surviving parents, in equal shares; or

         (D)     The legal representative of the estate of the last to die of
                 the Participant and his Beneficiary.

         The Advisory Committee will direct the Trustee as to the method and to
         whom the Trustee will make payment under this Section 8.02. If a
         benefit is forfeited because the participant or beneficiary cannot be
         found, such benefit will be reinstated if a claim is made by the
         participant or beneficiary.

8.03     "PERSONAL DATA TO COMMITTEE"
         Each Participant and each Beneficiary of a deceased Participant must
         furnish to the Advisory Committee such evidence, data or information
         as the Advisory Committee considers necessary or desirable for the
         purpose of administering the Plan. The provisions of this Plan are
         effective for the benefit of each Participant upon the condition
         precedent that each Participant will furnish promptly full, true and
         complete evidence, data and information when requested by the Advisory
         Committee, provided the Advisory Committee advises each Participant of
         the effect of his failure to comply with its request.

8.04     "ADDRESS FOR NOTIFICATION"
         Each Participant and each Beneficiary of a deceased Participant must
         file with the Advisory Committee from time to time, in writing, his
         post office address and any change of post office address. Any
         communication, statement or notice addressed to a Participant, or
         Beneficiary, at his last post office address filed with the Advisory
         Committee, or as shown on the records of the Employer, binds the
         Participant, or Beneficiary, for all purposes of this Plan.

8.05     "ASSIGNMENT OR ALIENATION"
         Subject to Code Section 414(p) relating to qualified domestic 
         relations orders or domestic relations orders entered into before
         January 1, 1985, neither a Participant nor a Beneficiary may
         anticipate, assign or alienate voluntarily or involuntarily (either at
         law or in equity) any benefit provided under the Plan, and the Trustee
         will not recognize any such anticipation, assignment or alienation. 
         Furthermore, a benefit under the Plan is not subject to attachment,
         garnishment, levy, execution or other legal or equitable process.





                                       23
<PAGE>   58

8.06     "NOTICE OF CHANGE IN TERMS"
         The Plan Administrator, within the time prescribed by ERISA and the
         applicable regulations, must furnish all Participants and
         Beneficiaries a summary description of any material amendment to the
         Plan or notice of discontinuance of the Plan and all other information
         required by ERISA to be furnished without charge.

8.07     "LITIGATION AGAINST THE TRUST"
         A court of competent jurisdiction may authorize any appropriate
         equitable relief to redress violations of ERISA or to enforce any
         provisions of ERISA or the terms of the Plan. A fiduciary may receive
         reimbursement of expenses properly and actually incurred in the
         performance of his duties with the Plan.

8.08     "INFORMATION AVAILABLE"
         Any Participant in the Plan or any Beneficiary may examine copies of
         the Plan description, latest annual report, any bargaining agreement,
         this Plan and Trust, contract or any other instrument under which the
         Plan was established or is operated. The Plan Administrator will
         maintain all of the items listed in this Section 8.08 in his office,
         or in such other place or places as he may designate from time to time
         in order to comply with the regulations issued under ERISA, for
         examination during reasonable business hours. Upon the written request
         of a Participant or Beneficiary the Plan Administrator must furnish
         him with a copy of any item listed in this Section 8.08. The Plan
         Administrator may make a reasonable charge to the requesting person
         for the copy so furnished.

8.09     "APPEAL PROCEDURE FOR DENIAL OF BENEFITS"
         The Plan Administrator must provide adequate notice in writing to any
         Participant or to any Beneficiary ("Claimant") whose claim for
         benefits under the Plan the Advisory Committee has denied. The Plan
         Administrator's notice to the Claimant must set forth:

         (A)     The specific reason for the denial;

         (B)     Specific references to pertinent Plan provisions on which the
                 Advisory Committee based its denial;

         (C)     A description of any additional material and information
                 needed for the Claimant to perfect his claim and an
                 explanation of why the material or information is needed; and

         (D)     That any appeal the Claimant wishes to make of the adverse
                 determination must be in writing to the Advisory Committee
                 within 75 days after receipt of the Plan Administrator's
                 notice of denial of benefits. The Plan Administrator's notice
                 must further advise the Claimant that his failure to appeal
                 the action to the Advisory Committee in writing within the
                 75-day period will render the Advisory Committee's
                 determination final, binding and conclusive.

         If the Claimant should appeal to the Advisory Committee, he, or his
         duly authorized representative, may submit, in writing, whatever
         issues and comments he, or his duly authorized representative, feels
         are pertinent. The Claimant, or his duly authorized representative,
         may review pertinent Plan documents. The Advisory Committee will
         re-examine all facts related to the appeal and make a final
         determination as to whether the denial of benefits is justified under
         the circumstances. The Advisory Committee must advise the Claimant of
         its decision within 60 days of the Claimant's written request for
         review, unless special circumstances (such as a hearing) would make
         the rendering of a decision within the 60-day limit unfeasible, but in
         no event may the Advisory Committee render a decision respecting a
         denial for a claim for benefits later than 120 days after its receipt
         of a request for review.

         The Plan Administrator's notice of denial of benefit must identify the
         name of each member of the Advisory Committee and the name and address
         of the Advisory Committee member to whom the Claimant may forward
         his appeal.

8.10     "PARTICIPANT DIRECTION OF INVESTMENT"
         A Participant has the right to direct the Employer with respect to the
         investment or re-investment of the assets comprising the Participant's
         individual Account only if the Employer consents in writing to permit
         such direction. If the Employer consents to Participant direction of
         investment, the Employer and each Participant must execute a letter
         agreement as a part of this Plan containing such conditions,
         limitations and other provisions they deem appropriate before the
         Employer will follow any Participant direction as respects the
         investment or re-investment of any part of the Participant's
         individual Account. The Employer is not liable for any loss, nor is
         liable for any breach, resulting from a Participant's direction of the
         investment of any part of his individual Account.

                              ADVISORY COMMITTEE -
                  DUTIES WITH RESPECT TO PARTICIPANTS' ACCOUNTS

9.01     "MEMBERS' COMPENSATION, EXPENSES"
         The Employer must appoint an Advisory Committee to administer the
         Plan, the members of which may or may not be Participants in the Plan,
         or which may be the Plan Administrator acting alone. The members of
         the Advisory Committee will serve without compensation for services as
         such, but the Employer will pay all expenses of the Advisory
         Committee, including the expense for any bond required under ERISA.

9.02     "TERM"
         Each member of the Advisory Committee serves until the appointment of
         his successor.

9.03     "POWERS"
         In case of a vacancy in the membership of the Advisory Committee, the
         remaining members of the Advisory Committee may exercise any and all
         of the powers, authority, duties and discretion conferred upon the
         Advisory Committee pending the filling of the vacancy.

9.04     "GENERAL"
         The Advisory Committee has the following powers and duties:

                 (A)      To select a Secretary, who need not be a member of
                          the Advisory Committee;

                 (B)      To determine the rights of eligibility of an Employee
                          to participate in the Plan, the value of a
                          Participant's Accrued Benefit and the Nonforfeitable
                          percentage of each Participant's Accrued Benefit;

                 (C)      To adopt rules of procedure and regulations necessary
                          for the proper and efficient administration of the
                          Plan provided the rules are not inconsistent with the
                          terms of this Agreement;

                 (D)      To enforce the terms of the Plan and the rules and
                          regulations it adopts;

                 (E)      To direct the Trustee as respects the crediting and
                          distribution of the Trust;

                 (F)      To review and render decisions respecting a claim for
                          (or denial of a claim for) a benefit under the Plan;

                 (G)      To furnish the Employer with information which the
                          Employer may require for tax or other purposes;

                 (H)      To engage the service of agents whom it may deem
                          advisable to assist it with the performance of its 
                          duties;

                 (I)      To establish and maintain a funding standard account
                          and to make credits and charges to the account to the
                          extent required by and in accordance with the
                          provisions of the Code.

                 The Advisory Committee must exercise all of its powers, duties
                 and discretion under the Plan in a uniform and
                 nondiscriminatory manner.

9.05     "FUNDING POLICY"
         The Advisory Committee will review, not less often than annually, all
         pertinent Employee information and Plan data in order to establish the
         funding policy of the Plan and to determine the appropriate methods of
         carrying out the Plan's objectives.

9.06     "MANNER OF ACTION"
         The decision of a majority of the members appointed and qualified
         controls.

9.07     "INTERESTED MEMBER"
         No member of the Advisory Committee may decide or determine any matter
         concerning the distribution, nature or method of settlement of his own
         benefits under the Plan, except in exercising an election available to
         that member in his capacity as a Participant, unless the Plan
         Administrator is acting alone in the capacity of the Advisory
         Committee.

9.08     "INDIVIDUAL ACCOUNTS"
         The Advisory Committee will maintain, or direct the Trustee to
         maintain, a separate Account, or multiple Accounts, in the name of
         each Participant to reflect the Participant's Accrued Benefit under
         the Plan.

         The Advisory Committee will make its allocations, or request the
         Trustee to make its allocations, to the Accounts of the Participants
         in accordance with the provisions of Section 9.11. The Advisory
         Committee may direct the Trustee to maintain a temporary segregated
         investment Account in the name of a Participant to prevent a
         distortion of income, gain or loss allocations under Section 9.11. The
         Advisory Committee must maintain records of its activities.





                                       25
<PAGE>   60

9.09     "VALUE OF PARTICIPANT'S ACCRUED BENEFIT"
         The value of each Participant's Accrued Benefit consists of that
         proportion of the net worth (at fair market value) of the Employer's
         Trust Fund which the net credit balance in his Account (exclusive of
         the cash value of incidental benefit insurance contracts) bears to the
         total net credit balance in the Accounts (exclusive of the cash value
         of the incidental benefit insurance contracts) of all Participants
         plus the cash surrender value of any incidental benefit insurance
         contracts held by the Employer on the Participant's life.

         For purposes of a distribution under the Plan, the value of a
         Participant's Accrued Benefit is its value as of the valuation date
         immediately preceding the date of the distribution.

9.10     "ALLOCATIONS AND DISTRIBUTION OF NET INCOME GAIN OR LOSS"
         A "valuation date" under this Plan is each Accounting Date. As of each
         valuation date, the Advisory Committee must adjust Accounts to reflect
         net income, gain or loss since the last valuation date. The valuation
         period is the period beginning the day after the last valuation date
         and ending on the current valuation date.

         The assets of the trust will be valued annually at fair market value
         as of the last day of the plan year. On such date, the earnings and
         losses of the trust will be allocated to each participant's account in
         the ratio that such account balance bears to all account balances.

         TRUST FUND ACCOUNTS. The allocation provisions of this paragraph apply
         to all Participant Accounts other than segregated investment Accounts.
         The Advisory Committee first will adjust the Participant Accounts, as
         those Accounts stood at the beginning of the current valuation period,
         for amounts charged during the valuation period to the Accounts in
         accordance with Section 9.12 (relating to distributions) and Section
         10.01 (relating to insurance premiums), for the cash value of
         incidental benefit insurance contracts and for the amount of any
         Account which the Trustee has fully distributed since the immediately
         preceding valuation date. The Advisory Committee subject to Section
         9.12, will allocate the net income, gain or loss pro rata to the
         adjusted Participant Accounts. The allocable net income, gain or loss
         is the net income (or net loss), including the increase or decrease in
         the fair market value of assets, since the last valuation date.

         SEGREGATED INVESTMENT ACCOUNTS. A segregated investment Account
         receives all income it earns and bears all expense or loss it incurs.

         ADDITIONAL RULES. An Excess Amount or suspense account
         described in Part 2 of Article III does not share in the allocation of
         net income, gain or loss described in this Section 9.10. If the
         Employer's Plan includes a Code Section 401(k) arrangement, the
         Employer may specify in its Adoption Agreement alternate valuation
         provisions authorized by that Adoption Agreement. This Section 9.10
         applies solely to the allocation of net income, gain or loss of the
         Trust. The Advisory Committee will allocate the Employer contributions
         in accordance with Article III.

9.11     "INDIVIDUAL STATEMENT"
         As soon as practicable after the Accounting Date of each Plan Year,
         but within the time prescribed by ERISA and the regulations under
         ERISA, the Plan Administrator will deliver to each Participant (and to
         each Beneficiary) a statement reflecting the condition of his Accrued
         Benefit in the Trust as of that date and such other information ERISA
         requires be furnished the Participant or Beneficiary. No Participant,
         except a member of the Advisory Committee, has the right to inspect
         the records reflecting the Account of any other Participant.

9.12     "ACCOUNT CHARGED"
         The Advisory Committee will charge all distributions made to a
         Participant or to his Beneficiary from his Account against the Account
         of the Participant when made.

9.13     "MISSING BENEFICIARY"
         If the Employer shall be unable to locate any Beneficiary entitled to
         receive payment of any death benefit payable hereunder, after
         reasonable search, for a period of two years after such benefit
         becomes payable, the amount of such benefit shall cease to be payable
         to such Beneficiary, and shall become payable instead to the personal
         representative of such former Participant.

                                   ARTICLE X

                        PROVISIONS RELATING TO INSURANCE

10.01       "INSURANCE BENEFIT ANNUITY"
            The Employer in accordance with the direction of the respective
            Participants in accordance with any uniform rules adopted by the
            Employer and made known to Participants may elect to invest
            contributions to the Plan in incidental life insurance benefits or
            one or more annuity contracts distributed by Kemper Financial
            Services, Inc. or an affiliate, provided, however, that:

            (A)  ORDINARY LIFE. The premiums paid for ordinary life
                 insurance on the life of a Participant must at all times
                 be less than 50% of the Employer contributions made on
                 behalf of such Participant.  For purposes of these
                 incidental insurance provisions, ordinary life insurance
                 contracts are contracts with both nondecreasing death
                 benefits and nonincreasing premiums.

            (B)  TERM.  The premiums paid for term, universal and all
                 other life insurance which is not ordinary life insurance
                 on the life of any Participant may not exceed 25% of the
                 Employer contributions made on behalf of such
                 Participant.

            (C)  COMBINATION.  If both ordinary life and term insurance are
                 purchased on the life of any Participant, the sum of the term
                 insurance premium plus one-half of the ordinary life premiums
                 may not exceed 25% of the Employer contributions made on 
                 behalf of such Participant.

            (D)  ANNUITIES.  The terms of any annuity contract purchased
                 and distributed by the Plan to a Participant shall comply
                 with the requirements of this Plan.

                 Such direction of the participant's creates a segregated
                 asset account.  Except as provided in this Section 10.01
                 and Section 8.10, each participant will have a ratable
                 interest in all assets of the trust.  It will be the
                 Employer's responsibility to see that the limitations of
                 this Article X are not exceeded.

10.02       "FORM OF CONTRACT AND PREMIUM"
            The Employer shall apply for any contract under this Article X and
            each application for contract, and the contracts themselves, shall
            nominate and designate the Participant as sole owner, but each
            contract shall be held by the Employer and shall be restricted and
            not transferable.

            The Employer shall pay directly to the insurance company all
            amounts pursuant to an election under this Article X and shall
            charge the premiums on any such contract(s) against the
            contributions by or on behalf of such Participant.  After payment
            of any premium, the Employer shall remit the balance of such
            contributions to the Trustee hereunder.  The Employer shall hold
            all contracts issued under the Plan and fully account for same to
            the Trustee upon written request.

            In the event of any conflicts between the terms of this Plan and
            the terms of any insurance contracts hereunder, the Plan provisions
            shall control.

            Any dividends or credits earned on insurance contracts will be
            allocated to the participant's account derived from employer
            contributions for whose benefit the contract is held.

10.03       "LIMITATION OF LIFE INSURANCE PROTECTION"
            The Employer shall not continue any life insurance protection for
            any Participant beyond his actual termination of employment.

            If the Employer holds any insurance contract(s) on the life of a
            Participant when the Participant terminates his employment, subject
            to Article VI, the Employer shall transfer the contract(s) to the
            Participant endorsed so as to vest in the transferee all right,
            title and interest to the contract(s), free and clear of the Plan;
            subject, however, to restrictions as to surrender or payment of
            benefits as the issuing insurance company may permit and as the
            Employer shall direct.

            Subject to Article VI, Joint and Survivor Annuity Requirements, the
            contracts on a participant's life will be converted to cash or an
            annuity or distributed to the participant upon commencement of
            benefits.

<PAGE>   62

                            ARTICLE XI MISCELLANEOUS

11.01     "EVIDENCE"
          Anyone required to give evidence under the terms of the Plan may do
          so by certificate, affidavit, document or other information which the
          person to act in reliance may consider pertinent, reliable and
          genuine, and to have been signed, made or presented by the proper
          party or parties. Both the Advisory Committee and the Trustee are
          fully protected in acting and relying upon any evidence described
          under the immediately preceding sentence.

11.02     "NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR EMPLOYER ACTION"
          Neither the Trustee nor the Advisory Committee has any obligation or
          responsibility with respect to any action required by the Plan to be
          taken by the Employer, any Participant or eligible Employee, or for
          the failure of any of the above persons to act or make any payment or
          contribution, or to otherwise provide any benefit contemplated under
          this Plan. Furthermore, the Plan does not require the Trustee or the
          Advisory Committee to collect any contribution required under the
          Plan, or to determine the correctness of the amount of any Employer
          contribution. Neither the Trustee nor the Advisory Committee need
          inquire into or be responsible for any action or failure to act on
          the part of the others. Any action required of a corporate Employer
          must be by its Board of Directors or its designate.

11.03     "FIDUCIARIES NOT INSURERS"
          The Trustee, the Advisory Committee, the Plan Administrator and the
          Employer in no way guarantee the Trust Fund from loss or
          depreciation. The Employer does not guarantee the payment of any
          money which may be or becomes due to any person from the Trust Fund.
          The liability of the Advisory Committee and the Trustee to make any
          payment from the Trust Fund at any time and all times is limited to
          the then available assets of the Trust.

11.04     "WAIVER OF NOTICE"
          Any person entitled to notice under the Plan may waive the notice.

11.05     "SUCCESSORS"
          The Plan is binding upon all persons entitled to benefits under the
          Plan, their respective heirs and legal representatives, upon the
          Employer, its successors and assigns, and upon the Trustee, the
          Advisory Committee, the Plan Administrator and their successors.

11.06     "WORD USAGE"
          Words used in the masculine also apply to the feminine where
          applicable, and wherever the context of the Employer's Plan dictates,
          the plural includes the singular and the singular includes the
          plural.

11.07     "EMPLOYER'S RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE"
          If the Employer's Plan fails to attain or retain qualification under
          section 401 of the Code, the Plan will no longer participate in this
          Kemper Simplified Prototype Retirement Plan and will be considered an
          individually-designed plan.

11.08     "EMPLOYMENT NOT GUARANTEED"
          Nothing contained in this Plan, or with respect to the establishment
          of the Trust, or any modification of amendment to the Plan or Trust,
          or in the creation of any Account, or the payment of any benefit,
          gives any Employee, Employee-Participant or any Beneficiary any right
          to continue employment, any legal or equitable right against the
          Employer, or Employee of the Employer, or against the Trustee, or its
          agents or employees, or against the Plan Administrator, except as
          expressly provided by the Plan, the Trust, ERISA or by a separate
          agreement.

                                  ARTICLE XII
                   EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT, AMENDMENT, TERMINATION

12.01     "EXCLUSIVE BENEFIT"
          Any contribution made by the employer because of a mistake of fact
          must be returned to the employer within one year of the contribution.
          In the event that the Commissioner of Internal Revenue determines
          that the plan is not initially qualified under the Internal Revenue
          Code, any contribution made incident to that initial qualification by
          the employer must be returned to the employer within one year after
          the date the initial qualification is denied, but only if the
          application for the qualification is made by the time prescribed by
          law for filing the employer's return for the taxable year in which
          the plan is adopted, or such later date as the Secretary of the
          Treasury may prescribe.

12.02     "AMENDMENT BY EMPLOYER" 
          The Employer may change the choice of options in the adoption
          agreement and add overriding language in the adoption agreement when
          such language is necessary to satisfy Section 415 or Section 416 of 
          the Code because of the required aggregation of multiple plans, and
          add certain model amendments published by the Internal Revenue
          Service which specifically provide that their adoption will not cause
          the plan to be treated as individually designed. An employer that
          amends the plan for any other reason, including a waiver of the
          minimum funding requirement under Section 412(d), will no longer
          participate in this master or prototype plan and will be considered
          to have an individually designed plan.
        
          No amendment may authorize or permit any of the Trust Fund (other
          than the part which is required to pay taxes and administration
          expenses) to be used for or diverted to purposes other than for the
          exclusive benefit of the Participants or their Beneficiaries or
          estates. No amendment may cause or permit any portion of the Trust
          Fund to revert to or become a property of the Employer. The Employer
          also may not make any amendment which affects the rights, duties or
          responsibilities of the Trustee, the Plan Administrator or the
          Advisory Committee without the written consent of the affected
          Trustee, the Plan Administrator or the affected member of the
          Advisory Committee.

          If the plan's vesting schedule is amended, or the plan is amended in
          any way that directly or indirectly affects the computation of the
          participant's nonforfeitable percentage or if the plan is deemed
          amended by an automatic change to or from a top-heavy vesting
          schedule, each participant with at least 3 years of service with the
          employer may elect, within a reasonable period after the adoption of
          the amendment or change, to have the nonforfeitable percentage
          computed under the plan without regard to such amendment or change.
          For participants who do not have at least one hour of service in any
          plan year beginning after December 31, 1988, the preceding sentence
          shall be applied by substituting "five years of service" for "three
          years of service" where such language appears.

          The period during which the election may be made shall commence with
          the date the amendment is adopted or deemed to be made and shall end
          on the latest of:

          (1) 60 days after the amendment is adopted;

          (2) 60 days after the amendment becomes effective; or

          (3) 60 days after the participant is issued written notice of
              the amendment by the employer or plan administrator.

          Furthermore, if the vesting schedule of a plan is amended, in the
          case of an employee who is a participant as of the later of the date
          such amendment is adopted or the date it becomes effective, the
          nonforfeitable percentage (determined as of such date) of such
          employee's right to his employer-derived accrued benefit will not be
          less than his percentage computed under the plan without regard to
          such amendment.

          CODE SECTION 411(D)(6) PROTECTED BENEFITS. An amendment (including
          the adoption of this Plan as a restatement of an existing plan) may
          not decrease a Participant's Accrued Benefit, except to the extent
          permitted under Code Section 412(c)(8), and may not reduce or
          eliminate Code Section 411 (d)(6) protected benefits determined
          immediately prior to the adoption date (or, if later, the effective
          date) of the amendment. An amendment reduces or eliminates Code
          Section 411 (d)(6) protected benefits if the amendment has the effect
          of either (1) eliminating or reducing an early retirement benefit or
          a retirement-type subsidy (as defined in Treasury regulations), or
          (2) except as provided by Treasury regulations, eliminating an
          optional form of benefit. The Advisory Committee must disregard an
          amendment to the extent application of the amendment would fail to
          satisfy this paragraph. If the Advisory Committee must disregard an
          amendment because the amendment would violate clause (1) or clause
          (2), the Advisory Committee must maintain a schedule of the early
          retirement option or other optional forms of benefit the Plan must
          continue for the affected Participants.
        
          The Employer must make all amendments in writing. Each amendment must
          state the date to which it is either retroactively or prospectively
          effective. See Section 11.08 for the effect of certain amendments
          adopted by the Employer.

12.03     "AMENDMENT BY PLAN SPONSOR"
          The Plan Sponsor, without the Employer's consent, may amend the Plan
          and Trust, from time to time, in order to conform the Plan and Trust
          to any requirement for qualification of the Plan and Trust under the
          Internal Revenue Code. The Plan Sponsor may not amend the Plan in any
          manner which would modify any election made by the Employer under the
          Plan without the Employer's written consent.

          For purposes of sponsoring organization amendments, the mass
          submitter shall be recognized as the agent of the sponsoring
          organization. If the sponsoring organization does not adopt the
          amendments made by the mass submitter, it will no longer be identical
          to or a minor modifier of the mass submitter plan.

12.04     "DISCONTINUANCE"
          The Employer has the right, at any time, to suspend or discontinue
          its contributions under the Plan, and to terminate, at any time, this
          Plan and the Trust created under this Agreement. The Plan will
          terminate upon the first to occur of the following:

          (A)  The date terminated by action of the Employer;

          (B)  The date the Employer is judicially declared bankrupt or
               insolvent, unless the proceeding authorizes continued
               maintenance of the Plan;

          (C)  The dissolution, merger, consolidation or reorganization
               of the Employer or the sale by the Employer of all or
               substantially all of its assets, unless the successor or
               purchaser makes provision to continue the Plan, in which
               event the successor or purchaser must substitute itself
               as the Employer under this Plan.

          In the event of a complete discontinuance of contributions under the
          plan, the account balance of each affected participant will be
          nonforfeitable.

12.05     "MERGER/DIRECT TRANSFER"
          The Trustee may not consent to, or be a party to, any merger or
          consolidation with another plan, or to a transfer of assets or
          liabilities to another plan, unless immediately after the merger,
          consolidation or transfer (if the plan is then terminated), the
          surviving Plan provides each Participant a benefit equal to or
          greater than the benefit each Participant would have received had the
          Plan terminated immediately before the merger or consolidation or
          transfer. The Trustee possesses the specific authority to enter into
          merger agreements or direct transfer of assets agreements with the
          trustees of other retirement plans described in Code Section 401(a),
          including an elective transfer, and to accept the direct transfer of
          plan assets, or to transfer plan assets, as a party to any such
          agreement.

          The Trustee may accept a direct transfer of plan assets on behalf of
          an Employee prior to the date the Employee satisfies the Plan's
          eligibility conditions. If the Trustee accepts such a direct transfer
          of plan assets, the Advisory Committee and Trustee must treat the
          Employee as a Participant for all purposes of the Plan except the
          Employee is not a Participant for purposes of sharing in Employer
          contributions under the Plan until he actually becomes a Participant
          in the Plan.

          The Trustee, after August 9,1988, may not consent to, or be a
          party to a merger, consolidation or transfer of assets with a defined
          benefit plan, except with respect to an elective transfer. The
          Trustee will hold, administer and distribute the transferred assets
          as a part of the Trust Fund and the Trustee must maintain a separate
          Employer contribution Account for the benefit of the Employee on
          whose behalf the Trustee accepted the transfer in order to reflect
          the value of the transferred assets. Unless a transfer of assets to
          this Plan is an elective transfer, the Plan will preserve all Code
          Section 411(d)(6) protected benefits with respect to those
          transferred assets, in the manner described in Section 13.02. A
          transfer is an elective transfer if: (1) the transfer satisfies the
          first paragraph of this Section 13.06; (2) the transfer is voluntary,
          under a fully informed election by the Participant; (3) the
          Participant has an alternative that retains his Code Section
          411(d)(6) protected benefits (including an option to leave his
          benefit in the transferor plan, if that plan is not terminating); (4)
          the transfer satisfies the applicable spousal consent requirements of
          the Code; (5) the transferor plan satisfies the joint and survivor
          notice requirements of the Code, if the Participant's transferred
          benefit is subject to those requirements; (6) the Participant has a
          right to immediate distribution from the transferor plan, in lieu of
          the elective transfer; (7) the transferred benefit is at least the
          greater of the single sum distribution provided by the transferor
          plan for which the Participant is eligible or the present value of
          the Participant's accrued benefit under the transferor plan payable
          at that plan's normal retirement age; (8) the Participant has a 100%
          Nonforfeitable interest in the transferred benefit; and (9) the
          transfer otherwise satisfies applicable Treasury regulations. An
          elective transfer may occur between qualified plans of any type. Any
          direct transfer of assets from a defined benefit plan after August 9,
          1988, which is not an elective transfer will render the Employer's
          Plan individually designed.



          DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTIONS UNDER CODE SECTION 401(K). If the Plan
          receives a direct transfer (by merger or otherwise) of elective
          contributions (or amounts treated as elective contributions) under a
          Plan with a Code Section 401(k) arrangement, the distribution
          restrictions of Code Sections 401(k)(2) and (10) continue to apply
          to those transferred elective contributions.

12.06     "TERMINATION"
          Upon termination of the Plan, the distribution provisions of Article
          VI remain operative, with the following exceptions:

          (1)  If the present value of the Participant's Nonforfeitable
               Accrued Benefit does not exceed $3,500, the Advisory
               Committee will direct the Trustee to distribute the
               Participant's Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit to him in
               lump sum as soon as administratively practicable after
               the Plan terminates; and

          (2)  If the present value of the Participant's Nonforfeitable
               Accrued Benefit exceeds $3,500, the Participant or the
               Beneficiary, in addition may elect to have the Trustee
               commence distribution of his Nonforfeitable Accrued
               Benefit as soon as administratively practicable after the
               Plan terminates.

               To liquidate the Trust, the Advisory Committee will
               purchase a deferred annuity contract for each Participant
               which protects the Participant's distribution rights
               under the Plan, if the Participant's Nonforfeitable
               Accrued Benefit exceeds $3,500 and the Participant does
               not elect an immediate distribution pursuant to Paragraph
               (2). The Trust will continue until the Trustee in
               accordance with the direction of the Advisory Committee
               has distributed all of the benefits under the Plan.

               On each valuation date, the Advisory Committee will
               credit any part of a Participant's Accrued Benefit
               retained in the Trust with its proportionate share of the
               Trust's income, expenses, gains and losses, both realized
               and unrealized. Upon termination of the Plan, the Amount,
               if any, in a suspense account under Article III will
               revert to the Employer, subject to the conditions of the
               Treasury regulations permitting such a reversion. A
               resolution or amendment to freeze all future benefit
               accrual but otherwise to continue maintenance of this
               Plan, is not a termination for purposes of this Section 
               12.06.

               DISTRIBUTION RESTRICTIONS UNDER CODE SECTION 401(K). If
               the Employer's Plan includes a Code Section 401(k) 
               arrangement or if transferred assets described in Section 
               13.06 are subject to the distribution restrictions of Code 
               Sections 401(k)(2) and (10), the special distribution 
               provisions of this Section 12.06 are subject to the 
               restrictions of this paragraph. The portion of the Participant's
               Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit attributable to elective
               contributions (or to amounts treated under the Code
               Section 401(k) arrangement as elective contributions) is
               not distributable on account of Plan termination, as
               described in this Section 12.06, unless: (a) the
               Participant otherwise is entitled under the Plan to a
               distribution of that portion of his Nonforfeitable
               Accrued Benefit; or (b) the Plan termination occurs
               without the establishment of a successor plan. A
               successor plan under clause (b) is a defined contribution
               plan (other than an ESOP) maintained by the Employer (or
               by a related employer) at the time of the termination of
               the Plan or within the period ending twelve months after
               the final distribution of assets. A distribution made
               after March 31, 1988, pursuant to clause (b), must be part
               of a lump sum distribution to the Participant of his
               Nonforfeitable Accrued Benefit.

               In the event of the termination or partial termination of
               the plan, the account balance of each affected
               participant will be nonforfeitable.

                                  ARTICLE XIII
                            CODE SECTION 401(k) ARRANGEMENTS

13.01     "ELIGIBILITY"
          This Article XIII applies to an Employer's Plan only if the Plan 
          includes a Code Section 401(k) arrangement.

          An employee's eligibility to make Elective Deferrals may not be
          conditioned upon the completion of more than one (1) year of service
          or the attainment of more than age twenty-one (21). An employee's
          eligibility to receive Matching Contributions, Qualified Matching
          Contributions, or Qualified Nonelective Contributions may be
          conditioned upon the completion of up to two (2) years of service. No
          contributions or benefits (other than Matching Contributions or
          Qualified Matching Contributions) may be conditioned upon an
          employee's Elective Deferrals.

          The Employer must specify a reasonable period in the Adoption
          Agreement of at least once each calendar year during which a
          participant may elect to commence Elective Deferrals. Such election
          may not be made retroactively. A participant's election to commence
          elective Deferrals must remain in effect until modified or
          terminated.

          The Employer must also specify in the Adoption Agreement a reasonable
          period at least once each calendar year to terminate an election or
          to modify the amount or frequency of his or her Elective Deferrals.

13.02     "SALARY REDUCTION AGREEMENT"
          The Employer will elect in its Adoption Agreement the terms of the
          Code Section 401(k) arrangement under the Plan.

          Any Employee eligible to participate in the Plan may file a salary 
          reduction agreement with the Advisory Committee. The salary reduction
          agreement may not be effective earlier than the following date which 
          occurs last: (i) the Employee's Plan Entry Date (or, in the case of 
          a reemployed Employee, his reparticipation date under Article II); 
          (ii) the execution date of the Employee's salary reduction agreement;
          (iii) the date the Employer adopts the Code Section 401(k) 
          arrangement by executing the Adoption Agreement; or (iv) the 
          effective date of the Code Section 401(k) arrangement, as specified  
          in the Employer's Adoption Agreement. A salary reduction agreement  
          must specify the amount of Compensation (as defined in Section 1.12) 
          or percentage of Compensation the Employee wishes to defer. The 
          salary reduction agreement will apply only to Compensation which 
          becomes currently available to the Employee after the effective
          date of the salary reduction agreement. The Employer will apply a
          reduction election to all Compensation (and to increases in such
          Compensation) unless the Employee specifies in his salary reduction
          agreement to limit the election to certain Compensation. The Employer
          will specify in Adoption Agreement Section 3.01 the rules and
          restrictions applicable to the Employee's salary reduction
          agreements, however, under no circumstances, may a salary reduction
          agreement or other deferral mechanism be adopted retroactively.

13.03     "DEFINITIONS"
          For purposes of this Article XIII:

          (1)         "ACTUAL DEFERRAL PERCENTAGE" shall mean, for a specified
                      group of participants for a Plan Year, the average of the
                      ratios (calculated separately for each participant in
                      such group) of (1) the amount of employer contributions
                      actually paid over to the trust on behalf of such
                      participant for the Plan Year to (2) the participant's
                      Compensation for such Plan Year to (whether or not the
                      employee was a participant for the entire Plan Year).
                      Employer contributions on behalf of any participant shall
                      include: (1) any Elective Deferrals made pursuant to the
                      participant's deferral election, including Excess
                      Elective Deferrals of Highly Compensated Employees, but
                      excluding Elective Deferrals that are taken into account
                      in the Contribution Percentage test (provided the ADP
                      test is satisfied both with and without exclusion of
                      these Elective Deferrals); and (2) at the election of the
                      employer, Qualified Nonelective Contributions and
                      Qualified Matching Contributions. For purposes of
                      computing Actual Deferral Percentages, an employee who
                      would be a participant but for the failure to make
                      Elective Deferrals shall be treated as a participant on
                      whose behalf no Elective Deferrals are made.

          (2)         "AGGREGATE LIMIT" shall mean the sum of (i) 125 percent
                      of the greater of the ADP of the Nonhighly Compensated
                      Employees for the Plan Year or the ACP of Nonhighly
                      Compensated Employees under the plan subject to Code
                      Section 401(m) for the Plan Year beginning with or 
                      within the Plan Year of the CODA and (ii) the lesser of 
                      200% or two plus the lesser of such ADP or ACP.  "Lesser"
                      is substituted for "greater" in (i) above, and "greater" 
                      is substituted for "lesser" after "two plus the" in (ii),
                      if it would result in a larger Aggregate Limit.

          (3)         "AVERAGE CONTRIBUTION PERCENTAGE" shall mean the average
                      of the Contribution Percentages of the Eligible
                      Participants in a group.

          (4)         "CONTRIBUTION PERCENTAGE" shall mean the ratio (expressed
                      as a percentage) of the participant's Contribution
                      Percentage Amounts to the participant's Compensation for
                      the Plan Year (whether or not the employee was a
                      participant for the entire Plan Year).

PLAN DOCUMENT

                      into account for purposes of the ADP test) made under the
                      plan on behalf of the participant for the Plan Year. If
                      so elected in the adoption agreement the employer may
                      include Qualified Nonelective Contributions in the
                      Contribution Percentage Amounts. The employer also may
                      elect to use Elective Deferrals in the Contribution
                      Percentage Amounts so long as the ADP test is met before
                      the Elective Deferrals are used in the ACP test and
                      continues to be met following the exclusion of those
                      Elective Deferrals that are used to meet the ACP test.

                      account in the calculation of the Contribution
                      Percentage), or to receive a Matching Contribution

                               behalf of Highly Compensated Employees for such
                               Plan Year, over

                      (b)      The maximum Contribution Percentage Amounts
                               permitted by the ACP test (determined by

                               Compensated Employees in order of their
                               Contribution Percentages beginning with the

                      participant's Elective Deferrals for a taxable year
                      exceed the dollar limitation under such Code section.

                      of an Employee Contribution made by such participant, or
                      on account of a participant's Elective Deferral, under a
                      plan maintained by the employer.

          (12)        "QUALIFIED NONELECTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS" shall mean
                      contributions (other than Matching Contributions or
                      Qualified Matching Contributions) made by the employer

                      participants may not elect to receive in cash until
                      distributed from the plan; that are nonforfeitable when
                      made; and that are distributable only in accordance with

          Notwithstanding any other provision of the plan, Excess Elective
          Deferrals, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto,
          shall be distributed no later than April 15 to any participant to
          whose account Excess Elective Deferrals were assigned for the
          preceding year and who claims Excess Elective Deferrals for such
          taxable year.

          Determination of income or loss: Excess Elective Deferrals shall be
          adjusted for any income or loss up to the date of distribution.  The
          income or loss allocable to Excess Elective Deferrals is the sum of:
          (1) income or loss allocable to the participant's Elective Deferral
          account for the taxable year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator
          of which is such participant's Excess Elective Deferrals for the year
          and the denominator is the participant's account balance attributable
          to Elective Deferrals without regard to any income or loss occurring
          during such taxable year; and (2) ten percent of the amount
          determined under (1) multiplied by the number of whole calendar
          months between the end of the participant's taxable year and the date
          of distribution, counting the month of distribution if distribution
          occurs after the 15th of such month.

13.06     "ACTUAL DEFERRAL PERCENTAGE TEST"
          The Actual Deferral Percentage (hereinafter "ADP") for participants
          who are Highly Compensated Employees for each Plan Year and the ADP
          for participants who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees for the same
          Plan Year must satisfy one of the following tests:

          (1)         The ADP for participants who are Highly Compensated
                      Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the ADP for
                      participants who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees for
                      the same Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or

          (2)         The ADP for participants who are Highly Compensated
                      Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the ADP for
                      participants who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees for
                      the same Plan Year multiplied by 2.0, provided that the
                      ADP for participants who are Highly Compensated Employees
                      does not exceed the ADP for participants who are
                      Nonhighly Compensated Employees by more than two (2)
                      percentage points.

                      SPECIAL RULES:

                      1.       The ADP for any participant who is a Highly
                               Compensated Employee for the Plan Year and who
                               is eligible to have Elective Deferrals (and
                               Qualified Nonelective Contributions or Qualified
                               Matching Contributions, or both, if treated as
                               Elective Deferrals for purposes of the ADP test)
                               allocated to his or her accounts under two or
                               more arrangements described in Section 401(k) 
                               of the Code, that are maintained by the 
                               employer, shall be determined as if such 
                               Elective Deferrals (and, if applicable, such 
                               Qualified Nonelective Contributions or Qualified
                               Matching Contributions, or both) were made under
                               a single arrangement. If a Highly Compensated 
                               Employee participates in two or more cash or 
                               deferred arrangements that have different Plan 
                               Years, all cash or deferred arrangements ending 
                               with or within the same calendar year shall be 
                               treated as a single arrangement.

                      2.       In the event that this plan satisfies the
                               requirements of Ssections 401(k), 401(a)(4), or 
                               410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with one 
                               or more other plans, or if one or more other 
                               plans satisfy the requirements of such sections 
                               of the Code only if aggregated with this plan, 
                               then this Section shall be applied by determin-
                               ing the ADP of employees as if all such plans 
                               were a single plan. For Plan Years beginning 
                               after December 31, 1989, plans may be aggregated
                               in order to satisfy Section 401(k) of the Code 
                               only if they have the same Plan Year.

                      3.       For purposes of determining the ADP of a
                               participant who is a five-percent owner or one
                               of the ten most highly paid Highly Compensated
                               Employees, the Elective Deferrals (and Qualified
                               Nonelective Contributions or Qualified Matching
                               Contributions, or both, if treated as Elective
                               Deferrals for purposes of the ADP test) and
                               Compensation of such participant shall include
                               the Elective Deferrals (and, if applicable
                               Qualified Nonelective Contributions and
                               Qualified Matching Contributions, or both) and
                               Compensation for the Plan Year of Family Members
                               (as defined in Section 414(g)(6) of the Code). 
                               Family Members, with respect to such Highly 
                               Compensated Employees, shall be disregarded as 
                               separate employees in determining the ADP both 
                               for participants who are Nonhighly Compensated
                               Employees and for participants who are Highly
                               Compensated Employees.

                      4.       For purposes of determining the ADP test,
                               Elective Deferrals, Qualified Nonelective
                               Contributions and Qualified Matching
                               Contributions must be made before the last day
                               of the twelve-month period immediately following
                               the Plan Year to which contributions relate.

                      5.       The employer shall maintain records sufficient
                               to demonstrate satisfaction of the ADP test and
                               the amount of Qualified Nonelective
                               Contributions of Qualified Matching
                               Contributions, or both, used in such test.

                      6.       The determination and treatment of the ADP
                               amounts of any participant shall satisfy such
                               other requirements as may be prescribed by the
                               Secretary of the Treasury.

PLAN DOCUMENT

13.07     "DISTRIBUTION OF EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS"
          Notwithstanding any other provision of this plan, Excess
          Contributions, plus any income and minus any loss allocable thereto,
          shall be distributed no later than the last day of each Plan Year to
          participants to whose accounts such Excess Contributions were
          allocated for the preceding Plan Year. If such excess amounts are
          distributed more than 2-1/2 months after the last day of the Plan
          Year in which such excess amounts arose, a ten (10) percent excise
          tax will be imposed on the employer maintaining the plan with respect
          to such amounts. Such distributions shall be made to Highly
          Compensated Employees on the basis of the respective portions of the
          Excess Contributions attributable to each of such employees. Excess
          Contributions shall be allocated to Participants who are subject to
          the family member aggregation rules of Section 414(g)(6) of the Code
          in the manner prescribed by the regulations.

          Excess Contributions (including the amounts recharacterized) shall be
          treated as annual additions under the plan.

          Determination of Income or Loss: Excess Contributions shall be
          adjusted for any income or loss up to the date of distribution. The
          income or loss allocable to Excess Contributions is the sum of: (1)
          income or loss allocable to the participant's Elective Deferral
          account (and, if applicable, the Qualified Nonelective Contribution
          account or the Qualified Matching Contribution account or both) for
          the Plan Year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
          such participant's Excess contributions for the year and the
          denominator is the participant's account balance attributable to
          Elective Deferrals (and Qualified Nonelective Contributions or
          Qualified Matching Contributions, or both, if any of such
          contributions are included in the ADP test) without regard to any
          income or loss occurring during such Plan Year; and (2) ten percent
          of the amount determined under (1) multiplied by the number of whole
          calendar months between the end of the Plan Year and the date of
          distribution, counting the month of distribution if distribution
          occurs after the 15th of such month.

          Accounting for Excess Contributions: Excess Contributions shall be
          distributed from the participant's Elective Deferral account and
          Qualified Matching Contribution account (if applicable) in proportion
          to the participant's Elective Deferrals and Qualified Matching
          Contributions (to the extent used in the ADP test) for the Plan Year.
          Excess Contributions shall be distributed from the participant's
          Qualified Nonelective Contribution account only to the extent that
          such Excess Contributions exceed the balance in the participant's
          Elective Deferral account and Qualified Matching Contribution
          account.

13.08     "MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS"
          If elected by the employer in the adoption agreement, the employer
          will make Matching Contributions to the plan.

13.09     "QUALIFIED MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS"
          If elected by the employer in the adoption agreement, the employer
          will make Qualified Matching Contributions to the plan.

13.10     "LIMITATIONS ON MATCHING CONTRIBUTIONS"
          The ACP for participants who are Highly Compensated Employees for
          each Plan Year and the ACP for participants who are Nonhighly
          Compensated Employees for the same Plan Year must satisfy one of the
          following tests:

          (A)         The ACP for participants who are Highly Compensated
                      Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the ACP for
                      participants who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees for
                      the same Plan Year multiplied by 1.25; or
            
          (B)         The ACP for participants who are Highly Compensated
                      Employees for the Plan Year shall not exceed the ACP for
                      participants who are Nonhighly Compensated Employees for
                      the same Plan Year multiplied by two (2), provided that
                      the ACP for participants who are Highly Compensated
                      Employees does not exceed the ACP for participants who
                      are Nonhighly Compensated Employees by more than two (2)
                      percentage points.

                      SPECIAL RULES:
                      1.       Multiple Use: If one or more Highly Compensated
                               Employees participate in both a CODA and a plan
                               subject to the ACP test maintained by the
                               employer and the sum of the ADP or ACP of those
                               Highly Compensated Employees subject to either
                               or both tests exceeds the Aggregate Limit, then
                               the ACP of those Highly Compensated Employees
                               who also participate in a CODA will be reduced
                               (beginning with such Highly Compensated Employee
                               whose ACP is the highest) so that the limit is
                               not exceeded. The amount by which each Highly
                               Compensated Employee's Contribution Percentage
                               Amounts is reduced shall be treated as an Excess
                               Aggregate Contribution. The ADP or ACP of the
                               Highly Compensated Employees are determined
                               after any corrections required to meet the ADP
                               or ACP tests. Multiple use does not occur if
                               either the ADP or ACP of the Highly Compensated
                               Employees does not exceed 1.25 multiplied by the
                               ADP or ACP of the Nonhighly Compensated
                               Employees.

                      2.       For purposes of this Section, the Contribution
                               Percentage for any participant who is a Highly
                               Compensated Employee and who is eligible to have
                               Contribution Percentage Amounts allocated to his
                               or her account under two or more plans described
                               in Section 401(a) of the Code, or arrangements
                               described in Section 401(k) of the Code that are
                               maintained by the employer, shall be determined
                               as if the total of such Contribution Percentage
                               Amounts was made under each plan. If a Highly
                               Compensated Employee participates in two or more
                               cash or deferred arrangements that have
                               different plan years, all cash or deferred
                               arrangements ending with or within the same
                               calendar year shall be treated as a single
                               arrangement.

                      3.       In the event that this plan satisfies the
                               requirements of Sections 401(m), 401(a)(4) or 
                               410(b) of the Code only if aggregated with one 
                               or more other plans, or if one or more other 
                               plans satisfy the requirements of such sections 
                               of the Code only if aggregated with this plan, 
                               then this Section shall be applied by
                               determining the Contribution Percentage of
                               employees as if all such plans were a single
                               plan. For plan years beginning after December
                               31, 1989, plans may be aggregated in order to
                               satisfy Section 401(m) of the Code only if they
                               have the same Plan Year.

                      4.       For purposes of determining the Contribution
                               percentage of a participant who is a
                               five-percent owner or one of the most highly
                               paid Highly Compensated Employees, the
                               Contribution Percentage Amounts and Compensation
                               of such participant shall include the
                               Contribution Percentage Amounts and Compensation
                               for the Plan Year of Family Members (as defined
                               in Section 414(g)(6) of the Code). Family 
                               Members, with respect to Highly Compensated
                               Employees, shall be disregarded as separate 
                               employees in determining the Contribution 
                               Percentage both for participants who are 
                               Nonhighly Compensated Employees and for 
                               participants who are Highly Compensated 
                               Employees.

                      5.       For purposes of determining the Contribution
                               Percentage test, Employee Contributions are
                               considered to have been made in the Plan Year in
                               which contributed to the trust. Matching
                               Contributions and Qualified Nonelective
                               Contributions will be considered made for a Plan
                               Year if made no later than the end of the
                               twelve-month period beginning on the day after
                               the close of the Plan Year.

                       6.      The employer shall maintain records sufficient
                               to demonstrate satisfaction of the ACP test and
                               the amount of Qualified Nonelective
                               Contributions or Qualified Matching
                               Contributions, or both, used in such test.

                       7.      The determination and treatment of the
                               Contribution Percentage of any participant shall
                               satisfy such other requirements as may be
                               prescribed by the Secretary of the Treasury.

13.11     "DISTRIBUTION OF EXCESS AGGREGATE CONTRIBUTIONS"
          Notwithstanding any other provision of this plan, Excess Aggregate
          Contributions, plus any income and minus any loss allocable
          thereto, shall be distributed no later than the last day of each Plan
          Year to participants whose accounts such Excess Aggregate
          Contributions were allocated for the preceding Plan Year. Excess
          Aggregate Contributions shall be allocated to participants who are
          subject to the family member aggregation rules of Section 414(g)(6)
          of the Code in the  manner prescribed by the regulations. If such
          Excess Aggregate Contributions are distributed more than 2-1/2 months
          after the last day of the Plan Year in which such excess amounts
          arose, a ten (10) percent excise tax will be imposed on the employer
          maintaining the plan with respect to those amounts. Excess Aggregate
          Contributions shall be treated as annual additions under the plan.

          Determination of Income or Loss: Excess Aggregate Contributions shall
          be adjusted for any income or loss up to the date of distribution.
          The income or loss allocable to Excess Aggregate Contributions is the
          sum of: (1) income or loss allocable to the participant's Employee
          Contribution account, Matching Contribution account (if any, and if
          all amounts therein are not used in the ADP test) and, if applicable,
          Qualified Nonelective Contribution account and Elective Deferral
          account for the Plan Year multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of
          which is such participant's Excess Aggregate Contributions for the
          year and the denominator is the participant's account balance(s)
          attributable to Contribution Percentage Amounts without regard to any
          income or loss occurring during such Plan Year; and (2) ten percent
          of the amount determined under (1) multiplied by the number of whole
          calendar months between the end of the Plan Year and the date of
          distribution, counting the month of distribution if distribution
          occurs after the 15th of such month.

          Accounting for Excess Aggregate Contributions: Excess Aggregate
          Contributions shall be distributed on a pro rata basis from the
          participant's Matching Contribution account and qualified Matching
          Contribution account (and, if applicable, the participant's Qualified
          Nonelective Contribution account or Elective Deferral account, or
          both).

          Such determination shall be made after first determining Excess
          Elective Deferrals pursuant to Section 13.03(10) and then
          determining Excess Contributions pursuant to Section 13.03(9).

13.12     "QUALIFIED NONELECTIVE CONTRIBUTIONS"
          The employer may elect to make Qualified Nonelective Contributions
          under the plan on behalf of employees as provided in the adoption
          agreement.

          In addition, in lieu of distributing Excess Contributions as provided
          in Section 13.07 of the plan, or Excess Aggregate Contributions as
          provided in Section 13.11 of the plan, and to the extent elected by
          the employer in the adoption agreement, the employer may make
          Qualified Nonelective Contributions on behalf of Nonhighly
          Compensated Employees that are sufficient to satisfy either the
          Actual Deferral Percentage test or the Average Contribution
          Percentage test, or both, pursuant to regulations under the Code.

13.13     "DISTRIBUTION REQUIREMENTS"
          Elective Deferrals, Qualified Nonelective Contributions, and
          Qualified Matching Contributions, and income allocable to each are
          not distributable to a participant or his or her beneficiary or
          beneficiaries, in accordance with such participant's or beneficiary
          or beneficiaries election, earlier than upon separation from service,
          death, or disability.

          Such amounts may also be distributed upon:

          1.          Termination of the plan without the establishment of
                      another defined contribution plan.

          2.          The disposition by a corporation to an unrelated
                      corporation of substantially all of the assets (within
                      the meaning of Section 409(d)(2) of the Code) used in a 
                      trade or business of such corporation if such corporation
                      continues to maintain this plan after the disposition,
                      but only with respect to employees who continue
                      employment with the corporation acquiring such assets.

          3.          The disposition by a corporation to an unrelated entity
                      of such corporation's interest in a subsidiary (within
                      the meaning of Section 409(d)(3) of the Code) if such
                      corporation continues to maintain this plan, but only
                      with respect to employees who continue employment with
                      such subsidiary.

          4.          The attainment of age 59-1/2.

                      All distributions that may be made pursuant to one or
                      more of the foregoing distributable events are subject to
                      the spousal and participant consent requirements (if
                      applicable) contained in Sections 401(a)(11) and 417 of 
                      the Code.

                             AMENDATORY AGREEMENT
       Adoption of 401(a)(31) Model Amendment (Revenue Procedure 93-12)


Kemper Growth Fund, as Prototype Plan Sponsor ("Sponsor"), makes this
Amendatory Agreement to the Kemper Retirement Plan Prototype.

                                  WITNESSETH

        WHEREAS, it is necessary to amend the Prototype Plan basic plan
document to provide plan participants with the option of electing a direct
transfer of any eligible rollover distribution to an eligible retirement plan;
and 

        WHEREAS, the Prototype Plan gives the Sponsor authority, without the
approval of any adopting employer, to make amendments necessary to conform the
Prototype Plan to any requirement for qualification under the Internal Revenue
Code.

        NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises, the Sponsor as
designated agent for all sponsoring organizations for purposes of making plan
amendments hereby amends the Prototype Plan to include the following amendment,
as an appendix to the basic plan document.  This amendment, which is identical
to the model language in the Appendix of Revenue Procedure 93-12, applies to
any plan maintained by an employer under the Prototype Plan.

                       APPENDIX TO BASIC PLAN DOCUMENT


ARTICLE VI

6.02(C). THIS ARTICLE APPLIES TO DISTRIBUTIONS MADE ON OR AFTER JANUARY 1,
1993.

        Notwithstanding any provision of the plan to the contrary that would
otherwise limit a distributee's election under the Article, a Distributee may
elect, at the time and in the manner prescribed by the plan administrator, to
have any portion of an eligible rollover distribution paid directly to an
eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee in a direct rollover.

6.02(D). DEFINITIONS.

        (1)     ELIGIBLE ROLLOVER DISTRIBUTION:  An eligible rollover
distribution is any distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the
credit of the distributee, except that an eligible rollover distribution does
not include: any distribution that is on of a series of substantially equal
periodic payments (not less frequently than annually) make for the life (or
life expectancy) of the distributee or the joint lives (or joint life
expectancies) of the distributee and the distributee's designated beneficiary,
or for a specified period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent
such distribution is required under section 401(a)(9) of the Code; and the
portion of any distribution that is not includible in gross income (determined
without regard to the exclusion for net unrealized appreciation with respect to
employer securities).

        (2)     ELIGIBLE RETIREMENT PLAN: An eligible retirement plan is an
individual retirement account described in section 408(a) of the Code, an
individual retirement annuity described in section 408(b) of the Code, an
annuity plan described in section 403(a) of the Code, or a qualified trust
described in section 401(a) of the Code, that accepts the distributee's
eligible rollover distribution.  However, in the case of an eligible rollover
distribution to the surviving spouse, an eligible retirement plan is an
individual retirement account or individual retirement annuity.

        (3)     DISTRIBUTEE:  A distributee includes an employee or former
employee.  In addition, the employee's or former employee's surviving spouse
and the employee's or former employee's spouse or former spouse who is the
alternate payee under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in
section 414(p) of the Code, are distributees with regard to the interest of the
spouse or former spouse.

        (4)     DIRECT ROLLOVER:  A direct rollover is a payment by the plan to
the eligible retirement plan specified by the distributee.

With respect to each adopting employer's plan maintained under this Prototype
Plan, this amendment is effective as of January 1, 1993.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Sponsor has executed this Amendatory Agreement on the
20th day of January, 1993.

                               APPENDIX ARTICLE B

RESOLVED, that Kemper Growth Fund ("Sponsor"), in its capacity as a prototype
sponsoring organization under IRS Revenue Procedure 89-9, amend the Prototype
Plan basic plan document by adopting Appendix Article B, a copy of which is
attached to this resolution. The amendment will be effective for all adopting
employers of the Prototype Plan for plan years beginning after December 31,
1993.

Adopted this seventeenth day of February, 1994.

                                 Kemper Financial Services, Inc.

                                   ARTICLE B
                        APPENDIX TO BASIC PLAN DOCUMENT

          This Article is necessary to comply with the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA '93) and is an integral part of the basic plan
document. Section 11.07 applies to any modification or amendment of this
Article.

          In addition to other applicable limitations set forth in the plan,
and notwithstanding any other provision of the plan to the contrary, for plan
years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the annual compensation of each
employee taken into account under the plan shall not exceed the OBRA '93 annual
compensation limit. The OBRA '93 annual compensation limit is $150,000, as
adjusted by the Commissioner for increases in the cost of living in accordance
with Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Internal Revenue Code. The cost-of-living
adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to any period, not exceeding
12 months, over which compensation is determined (determination period)
beginning in such calendar year. If a determination period consists of fewer
than 12 months, the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit will be multiplied by a
fraction, the numerator of which is the number of months in the determination
period, and the denominator of which is 12.

          For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, any reference
in this plan to the limitation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code shall mean
the OBRA '93 annual compensation limit set forth in this provision.

          If compensation for any prior determination period is taken into
account in determining an employee's benefits accruing in the current plan
year, the compensation for that prior determination period is subject to the
OBRA '93 annual compensation limit in effect for that prior determination
period. For this purpose, for determination periods beginning before the first
day of the first plan year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the OBRA '93
annual compensation limit is $150,000.

</TABLE>

The Grantor whose name appears above is establishing an Individual Retirement
Account under section 408(a) to provide for his or her retirement and for the
support of his or her beneficiaries after death.  The Trustee named above has
given the Grantor the disclosure statement required under Regulations section
1.406-6. The Grantor has assigned the trust __________ dollars ($_______) in
cash. The Grantor and the Trustee made the following agreement:

ARTICLE I
The Trustee may accept additional cash contributions on behalf of the Grantor
for a tax year of the Grantor. The total cash contributions are limited to
$2,000 for the tax year unless the contribution is a rollover described in
section 402(c) (but only after December 31, 1992), 403(a)(4), 403(b)(8),
408(d)(3), or an employer contribution to a simplified employee pension plan as
described in section 408(1). Rollover contributions before January 1, 1993,
include rollovers described in section 402(a)(5), 402(a)(7), 403(a)(4),
403(b)(8), 408(d)(3) or an employer contribution to a simplified employee
pension plan described in section 408(k).

ARTICLE II
The Grantor's interest in the balance in the trust account is nonforfeitable.

ARTICLE III
1. No part of the trust funds may be invested in life insurance contracts, nor
may the assets of the trust account be commingled with other property except in
a common trust fund or common investment fund (within the meaning of section
408(a)(5).

2. No part of the trust funds may be invested in collectibles (within the
meaning of section 408(m).

ARTICLE IV
1. Notwithstanding any provision of this agreement to the contrary, the
distribution of the Grantor's interest in the trust account shall be made in
accordance with the following requirements and shall otherwise comply with
section 408(a)(6) and Proposed Regulations section 1.408-8, including the
incidental death benefit provisions of Proposed Regulations section 
1. 401(a)(9)-2, the provisions of which are herein incorporated by reference.

2. Unless otherwise elected by the time distributions are required to begin to
the Grantor under paragraph 3, or to the surviving spouse under paragraph 4,
other than in the case of a life annuity, life expectancies shall be
recalculated annually. Such election shall be irrevocable as to the Grantor and
the surviving spouse and shall apply to all subsequent years. The life
expectancy of a nonspouse beneficiary may not be recalculated.

3. The Grantor's entire interest in the trust account must be, or begin to be,
distributed by the Grantor's required beginning date, April 1 following the
calendar year end in which the Grantor reaches age 70 1/2.  By that date, the
Grantor may elect, in a manner acceptable to the trustee, to have the balance
in the trust account distributed in:

(A) A single sum payment.

(B) An annuity contract that provides equal or substantially equal monthly,
quarterly, or annual payments over the life of the grantor.

(C) An annuity contract that provides equal or substantially equal monthly,
quarterly, or annual payments over the joint and last survivor lives of the
Grantor and his or her designated beneficiary.

(D) Equal or substantially equal annual payments over a specified period that
may not be longer than the Grantor's life expectancy.

(E) Equal or substantially equal payments over a specified period that may not
be longer than the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Grantor and
his or her designated beneficiary.

4. If the Grantor dies before his or her entire interest is distributed to him
or her, the entire remaining interest will be distributed as follows:

(A) If the Grantor dies on or after distribution of his or her interest has
begun, distribution must continue to be made in accordance with paragraph 3.

(B) If the Grantor dies before distribution of his or her interest has begun,
the entire remaining interest will, at the election of the Grantor or, if the
Grantor has not so elected, at the election of the beneficiary or
beneficiaries, either

(I) Be distributed by the December 31 of the year containing the fifth
anniversary of the Grantor's death, or

(II) Be distributed in equal or substantially equal payments over the life or
life expectancy of the designated beneficiary or beneficiaries starting by
December 31 of the year following the year of the Grantor's death. If, however,
the beneficiary is the Grantor's surviving spouse, then this distribution is
not required to begin before December 31 of the year in which the Grantor would
have turned age 70 1/2.

(C) Except where distribution in the form of an annuity meeting the
requirements of section 408(b)(3) and its related regulations has irrevocably
commenced, distributions are treated as having begun on the Grantor's required
beginning date, even though payments may actually have been made before that
date.

(D) If the Grantor dies before his or her entire interest has been distributed
and if the beneficiary is other than the surviving spouse, no additional cash
contributions or rollover contributions may be accepted in the account.

5. In the case of a distribution over life expectancy in equal or substantially
equal annual payments, to determine the minimum annual payment for each year,
divide the Grantor's entire interest in the trust as of the close of business
on December 31 of the preceding year by the life expectancy of the Grantor (or
the joint life and last survivor expectancy of the Grantor and the Grantor's
designated beneficiary, or the life expectancy of the designated beneficiary,
whichever applies). In the case of distributions under paragraph 3, determine
the initial life expectancy (or joint life and last survivor expectancy) using
the attained ages of the Grantor and designated beneficiary as of their
birthdays in the year the Grantor reaches age 70 1/2. In the case of a
distribution in accordance with paragraph 4(b)(ii), determine life expectancy
using the attained age of the designated beneficiary as of the beneficiary's
birthday in the year distributions are required to commence.

6. The owner of two or more individual retirement accounts may use the
"alternative method" described in Notice 88-38, 1988-1 C.B. 524, to satisfy the
minimum distribution requirements described above. This method permits an
individual to satisfy these requirements by taking from one individual
retirement account the amount required to satisfy the requirement for another.

INDIVIDUAL RETIREMENT TRUST ACCOUNT FORM    (CONTINUED)

ARTICLE V
1. The Grantor agrees to provide the Trustee with information necessary for the
Trustee to prepare any reports required under section 408(i) and Regulations

2. The Trustee agrees to submit reports to the Internal Revenue Service and the
Grantor as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service.

Notwithstanding any other articles which may be added or incorporated, the
provisions of Articles I through III and this sentence will be controlling. Any
additional articles that are not consistent with section 408(a) and related
regulations will be invalid.

ARTICLE VII
This agreement will be amended from time to time to comply with the provisions
of the Code and related regulations. Other amendments may be made with the
consent of the persons whose signature appear below.

ARTICLE VIII
1. DEFINITIONS: "Designated Investment Company" shall mean any Kemper Mutual
Fund, or any other registered investment company with the same investment
advisor or principal underwriter, if certified to the Trustee as being
available for investment pursuant to this trust.

2. INVESTMENT OF ACCOUNT ASSETS: The amount of each contribution shall be
applied to the purchase of shares of a Designated Investment Company at the
price and in the manner in which such shares are then being publicly offered by
such investment company. All dividends and capital gain distributions received
on the shares of a Designated Investment Company other than Kemper Bond
Enhanced Securities Trust shall be reinvested in such shares. Any distributions
from the Kemper Bond Enhanced Securities Trust shall be invested in one of the
other Designated Investment Companies set forth in the prospectus and selected
by the Grantor, or in the absence of a selection will be invested in the Kemper
Money Market Fund-Government Securities Portfolio.

3. DISTRIBUTIONS: Notwithstanding the provisions of Article IV, if the Grantor
or a beneficiary does not choose a method of distribution in accordance with
Article IV, the Trustee is authorized, but is not required, to elect a
distribution option other than a single sum payment, to make distributions
pursuant to such election in kind, and to liquidate sufficient shares of a
Designated Investment Company to withhold federal income tax from distributions
as required by law. Further, the Trustee shall not be responsible for any
distribution or failure to distribute in the absence of written instructions
acceptable to the Trustee from the Trustee from the Grantor or beneficiary in
accordance with Article IV including, but not limited to, any tax or penalty
resulting from such distribution or failure to distribute.

4. AMENDMENT AND TERMINATION: The Grantor may, at any time, and from time to
time, terminate the Trust in whole or in part by delivering to the Trustee a
signed written copy of such termination and the Grantor delegated to the
Trustee the right to amend the Trust (including retroactive amendments) by
written notice to the Grantor mailed to his last address known to the Trustee,
and the Grantor shall be deemed to have consented to any such amendment,
provided that no amendment shall cause or permit any part of the asset of the
Trust Account to be diverted to purposes other than for the exclusive benefit
of the Grantor or beneficiaries, and no amendment shall be made except in
accordance with any applicable laws and regulations affecting this Trust.

5. RESIGNATION OR REMOVAL OF TRUSTEE: The Trustee may resign at any time upon
thirty (30) days of notice in writing to the Grantor, and may be removed by the
Grantor at any time upon thirty (30) days notice in writing to the Trustee.
Upon such resignation or removal, the Grantor shall appoint a successor
Trustee, which successor shall be a "bank" as defined in section 408(n). Upon
receipt by the Trustee of written acceptance of such appointment by the
successor Trustee, the Trustee shall transfer and pay over to such successor
the assets of the Trust Account and all records pertaining thereto. The Trustee
is authorized, however, to reserve such sum of money as it may deem advisable
for payment of all its fees, compensation, costs and expenses, or for payment
of any other liability constituting a charge on or against the assets of the
Trust Account or on or against the Trustee, which any balance of such reserve
remaining after the payment of such items to be paid over to the successor
Trustee. The successor Trustee shall hold the assets paid over to it under
terms similar to those of this Agreement that qualify under the provisions of
the Internal Revenue Code. If within thirty (30) days after the Trustee's
resignation or removal the Grantor has not appointed a successor trustee, which
has accepted with appointment, the Trustee shall appoint such successor itself.

6. TRUSTEE'S ANNUAL FEES: The Grantor shall be charged by the Trustee for its
services here-under in such amount as the Trustee shall establish from time to
time. Sufficient shares may be liquidated from the Trust Account to pay the
fee. The annual fee in effect on the date of this agreement is set forth in the
Application Guide. A different fee may be substituted at any time upon written
notice to the Grantor. A Grantor who does not consent to such new fee should
terminate this agreement pursuant to Paragraph 4 of Article IX within 30 days
of the notice to the new fee. If no such termination is made within 30 days of
the notice of the new fee, the Grantor will be deemed to have consented to the
new fee.

7. STATE LAW REQUIREMENTS: This Trust shall be construed, administered and
enforced according to the laws of the State of Missouri.

8. EXCESS CONTRIBUTIONS: If, because of an erroneous assumption as to earned
income for any other reason, a contribution which is an excess contribution is
made on behalf the Grantor for any year, adjustment of such excess contribution
shall be in accordance with the provisions of this paragraph. The full amount
of such excess contribution and net income attributable thereto shall be
distributed to the Grantor, in cash or kind upon written notice to the Trustee
from the Grantor which states the amount of such excess contribution.

9. INALIENABILITY OF BENEFITS: The benefits provided hereunder shall not be
subject to alienation, assignment, garnishment, attachment, execution or levy
of any kind, and any attempt to cause such benefits to be subjected shall not
be recognized, except to such extent as may be required by law.

10. EXCHANGE PRIVILEGE: With respect to any of the Designated Investment
Company shares, the Grantor may, upon submission of written instructions
acceptable to the Trustee, cause such shares to be exchanged for shares of any
other Designated Investment Company meeting the requirements of this Trust upon
the terms and within the limitations imposed by the then current prospectus of
such investment company.

11. DESIGNATION OF BENEFICIARY: The Grantor shall have the right, by written
notice to the Trustee, to designate or change a beneficiary to receive any
benefit to which such Grantor may be entitled in the event of the Grantor's
death prior to the complete distribution of such benefit. If no such designation
is in effect on a Grantor's death, the beneficiary shall be the Grantor's
estate.

foregoing, neither the Trustee nor the Designated Investment Company is
obligated to make any distribution absent a specific direction from the Grantor
or the designated beneficiary to do so.

IRA DISCLOSURE STATEMENT   IMPORTANT--PLEASE RETAIN

IRAs: AN INTRODUCTION
WHAT IS AN IRA?
Your Individual Retirement Account (IRA) is a trust created for the exclusive
benefit of you and your beneficiaries. It is created by a written instrument
that meets the following requirements:

- - Contribution restrictions stated in Article I of the trust instrument.
- - Investment restrictions stated in Article III of the trust instrument.
- - Distribution of benefits requirements contained in Article IV of the trust
  instrument.
- - The trustee is a bank as defined in the Internal Revenue Code.
- - You will have a non-forfeitable interest in your account.

ESTABLISHING THE PLAN
HOW DO I ESTABLISH MY KEMPER IRA?
Read this disclosure statement and retain it for your files.

Complete and sign the correct application. (2 applications are necessary if
both you and your spouse wish to establish an IRA).

MAKE CHECK PAYABLE TO THE KEMPER FUND OF YOUR CHOICE, AND MAIL COMPLETED
APPLICATION AND CONTRIBUTION TO: 

INVESTORS FIDUCIARY TRUST COMPANY (IFTC) 
P.O. BOX 419356 
KANSAS CITY, MO 64141-6356

MAY I REVOKE MY IRA?
You have the right to revoke your account within seven days of the date on
which your application was signed. To revoke your account write to IFTC at the
address referenced above.

ELIGIBILITY
WHO CAN ADOPT AN IRA?
You may adopt an IRA if you are receiving compensation from employment,
earnings from self-employment or alimony, and have not attained age 70 1/2. You
may also adopt an IRA if you have received a qualifying rollover distribution
from another plan within the preceding 60 days or if you wish to transfer
assets from another IRA.  See "Rollover/Transfer of Assets" section on the
following page.

WHAT ABOUT A NON-WORKING SPOUSE?
A spousal IRA allows an individual who qualifies for an IRA and his or her
non-working spouse to set up two IRA accounts: one for each spouse.  See
"Contribution Limits" section below.

CONTRIBUTION LIMITS
HOW MUCH CAN I CONTRIBUTE EACH YEAR?
If you are receiving compensation you may contribute the lesser of $2,000 or
100% of your compensation.

For a year in which you are receiving compensation, but your spouse is not, you
can set up an IRA for your spouse and contribute the lesser of: $2,250 or 100%
of your compensation.  The maximum contribution must be split between the two
accounts so that no more than $2,000 is placed in either account.

No contribution will be allowed for the year in which you attain age 70 1/2 and
thereafter.

FOR MY IRA, WHAT IS CONSIDERED COMPENSATION?
Compensation is defined as wages, salaries or professional fees, other amounts
received for personal services actually rendered (including income earned from
self-employment), and any taxable alimony received. It does not include earnings
from property such as interest, rents and dividends. If your compensation is
not includable in gross income (such as income earned from sources outside the
United States, it is not treated as compensation in determining the maximum
limitation for the deduction.

WHEN CAN A CONTRIBUTION BE MADE?
Your annual contribution may be made during the taxable year or no later than
the due date for filing your federal income tax return not including extensions.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I OVER-CONTRIBUTE TO MY IRA?
There is a 6% annual excise tax on contributions to an IRA over the annual
contributions limit. However, if you withdraw the excess contribution and
earnings thereon from the IRA before the due date for filing your federal
income tax return (including extensions) for the year of the excess
contribution, the excise tax is not imposed, the withdrawn contribution is not
taxable and the withdrawn earnings are taxable in the year the excess
contribution was made.

If the excess is not withdrawn, you may use the excess as part of next year's
contribution by reducing the next year's contribution by the amount of the
excess. You will, however, be liable for the 6% excise tax on the
over-contributed amount for each year it remains an excess contribution.

HOW DOES MY MARITAL STATUS AFFECT MY IRA? 
Since a contribution is available to each eligible individual, both husband
and wife can contribute if each individually is eligible and each adopts a
separate individual retirement savings program.  The contribution limitation is
computed separately for each spouse, whether or not they file a joint tax
return.

CAN MY EMPLOYER CONTRIBUTE TO MY IRA?
Yes, but these contributions are included in your gross income as compensation
and must be claimed as a deduction on your federal income tax return, just as
if you had received the money and made the contribution.

DEDUCTION LIMITS
HOW MUCH CAN I DEDUCT EACH YEAR? 
If you and your spouse are not covered by a retirement plan at work, the
amount you can deduct is the same as the amount you can contribute (see
"Contribution Limit" above). If you or your spouse are covered by a retirement
plan at work, the $2,000 limit is reduced $10 for each $50 that your adjusted
gross income exceeds:

$40,000 (married filing jointly), $25,000 (single), or $0 (married filing
separately), and the $2,250 limit is reduced $10 for each $44.44 that your
adjusted gross income exceeds $40,000.

DISTRIBUTION FROM YOUR IRA
WHEN CAN I TAKE MONEY OUT OF MY IRA?
You can begin to take money out of your IRA without penalty after age 59 1/2,
but you must begin to take money out by April 1 following the year in which you
attain age 70-1/2.

WHAT IF I TAKE A DISTRIBUTION BEFORE AGE 59 1/2?
There is an additional tax equal to 10% of the taxable amount of a distribution
before age 59 1/2, unless you are disabled or take your distributions as a
series of substantially equal periodic payments over your life or life
expectancy or the joint lives or life expectancies of you and your beneficiary.
The amounts of such periodic payments may not be changed before the later of
five years or at attainment of age 59 1/2.

HOW ARE MY DISTRIBUTIONS TAXED?
The distributions are generally taxed as ordinary income in the year they are
received.  Distributions are non-taxable to the extent they represent a return
of non-deductible contributions. 

The non-taxable percentage of such a distribution is determined by dividing
the undistributed non-deductible contributions to all your IRAs by the total
value of all your IRAs (including SEPs and rollover IRAs).

DO I HAVE A CHOICE ON HOW TO RECEIVE MY DISTRIBUTIONS UPON RETIREMENT?
Yes, subject to the minimum distribution incidental benefit (MDIB) requirement
described below, distributions may be taken as:

- - Regular payments over the joint lives or life expectancies of you and your
  designated beneficiary.

- - An annuity purchased with the money in your IRA payable over the joint lives
  or life expectancies of you and your beneficiary.

- - Annuity or regular payments over any period shorter than the above.

- - A lump sum.

WHAT IS THE MINIMUM ANNUAL DISTRIBUTION?
The amount to be distributed for each year (commencing with the year in which
you attain age 70 1/2) must be at least an amount equal to the quotient
obtained by dividing the value of the IRA by your life expectancy or by the
joint and last survivor life expectancy of you and your designated beneficiary,
subject to the MDIB requirement described on the next page. The minimum
distribution for the year in which you attain age 70 1/2 may be deferred until
April 1 of the following year. Note that if you elect to defer the minimum
distribution for the year you attain age 70 1/2 to the following year, you will
be required to take 2 years' minimum distributions in that year. Life expectancy
and joint and last survivor expectancy are computed by use of the tables
contained in IRS Publication 590. For purposes of this computation, the life
expectancy of you or your spouse may be recalculated annually, while the life
expectancy of a nonspouse beneficiary may not be recalculated.
<PAGE>   4

IRA DISCLOSURE STATEMENT  (CONTINUED)


WHAT IS THE MINIMUM DISTRIBUTION INCIDENTAL BENEFIT (MDIB) REQUIREMENT?
The MDIB Requirement requires that a death benefit under an IRA be incidental
to the primary purpose of the IRA which is to provide your retirement benefits.
Thus, if your designated beneficiary is more than 10 years younger, you must
assume he or she is exactly 10 years younger than you to determine your joint
and last survivor life expectancy.

WHAT IF I HAVE MORE THAN ONE IRA?
If you have more than one IRA, you may take the total amount of your minimum
distribution amounts from one IRA or you may allocate it among your IRAs.

WHAT IF I TAKE AN AMOUNT LESS THAN DESCRIBED ABOVE?
A 50% excise tax will be imposed on the difference between the minimum payout
required and the amount actually paid, unless the underdistribution was due to
reasonable cause.

WHAT ABOUT FEDERAL INCOME TAX WITHHOLDING?
The Trustee may be required to withhold 10% from any taxable distribution from
an IRA unless you elect no withholding at the time your distributions begin.
Whether or not you allow the Trustee to withhold, you may be required to make
quarterly estimated tax payments.

SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
CAN I USE MY IRA AS COLLATERAL FOR A LOAN?
No. If you use any portion of your IRA as security for a loan the portion so
used will be treated as distributed to you.

HAS THIS PLAN BEEN SUBMITTED TO THE IRS FOR APPROVAL?
The use of IRS Form 5305 (included in this packet) makes such submission
unnecessary.

ROLLOVER/TRANSFER OF ASSETS DO DISTRIBUTIONS FROM MY EMPLOYER'S TAX-QUALIFIED
PLAN QUALIFY FOR IRA ROLLOVER TREATMENT?  
Yes, part or all of a lump-sum distribution or a series of distributions if 
made during one calendar year as the result of termination of employment, 
attainment of age 59 1/2, disability, death, or plan termination may be rolled 
over into an IRA.

You do not have to roll over the total taxable amount of the distribution, but
whatever portion is not rolled over will be taxed as ordinary income in the
year received and will not qualify for either long-term capital gains or
special averaging. The maximum amount that can be rolled over is the total
distribution minus the dollar amount of any voluntary non-deductible
contributions you made.

Please consult your accountant regarding current IRS regulations on the tax
treatment of rollovers from tax-qualified plans.

WHEN MUST THE ROLLOVER BE COMPLETED?
The check and application must be sent to the IRA trustee within 60 days of
receipt of a qualifying distribution.

CAN I TAKE A TAX DEDUCTION FOR A ROLLOVER?
No.  You are not allowed to take a tax deduction for the amount transferred
from a qualified employer's plan or retirement savings program to an IRA.

WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN A ROLLOVER AND A DIRECT TRANSFER OF ASSETS?
With a rollover, you actually receive the distribution from an IRA or qualified
employer's plan. A direct transfer of assets occurs when the existing trustee or
custodian makes the check payable and sends the distribution directly to the
new trustee or custodian.

A rollover distribution from an IRA may be made to you only once a year.  The
one year period begins on the date you receive the IRA distribution. There is
no minimum holding period for a direct transfer of assets from one trustee to
another.

WHAT STEPS DO I NEED TO TAKE TO PROCESS A ROLLOVER OR DIRECT TRANSFER OF
ASSETS?
You can do a rollover by notifying your current IRA trustee or custodian in
writing that you wish to take a distribution from your IRA and roll over to a
new IRA. Once the distribution is received you may either endorse the check over
to the new trustee or deposit the check received and issue a new check for the
amount received to the new trustee and send it along with an IRA Application to
the new trustee.

To accomplish a direct transfer of assets, you simply notify your existing
trustee in writing of your intentions. Then send a copy of the letter along
with an IRA application to the new trustee. Your old trustee will send your
distribution directly to the new trustee.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS
DOES THE IRA REQUIRE A LOT OF PAPERWORK EACH YEAR?
No, unless you have to pay an excise or penalty tax or you received a
nontaxable distribution or you made a nondeductible contribution (other than a
rollover), no special income tax return is required. If an excise or penalty tax
is due you must file IRS Form 5329 with your Form 1040. If you designate an IRA
contribution as nondeductible you must attach Form 8606 to your 1040 for the
year of the nondeductible contribution and for any year you take a
non-deductible distribution (other than a rollover to another IRA).

SIMPLIFIED EMPLOYEE PENSION PLAN (SEP)
DOES THE KEMPER IRA QUALIFY FOR A SEP?
Yes, but the SEP must be established and maintained by your employer. More
information about establishing a SEP is available from Kemper upon request.

WHAT IS THE MAXIMUM DEDUCTION FOR A SEP-IRA?
The lesser of 15% of your compensation with respect to the sponsoring employer
or $30,000.

IRA APPLICATION GUIDE

1. INFORMATION ABOUT YOU

Fill this section out completely.

2. YOUR BENEFICIARIES

You can change your beneficiaries by writing a letter of instruction to
Investors Fiduciary Trust Company, c/o Kemper Service Company, P.O. Box 419415,
Kansas City, MO 64141-6415. Reference your name, fund, and fund account number.
If you have more than one beneficiary, please identify the primary and
secondary beneficiary.

3. TYPE OF IRA

INDIVIDUAL: A working individual may contribute up to $2,000 or 100% of
compensation, whichever is less.     

SIMPLIFIED EMPLOYEE PLAN (SEP): Must be established and maintained by the 
employer.  The maximum contribution is the lesser of 15% of your compensation
or $30,000.  For more information on establishing a SEP, call Kemper 
Shareholder Services at 1-800-621-1048.

SPOUSAL:  Two applications are necessary if both you and your spouse wish to
establish an IRA.  If you're contributing for both you and your non-working
spouse, the maximum contribution is the lesser of 100% of your compensation or
$2,250.  The maximum contribution must be split between the two accounts so that
no more than $2,000 is placed in either account.

4. TYPE OF TRANSACTION

DIRECT TRANSFER OF ASSETS: When changing custodians on an existing IRA, the IRA
must be released by the present custodian. To obtain information concerning the
transfer of IRA assets call Kemper Shareholder Services at 1-800-621-1048.

ROLLOVER: With a rollover, you actually receive a distribution from an IRA, or
qualified employer's plan. Once the distribution is received, you may either    
endorse the check over to the new trustee or deposit the check received and,
within 60 days of receipt, issue a new check for the amount received to the new
trustee and send it along with an IRA Application to the new trustee.

You may roll over your IRA as many times as you wish. However, each time you do
roll over, the funds must remain with the new trustee for at least 12 months.
(PLEASE NOTE: CONTACT YOUR ACCOUNTANT ABOUT THE TAX CONSEQUENCES OF RECEIVING 
A CASH DISTRIBUTION FROM YOUR EMPLOYER'S TAX-QUALIFIED PLAN BEFORE
FORWARDING A CHECK TO KEMPER TO OPEN AN IRA. UNDER CURRENT IRS PROVISIONS, THERE
MAY BE TAX LIABILITY ASSOCIATED WITH TAKING PHYSICAL POSSESSION OF YOUR
DISTRIBUTION, INSTEAD OF AUTOMATICALLY TRANSFERRING YOUR BALANCE INTO A KEMPER
IRA).

5. YOUR INVESTMENT CHOICES

Elect your investment choice(s) from among the Kemper Funds for which you have
received a prospectus. The minimum investment to establish an IRA is $250 per
Fund; the minimum subsequent investment is $50. The minimum initial investment
is $50 per Fund if the Bank Direct Deposit option is selected.

TRUSTEE FEE 
There is an annual $12 trustee fee for the Kemper Family of Funds.
An individual holding two or more accounts in Kemper Family of Funds will be
charged a maximum of $24. The fees may be paid either by separate check or will
be automatically deducted from your account by Investors Fiduciary Trust
Company. This fee is subject to change as provided in Article IX of the 
Individual Retirement Trust Account Form.

WHEN AND HOW THE $12 FEE IS AUTOMATICALLY DEDUCTED 
If the $12 annual trustee fee is not paid by separate check, Investors 
Fiduciary Trust Company will automatically deduct the $12 fee from your 
account. Annual trustee fees are assessed on a calendar year basis.

If you opened your account prior to May 1st of the calendar year, the fee will
be deducted on May 1st. If you opened your account after May 1st of that
calendar year, the $12 fee will be deducted on December 1st. In every calendar
year after the year in which you opened your account, the fee will be deducted
on May 1st.


WHAT TO DO IF YOU ELECT TO PAY THE $12 ANNUAL FEE DIRECTLY
- - You may pay the first year fee by including $12 with your first contribution
and making the proper entry in Section 5 of the IRA Application.

- - If you elect to send in the $12 annual fee by separate check in subsequent
years, make sure to do so prior to the May 1st automatic deduction. Send a
letter referencing the exact name on your account, the fund name and the
account number. Make your check payable to Investors Fiduciary Trust Company
and mail to Investors Fiduciary Trust Company, c/o Kemper Service Company, P.O.
Box 419356, Kansas City, MO 64141-6356.




6. TELEPHONE EXCHANGES

To make exchanges, call 1-800-621-1048. Please see the prospectus for exchange
privilege limitations. The exchange privilege may be modified, suspended or
terminated by a Fund.

7. BANK DIRECT DEPOSIT

With Bank Direct Deposit, you can make automatic contributions for as little as
$50 from your checking account into your Kemper IRA. There is no service
charge, no checks to write and it's a great way to invest for the future.

                                                             EX-99.B18

                       KEMPER MUTUAL FUNDS
                  MULTI-DISTRIBUTION SYSTEM PLAN


     WHEREAS, each investment company adopting this
Multi-Distribution System Plan (each a "Fund" and collectively
the "Funds") is an open-end management investment company
registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "1940
Act");

     WHEREAS, Kemper Financial Services, Inc. ("KFS") and/or
Dreman Value Advisors, Inc. ("DVA") serves as investment adviser
and Kemper Distributors, Inc. ("KDI") serves as principal
underwriter for each Fund;

     WHEREAS, each Fund has a non-Rule 12b-1 administrative
services agreement with KDI providing for a service fee at an
annual rate of up to .25% of average daily net assets
("Administrative Plan");

     WHEREAS, each Fund has established a Multi-Distribution
System enabling each Fund, as reflected in its prospectus, to
offer investors the option of purchasing shares (a) with a
front-end sales load (which may vary among Funds) and a service
fee (the "Front-End Load Option" or "Class A shares");
(b) without a front-end sales load, but subject to a Contingent
Deferred Sales Charge ("CDSC") (which may vary among Funds), a
Rule 12b-1 plan providing for a distribution fee and a service
fee (the "Deferred Option" or "Class B shares"); (c) without a
front-end sales load or CDSC but subject to a Rule 12b-1 Plan
providing for a distribution fee and to a service fee (the "Level
Load Option" or "Class C shares"); and (d) for certain Funds,
without a front-end load, CDSC, distribution fee or service fee
("Institutional Option" or "Class I shares"); and

     WHEREAS, Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act permits open-end
management investment companies to issue multiple classes of
voting stock representing interests in the same portfolio
notwithstanding Sections 18(f)(1) and 18(i) under the 1940 Act
if, among other things, such investment companies adopt a written
plan setting forth the separate arrangement and expense
allocation of each class and any related conversion features or
exchange privileges;

     NOW, THEREFORE, each Fund, wishing to be governed by Rule
18f-3 under the 1940 Act, hereby adopts this Multi-Distribution
System Plan as follows:  
<PAGE>   2

     1.   Each class of shares will represent interests in the
same portfolio of investments of a Fund (or series), and be
identical in all respects to each other class, except as set
forth below.  The only differences among the various classes of
shares of the same Fund (or series) will relate solely to:
(a) different distribution fee payments associated with any Rule
12b-1 Plan for a particular class of shares and any other costs
relating to implementing or amending such Plan (including
obtaining shareholder approval of such Plan or any amendment
thereto), which will be borne solely by shareholders of such
classes; (b) different service fees; (c) different shareholder
servicing fees; (d) different Class Expenses, which will be
limited to the following expenses determined by the Trustees to
be attributable to a specific class of shares:  (i) printing and
postage expenses related to preparing and distributing materials
such as shareholder reports, prospectuses, and proxy statements
to current shareholders of a specific class; (ii) Securities and
Exchange Commission (the "Commission") registration fees incurred
by a specific class; (iii) litigation or other legal expenses
relating to a specific class; (iv) Trustee fees or expenses
incurred as a result of issues relating to a specific class; and
(v) accounting expenses relating to a specific class; (e) the
voting rights related to any 12b-1 Plan affecting a specific
class of shares; (f) conversion features; (g) exchange
privileges; and (h) class names or designations.  Any additional
incremental expenses not specifically identified above that are
subsequently identified and determined to be properly applied to
one class of shares of a Fund (or series) shall be so applied
upon approval by a majority of the Trustees of such Fund,
including a majority of the Trustees who are not interested
persons of the Fund.

     2.   Under the Multi-Distribution System, certain expenses
may be attributable to a Fund, but not to a particular series or
class thereof.  All such expenses will be borne by each class on
the basis of the relative aggregate net assets of the classes,
except in the case of a Fund that has series, in which case they
will first be allocated among series, based upon the relative
aggregate net assets of such series.  Expenses that are
attributable to a particular series, but not to a particular
class thereof, will be borne by each class of such series on the
basis of the relative aggregate net assets of the classes.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the underwriter, the investment
manager or other provider of services to any Fund may waive or
reimburse the expenses of a specific class or classes to the
extent permitted under Rule 18f-3 under the 1940 Act.

     A class of shares may be permitted to bear expenses that are
directly attributable to such class including: (a) any
distribution fees associated with any Rule 12b-1 Plan for a
particular class and any other costs relating to implementing or
amending such Plan (including obtaining shareholder approval of
such Plan or any amendment thereto); (b) any service fees
attributable to such class; (c) any shareholder servicing fees  
<PAGE>   3

attributable to such class; and (d) any Class Expenses determined
by the Trustees to be attributable to such class.

     3.   After a shareholder's Class B shares have been
outstanding for six years, they will automatically convert to
Class A shares of the same Fund (or series) at the relative net
asset values of the two classes and will thereafter not be
subject to a Rule 12b-1 Plan; provided, however, that any Class B
Shares issued in exchange for shares originally classified as
Initial Shares of Kemper Portfolios, formerly known as Kemper
Investment Portfolios (KP), whether in connection with a
reorganization with a series of KP or otherwise, shall convert to
Class A shares seven years after issuance of such Initial Shares
if such Initial Shares were issued prior to February 1, 1991.
Class B shares issued upon reinvestment of income and capital
gain dividends and other distributions will be converted to Class
A shares on a pro rata basis with the Class B shares.

     4.   Any conversion of shares of one class to shares of
another class is subject to the continuing availability of a
ruling of the Internal Revenue Service or an opinion of counsel
to the effect that the conversion of shares does not constitute a
taxable event under federal income tax law.  Any such conversion
may be suspended if such a ruling or opinion is no longer
available.

     5.   To the extent exchanges are permitted, shares of any
class of a Fund will be exchangeable with shares of the same
class of another Fund, or with money market fund shares as
described in the applicable prospectus.  Exchanges will comply
with all applicable provisions of Rule 11a-3 under the 1940 Act.
For purposes of calculating the time period remaining on the
conversion of Class B shares to Class A shares, Class B shares
received on exchange retain their original purchase date.

     6.   Dividends paid by a Fund (or series) as to each class
of its shares, to the extent any dividends are paid, will be
calculated in the same manner, at the same time, on the same day,
and will be in the same amount, except that any distribution
fees, service fees, shareholder servicing fees and Class Expenses
allocated to a class will be borne exclusively by that class.

     7.   Any distribution arrangement of a Fund, including
distribution fees and front-end and deferred sales loads, will
comply with Article III, Section 26, of the Rules of Fair
Practice of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.

     8.   All material amendments to this Plan for a Fund must be
approved by a majority of the members of the Fund's governing
board, including a majority of the board members who are not
interested persons of the Fund.  
<PAGE>   4

     Any open-end investment company may establish a
Multi-Distribution System and adopt this Multi-Distribution
System Plan by approval of a majority of the members of any such
company's governing board, including a majority of the board
members who are not interested persons of such company.
