IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR OPENING A NEW ACCOUNT

To help the government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, Federal law requires all financial institutions, including mutual funds, to obtain, verify and record the following information that identifies each person who opens an account: full name, date of birth, social security number and residential address. If any of the information is missing, we will be unable to establish an account and your application and check will be returned. If the Funds are unable to verify your identity from the information you provide, your account will be closed and the redemption proceeds will be paid to you. Please refer to the “Anti-Money Laundering Compliance” section of the prospectus for further information.

If no activity occurs in your account within the timeframe specified by applicable state law, your account may be transferred to the appropriate state. This is called escheatment.

Amount Converted

q All q Part (specify how much): $_______________

Under IRS rules, a conversion of a Traditional IRA or qualified plan benefit to a Roth IRA is treated for income tax purposes as a distribution of taxable amounts in the Traditional IRA. IRS rules also require the custodian to withhold 10% of the conversion amount for federal income taxes unless no withholding has been elected. See IRS Publication 505, “Tax Withholding and Estimated Tax” for more information. State tax withholding may also apply if federal income tax is withheld. Caution: Withholding income taxes from the amount converted

(instead of paying applicable income taxes from another source) may adversely impact the expected financial benefits of converting from a Traditional to a Roth IRA (consult your financial adviser if you have a question). Because of this impact, by electing to convert a Traditional IRA to a Roth IRA, you are deemed to elect no withholding unless you check the box below:

q Withhold 10% for federal income taxes (if you want a greater percentage withheld, write that percentage here – _____%). q Military death gratuity or payment

Rollover of military death gratuity or payment from service member’s Group Life Insurance Program received by reason of death of a military service member.

*Note: To facilitate proper recordkeeping and tax reporting for your Roth IRA, we require separate Roth IRA accounts to hold annual contributions and to hold conversion amounts. If you wish to make both annual contributions and conversion contributions by converting, transferring or rolling over an existing Traditional IRA, please complete different IRA Account Applications to set up separate Roth IRAs. If you are transferring or rolling over an existing Roth IRA, please set up separate Roth IRAs for a transfer or rollover of an annual contributions Roth IRA and a conversion Roth IRA. No amount may be rolled over or transferred from a Coverdell Education Savings Account, Archer Medical Savings Account or a Health Savings Account to a Roth IRA.

beneficiary designation

IMPORTANT: This Beneficiary Designation may have important tax or estate planning effects. If you cannot accomplish your estate planning objectives by using this form to designate your beneficiary(ies) (for example, if you have more than two primary or alternate beneficiaries or wish to provide that the surviving children of a beneficiary who predeceases you should take that beneficiary’s share by right of representation), you may submit another form of written beneficiary designation to the Custodian. You may also wish to designate a trust as your beneficiary, in which event you must provide the Custodian with certain information regarding the trust. Any amount remaining in the Account that is not disposed of by a proper Beneficiary Designation will be distributed to your estate (unless otherwise required by the laws of your state of residence). You may change the beneficiary(ies) named below at any time by filing a new Beneficiary Designation with the Custodian. Any subsequent Designation filed with the Custodian will revoke all prior Designations, even if the subsequent designation does not dispose of your entire Account. See your lawyer or other tax professional for additional information and advice. PRIMARY BENEFICIARY OR BENEFICIARIES: (If a beneficiary is a minor, provide the minor’s name, social security number, date of birth, residential street address and assign a custodian and provide custodian’s name, social security number, date of birth and residential street address. If the beneficiary is a trust, send copies of the first and last pages of the trust agreement with your application and provide the tax identification number or social security number of the trust, the date of the trust agreement and the full name, social security number, date of birth and residential address of each individual authorized to act on behalf of the trust.)

In the event of my death, pay any balance I may have in my Account to the following Primary Beneficiary or Beneficiaries who survive me. I revoke all prior IRA beneficiary designations, if any, made by me for these assets. Make payment in the proportions specified below (or in equal proportions if no different proportions are specified). Percentages or proportions for Beneficiaries must total 100%. If any Primary Beneficiary predeceases me, his share is to be divided among the Primary Beneficiaries who survive me in the relative proportions assigned to each such surviving Primary Beneficiary.
