Description
of Service
By
enrolling in this electronic delivery service, you agree to receive announcements
by e-mail about shareholder communications materials. Those materials are made
available electronically by issuing corporations, mutual funds and other third
parties. Quarterly, semi-annual and annual reports; proxy statements; prospectuses
and newsletters are examples of shareholder communications that may be made available
electronically. The announcements will include the Internet address (URL) where
the materials can be found. Materials referenced within the e-mail announcement
may be viewed electronically via the Internet and printed with a local printer.
If the materials are not made available electronically, you will receive the standard
printed materials and no announcement will be made by e-mail. Your
enrollment will be effective for all holdings in the specified account on an ongoing
basis unless you change or cancel your enrollment. If
you have a security position in an equity or mutual fund as of the record date
for a particular shareholder distribution and the materials to be distributed
are made available electronically, you will receive an e-mail announcement. The
content of the information provided for electronic delivery is the responsibility
of the issuing corporation, mutual fund, or third party, presenting it. If your
securities are held by a financial institution, the broker or bank that holds
your security is not responsible for content of electronic shareowner material.
Failure
of E-Mail Address
If, during a distribution, your e-mail address proves
to be invalid, your enrollment in this electronic delivery service will be cancelled
and you will receive a hard-copy notification of the announcement. This notification
will provide the URL to the electronic material, and will contain instructions
to visit http://www.investordelivery.com/
to re-enroll. Option
to Receive Hard Copy
If, after enrollment in this electronic delivery
service, you would like to receive a printed set of shareowner material for a
particular security, in addition to your e-mail notification, you may request
hard copy delivery from your broker, bank or directly from the issuing corporation
or mutual fund. The broker, bank, issuing corporation or mutual fund may, at their
discretion, impose a fee to receive the printed materials in addition to the electronic
materials. To
Update Your Information or Cancel Enrollment
By visiting http://www.investordelivery.com/
and entering your unique enrollment number, you may update your contact information,
such as e-mail address or personal identification number (PIN), or you may cancel
your participation in electronic delivery by selecting the cancellation option.
Hardware
and Software Required to Use Service
Enrollment in this electronic delivery service requires that you have
a personal computer with appropriate browser software, such as Microsoft

be responsible for the costs associated with electronic access; these
costs are the responsibility of the shareowner. Should you wish to print
