Risk Tolerance

Your risk tolerance is your comfort level to withstand risk with respect to investments (e.g., the potential toabsorb losses in your investments). For example, an investor whose risk tolerance is conservative seekssecurities that are most likely to preserve principal with low risk, while an investor with an aggressive risktolerance is willing to accept a high degree of risk regarding potential loss of principal.

• Conservative – Prefer little risk and low volatility in return for accepting potentially lower returns.Minimizing exposure of principal to loss or fluctuation is very important.

• Moderately Conservative – Willing to take some risk to seek enhanced returns. Reduced exposure ofprincipal to loss or fluctuation is important.

• Moderate – Willing to assume an average amount of market risk and volatility or loss of principal to achievepotentially higher returns.

• Moderately Aggressive – Willing to assume an above-average amount of risk and volatility or loss ofprincipal to take advantage of potentially higher return opportunities.

• Aggressive – Willing to sustain substantial volatility or loss of principal and assume a high level of risk inpursuing potentially higher returns.

12 ResponsibleIndividual’sInvestmentProfile(continued)

Your investment objective is how you seek to have your investments achieve your financial goals. Forexample, a person who chooses growth as a primary investment objective is seeking growth of principalrather than generation of income.

• Preservation of Capital – Seeks to preserve the value of your investments through all market conditionswith a preference for holding cash and/or cash equivalents (e.g., money market funds, CDs, Treasurysecurities with maturities of one year or less).

• Income – Seeks to earn income through holdings of bonds and/or income-yielding securities. • Tax-Free Income – Predominantly seeks to earn income free from income taxes. • Growth – Seeks to achieve growth of capital through investment in securities. • Short-Term Gain – Emphasis on short-term trading practices to capitalize on market fluctuations. This

objective is associated with higher-than-normal market risk. • Speculation – Emphasis on aggressive investments that assume above-average market risk with hope of

achieving commensurate gains.• Diversified – Investment options selected conform with recommendations of company-approved Asset

Allocation Model.

Investment Objectives

Select up to two (2) objectives. Indicate first choice as 1 and second choice, if any, as 2.

Coverdell Education Savings Account Custodial Account Agreement

This Agreement establishes and sets forth the terms of the Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC Coverdell Education Savings Account (defined herein as a “CESA”) and is made between the Responsible Individual (the "Depositor") and Prudential Trust Company (the "Custodian"), to establish a Coverdell Education Savings Account within the meaning of section 530 of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") for the exclusive purpose of paying the "qualified education expenses" (within the meaning of section 530(b)(2) of the Code) of the Designated Beneficiary.

INTRODUCTION

Description of the Prudential MutualFund Services LLC Coverdell Education

Savings Account

This introduction is provided to help you better understand the rules and regulations concerning the Coverdell Education Savings Account offered by Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC. It should be read together with the Articles of the Prudential Mutual Fund Services LLC Coverdell Education Savings Account Custodial Account Agreement that follow.

Coverdell Education Savings Accounts (formerly known as Education IRAs) were created by the Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 (which added section 530 to the Code) and were most recently modified in August 2001. Under this agreement, a Coverdell Education Savings Account shall be referred to as a “CESA”. Under the provisions of the Code, a CESA is a limited-purpose trust or custodial account that has been granted certain tax advantages provided the funds in such trust or custodial account are used for the Code-specified purposes. Earnings on the assets held in a CESA are not subject to federal income tax if distributions from the CESA are used to pay for "qualifying education expenses" of the Designated Beneficiary of the CESA. We do not determine or record whether a distribution is made for a “qualifying education expense” of the Designated Beneficiary. You should consult with your tax adviser for guidance on tax matters involving this account. The state and local income tax treatment of your CESA may differ from the federal rules.

1. Establishment

A CESA may be established for the benefit of any child under age 18, or for a special needs child* (as determined under Internal Revenue Service “IRS” regulations) of any age (either referred to hereafter as a "Designated Beneficiary"). An individual may establish CESAs for the benefit of more than one Designated Beneficiary, with a separate CESA established for each beneficiary. The CESA is designed to be managed and directed by a "Responsible Individual," who typically is the Designated Beneficiary's parent or legal guardian.

*A special needs child is defined as a beneficiary with a medical condition or a physical, mental or emotional handicap. Contributions may be made past the age of 18 for a special needs child and need not be distributed at age 30 for a special needs child.

2. Contributions and Deductions

Contributions: An individual Depositor may contribute up to $2,000 (for years prior to 2002, the limit is $500) per tax year (generally the calendar year for most taxpayers) on behalf of any Designated Beneficiary to a CESA. No more than $2,000 in aggregate contributions may be made for the benefit of any Designated Beneficiary in any given tax year. Contributions on behalf of a Designated Beneficiary may be made to a CESA up until the date the Designated Beneficiary reaches his or her 18th birthday. (Please note, however, that the age restriction is waived for a child who has "special needs".)

Excess Contributions: Aggregate contributions for the benefit of a particular child in excess of $2,000 ($500 for years prior to 2002)** for a year are treated as "excess contributions." If the excess contributions (and any earnings attributable to them) are not withdrawn from the Designated Beneficiary's account (or accounts) by the first day of the sixth month of the tax year following the tax year in which the contribution was made for contribution years after 2001 (generally June 1), the excess contributions are subject to a 6 percent excise tax for each year the excess amount remains in the account.

**For 2002. For years 1998 through 2001, this amount was $500.

Page 16: Coverdell Education Savings Account Application€¦ · City State ZIP code 4-digit ext. ... Prudential Strategic Value Fund 586 587 383 _____ % $ ... Prudential Jennison Value Fund

Limits on How Much You May Contribute:Generally, you may contribute up to $2,000 ($500 for years prior to 2002) to a Designated Beneficiary's CESA. However, in the case where the contributor is an individual, the $2,000 maximum contribution per Designated Beneficiary is gradually reduced if your modified Adjusted Gross Income ("AGI") is between $95,000 and $110,000 (between $190,000 and $220,000 if married filing jointly beginning in 2002; between $150,000 and $160,000 for years prior to 2002). Unmarried individuals with a modified AGI above $110,000 ($220,000 if married filing jointly as of 2002; $160,000 if married filing jointly for tax years prior to 2002) cannot make contributions to a CESA.

Example: An unmarried individual with a modified AGI of $96,500 in a tax year could make a maximum contribution to a CESA for that year of $1,800 per beneficiary. If the unmarried individual's modified AGI was above $110,000, he or she could not make a contribution to a CESA for that year.

Timing of Contributions: For years prior to 2002, contributions for that year are required to be made by December 31 of such year. However, in 2002 and beyond, contributions for a particular year can be made up until the due date (without extensions) of the individual’s federal income tax return for that year (generally, April 15 of the subsequent year).

Deductions: A Depositor who is an individual may not take a deduction for contributions made to a CESA.

3. Tax Treatment of Distributions and Rollovers

General Rule: Distributions taken by or made to a Designated Beneficiary may be free of federal income tax if such distributions are used to pay for, and do not exceed, qualified education expenses of the Designated Beneficiary. In any event (other than the rollover or transfer exceptions noted below), amounts in a CESA will be distributed (or will be deemed to have been distributed) to the Designated Beneficiary within 30 days of the date such Designated Beneficiary attains age 30 (or, if earlier, within 30 days of the date that the Designated Beneficiary dies). The age restriction is waived for a child with "special needs."

What Are "Qualified Education Expenses”?:Qualified Education Expenses include qualified higher education expenses and, beginning in 2002, qualified

elementary and secondary education expenses. Generally, qualified higher education expenses are expenses for tuition, fees, books, supplies, and equipment required for the enrollment or attendance of the Designated Beneficiary at an eligible educational institution. Qualified higher education expenses also include certain room and board expenses if the Designated Beneficiary is at least a half-time student at an eligible educational institution. Generally, qualified elementary and secondary education expenses including tuition, tutoring, computer equipment and software, internet access, special needs services (in the case of a special needs Designated Beneficiary), uniforms, room and board and extended day program costs are qualified education expenses. Qualified education expenses are reduced by amounts paid for the benefit of the beneficiary as qualified scholarships, certain education assistance and other payments for such educational expenses.

What is an "Eligible Education Institution”?: An eligible education institution includes virtually any accredited college, university, vocational school, or other post-secondary school. Beginning in 2002, elementary and secondary education facilities are also eligible educational institutions.

Distributions Other Than for Payment of Qualified Education Expenses: If all or a portion of a distribution taken by or made to a Designated Beneficiary is not used for qualified education expenses, the Designated Beneficiary is subject to federal income tax on the taxable portion of the distribution that is not used for such qualified education expenses. (The taxable portion is the portion that represents earnings that have accumulated tax-free in the CESA, but does not include the contribution amounts themselves.) When taking distributions from a CESA, designated beneficiaries cannot choose to take distributions first from the non-taxable portion of the account. It is always considered that the portion representing earnings in the distribution is the same portion that earnings represent of the entire CESA at the time of the distribution.

If a distribution is received from a CESA and is subject to federal income tax, the taxable portion is also subject to a 10 percent federal income tax penalty. The tax penalty is not applied in the case of distributions due to the death or permanent disability of the

Page 17: Coverdell Education Savings Account Application€¦ · City State ZIP code 4-digit ext. ... Prudential Strategic Value Fund 586 587 383 _____ % $ ... Prudential Jennison Value Fund

beneficiary, the return of excess contributions, or made on account of certain scholarship, allowance or other tax-free payments made to the beneficiary.

Rollover and Transfer Distributions: Any amount distributed from a CESA and rolled over within 60 days to another CESA for the benefit of the same Designated Beneficiary, or certain members of the Designated Beneficiary's family who have not attained age 30 or have "special needs" at the time of such distribution, is not taxable. Members of the Designated Beneficiary's family include his or her children and their descendants, stepchildren and their descendants, siblings and their children, parents, grandparents, and stepparents, and spouses of all of the foregoing. Beginning in 2002, a member of the Designated Beneficiary's family shall also include any first cousin of the beneficiary.

Any amount transferred from one CESA to another CESA for the benefit of the same Designated Beneficiary or certain members of the Designated Beneficiary's family who have not attained age 30 at the time of such transfer or have "special needs" also is not taxable. There is no restriction on the frequency with which transfer contributions may be made, and transfers can be done more than once in a twelve-month period. However, assets may not be rolled over from one CESA to another more than once in a one-year (twelve-month) period.

The $2,000 annual contribution limit ($500 for years prior to 2002) to CESAs does not apply to rollover or transfer contributions.

Redesignation of Beneficiary: Instead of rolling over or transferring funds from one CESA to another, you may simply change the Designated Beneficiary of the CESA from one child to another. This redesignation will not trigger federal income tax if it is made prior to the previous Designated Beneficiary having attained age 30, and the new Designated Beneficiary is a member of the previous beneficiary's family, as described above, who also has not attained age 30 or who has "special needs.”

4. Interaction with other Higher Education Tax Incentives

Hope Scholarship Credit or Lifetime Learning Credit Coordination (Modified in 2002): A taxpayer can now claim the Hope Scholarship Credit or Lifetime

Learning Credit for a taxable year, and exclude from income in the same taxable year, a distribution from a CESA attributable to the same child/Designated Beneficiary, provided that the CESA distribution is not used for the same education expenses for which either one of the credits is claimed.

Prior to 2002, the Designated Beneficiary could not receive tax-free money from an Educational IRA/CESA in the same year that the Hope Scholarship Credit or Lifetime Learning Credit was claimed. However, the Designated Beneficiary could waive the tax-free treatment of the CESA distribution and elect to pay any tax that would otherwise be owed on a CESA distribution so that a Hope Scholarship Credit or Lifetime Learning Credit could still be claimed. Such waiver is no longer necessary after 2001.

Qualified State Tuition Programs Coordination (Modified in 2002): Prior to 2002, contributions could not be made to a CESA on behalf of a Designated Beneficiary during any tax year in which an amount is also contributed to a qualified state tuition program on behalf of the same beneficiary. To the degree any such contributions were made, the contribution to a CESA in this circumstance would be treated as an excess contribution to the CESA, subjecting the CESA to the 6 percent excise tax.

Beginning in 2002, contributions may be made to both a qualified state tuition program (expanded to include private tuition programs) and a CESA in the same tax year. If the distributions from the CESA and the qualified state tuition programs exceed the Designated Beneficiary's qualified education expenses in such year (after coordination with the Hope Scholarship Credit or Lifetime Learning Credit), a beneficiary is required to allocate the expenses between the distributions to determine the amounts includible into income for that tax year.

5. Miscellaneous Information

Tax FormsTax FormsTax FormsTax Forms: At this time, the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) does not require that certain federal tax forms be filed to report contributions or rollovers related to CESAs. Distributions from a CESA are reported on federal tax Form 8606. This form is used to determine the portion of the distribution that is subject to federal income tax. Form 5329 is required for distributions from CESAs to determine the amount of additional federal income tax penalty due on the

Page 18: Coverdell Education Savings Account Application€¦ · City State ZIP code 4-digit ext. ... Prudential Strategic Value Fund 586 587 383 _____ % $ ... Prudential Jennison Value Fund

distribution. This form is also required to report the amount of excise tax due for excess contributions. Any contributions or rollovers to a CESA will be reported by the Custodian to you and the IRS on Form 5498-ESA. Distributions from a CESA will be reported to you and the IRS on Form 1099-Q.

Performance Not Guaranteed: The investment of the assets in a CESA is directed by you, and not by the Custodian or any of its affiliates. Consequently, no guarantee can be or is being made as to the growth in the value of your CESA. The value of the CESA will depend upon the amount of your contributions, the length of time over which you contribute, and the performance of the investments you make.

IRS Approval: The Coverdell Education Savings Account Custodial Account Agreement below is modeled on Form 5305-EA, the IRS Model Education Individual Retirement Custodial Account Agreement. Variations in the text from such model agreement are only meant to incorporate changes in applicable law since the last issuance of such Agreement by the IRS. To the degree that the form is materially changed in the future to reflect IRS-mandated or other changes, we will provide you with a copy of any updated form for your records.

Additional Information: You may obtain additional information about CESAs in general from any district office of the Internal Revenue Service. For information about the required disclosure you must get from your Custodian, see Notice 97-60. (1997-2 C.B. 310).

ARTICLES OF COVERDELL EDUCATION SAVINGS ACCOUNT CUSTODIAL

ACCOUNT AGREEMENT Article I

The Custodian may accept additional contributions. These contributions may be from the Depositor, the Responsible Individual, or from any other individual or entity, for the benefit of the Designated Beneficiary, provided the Designated Beneficiary has not attained the age of 18 as of the date such contributions are made. (The age limitations set forth in the preceding sentence shall not apply to any Designated Beneficiary with "special needs" (as determined under Internal Revenue Service regulations). Total contributions that are not rollover contributions

described in section 530(d)(5) of the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code") are limited to a maximum amount of $2,000 for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2002 ($500 for taxable years prior to 2002).

Article II

The maximum aggregate contribution that the Depositor, Responsible Individual or an individual may make to the custodial account in any year may not exceed the $2,000 limitation ($500 for years prior to 2002) in total contributions as set forth in Article I. In addition, in the case where the contributor is an individual, the maximum aggregate contribution that the individual may make to the custodial account in any year is phased out for unmarried individuals who have modified adjusted gross income ("modified AGI") between $95,000 and $110,000 for the year of the contribution and for married individuals who file joint returns (a) with modified AGI between $190,000 and $220,000 for the year of the contribution for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2002 or (b) with modified AGI between $150,000 and $160,000 for taxable years prior to 2002. Unmarried individuals with modified AGI above $110,000 for the year and married individuals who file joint returns and have modified AGI above the limits set forth in the preceding sentence ($220,000 for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2002 and $160,000 for tax years prior to 2002) may not make a contribution for that year. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "modified AGI" is as defined in section 530(c)(2) of the Code.

Article III

No part of the custodial account funds may be invested in life insurance contracts, nor may the assets of the custodial account be commingled with other property except in a common investment fund (within the meaning of section 530(b)(1)(D) of the Code).

Article IV

1. Any balance to the credit of the Designated Beneficiary on the date on which such Designated Beneficiary attains age 30 shall be distributed to the Designated Beneficiary within 30 days of such date. The age restriction is waived for a child with "special needs."

2. Any balance to the credit of the Designated Beneficiary shall be distributed to the estate of the

Page 19: Coverdell Education Savings Account Application€¦ · City State ZIP code 4-digit ext. ... Prudential Strategic Value Fund 586 587 383 _____ % $ ... Prudential Jennison Value Fund

Designated Beneficiary within 30 days of the date of such Designated Beneficiary's death.

Article V

The Responsible Individual shall have the power to direct the Custodian regarding the investment of the custodial account (including earnings thereon) in the investment choices offered by the Custodian, as well as the power to direct the Custodian regarding the investment of all additional contributions (including earnings thereon) to the custodial account. The Responsible Individual also shall have the power to direct the Custodian regarding the administration, management, and distribution of the account.

Article VI

The "Responsible Individual" for purposes of this Agreement shall be a parent or guardian of the Designated Beneficiary. The custodial account shall have only one Responsible Individual at any time. If the Responsible Individual becomes incapacitated or dies while the Designated Beneficiary is a minor under state law, the successor Responsible Individual shall be the person named to succeed in that capacity by the preceding responsible individual in a witnessed writing or, if no successor is so named, the successor Responsible Individual shall be the Designated Beneficiary's other parent or successor guardian. At the time that the Designated Beneficiary attains the age of majority under state law, the Designated Beneficiary becomes the Responsible Individual.

Article VII

The Responsible Individual may change the Designated Beneficiary under this Agreement to another member of the Designated Beneficiary's family described in section 529(e)(2) of the Code in accordance with the Custodian's procedures.

Article VIII

1. The Responsible Individual agrees to provide the Custodian with the information necessary for the Custodian to prepare any reports required under section 530(n) of the Code.

2. The Custodian agrees to submit reports to the Internal Revenue Service and the Responsible Individual as prescribed by the Internal Revenue Service.

Article IX

Notwithstanding any other articles that may be added or incorporated, the provisions of Articles I through IV will be controlling. Any additional articles that are not consistent with section 530 of the Code and related regulations will be invalid.

Article X

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 Responsible Individual and the Custodian.

Article XI

Definitions and Additional Provisions

1. Purpose of the Custodial Account. The Coverdell Education Savings Account Custodial Account is a custodial account agreement intended to meet the requirements of section 530(a) of the Code. A Coverdell Education Savings Account ("CESA") is established after the Account Application for the CESA is fully executed by the Responsible Individual and accepted by the Custodian. This account must be created in the United States for the exclusive purpose of paying the qualified education expenses of the Designated Beneficiary.

2. Custodian. The Custodian is Prudential Trust Company or any successor designated by the Custodian, provided that, in all cases, the Custodian must be a bank or savings and loan association, as defined in section 408(n) of the Code, or any person who has the approval of the Internal Revenue Service to act as Custodian. Any person who may serve as a Custodian of a traditional IRA may serve as the Custodian of a CESA. The Custodian of the CESA has provided the Responsible Individual with a concise statement disclosing the provisions governing section 530 of the Code. This disclosure statement must include an explanation of the statutory requirements applicable to, and the income tax consequences of establishing and maintaining an account under section 530. For the purposes of providing such disclosures and forms, the Custodian may direct one of its affiliates to distribute such materials on its behalf.

3. Depositor. The Depositor whose name appears on the Account Application for the CESA is establishing an Education Savings Account custodial account

Page 20: Coverdell Education Savings Account Application€¦ · City State ZIP code 4-digit ext. ... Prudential Strategic Value Fund 586 587 383 _____ % $ ... Prudential Jennison Value Fund

under section 530 of the Code for the benefit of the Designated Beneficiary whose name appears thereon exclusively to pay for the qualified education expenses, within the meaning of section 530(b)(2) of the Code, of such Designated Beneficiary. For purposes of this Agreement, the Responsible Individual may also be the Depositor.

4. Designated Beneficiary. The Designated Beneficiary is the person on whose behalf the custodial account has been established.

5. Responsible Individual. The Responsible Individual is as set forth in Article VI. In addition to the provisions and powers enumerated above, under the terms of this Agreement the Responsible Individual may change the Designated Beneficiary to a new Designated Beneficiary as long as the new Designated Beneficiary is a member of the previous Designated Beneficiary's family (within the meaning of section 529(e)(2) of the Code) who has not attained age 30 at the time of such redesignation or who has been identified as having "special needs". The Responsible Individual may designate a new beneficiary at any time without limitation on the number of times such redesignation may be so made in any given year, subject to any restrictions or limitations by the Custodian.

6. Identification Numbers. The Depositor's and Designated Beneficiary's federal Social Security numbers will serve as their identification numbers. If the Depositor is a nonresident alien and does not have an identification number, the Depositor must write "Foreign" in the block where the number is requested. The Designated Beneficiary's Social Security number is the identification number of his or her CESA. An employer identification number ("EIN") is required only for a CESA for which a return is filed to report unrelated business income. An EIN is required for a common fund created for CESAs.

7. Arbitration. Any controversy arising out of or relating to the CESA established by the Depositor, to transactions with or for the Depositor, Responsible Individual or the Designated Beneficiary, or to this Agreement or the breach thereof, and whether executed or to be executed within or outside the United States, shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the rules of either the NASD, AMEX, or the Board of Governors of the New York Stock

Exchange as the Responsible Individual may elect. If the Responsible Individual does not make such election by registered mail addressed to the Custodian at its main office within five (5) days after demand by the Custodian that the Responsible Individual make such election, then the Custodian shall make such election. Notice preliminary to, in conjunction with, or incident to such arbitration proceedings may be sent to the Depositor by mail, and personal service is hereby waived. Judgment upon any award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof, without notice to the Responsible Individual. The parties (and the Designated Beneficiary, through the Consent of the Depositor and/or Responsible Individual) hereby acknowledge :

(a) Arbitration is final and binding on the parties;

(b) The parties (and the Designated Beneficiary, through the Consent of the Depositor and/or Responsible Individual) are waiving their rights to seek remedies in court, including the right to jury trial;

(c) Pre-arbitration discovery is generally more limited than and different from court proceedings;

(d) The arbitrator's award is not required to include factual findings or legal reasoning, and any party's right to appeal or to seek modification of rulings by the arbitrators is strictly limited; and

(e) The panel of arbitrators will typically include a minority of arbitrators who were or are affiliated with the securities industry.

8. Applicable Law: This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the requirements of New Jersey law and, to the degree applicable, the provisions of the Code.
