ACKNOWLEDGMENT
*     I (we) have received a copy of the current prospectus of the Funds
      selected.
*     If purchasing an IRA, I (we) certify that I (we) have read the
      Retirement Plan and Custody Agreement and agree to the terms and
      conditions set forth therein, and do hereby establish the Individual
      Retirement Plan.
*     Under penalties of perjury, I certify that the social security number
      or other taxpayer identification number shown on reverse side is
      correct and (strike the following if not true) that I am not subject
      to tax withholding because I have not been notified by the IRS that I
      am subject to withholding as a result of a failure to report all
      interest and dividends or I was subject to withholding and the IRS
      has notified me that I am no longer subject to withholding.
*     Since a major portion of the sales charge for Variable Investment
      Programs is deducted from payments made in the first year, I
      understand that a loss will undoubtedly result if I withdraw or
      discontinue payments during the early years of the program.
Signature(s) of Purchaser (all joint purchasers must sign).  Sign exactly as
name(s) appear in registration.
