(January 1999)

Department of the Treasury (Under section 530 of the Internal Revenue Code) Internal Revenue Service

The depositor whose name appears above is establishing an individual retirement account under section 530 for the benefit of an individual

who is the above custodial named designated beneficiary exclusively to pay for the qualified higher education expenses, within the meaning of

section 530(b)(2), of such designated beneficiary.

The custodian named above has provided the depositor with a concise statement disclosing the provisions governing section 530. 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. Providing the depositor with a copy of Notice 97-60, 1997-2 C.B. 310, is considered a sufficient

disclosure statement. The custodian also will provide a copy of this form and the disclosure statement to the responsible individual, as defined

in Article VI below, if the responsible individual is not the same person as the depositor.

The depositor and the custodian make the following agreement:

Article I

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 trust fund or a common investment fund (within the meaning of section 530(b)(1)(D)).

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.

2. Any balance to the credit of the designated beneficiary shall be distributed within 30 days of the date of such designated beneficiary’s

death unless the designated death beneficiary is a family member of the designated beneficiary who is under the age of 30 on the date of death.

In such a case, the family member shall become the designated beneficiary as of the date of death.

The custodian may accept additional cash contributions. These contributions may be from the depositor, or from any other individual, 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. Total contributions that are not rollover contributions described in section 530(d)(5) are limited to a maximum amount of $500 for the

taxable year.

Article II

The maximum aggregate contribution that an individual may make to the custodial account in any year may not exceed the $500 in total

contributions that the custodial account can receive. In addition, the maximum aggregate contribution that an individual may make to the

custodial account in any year is phased out for individuals who have modified adjusted gross income (AGI) between $95,000 and $110,000 for

the year of the contribution (the phase-out range for married individuals who file joint returns is modified AGI between $150,000 and $160,000

for the year of the contribution). Individuals with modified AGI above $110,000 for the year and married individuals who file joint returns and

have modified AGI above $160,000 for the year may not make a contribution for that year. Modified AGI is defined in section 530(c)(2).

Article V

The depositor shall have the power to direct the custodian regarding the investment of the above-listed amount assigned to the custodial

account (including earnings thereon) in the investment choices offered by the custodian. The responsible individual, however, shall have the

power to redirect the custodian regarding the investment of such amounts, as well as the power to direct the custodian regarding the

investment of all additional contributions (including earnings thereon) to the custodial account. In the event that the responsible individual does

not direct the custodian regarding the investment of additional contributions (including earnings thereon), the initial investment direction of the

depositor also will govern all additional contributions made to the custodial account until such time as the responsible individual otherwise

directs the custodian. Unless otherwise provided in this agreement, 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” named by the depositor 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. Unless otherwise directed by checking the option below, at the time that the designated beneficiary attains the

age of majority under state law, the designated beneficiary becomes the responsible individual. If a family member under the age of majority

under state law becomes the designated beneficiary by reason of being a named death beneficiary, the responsible individual shall be such

designated beneficiary’s parent or guardian.

Option (This provision is effective only if checked): The responsible individual shall continue to serve as the responsible individual for the

custodial account after the designated beneficiary attains the age of majority under state law and until such time as all assets have been

distributed from the custodial account and the custodial account terminates. If the responsible individual becomes incapacitated or dies after the

designated beneficiary reaches the age of majority under state law, the responsible individual shall be the designated beneficiary.
