Important information about opening a new account. The Vanguard Group, Inc. (Vanguard),

is required by federal law to obtain from each person who opens an account certain

personal information—including name, street address, and date of birth—that will be used

to verify identity. If you don’t provide us with this information, we won’t be able to open the

account. If we’re unable to verify your identity, Vanguard reserves the right to close your

account or take other steps we deem reasonable.

• I have full authority and legal capacity to purchase fund shares.

• I have received a current prospectus of each fund I am investing in and agree to be bound by its terms.

• If I represent an organization, I confirm that the organization is in existence and that I have full authority to enter into investment transactions on behalf of the organization and to execute and deliver documents on its behalf.

• If I have chosen an electronic transfer option, I authorize Vanguard, upon telephone or online request, to pay amounts representing redemptions made by me, or to secure payment of amounts invested by me, by initiating credit or debit entries to my account at the bank named in Section 9. I authorize the bank to accept any such credits or debits to my account without responsibility for their correctness. I acknowledge that the origination of ACH transactions to my account must comply with U.S. law. I further agree that Vanguard will not incur any loss, liability, cost, or expense for acting upon my telephone or online request. I understand that this authorization may be terminated by me at any time by written notification to Vanguard and to the bank. The termination request will be effective as soon as Vanguard has had a reasonable amount of time to act upon it. I represent and warrant to Vanguard that I am an owner or authorized signer on the bank account specified in Section 9 and that no other owner or authorized signer of such bank account (other than the joint Vanguard account owner(s), if applicable) is required to sign in order to authorize the initiation of ACH entries to such bank account.

• If I have chosen the checkwriting option, I authorize Vanguard’s custodian bank to honor checks drawn by me on my Vanguard fund account and to effect a redemption of sufficient shares in the account to cover payment of such checks. I understand that (1) this privilege may be amended
