objective, strategy, risks, and expenses

What are each fund`s objectives and principal investment strategies?

Emerging Markets Bond Fund

Objective: : The fund seeks to provide high income and capital appreciation.

<R>

Strategy: : The fund will normally invest at least 80 % (and potentially all) of net assets in the government or corpo rate debt securities of emerging nations. Fund holdings may be denominated in U.S. dollar s and non-U.S. dollar currencies, including emerging market currencies . The extent, if any, to which the fund attempts to cushion the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the dollar depends on market conditions. Fund holdings may include the lowest-rated bonds, including those in default.

</R>

<R>

Although we expect to maintain an intermediate - to long - weighted average maturity, there are no maturity restrictions on the overall portfolio or on individual securities . Security selection relies heavily on research, which analyzes political and economic trends as well as creditworthiness. The fund tends to favor bonds it expects will be upgraded. The fund sells holdings for a variety of reasons, such as to adjust it s average maturity or credit qual ity, to shift assets into higher-yielding securities, or to alter geographic or currency exposure.

</R>

International Bond Fund

Objective: : The fund seeks to provide high current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in high-quality, nondollar-denominated bonds outside the U.S.

Strategy: : N ormally , the fund will invest at least 80% of net assets in bonds and 65% of net assets in high-quality (AA or better) foreign bonds . The fund may invest up to 20% of total assets in below investment-grade, high-risk bonds, including those in default or with the lowest rating. Up to 20% of total assets may be invested in U.S. dol lar-denominated foreign bonds such as Brady and other emerging market bonds.

Although we expect to maintain an intermediate - to long - weighted average maturity, there are no maturity restrictions on the overall portfolio or on individual securities. The fund has wide flexibility to purchase and sell currencies and engage in hedging transactions. However, we normally do not attempt to cushion the impact of foreign currency fluctuations on the dollar. Therefore, the fund is likely to be heavily exposed to foreign curren cies.

Investment decisions are based on fundamental market factors, such as yield and credit quality differences among bonds as well as demand and supply trends and currency values. The fund generally invests in countries where the combination of fixed-income returns and currency exchange rates appears attractive or, if the currency trend is unfavorable, where we believe the currency risk can be minimized through hedging. The fund sells holdings for a variety of reasons, such as to adjust its average maturity or credit quality, to shift assets into higher-yielding securities, or to alter geographic or currency exposure.

For details about each fund`s investment program, please see the Investment Policies and Practices section.

Table 1 International Funds Comparison Guide

Fund	Geographic focus	Quality of securities	Normal currency exposure	Expected risk relative to one another

Emerging Markets Bond	Outside U.S.	Primarily lower quality	Varies	Higher
International Bond	Outside U.S.	Primarily high quality	High	High

Both of these funds are considered "nondiversified" for purposes of the Investment Company Act of 1940.

Certain i nvestment restrictions, such as a required minimum or maximum investment in a particular type of security, are measured at the time each fund purchases a security. The status, market value, maturity, credit qual ity, or other characteristics of each fund`s securities may change after they are purchased, and this may cause the amount of each fund`s assets invested in such securities to exceed the stated maximum restriction or fall below the stated minimum restriction. If any of these changes occur , it would not be considered a violation of the investment restriction. However, purchases by a fund during the time it is above or below the stated percentage restriction would be made in compliance with applicable restrictions.

What are the main risks of investing in the funds?

<R>

The risk profile s of the funds var y with the types of bonds they purchase, their degree of currency exposure, and whether they invest in developed markets, emerging markets, or both. Of the two funds, Emerging Markets Bond is more risky , with a highe r potential for greater share price volatility and sharp share price declines.

</R>

Interest rate risk This risk refers to the decline in bond prices that accompanies a rise in the overall level of inter est rates. (Bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions.) Because prices of long-term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes than prices of short-term bonds, the funds have greater interest rate risk than short-term bond funds.

<R>

Credit risk This risk is the chance that any of the funds` holdings will have their credit ratings downgraded or will default (fail to make scheduled interest or principal payments), potentially reducing the fund`s income level and share price. The risk of default is much greater for emerging market bonds.

</R>

Nondiversified risk Because they are nondiversified, each fund can invest more of its assets in a smaller number of issuers than diversified funds. Concentrating investments could result in greater potential losses than for funds investing in a broader variety of issues.

<R>

Currency risk This is the risk of a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency. The overall impact on each fund`s holdings can be significant and long-lasting, depending on the currencies represented in the portfolio, how each one appreciates or depreciates in relation to the U.S. dollar , and whether currency positions are hedged. The International Bond Fund normally is heavily exposed to foreign currencies, and, as a result, changes in currency exchange rates are likely to play a significant role in fund performance. Many b onds held in the Emerging Markets Bond Fund are denominated in U.S. dollars to improve their marketability, but this does not protect them from substantial price declines in the face of political and economic turmoil. Currency trends are unpredictable, and to the extent each fund purchases and sells currencies, it will also be subject to the risk that its trading strategies, including efforts at hedging, will not succeed. Furthermore, hedging costs can be significant and reduce fund net asset value, and many emerging market currencies cannot be effectively hedged.

</R>

Emerging market risk The funds` investments in emerging markets are subject to the risk of abrupt and severe price declines. The economic and political structures of developing nations, in most cases, do not compare favor ably with the U.S. or other developed countries in terms of wealth and stability, and their financial markets often lack liquidity. These economies are less well developed and can be overly reliant on particular industries and more vulnerable to the ebb and flow of international trade and capital trade barrier s and other protectionist or retaliatory measure s. Some countries have legacies of hyperinflation and currency devaluations versus the dollar (which adversely affect returns to U.S. investors). Significant devaluations have occurred in recent years in vari ous emerging market countries. Governments of some emerging market countries have defaulted on their bonds , and investors in this sector must be prepared for similar events in the future.

<R>

Liquidity risk This is the chance that the fund may not be able to sell securities at desired prices. Sectors of the bond market can experience sudden downturns in trading activity. During periods of reduced trading, the spread can widen between the price at which a security can be bought and the price at which it can be sold. Less liquid securities can become more difficult to value and be subject to erratic price movements.

</R>

Other risks of foreign investing Risks can result from varying stages of economic and political development, differ ing regulatory environments, trading day s , and accounting standards, uncertain tax laws, and higher transaction costs of non-U.S. markets . Investments outside the United States could be subject to governmental actions such

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

as capital or currency controls, nationalization of a company or industry, expropriation of assets, or imposition of high taxes.

Derivatives risk To the extent the funds use futures, swaps, and other derivatives , they are exposed to additional volatility and potential losses.

As with any mutual fund, there can be no guarantee the funds will achieve their objectives.

The share price and income level of each fund will fluctuate with changing market conditions and interest rate levels. When you sell your shares, you may lose money.

How can I tell which fund is more appropriate for me?

Consider your investment goals, your time horizon for achieving them, and your tolerance for risk. Neither fund is suitable for near-term financial goals. Your decision should take into account whether you have any other for eign bond investments. If not, you may wish to invest in the International Bond Fund to gain broad exposure to opportunities abroad. The Emerging Markets Bond Fund may be an appropriate part of your portfolio if you are supplementing existing holdings that are primarily in developed foreign markets and can accept the potentially greater volatility of emerging markets.

<R>

Each fund can be used in both regular and tax-deferred accounts, such as an individual retirement account ( IRA ) .

</R>

The fund or funds you select should not represent your complete investment program or be used for short-term trading purposes.

How has each fund performed in the past?

The bar charts showing calendar year returns and the average annual total return s table indicate risk by illustrat ing how much returns can differ from one year to the next and how fund performance compares with that of a comparable market index. Past fund returns (before and after taxes) are not necessarily an indication of future performance.

The funds can also experience short-term performance swings, as shown by the best and worst calendar quarter returns during the years depicted .

<R>

In addition, the average annual total return s table shows hypothetical after-tax returns to suggest how taxes paid by a shareholder may influence returns. Actual after-tax returns depend on each investor`s situation and may differ from those shown. After-tax returns are not relevant if the shares are held in a tax-deferred account, such as a 401(k) or IRA. During periods of fund losses, the post-liquidation after-tax return may exceed the fund`s other returns because the loss generates a tax benefit that is factored into the result.

</R>

Returns are based on changes in principal value, reinvested dividends , and capital gain distributions, if any. Returns before taxes do not reflect effects of any income or capital gains taxes. Taxes are computed using the highest federal income tax rate. The after-tax returns reflect the rates applicable to ordinary and qualified dividends and capital gain s effective in 2003 . The returns do not reflect the impact of state and local taxes. Returns after taxes on distributions reflect the taxed return on the payment of dividends and capital gains. Returns after taxes on distributions and sale of fund shares assume the shares were sold at period - end and, therefore, are also adjusted for any capital gains or losses incurred by the shareholder. Market indexes do not include expenses, which are deducted from fund returns, or taxes.

J.P. Morgan Emerging Markets Bond Index Global tracks Brady Bonds of a number of foreign countries.

Lehman Brothers Global Aggregate ex-U.S. Dollar Bond Index tracks investment-grade government, corporate, agency, and mortgage-related bonds in markets outside the U.S.

What fees and expenses will I pay?

The shares that are offered in this prospectus are 100% no load. However, the funds charge a 2.00% redemption fee, payable to the funds , on shares purchased and held for 90 days or less. There are no other fees or charges to buy or sell fund shares, reinvest dividends, or exchange into other T. Rowe Price funds. There are no 12b 1 fees.

other INFORMATION about the funds

Why invest in an international fund?

Interest rates vary from country to country depending on local economic conditions and monetary and fiscal policies. By investing in foreign fixed - income markets, U.S. investors can benefit from potentially higher yields than their own markets provide. Also, foreign bond markets often move independently of one another and the U.S. markets. Therefore, diversifying internationally across various countries can help reduce portfolio volatility and smooth out returns.

What are some of the advantages of investing in international fixed - income markets through mutual funds?

Buying foreign bonds can be difficult and costly for the individual investor, and gaining access to many foreign markets can be complicated. Few investors have the time, the expertise, or the resources to evaluate foreign mar kets effectively on their own. T he professional management, broad diversification, and relative simplicity of mutual funds make them an attractive, low-cost vehicle for this type of investing.

For more details on potential risks of foreign investments, please see t he Investment Policies and Practices section and the Statement of Additional Information.

How does the portfolio manager try to reduce risk?

Consistent with each fund`s objective, the portfolio manager uses various tools to try to reduce risk and increase total return, including:

Diversification of assets to reduce the impact of a single holding or sector on a fund`s net asset value.

Thorough credit research by our own analysts.

Adjustment of fund duration to try to reduce the drop in price when interest rates rise or to benefit from the rise in price when rates fall. Duration is a measure of a fund`s sensitivity to interest rate changes.

Management of the impact of foreign currency changes on the fund`s portfolio to the degree discussed previ ously under "currency risk."

Is there other information I can review before making a decision?

Investment Policies and Practices in Section 3 discusses various types of portfolio securities the funds may pur chase as well as types of management practices the funds may use.

Information About Accounts in T. Rowe Price Funds 2

As a T. Rowe Price shareholder, you will want to know about the following policies and procedures that apply to the T. Rowe Price family of stock, bond, and money funds.

Pricing Shares and Receiving Sale Proceeds

How and W hen S hares A re P riced

<R>

The share price (also called "net asset value" or NAV per share) for all funds is calculated at the close of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the exchange is open for business. To calculate the NAV, the fund`s assets are valued and totaled, liabilities are subtracted, and the balance, called net assets, is divided by the number of shares outstanding. Market values are used to price stocks and bonds. Market values represent the prices at which securities actually trade or evaluations based on the judgment of the fund`s pricing services. If a market value for a security is not available, the fund will make a good faith effort to assign a fair value to the security. This value may differ from the value the fund receives upon sale of the securities. Amortized cost is used to price securities held by money funds. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing NAV per share of the mutual fund on the day of valuation.

</R>

<R>

Non-U.S. equity securities are valued on the basis of the ir most recent closing market prices at 4 p.m. ET except under the circumstances described below . Most foreign markets close before 4 p.m . ET . For securities primarily traded in the Far East, for example, the most recent closing prices may be as much as 15 hours old at 4 p.m. ET . If a fund determines that developments between the close of a foreign market and 4 p.m. ET will, in its judg ment, materially affect the value of some or all of the fund`s securities, the fund will adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of 4 p.m. ET. In deciding whether to make these adjustments, the fund reviews a variety of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets , and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that repre sent foreign securities and baskets of foreign securities . The fund may also fair value securities in other situa tions, for example, when a particular foreign market is closed but the fund is open. The fund uses outside pricing services to provide it with closing market prices and information used for adjusting those prices. The fund cannot predict how often it will use closing prices and how often it will adjust those prices. As a means of evaluating its fair value process, the fund routinely compares closing market prices, the next day`s opening prices in the same markets, and adjusted prices. Other mutual funds may adjust the prices of their securities by different amounts.

</R>

The various ways you can buy, sell, and exchange shares are explained at the end of this prospectus and on the New Account Form. These procedures may differ for institutional and employer-sponsored retirement accounts or if you hold your account through an intermediary .

How Y our P urchase, S ale, or E xchange P rice I s D etermined

If we receive your request in correct form by 4 p.m. ET, your transaction will be priced at that business day`s NAV. If we receive it after 4 p.m. ET , it will be priced at the next business day`s NAV.

<R>

The funds generally do not accept orders that request a particular day or price for a transaction or any other spe cial conditions.

</R>

Fund shares may be purchased through various third-party intermediaries including banks, brokers, and invest ment advisers. Where authorized by a fund, orders will be priced at the NAV next computed after receipt by the intermediary. Consult your intermediary to determine when your orders will be priced. The intermediary may charge a fee for its services.

When authorized by the fund, certain financial institutions or retirement plans purchasing fund shares on behalf of customers or plan participants through Financial Institution Services or Retirement Plan Services may place a purchase order unaccompanied by payment . Payment for these shares must be received by the time designated by the fund (not to exceed the period established for settlement under applicable regulations). If payment is not received by this time, the order may be canceled. The financial institution or retirement plan is responsible for any costs or losses incurred by the fund or T. Rowe Price if payment is delayed or not received.

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

Note: The time at which transactions and shares are priced and the time until which orders are accepted may be changed in case of an emergency or if the New York Stock Exchange closes at a time other than 4 p.m. ET.

<R>

How Y ou C an R eceive the P roceeds F rom a S ale

</R>

When filling out the New Account Form, you may wish to give yourself the widest range of options for receiving proceeds from a sale.

If your request is received by 4 p.m. ET (on a business day) in correct form, proceeds are usually sent on the next business day. Proceeds can be sent to you by mail or to your bank account by Automated Clearing House (ACH) transfer or bank wire. ACH is an automated method of initiating payments from, and receiving payments in, your financial institution account. Proceeds sent by ACH transfer are usually credited the second business day after the sale. Proceeds sent by bank wire should be credited to your account the first business day after the sale.

Exception: Under certain circumstances and when deemed to be in a fund`s best interest, your proceeds may not be sent for up to seven calendar days after we receive your redemption request.

If for some reason we cannot accept your request to sell shares, we will contact you.

Contingent Redemption Fee

<R>

Short-term trading can disrupt a fund`s investment program and create additional costs for long-term sharehold ers. For these reasons, certain T. Rowe Price funds, listed in the following table , assess a fee on redemptions (including exchanges) , which reduces the proceeds from such redemptions by the amounts indicated:

</R>

U.S. Bond Index	0 .5 %	90 days or less

</R>

<R>

Redemption fees are paid to a fund to deter short-term trading, offset costs, and protect the fund`s long-term shareholders. Subject to the exceptions described on the following pages, a ll persons holding shares of a T. Rowe Price fund that imposes a redemption fee are subject to the fee , whether the person is holding shares directly with a T. R owe Price fund, through a retirement plan for which T. Rowe Price serves as recordkeeper, or indirectly through an intermediary, such as a broker, bank, investment adviser, recordkeeper for retirement plan participants, or any other third party .

</R>

Computation of H olding P eriod

W hen an investor sells shares of a fund that assesses a redemption fee, T. Rowe Price will use the "first-in, first- out" (FIFO) method to determine the holding period for the shares sold. Under this method, the date of redemp tion or exchange will be compared with the earliest purchase date of shares held in the account. For funds with a 365-day holding period, a redemption fee will be charged on shares sold before the end of the required holding period. For funds with a 90-day holding period, a redemption fee will be charged on shares sold on or before the end of the required holding period. For example, if you redeem your shares on or before the 90th day from the date of purchase, you will be assessed the redemption fee. If you purchase shares through an intermediary, consult your intermediary to determine how the holding period will be applied.

Transactions N ot S ubject to R edemption F ees

The T. Rowe Price funds will not assess a redemption fee with respect to certain transactions. As of the date of this prospectus , the following shares of T. Rowe Price funds will not be subject to redemption fees:

1. Shares redeemed via a n automated systematic withdrawal plan ;

2. Shares redeemed through or used to establish a systematic , nondiscretionary rebalancing or asset alloca tion program , if approved in writing by T. Rowe Price;

3. Shares purchased by the reinvestment of dividends or capital gain distributions; *

4. Shares converted from one share class to another share class of the same fund; *

5 . Shares redeemed by a fund ( e.g. , for failure to meet account minimums or to cover various fees , such as fiduciary fees) ;

6 . Shares purchased by rollover and changes of account registration within the same fund;*

7 . Shares redeemed to return an excess contribution in an IRA account;

8 . Shares purchased by a fund-of-fund s product, if approved in writing by T. Rowe Price;

9 . Shares transferred to T. Rowe Price or a third - party intermediary acting as a service provider when the age of the shares cannot be determined systematically ; *

1 0 . Shares redeemed in retirement plans or other products that restrict trading to no more frequently than once per quarter , if approved in writing by T. Rowe Price.

* Subsequent exchanges of these shares into funds that assess redemption fees will subject such shares to the fee.

Redemption F ees on S hares H eld in R etirement P lans

If shares are held in a retirement plan, generally redemption fees will be assessed on shares redeemed by exchange only if they were originally purchased by exchange. However, redemption fees may apply to transac tions other than exchanges depending on how shares of the plan are held at T. Rowe Price or how the fees are applied by your plan`s recordkeeper. To determine which of your transactions are subject to redemption fees , you should contact T. Rowe Price or your plan recordkeeper.

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

Omnibus A ccounts

If your shares are held through an intermediary in an omnibus account, T. Rowe Price relies on the intermediary to assess the redemption fee on underlying shareholder accounts. T. Rowe Price seeks to identify intermediaries establishing omnibus accounts and to enter into agreements requiring the intermediary to assess the redemption fees. There are no assurances that T. Rowe Price will be successful in identifying all intermediaries or that the intermediaries will properly assess the fees. Intermediaries who are unable to implement redemption fees due to system limitations must either (1) implement short-term trading restrictions approved by T. Rowe Price until they have the system capabilities to assess the fees or (2) set forth an implementation plan acceptable to T. Rowe Price.

Certain intermediaries may not apply the exemptions previously listed to the redemption fee policy; all redemp tions by persons trading through such intermediaries may be subject to the fee. Certain intermediaries may exempt transactions not listed from redemption fees, if approved by T. Rowe Price. Persons redeeming shares through an intermediary should c heck with the ir respective intermediary to determine which transactions are subject to the fees.

Useful Information on Distributions and Taxes

<R>

To the extent possible, a ll net investment income and realized capital gains are distributed to shareholders.

</R>

Dividends and Other Distributions

Dividend and capital gain distributions are reinvested in additional fund shares in your account unless you select another option on your New Account Form. Reinvesting distributions results in compounding , that is, receiving income dividends and capital gain distributions on a rising number of shares.

Distributions not reinvested are paid by check or transmitted to your bank account via ACH. If the U.S. Post Office cannot deliver your check, or if your check remains uncashed for six months, the fund reserves the right to reinvest your distribution check in your account at the NAV on the day of the reinvestment and to reinvest all subsequent distributions in shares of the fund. I nterest will not accrue on amounts represented by uncashed dis tributions or redemption checks.

The following table provides details on dividend payments :

Bond or money f und shares will earn dividends through the date of redemption . S hares redeemed on a Friday or prior to a holiday (other than wire redemptions for money funds received before noon ET) will continue to earn dividends until the next business day. Generally, if you redeem all of your bond or money fund shares at any time during the month, you will also receive all dividends earned through the date of redemption in the same check. When you redeem only a portion of your bond or money fund shares, all dividends accrued on those shares will be reinvested, or paid in cash, on the next dividend payment date.

If you purchase and sell your shares through an intermediary, consult your intermediary to determine when your shares begin and stop accruing dividends; the information described above may vary.

Capital G ain P ayments

If a fund has net capital gains for the year (after subtracting any capital losses), they are usually declared and paid in December to shareholders of record on a specified date that month. If a second distribution is neces sary, it is paid the following year.

Capital gain payments are not expected from money funds, which are managed to maintain a constant share price.

A capital gain or loss is the difference between the purchase and sale price of a security.

Tax Information

You will be sent information for your tax filing needs on a timely basis .

<R>

If you invest in the fund through a tax-deferred account , such as an IRA , you will not be subject to tax on divi dends and distributions from the fund or the sale of fund shares if those amounts remain in the tax-deferred account. You may receive a Form 1099-R or other IRS forms, as applicable, if any of the account is distributed to you.

</R>

If you invest in the fund through a taxable account, y ou will generally be subject to tax when :

<R>

</R>

You sell fund shares, including an exchange from one fund to another.

A fund makes a distribution to your account.

<R>

Additional information about the taxatio n of dividends for certain T. Rowe Price funds is listed below:

</R>

<R>

Tax-Free and Municipal Funds
Regular monthly dividends (including those from the state - specific tax-free funds) are expected to be exempt from federal income taxes. Exemption is not guaranteed, since the fund has the right under certain conditions to invest in nonexempt securities. You must report your total tax-free income on IRS Form 1040. The IRS uses this information to help determine the tax status of any Social Security payments you may have received during the year. Tax-exempt dividends paid to Social Security recipients may increase the portion of benefits that is subject to tax. For state - specific funds, the monthly dividends you receive are expected to be exempt from state and local income tax of that particular state . For other funds, a small portion of your income dividend may be exempt from state and local income taxes. If the funds invest in certain "private activity" bonds, shareholders who are subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT) must include income generated by those bonds in their AMT calculation. The portion of the fund`s income dividend that should be included in your AMT calculation, if any, will be reported to you in January on Form 1099-INT.
Tax-Efficient Balanced Fund
The fund intends to invest a sufficient portion of its assets in municipal bonds and notes so that it may qualify to pay tax-exempt dividends, which will be exempt from federal income tax. The fund may not always qualify to pay tax-exempt dividends. You must report your total tax-exempt income on IRS Form 1040. T he IRS uses this informa tion to help determine the tax status of any Social Security payments you may have received during the year. Tax-exempt dividends paid to Social Security recipients may increase the portion of benefits that is subject to tax. A small portion of your income dividend may also be exempt from state and local income taxes. If the fund invests in certain "private activity" bonds, shareholders who are subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT) must include income generated by those bonds in their AMT calculation. The portion of the fund`s income dividends that should be included in your AMT calculation, if any, will be reported to you in January on Form 1099-INT.

</R>

<R>

For individual shareholders, a portion of ordinary dividends representing " qualified dividend income " received by the fund may be subject to tax at the lower rate applicable to long-term capital gains, rather than ordinary income. You may report it as " qualif ied dividend income" in computing your taxes provided you have held the fund shares on which the dividend was paid for more than 60 days during the 12 1 -day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date. Ordinary d ividends that do not qualify for this lower rate are generally taxable at the investor ` s marginal income tax rate. This includes the portion of ordinary dividends derived from interest, short-term capital gains, distributions from nonqualified foreign corporations, and dividends received by the fund from stocks that were on loan. Little, if any, of the ordinary dividends paid by the Real Estate Fund or the bond and money funds is expected to qualify for this lower rate.

</R>

For corporate shareholders, a portion of ordinary dividends may be eligible for the 70% deduction for divi dends received by corporations to the extent the fund`s income consists of dividends paid by U.S. corporations. Little, if any, of the ordinary dividends paid by the international funds or the bond and money funds is expected to qualify for this deduction.

Taxes on F und R edemptions

When you sell shares in any fund, you may realize a gain or loss. An exchange from one fund to another is also a sale for tax purposes.

<R>

In January, if applicable, you will be sent Form 1099-B indicating the date and amount of each sale you made in the fund during the prior year. This information will also be reported to the IRS. For most new accounts or those opened by exchange in 1984 or later, we will provide you with the gain or loss on the shares you sold during the

</R>

<R>

</R>

<R>

year based on the average cost single category method. This information is not reported to the IRS, and you do not have to use it. You may calculate the cost basis using other methods acceptable to the IRS, such as "specific identification."

</R>

<R>

To help you maintain accurate records, we will send you a confirmation promptly following each transaction you make (except for systematic purchases and redemptions) and a year-end statement detailing all of your transactions in each fund account during the year.

</R>

Taxes on F und D istributions

<R>

In January, if applicable, you will be sent a Form 1099-DIV , Form 1099-INT, or other IRS forms, as required, indicating the tax status of any income dividend s, dividends exempt from federal income taxes , and capital gain distributions made to you . This information will be reported to the IRS . T axable d istributions are generally tax able to you in the year in which they are paid. Y our bond or money fund dividends for each calendar year will include dividends accrued up to the first business day of the next calendar year. You will be sent any additional information you need to determine your taxes on fund distributions, such as the portion of your dividends, if any, that may be exempt from state and local income taxes. Dividends from tax-free funds are generally expected to be tax-exempt.

</R>

The tax treatment of a capital gain distribution is determined by how long the fund held the portfolio securities, not how long you held the shares in the fund. Short-term (one year or less) capital gain distributions are taxable at the same rate as ordinary income , and gains on securities held more than one year are taxed at the lower rates applicable to long-term capital gains . If you realized a loss on the sale or exchange of fund shares that you held six months or less, your short-term capital loss must be reclassified as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any long-term capital gain distribution s received during the period you held the shares. If you realize d a loss on the sale or exchange of tax-free fund shares held six months or less, your capital loss is reduced by the tax-exempt dividends received on those shares. For funds investing in foreign securities, distributions resulting from the sale of certain foreign currencies, currency contracts, and the currency portion of gains on debt securities are taxed as ordinary income. Net foreign currency losses may cause monthly or quarterly dividends to be reclassified as a return of capital.

<R>

</R>

<R>

The following table provides additional details on distributions for certain funds :

</R>

<R>

<R> Table 5 Taxes on F und D istributions

Tax-Free and Municipal Funds
Gains realized on the sale of market discount bonds with maturities beyond one year may be treated as ordinary income and cannot be offset by other capital losses. Payments received or gains realized on certain derivative transactions may result in taxable ordinary income or capital gain. To the extent the fund invests in these securities, the likelihood of a taxable distribution will be increased.
Tax-Efficient Balanced Fund
Gains realized on the sale of market discount bonds with maturities beyond one year may be treated as ordinary income and cannot be offset by other capital losses. To the extent the fund invests in these securities, the likelihood of a taxable distribution will be increased.
Inflation Protected Bond Fund
Inflation adjustments on Treasury inflation-protected securities exceeding deflation adjust ments for the year will be distributed to you as a short-term capital gain resulting in ordinary income . In computing the distribution amount, the fund cannot reduce inflation adjustments by short- or long-term capital losses from the sales of securities. Net deflation adjustments for a year may result in all or a portion of dividends paid earlier in the year being treated as a return of capital.
Retirement and Spectrum Funds
Distributions by the underlying funds and changes in asset allocations may result in taxable distributions of ordinary income or capital gains.

</R>

<R>

Tax C onsequences of H edging

</R>

Entering into certain options, futures, swaps, and forward foreign exchange contracts and transactions may result in the application of the mark-to-market and straddle provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. These provisions could result in the fund being required to distribute gains on such transactions even though it did not close the contracts during the year or receive cash to pay such distributions. The fund may not be able to reduce its distributions for losses on such transactions to the extent of unrealized gains in offsetting positions.

<R>

Taxable d istributions are subject to tax whether reinvested in additional shares or received in cash.

</R>

Tax E ffect of B uying S hares B efore a n I ncome D ividend or C apital G ain D istribution

If you buy shares shortly before or on the "record date" — the date that establishes you as the person to receive the upcoming distribution — you may receive a portion of the money you just invested in the form of a taxable distri bution. Therefore, you may wish to find out a fund`s record date before investing. Of course, a fund`s share price may, at any time, reflect undistributed capital gains or income and unrealized appreciation, which may result in future taxable distributions. Such distributions can occur even in a year when the fund has a negative return.

Transaction Procedures and Special Requirements

Following these procedures helps assure timely and accurate transactions.

Purchase Conditions

Nonpayment

If you pay with a check or ACH transfer that does not clear or if your payment is not received in a timely manner , your purchase may be canceled. You will be responsible for any losses or expenses incurred by the fund or trans fer agent, and the fund can redeem shares you own in this or another identically registered T. Rowe Price account as reimbursement. The fund and its agents have the right to reject or cancel any purchase, exchange, or redemp tion due to nonpayment.

U.S. D ollars

All purchases must be paid for in U.S. dollars; checks must be drawn on U.S. banks.

Sale (Redemption) Conditions

Holds on I mmediate R edemptions: 10-day H old

If you sell shares that you just purchased and paid for by check or ACH transfer, the fund will process your redemption but will generally delay sending you the proceeds for up to 10 calendar days to allow the check or transfer to clear. If, during the clearing period, we receive a check drawn against your newly purchased shares , it will be returned marked "uncollected." (The 10-day hold does not apply to purchases paid for by bank wire or automatic purchases through your paycheck.)

Telephone, Tele*Access SM , and O nline A ccount T ransactions

You may access your account or conduct transactions using the telephone or Tele*Access SM , or online . The T. Rowe Price funds and their agents use reasonable procedures to verify the identity of the shareholder. If these procedures are followed, the funds and their agents are not liable for any losses that may occur from acting on unauthorized instructions. A confirmation is sent promptly after a transaction. Please review it carefully and con tact T. Rowe Price immediately about any transaction you believe to be unauthorized. T elephone conversations are recorded.

<R>

Large Redemptions

</R>

<R>

</R>

<R>

</R>

<R>

("redemption in-kind"). If this occurs, the securities will be selected by the fund in its absolute discretion and the redeeming shareholder or account will be responsible for disposing of the securities and bearing any associ ated costs.

</R>

Excessive and Short-Term Trading

T. Rowe Price may bar excessive and short-term traders from purchasing shares.

Excessive or short-term trading in fund shares may disrupt management of a fund and raise its costs. Short-term traders in funds investing in foreign securities may seek to take advantage of an anticipated difference between the price of the fund`s shares and price movements in overseas markets (see Pricing Shares and Receiving Sale Proceeds — How and W hen S hares A re P riced ). While there is no assurance that T. Rowe Price can prevent all excessive and short-term trading, the Board of Directors/Trustees of each fund has adopted the policy set forth below to deter such activity. Persons trading directly with T. Rowe Price or indirectly through intermediaries in violation of this policy or persons believed to be short-term traders may be barred for a minimum of 90 calendar days or permanently from further purchases of T. Rowe Price funds . Purchase transactions placed by such per sons are subject to rejection without notice .

All persons purchasing shares held directly with a T. Rowe Price fund, or through a retirement plan for which T. Rowe Price serves as recordkeeper, who make more than one purchase and one sale or one sale and one pur chase involving the same fund within any 90-day calendar period will violate the policy .

All persons purchasing fund shares held through an intermediary, including a broker, bank, investment adviser, recordkeeper, insurance company, or other third party, and who hold the shares for less than 90 calendar days will violate the policy.

Omnibus A ccounts

Intermediaries often establish omnibus accounts in the T. Rowe Price funds for their customers. In such situa tions, T. Rowe Price cannot always monitor trading activity by u nderlying s hareholders. However, T. Rowe Price reviews trading activity at the omnibus account level and looks for activity that indicates potential excessive or short term trading. If it detects suspicious trading activity, T. Rowe Price contacts the intermediary to determine whether the excessive trading policy has been violated and may request and receive personal identifying informa tion and transaction histories for some or all underlying shareholders (including plan participants) to make this determination . If T. Rowe Price believes that its excessive trading policy has been violated , it will instruct the intermediary to take action with respect to the underlying shareholder .

Retirement P lans

If shares are held in a retirement plan, generally the fund`s excessive trading policy only applies to shares pur chased and redeemed by exchange. However, the policy may apply to transactions other than exchanges depending on how shares of the plan are held at T. Rowe Price or how the excessive trading policy is applied by your plan`s recordkeeper. To determine which of your transactions are subject to the fund`s excessive trading policy , you should contact T. Rowe Price or your plan recordkeeper.

Exceptions to P olicy

The following types of transactions are generally exempt from this policy: 1) trades solely in money funds (exchanges between a money fund and a nonmoney fund are not exempt); 2) systematic purchases and redemp tions (see Information About Your Services); and 3) checkwriting redemptions f r o m bond and money funds .

In addition, transactions in systematic nondiscretionary rebalancing programs , nondiscretionary asset allocation programs , or fund - of - fund s products may be exempt from the excessive trading policy subject to prior written approval by designated persons at T. Rowe Price.

<R>

T. Rowe Price may modify the 90-day policy set forth above (for example, in situations where a retirement plan or retirement plan recordkeeper has restriction s on trading that differ from a T. Rowe Price fund`s policy). These modifications would be authorized only if the fund believes that the modified policy would provide protection to the fund that is reasonably equivalent to the fund`s regula r p olicy. If you are tradin g your fund shares through an intermediary, you should consult with the intermediary to determine the excessive trading policy that applies to your trades in the fund.

</R>

There is no guarantee that T. Rowe Price will be able to detect or prevent excessive or short-term trading.

Keeping Your Account Open

<R>

Due to the relatively high cost to a fund of maintaining small accounts, we ask you to maintain an account bal ance of at least $1,000 ($10,000 for Summit Funds). If your balance is below this amount for three months or longer, we have the right to r edeem your account at the current NAV a fter giving you 60 days to increase your balance. This could result in a taxable gain.

</R>

Signature Guarantees

A signature guarantee is designed to protect you and the T. Rowe Price fu nds from fraud by verifying your signature.

You may need to have your signature guaranteed in certain situations, such as:

Written requests : ( 1) to redeem over $100,000 ; or ( 2) to wire redemption
proceeds when prior bank account authorization is not on file .

Remitting redemption proceeds to any person, address, or bank account not on record.

Transferring redemption proceeds to a T. Rowe Price fund account with a different registration (name or owner ship) from yours.

Establishing certain services after the account is opened.

You can obtain a signature guarantee from most banks, savings institutions,
broker-dealers, and other guarantors acceptable to T. Rowe Price . We cannot accept guarantees from notaries public or organizations that do not provide reimbursement in the case of fraud.

Account Maintenance and Small Account Fees

<R>

Small Account Fee (all funds except Index Funds) Because of the disproportionately high costs of servicing accounts with low balances, a $10 fee, paid to T. Rowe Price Services, the funds` transfer agent, will be deducted automat ically from nonretirement accounts with balances falling below a minimum amount. The valuation of accounts and the deduction are expected to take place during the last five business days of September. The fee will be deducted from accounts with balances below $2,000, except for UGMA/UTMA accounts, for which the mini mum is $500. The fee will be waived for any investor whose T. Rowe Price mutual fund accounts total $25,000 or more. Accounts employing automatic investing (e.g., payroll deduction, automatic purchase from a bank account, etc.) are also exempt from the charge. The fee does not apply to IRAs and other retirement plan accounts that utilize a prototype plan sponsored by T. Rowe Price, but a separate custodial or administrative fee may apply to such accounts.

</R>

<R>

Account Maintenance Fee (Index Funds only) An annual $10 account maintenance fee is charged on a quarterly basis ($2.50 per quarter) usually during the last week of a calendar quarter . On the day of the assessment, accounts with balances below $10,000 will be charged the fee. Please note that the fee will be charged to accounts that fall below $10,000 for any reason, including market fluctuations, redemptions, or exchanges. The fee will apply to IRA accounts. The fee does not apply to retirement plans directly registered with T. Rowe Price Services or accounts maintained by intermediaries through NSCC ® Networking .

More About the Funds 3

Organization and Management

How are the funds organized?

<R>

T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. , (the "corporation") , was incorporated in Maryland in 1979. C urrently , the corporation consists of 1 4 series, each representing a separate pool of assets with different objectives and investment policies. Each is an " open-end management investment company, " or mutual fund. Mutual funds pool money received from shareholders and invest it to try to achieve specified objectives.

</R>

What is meant by "shares"?

As with all mutual funds, investors purchase shares when they put money in a fund. These shares are part of a fund`s authorized capital stock, but share certificates are not issued.

Each share and fractional share entitles the shareholder to:

Receive a proportional interest in income and capital gain distributions.

Cast one vote per share on certain fund matters, including the election of fund directors/trustees , changes in fundamental policies, or approval of changes in the fund`s management contract.

Do T. Rowe Price funds have annual shareholder meetings?

The funds are not required to hold annual meetings and, to avoid unnecessary costs to fund shareholders, do not do so except when certain matters, such as a change in fundamental policies, must be decided. In addition, shareholders representing at least 10% of all eligible votes may call a special meeting for the purpose of voting on the removal of any fund director or trustee. If a meeting is held and you cannot attend, you can vote by proxy. Before the meeting, the fund will send or make available to you proxy materials that explain the issues to be decided and include instructions on voting by mail or telephone or on the Internet.

Who runs the funds?

General Oversight

Each fund is governed by a Board of Directors /Trustees that meets regularly to review fund investments, perfor mance, expenses, and other business affairs. The Board elects the funds` officers. At least 75% of Board members are independent of T. Rowe Price International.

All decisions regarding the purchase and sale of fund investments are made by T. Rowe Price International — specifically by each fund`s portfolio manager .

Investment Manager

T. Rowe Price International is responsible for the selection and management of fund portfolio investments. The U.S. office of T. Rowe Price International is located at 100 East Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202.

Portfolio Management

T. Rowe Price International has established an Investment Advisory Committee with respect to each fund . The committee chairman has day-to-day responsibility for managing the portfolio and works with the committee in developing and executing each fund`s investment program. The members of each advisory committee are listed below . The Statement of Additional Information provides additional information about the portfolio managers` compensation, other accounts managed by the portfolio managers, and the portfolio managers` ownership of securities in the fund s .

<R>

Emerging Markets Bond Fund Michael J. Conelius, Chairman, Bridget M. Ebner, Ian D. Kelson, Christopher J. Kushlis, Michael D. Oh, Christopher J. Rothery , and Julie A. Salsbery . Mr. Conelius joined T. Rowe Price International in 1995 and h is investment experience dates from 19 8 9 .

</R>

The Management Fee

<R>

This fee has two parts — an "individual fund fee," which reflects a fund`s particular characteristics, and a "group fee." The group fee, which is designed to reflect the benefits of the shared resources of the T. Rowe Price invest ment management complex, is calculated daily based on the combined net assets of all T. Rowe Price funds (except the Spectrum Funds, Retirement Funds, TRP Reserve Investment Funds, and any index or private label mutual funds). The group fee schedule ( in the following table ) is graduated, declining as the asset total rises, so shareholders benefit from the overall growth in mutual fund assets. Group Fee Schedule

0.334%*	First $50 billion

0.305%	Next $30 billion

0.300%	Next $40 billion

0.295%	Next $40 billion

0.29 0 %	Next $60 billion

0.285%	Thereafter

</R>

* Represents a blended group fee rate containing various break points.

<R>

Each fund`s group fee is determined by applying the group fee rate to the fund`s average daily net assets. A t . December 31, 2007 , the effective annual group fee rate was 0.3 0 % . The individual fund fees are as follows: Emerging Markets Bond Fund, 0.45%; and International Bond Fund, 0.35% .

</R>

A discussion about the factors and conclusions considered by the Board in approving each fund`s investment management contract with T. Rowe Price International appears in each fund`s semiannual report to sharehold ers for the period end ed June 30 .

Fund Operations and Shareholder Services

<R>

T. Rowe Price provides accounting services to the T. Rowe Price funds. T. Rowe Price Services, Inc. , acts as the transfer and dividend disbursing agent and provides shareholder and administrative services to the funds . T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc., provides recordkeeping, sub-transfer agency, and administrative services for certain types of retirement plans investing in the funds. These companies receive compensation from the funds for their services. The funds may also pay third-party intermediaries for performing shareholder and administrative services for underlying shareholders in omnibus accounts. Each fund also serves as an underlying fund in which certain fund-of-funds
products, the T. Rowe Price Spectrum and/or Retirement Funds, invest. Subject to approval by each fund`s Board of Directors, each fund bears a proportional share of the operating expenses of the fund-of-funds products. All of the fees discussed above are included in the fees and expenses table under " Other expenses " and in the funds` financial statements .

</R>

Understanding Performance Information

This section should help you understand the terms used to describe fund performance. You will come across them in shareholder reports you receive from us, in our educational and informational materials, in T. Rowe Price advertisements, and in the media.

Total Return

This tells you how much an investment has changed in value over a given period. It reflects any net increase or decrease in the share price and assumes that all dividends and capital gains (if any) paid during the period were reinvested in additional shares. Therefore, total return numbers include the effect of compounding.

Advertisements may include cumulative or average annual total return figures, which may be compared with var ious indices, other performance measures, or other mutual funds.

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

Cumulative Total Return

This is the actual return of an investment for a specified period. A cumulative return does not indicate how much the value of the investment may have fluctuated during the period. For example, an investment could have a 10-year positive cumulative return despite experiencing some negative years during that time.

Average Annual Total Return

<R>

This is always hypothetical and should not be confused with actual year-by-year results. It smooths out variations in annual performance to tell you what constant year-by-year return would have produced the investment`s actual cumulative return. This gives you an idea of an investment`s annual contribution to your portfolio, provided you held it for the entire period.

</R>

Yield

The current or "dividend" yield on a fund or any investment tells you the relationship between the investment`s current level of annual income and its price on a particular day. The dividend yield reflects the actual income paid to shareholders for a given period, annualized and divided by the price at the end of the period. For exam ple, a fund providing $5 of annual income per share and a price of $50 has a current yield of 10%. Yields can be calculated for any time period.

For bond funds, t he advertised or SEC yield is found by determining the net income per share (as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission) earned by a fund during a 30-day base period and dividing this amount by the share price on the last day of the base period. The SEC yield , also called the standardized yield , may differ from the dividend yield.

Investment Policies and Practices

This section takes a detailed look at some of the types of fund securities and the various kinds of investment practices that may be used in day-to-day portfolio management. Fund investments are subject to further restric tions and risks described in the Statement of Additional Information.

<R>

Shareholder approval is required to substantively change fund objectives . Shareholder approval is also required to change certain investment restrictions noted in the following section as "fundamental policies." The managers also follow certain "operating policies" that can be changed without shareholder approval. Shareholders will receive at least 60 days` prior notice of a change in the policy requiring the fund to normally invest at least 80% of net assets in 1) bonds (International Bond) and 2) government or corporate debt securities of emerging nations (Emerging Markets Bond). Fund investment restrictions and policies apply at the time of purchase . A later change in circumstances will not require the sale of an investment if it was proper at the time it was made. (This exception does not apply to the funds` borrowing policy . )

</R>

Fund holdings of certain kinds of investments cannot exceed maximum percentages of total assets, which are set forth in this prospectus. For instance, fund investments in certain derivatives are limited to 10% of total assets. While these restrictions provide a useful level of detail about fund investments, investors should not view them as an accurate gauge of the potential risk of such investments. For example, in a given period, a 5% investment in derivatives could have significantly more of an impact on a fund`s share price than its weighting in the portfolio. The net effect of a particular investment depends on its volatility and the size of its overall return in relation to the performance of all other fund investments.

Changes in fund holdings, fund performance, and the contribution of various investments are discussed in the shareholder reports sent to you.

Fund managers have considerable discretion in choosing investment strategies and selecting securities they believe will help achieve fund objectives.

Types of Portfolio Securities

In seeking to meet their investment objectives, fund investments may be made in any type of security or instru ment (including certain potentially high-risk derivatives described in this section) whose investment characteris tics are consistent with their investment programs. The following pages describe various types of fund securities and investment management practices.

<R>

Debt Securities

</R>

<R>

The funds` investments may include but shall not be limited to: (1) d ebt obligations issued or guaranteed by: (a) a foreign sovereign government or one of its agencies, authorities, instrumentalities, or political subdivisions, including a foreign state, province, or municipality, and (b) supranational organizations such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, European Investment Bank, and European Economic Community; (2) d ebt obliga tions: (a) of foreign banks and bank holding companies, and (b) of domestic banks and corporations issued in foreign currencies; and (3) f oreign corporate debt securities and commercial paper. Such securities may take a variety of forms including those issued in the local currency of the issuer, Brady bonds, Euro bonds, and euro- denominated bonds . Normally, the International Bond Fund will only purchase bonds denominated in foreign currencies (other than Brady and other emerging market bonds).

</R>

The Emerging Markets Bond Fund may also invest in: such dollar-denominated fixed - income securities as (1) d ebt obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies or instrumentalities; (2) d omestic corporate debt securities; (3) d omestic commercial paper, including commercial paper indexed to certain specific foreign currency exchange rates; (4) d ebt obligations of domestic banks and bank holding compa nies; and (5) c ollateralized mortgage obligations or asset-backed bonds. The funds may from time to time pur chase securities on a when-issued basis, invest in repurchase agreements, and purchase bonds convertible into equities.

Nondiversified Investment Company

The funds are able to invest more than 5% of their assets in the fixed - income securities of individual foreign governments. Each fund generally will not invest more than 5% of its assets in any individual corporate issuer, provided that (1) a fund may place assets in bank deposits or other short-term bank instruments with a matu rity of up to 30 days provided that (a) the bank has a short-term credit rating of A1+ (or, if unrated, the equiva lent as determined by T. Rowe Price International) and (b) a fund will not maintain more than 10% of its total assets with any single bank; and (2) a fund may maintain more than 5% of its total assets, including cash and currencies, in custodial accounts or deposits of each fund`s custodian or sub-custodians.

<R>

In addition, each fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company for purposes of the Internal Reve nue Code. This requires each fund to limit its investments so that, at the end of each fiscal quarter, with respect to 50% of its total assets, no more than 5% of its assets is invested in the securities of a single issuer, and not more than 10% of the voting securities of any issuer are held by each fund. W ith respect to the remaining 50% of fund assets , no more than 25% may be invested in a single issuer. Since each fund is a nondiversified invest ment company and is permitted to invest a greater proportion of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers, the funds may be subject to greater credit risk with respect to their portfolio securities and greater volatility with respect to their share prices than an investment company that is more broadly diversified.

</R>

Hybrid Instruments

<R>

These instruments (a type of potentially high-risk derivative) can combine the characteristics of securities, futures, and options. For example, the principal amount or interest rate of a hybrid could be tied (positively or negatively) to the price of some commodity, currency, or securities index or another interest rate (each a "bench mark"). Hybrids can be used as an efficient means of pursuing a variety of investment goals, including currency hedging, duration management, and increased total return. Hybrids may or may not bear interest or pay divi dends. The value of a hybrid or its interest rate may be a multiple of a benchmark and, as a result, may be lever aged and move (up or down) more steeply and rapidly than the benchmark. These benchmarks may be sensitive to economic and political events, such as commodity shortages and currency devaluations, wh ich cannot be readily foreseen by the purchaser of a hybrid. Under certain conditions, the redemption value of a hybrid could be zero. Thus, an investment in a hybrid may entail significant market risks that are not associated with a similar investment in a traditional, U.S. dollar-denominated bond that has a fixed principal amount and pays a fixed rate or floating rate of interest. The purchase of hybrids also exposes the funds to the credit risk of the issuer of the hybrid. These risks may cause significant fluctuations in the net asset value of the funds.

</R>

Hybrids can have volatile prices and limited liquidity, and their use may not be successful.

Operating policy Fund investments in hybrid instruments are limited to 10% of total assets.

<R>

Illiquid Securities

These securities include private placements that are sold directly to a small number of investors, usually institu tions. Unlike public offerings, such securities are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Although certain of these securities may be readily sold, for example, under Rule 144A, others may have resale restrictions and be illiquid . The sale of illiquid securities may involve substantial delays and additional costs , and the funds may only be able to sell such securities at prices substantially less than what the funds believe they are worth .

Operating policy Fund investments in illiquid securities are limited to 15% of net assets.

Loan Participations and Assignments

Large loans to corporations or governments, including governments of less-developed countries (LDCs), may be shared or syndicated among several lenders, usually banks. Each fund could participate in such syndicates, or could buy part of a loan, becoming a direct lender. Participations and assignments involve special types of risk, including limited marketability and the risks of being a lender. If a fund purchases a participation, it may only be able to enforce its rights through the lender, and it may assume the credit risk of the lender in addition to the borrower. In assignments, the funds` rights against the borrower may be more limited than those held by the original lender.

Operating policy The International Bond Fund may not invest more than 5% and the Emerging Markets Bond . Fund not more than 20% . of total assets in loan participations and assignments.

<R>

High-Yield, High-Risk Bonds

</R>

While investments in high-yield, lower-quality securities offer the opportunity for substantial income and capi tal appreciation, there are significant risks associated with such investments, including:

Greater credit risk Companies and governments issuing lower-rated bonds are not as strong financially as those with higher credit ratings, and their bonds are often viewed as speculative investments. Such issuers are more vulnerable to real or perceived business setbacks and to changes in the economy, such as a recession, that might impair their ability to make timely interest and principal payments. Certain less-developed governments have in the past defaulted on payment of interest and principal on debt they have issued. As a result, your fund man ager relies heavily on proprietary T. Rowe Price International research when selecting these investments.

Reduced market liquidity High-yielding emerging market bonds are generally less "liquid" than higher-quality bonds issued by companies and governments in developed countries. Consequently, large purchases or sales of certain high-yield, emerging market debt issues may cause significant changes in their prices. Because many of these bonds do not trade frequently, when they do trade, their price s may be substantially higher or lower than had been expected. A lack of liquidity also means that judgment may play a bigger role when seeking to establish the fair value of the securities.

Other factors The major factor influencing prices of high-quality bonds is changes in interest rate levels; but this is only one of several factors affecting prices of lower-quality bonds. Because the credit quality of the issuer is lower, such bonds are more sensitive to developments affecting the issuer`s underlying fundamentals, such as changes in financial condition, or a given country`s economy in general. In addition, the entire bond market in an emerging market can experience sudden and sharp price swings due to a variety of factors, including changes in economic forecasts, stock market activity, large or sustained sales by institutional investors, a high-profile default, a political upheaval of some kind, or just a change in the market`s psychology. This type of volatility is usually associated more with stocks than bonds, but investors in lower-quality bonds should also anticipate it.

Since mutual funds can be a major source of demand in certain markets, substantial cash flows into and out of these funds can affect high-yield bond prices. If, for example, a significant number of funds were to sell bonds to meet shareholder redemptions, both bond prices and a fund`s share price could fall more than underlying fundamentals might justify.

Defaulted bonds are acquired only if the fund manager foresees the potential for significant capital appreciation.

various currencies (although typically in the U.S. dollar). They are often fully collateralized as to principal in U.S. Treasury zero coupon bonds. However, even with this collateralization feature, Brady bonds are often considered speculative, below investment-grade investments because the timely payment of interest is the responsibility of the issuing party (for example, a Latin American country) and the value of the bonds can fluctuate significantly based on the issuer`s ability or perceived ability to make these payments. Finally, some Brady bonds may be structured with floating rate or low fixed-rate coupons.

Operating policy The International Bond Fund may invest up to 20% of total assets in below investment-grade ("junk") bonds. The Emerging Markets Bond Fund may invest substantially all of its assets in such bonds.

Emerging Markets Bond Fund

Convertible Bonds Convertible bonds are debt instruments convertible into equity of the issuing company at cer tain times in the future and according to a certain exchange ratio. Typically, convertible bonds are callable by the company, which may, in effect, force conversion before the holder would otherwise choose.

While the fund intends to invest primarily in debt securities, it may invest in convertible bonds or equity securi ties. While some countries or companies may be regarded as favorable investments, pure fixed - income opportu nities may be unattractive or limited due to insufficient supply, or legal or technical restrictions. In such cases, the fund may consider equity securities or convertible bonds to gain exposure to such markets.

Operating policy The fund may invest up to 10% of total assets in convertible bonds and equity securities.

Concentration of Investments From time to time, the fund may invest more than 25% of its total assets in the secu rities of foreign governmental and corporate entities located in the same country. However, the fund will not invest more than 25% of its total assets in any single foreign governmental issuer or in two or more such issuers subject to a common, explicit guarantee.

Types of Investment Management Practices

Foreign Currency Transactions

Each fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (cash) basis at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time or through forward currency contracts ("forwards") with terms generally of less than one year. Forwards will be used primarily to adjust the foreign exchange exposure of each fund with a view to protecting the portfolio from adverse currency movements, based on T. Rowe Price International `s out look . Forwards can also be used in an effort to benefit from a currency believed to be appreciating in value ver sus other currencies. T he funds might be expected to enter into such contracts under the following circumstances:

Lock In When management desires to lock in the U.S. dollar price on the purchase or sale of a security denomi nated in a foreign currency.

Cross Hedge If a particular currency is expected to decrease against another currency, a fund may sell the cur rency expected to decrease and purchase a currency that is expected to increase against the currency sold in an amount approximately equal to some or all of a fund`s portfolio holdings denominated in the currency sold. A fund is not required to own securities in the currency purchased.

Operating policy The International Bond Fund does not normally involve more than 50% of its assets in cross- hedging.

Direct Hedge If T. Rowe Price International sought to eliminate substantially all of the risk of owning a particular currency or believed the portfolio could benefit from price appreciation in a given country`s bonds but did not want to hold the currency, it could employ a direct hedge back into the U.S. dollar. In either case, a fund would enter into a forward contract to sell the currency in which a portfolio security is denominated and purchase U.S. dollars at an exchange rate established at the time it initiated the contract. The cost of the direct hedge transaction may offset most, if not all, of the yield advantage offered by the foreign security, but a fund would hope to benefit from an increase (if any) in the value of the bond.

Generally , the International Bond Fund seeks to maintain little net exposure to the U.S. dollar. Thus, any U.S. dollar investments, including any hedges into the U.S. dollar, will normally be offset by hedges out of the U.S. dollar .

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

It is often not possible to effectively hedge the currency risk associated with emerging market bonds because their currency markets are not sufficiently developed.

Proxy Hedge T. Rowe Price International might choose to use a proxy hedge, which is less costly than a direct hedge. In this case, a fund, having purchased a bond, will sell a currency whose value is believed to be closely linked to the currency in which the bond is denominated. This type of hedging entails greater risk than a direct hedge because it is dependent on a stable relationship between the two currencies paired as proxies, and because the relationships can be very unstable at times.

Forward contracts involve other risks, including, but not limited to, significant volatility in currency markets. In addition, currency moves may not occur exactly as T. Rowe Price International expected, so use of forward con tracts could adversely affect a fund`s total return.

Costs of Hedging When a fund purchases a foreign bond with a higher interest rate than is available on U.S. bonds of a similar maturity, the additional yield on the foreign bond could be substantially lessened if the fund were to enter into a direct hedge by selling the foreign currency and purchasing the U.S. dollar.

This is what is known as the "cost" of hedging. Proxy hedging attempts to reduce this cost through an indirect hedge back to the U.S. dollar.

It is important to note that hedging costs are treated as capital transactions and are not, therefore, deducted from a fund`s dividend distribution and are not reflected in its yield. Instead, such costs will, over time, be reflected in a fund`s net asset value per share and total return .

Hedging may result in the application of the mark-to-market and straddle provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. These provisions could result in an increase (or decrease) in the amount of taxable dividends paid by the funds and could affect whether dividends paid by the funds are classified as capital gains or ordinary income.

Reserve Position

<R>

A certain portion of fund assets will be held in reserves. Fund reserve positions can consist of : 1) shares of one or both of the T. Rowe Price internal money funds ; 2) s hort-term, high-quality U.S. and foreign dollar-denominated money market securities, including repurchase agreements ; and 3) U.S. dollar or non-U.S. dollar currencies. For temporary, defensive purposes, there is no limit on fund investments in reserves. Significant investments in reserves could compromise the ability to achieve fund objectives . The reserve position provides flexibility in meeting redemptions, paying expenses, and in the timing of new investments and can serve as a short-term defense during periods of unusual market volatility . Non-U.S. dollar reserves are subject to currency risk.

</R>

Borrowing Money and Transferring Assets

Fund borrowings may be made from banks and other T. Rowe Price funds for temporary emergency purposes to facilitate redemption requests, or for other purposes consistent with fund policies as set forth in this prospectus. Such borrowings may be collateralized with fund assets, subject to restrictions.

Fundamental policy Borrowings may not exceed 33 1 / 3 % of total assets.

Operating policy Fund transfers of portfolio securities as collateral will not be made except as necessary in con nection with permissible borrowings or investments, and then such transfers may not exceed 33 1 / 3 % of total assets. Fund purchases of additional securities will not be made when borrowings exceed 5% of total assets.

Futures and Options

<R>

Futures, a type of potentially high-risk derivative, are often used to manage or hedge risk because they enable the investor to buy or sell an asset in the future at an agreed-upon price. Options, another type of potentially high- risk derivative, give the investor the right ( when the investor purchases the option), or the obligation ( when the investor "writes" or sells the option), to buy or sell an asset at a predetermined price in the future. Futures and options contracts may be bought or sold for any number of reasons, including: to manage exposure to changes in interest rates, bond prices, foreign currencies , and credit quality ; as an efficient means of increasing or decreasing fund overall exposure to certain markets ; in an effort to enhance income; to protect the value of portfolio securi ties; and to serve as a cash management tool . Call or put options may be purchased or sold on securities, financial indices, and foreign currencies.

</R>

Futures contracts and options may not always be successful hedges; their prices can be highly volatile; using them could lower fund total return; and the potential loss from the use of futures can exceed a fund`s initial investment in such contracts.

Operating policies Futures: Initial margin deposits on futures and premiums on options used for non-hedging purposes will not exceed 5% of net asset value. Options on securities: The total market value of securities cover ing call or put options may not exceed 25% of total assets. No more than 5% of total assets will be committed to premiums when purchasing call or put options.

Swaps

<R>

Fund investments may be made in interest rate, index, total return, currency, credit default , and other types of swap agreements , as well as options on swap s ( swap tions ) . All of these agreements are considered derivatives and, in certain cases, high-risk derivatives. Interest ra t e, index , and total return swaps are two-party contracts under which the fund and a counterparty, such as a broker or dealer, agree to exchange the returns (or differen tials in rates of return) earned or realized on particular predetermined investments or indices. Credit default swaps resemble insurance contracts in that the seller of the swap provides the buyer with protection against spe cific risks of the issuer, such as defaults and bankruptcies, in exchange for a premium from the buyer. Swaps and swap tions can be used for a variety of purposes, including: to manage fund exposure to changes in interest or foreign currency exchange rates and credit quality; as an efficient means of adjusting fund overall exposure to certain markets; in an effort to enhance income or total return or protect the value of portfolio securities; to serve as a cash management tool; and to adjust portfolio duration or credit exposure .

</R>

<R>

There are risks in the use of swaps and swap tions. S waps could result in losses if interes t or foreign currency exchange rate s or credit quality changes are not correctly anticipated by the fund. Total return swaps could result in losses if the reference index, security, or investments do not perform as anticipated . Credit default swaps can increase fund exposure to credit risk and could result in losses if we do not correctly evaluate the creditworthi ness of the company or government on which the credit default swap is based. The use of s waps and swap tions may not always be successful ; using them could lower fund total return , their prices can be highly volatile, and the potential loss from the use of swaps can exceed a fund`s initial investment in such instruments. Also, the other party to a swap agreement could default on its obligations or refuse to cash out a fund`s investment at a rea sonable price, which could turn an expected gain into a loss.

</R>

<R>

Operating policies A swap agreement with any single counterparty will not be entered into if the net amount owed or to be received under existing contracts with that party would exceed 5% of total assets or if the net amount owed or to be received by a fund under all outstanding swap agreements will exceed 10% of total assets . S wap tion s: The total market value of securities covering call or put options may not exceed 25% of total assets. No more than 5% of total assets will be committed to premiums when purchasing call or put options.

</R>

Lending of Portfolio Securities

Fund securities may be lent to broker-dealers, other institutions, or other persons to earn additional income. R isk s include the potential insolvency of the broker-dealer or other borrower that could result in delays in recov ering securities and capital losses. Additionally, losses could result from the reinvestment of collateral received on loaned securities in investments that default or do not perform well .

Fundamental policy The value of loaned securities may not exceed 33 1 / 3 % of total assets.

When-Issued Securities and Forward s

<R>

The funds may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis or may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. There is no limit on fund investments in these securities. The price of these securities is fixed at the time of the commitment to buy, but delivery and payment can take place a month or more later. During the interim period, the market value of the securities can fluctuate, and no interest accrues to the purchaser. At the time of delivery, the value of the securities may be more or less than the purchase or sale price. To the extent the funds remain fully or almost fully invested (in securities with a remaining maturity of more than one year) at the same time they purchase these securities, there will be greater fluctuations in the fund s` net asset value than if the funds did not purchase them.

</R>

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

Portfolio Turnover

Turnover is an indication of frequency of trading . The funds will not generally trade in securities for short-term profits, but, when circumstances warrant, securities may be purchased and sold without regard to the length of time held. Each time a fund purchases or sells a security, it incurs a cost. This cost is reflected in the funds` net asset value but not in their operating expenses. The higher the turnover rate, the higher the transaction costs and the greater the impact on the funds` total return. Higher turnover can also increase the possibility of taxable capi tal gain distributions . The funds` portfolio turnover rates are shown in the Financial Highlights table .

<R>

Country Classification of a Company

</R>

The funds ordinarily invest in the securities of at least three countries; however, they may invest in the securi ties of one country, including the U.S., for temporary defensive purposes.

<R>

In determining the country classification of a company, the funds will generally rely on the designations set forth by MSCI Barra, a prominen t provider of benchmarking indices and other investment tools.

</R>

Emerging Markets Bond Fund

The fund will normally invest at least 80 % of its net assets in the securities of emerging market governments or companies located (as defined above) in emerging market countries.

<R>

Credit Quality Considerations

</R>

<R>

The credit quality of many fund holdings is evaluated by rating agencies such as Moody`s and Standard & Poor`s on the basis of the issuer ` s ability to meet all required interest and principal payments. The highest ratings are assigned to issuers perceived to be the best credit risks. T. Rowe Price International research analysts also evalu ate all fund holdings, including those rated by outside agenc ies . Other things being equal, lower-rated bonds and other debt obligations have higher yields due to greater credit risk. High-yield bonds, also called "junk" bonds, are those rated below BBB.

</R>

<R>

Credit quality ratings are not guarantees. They are estimates of a n issuer ` s financial strength. Ratings can change at any time due to real or perceived changes in a n issuer ` s credit or financial fundamentals.

</R>

<R>

Table 6 shows the rating scale used by the major rating agencies. T. Rowe Price International considers publicly available ratings but emphasizes its own credit analysis when selecting investments.

Disclosure of Fund Portfolio Information

<R>

Each fund`s portfolio holdings are disclosed on a regular basis in its semi annual and annual reports to shareholders and on Form N-Q , which is filed with the SEC within 60 days of the funds` first and third fiscal quarter-end. In addition, each fund discloses its calendar quarter-end portfolio holdings on troweprice.com 15 calendar days after each quarter. Under certain conditions, up to 5% of each fund`s holdings may be included in this portfolio list without being individually identified. Generally, securities would not be individually identified if they are being actively bought or sold and it is determined that the quarter-end disclosure of the holding could be harmful to the funds. A security will not be excluded for these purposes from a fund`s quarter-end holdings disclosure for more than one year . Each fund also discloses its largest 10 holdings on troweprice. com on the seventh business day after each month-end . These holdings are listed in alphabetical order along with the aggregate percentage of each fund`s total assets th e y represent. The quarter-end portfolio will remain on the Web site for one year . Each monthly top 10 list will remain on the Web site for six months . A description of each fund`s p olicy and procedures with respect to the disclosure of portfolio information is in the Statement of Additional Information.

</R>

Financial Highlights

Table 7, which provides information about each fund`s financial history, is based on a single share outstanding throughout the periods shown. Each fund`s section of the table is part of each fund`s financial statements, which are included in its annual report and are incorporated by reference into the Statement of Additional Information (available upon request). The total returns in the table represent the rate that an investor would have earned or lost on an investment in each fund (assuming reinvestment of all dividends and distributions and no payment of account or [ if applicable ] redemption fees). The financial statements in the annual reports were audited by the funds` independent registered public accounting firm , PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP.

About the Fund 1

T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc.

T. Rowe Price International Bond Fund — Advisor Class — PAIBX

objective, strategy, risks, and expenses

A word about the fund`s name and structure. The Advisor Class is a share class of its respective T. Rowe Price fund and is not a separate mutual fund. The Advisor Class shares are designed to be sold only through brokers, dealers, banks, insurance companies, and other financial intermediaries that provide various distribution and administrative services .

What is the fund`s objective?

The fund seeks to provide high current income and capital appreciation by investing primarily in high-quality, nondollar-denominated bonds outside the U.S.

What is the fund`s principal investment strategy?

N ormally , the fund will invest at least 80% of net assets in bonds and 65% of net assets in high-quality (AA or better) foreign bonds . The fund may invest up to 20% of total assets in below investment-grade, high-risk bonds, including those in default or with the lowest rating. Up to 20% of total assets may be invested in U.S. dollar- denominated foreign bonds such as Brady and other emerging market bonds.

Certain i nvestment restrictions, such as a required minimum or maximum investment in a particular type of security, are measured at the time the fund purchases a security. The status, market value, maturity, credit qual ity, or other characteristics of the fund`s securities may change after they are purchased, and this may cause the amount of the fund`s assets invested in such securities to exceed the stated maximum restriction or fall below the stated minimum restriction. If any of these changes occur , it would not be considered a violation of the invest ment restriction. However, purchases by the fund during the time it is above or below the stated percentage restriction would be made in compliance with applicable restrictions.

For details about the fund`s investment program, please see the Investment Policies and Practices section.

What are the main risks of investing in the fund?

The fund is subject to the usual risks of fixed-income investing as well as the special risks of international invest ing.

<R>

Interest rate risk This risk refers to the decline in bond prices that accompanies a rise in the overall level of inter est rates. (Bond prices and interest rates move in opposite directions.) Because prices of long-term bonds are more sensitive to interest rate changes than prices of short-term bonds, the fund has greater interest rate risk than short-term bond funds.

</R>

<R>

Credit risk This risk is the chance that any of the fund`s holdings will have their credit ratings downgraded or will default (fail to make scheduled interest or principal payments), potentially reducing the fund`s income level and share price. The risk of default is much greater for emerging market bonds.

</R>

Nondiversified risk Because it is nondiversified, the fund can invest more of its assets in a smaller number of issu ers than diversified funds. Concentrating investments could result in greater potential losses than for funds investing in a broader variety of issues.

<R>

Currency risk This is the risk of a decline in the value of a foreign currency versus the U.S. dollar, which reduces the dollar value of securities denominated in that currency. The overall impact on the fund`s holdings can be sig nificant and long-lasting, depending on the currencies represented in the portfolio, how each one appreciates or depreciates in relation to the U.S. dollar , and whether currency positions are hedged. The fund normally is heavily exposed to foreign currencies, and, as a result, changes in currency exchange rates are likely to play a sig nificant role in fund performance . Currency trends are unpredictable, and to the extent the fund purchases and sells currencies, it will also be subject to the risk that its trading strategies, including efforts at hedging, will not succeed. Furthermore, hedging costs can be significant and reduce fund net asset value, and many emerging mar ket currencies cannot be effectively hedged.

</R>

Emerging market risk The fund`s investments in emerging markets are subject to the risk of abrupt and severe price declines. The economic and political structures of developing nations, in most cases, do not compare favor ably with the U.S. or other developed countries in terms of wealth and stability, and their financial markets often lack liquidity. These economies are less well developed and can be overly reliant on particular industries and more vulnerable to the ebb and flow of international trade and capital trade barrier s and other protectionist or retaliatory measure s. Some countries have legacies of hyperinflation and currency devaluations versus the dollar (which adversely affect returns to U.S. investors). Significant devaluations have occurred in recent years in vari ous emerging market countries. Governments of some emerging market countries have defaulted on their bonds , and investors in this sector must be prepared for similar events in the future.

<R>

</R>

Derivatives risk To the extent the fund uses futures, swaps, and other derivatives , it is exposed to additional vola tility and potential losses.

As with any mutual fund, there can be no guarantee the fund will achieve its objective.

The share price and income level of the fund will fluctuate with changing market conditions and interest rate levels. When you sell your shares, you may lose money.

How can I tell if the fund is appropriate for me?

Consider your investment goals, your time horizon for achieving them, and your tolerance for risk. If you are investing through an intermediary and are willing to accept the special risks associated with international invest ing and the general risks of investing in bonds to achieve current income and potential capital growth, this fund could be appropriate for you.

<R>

The fund can be used in both regular and tax-deferred accounts, such as an individual retirement amount ( IRA ) .

</R>

The fund should not represent your complete investment program or be used for short-term trading purposes.

How has the fund performed in the past?

The bar chart showing calendar year returns and the average annual total return s table indicate risk by illustrating how much returns can differ from one year to the next and how fund performance compares with that of a com parable market index. Past fund returns (before and after taxes) are not necessarily an indication of future perfor mance.

<R>

The fund can also experience short-term performance swings, as shown by the best and worst calendar quarter returns during the years depicted .

What are some of the advantages of investing in international fixed - income markets through mutual funds?

For more details on potential risks of foreign investments, please see t he Investment Policies and Practices section and the Statement of Additional Information.

How does the portfolio manager try to reduce risk?

Consistent with the fund`s objective, the portfolio manager uses various tools to try to reduce risk and increase total return, including:

Diversification of assets to reduce the impact of a single holding or sector on the fund`s net asset value.

Thorough credit research by our own analysts.

Management of the impact of foreign currency changes on the fund`s portfolio to the degree discussed previ ously under "currency risk."

Is there other information I can review before making a decision?

Information About Accounts in T. Rowe Price Funds 2

As a T. Rowe Price shareholder, you will want to know about the following policies and procedures that apply to all Advisor Class accounts.

Pricing Shares and Receiving Sale Proceeds

How and W hen S hares A re P riced

The share price (also called "net asset value" or NAV per share) for each class of shares is calculated at the close of the New York Stock Exchange, normally 4 p.m. ET, each day that the e xchange is open for business. To calculate the NAV, the fund`s assets are valued and totaled, liabilities are subtracted, and each class`s proportionate share of the balance, called net assets, is divided by the number of shares outstanding of that class. Market values are used to price stocks and bonds. Market values represent the prices at which securities actually trade or evaluations based on the judgment of the fund`s pricing services. If a market value for a security is not available, the fund will make a good faith effort to assign a fair value to the security. This value may differ from the value the fund receives upon sale of the securities. Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing NAV per share of the mutual fund on the day of valuation.

<R>

Non-U.S. equity securities are valued on the basis of the ir most recent closing market prices at 4 p.m. ET except under the circumstances described below . Most foreign markets close before 4 p.m . ET . For securities primarily traded in the Far East, for example, the most recent closing prices may be as much as 15 hours old at 4 p.m . ET . If a fund determines that developments between the close of a foreign market and 4 p.m. ET will, in its judgment, materially affect the value of some or all of the fund`s securities, the fund will adjust the previous closing prices to reflect what it believes to be the fair value of the securities as of 4 p.m. ET. In deciding whether to make these adjustments, the fund reviews a variety of factors, including developments in foreign markets, the performance of U.S. securities markets , and the performance of instruments trading in U.S. markets that represent foreign securi ties and baskets of foreign securities . The fund may also fair value securities in other situations, for example, when a particular foreign market is closed but the fund is open. The fund uses outside pricing services to provide it with closing market prices and information used for adjusting those prices. The fund cannot predict how often it will use closing prices and how often it will adjust those prices. As a means of evaluating its fair value process, the fund routinely compares closing market prices , the next day`s opening prices in the same markets, and adjusted prices. Other mutual funds may adjust the prices of their securities by different amounts.

Advisor Class shares are intended for purchase through various third-party intermediaries including brokers, dealers, banks, insurance companies, retirement plan recordkeepers, and others. Consult your intermediary to find out about how to purchase, sell, or exchange your shares, trade deadlines , and other applicable procedures for these transactions. The intermediary may charge a fee for its services.

</R>

<R>

The fund may have an agreement with your intermediary that permits the intermediary to accept orders on behalf of the fund until 4 p.m. ET. In such cases, if your order is received by the intermediary in correct form by 4 p.m. ET , transmitted to the fund , and paid for in accordance with the agreement, it will be priced at the next NAV computed after the intermediary received your order.

</R>

<R>

</R>

<R>

Note: The time at which transactions and shares are priced and the time until which orders are accepted by the fund or an intermediary may be changed in case of an emergency or if the New York Stock Exchange closes at a time other than 4 p.m. ET.

</R>

<R>

How P roceeds A re R eceived

</R>

<R>

Normally, the fund transmits proceeds to intermediaries for redemption orders received in correct form on either the next or third business day after receipt, depending on the arrangement with the intermediary. Under certain circumstances and when deemed to be in the fund`s best interests, proceeds may not be sent to interme diaries for up to seven calendar days after receipt of the redemption order. You must contact your intermediary about procedures for receiving your redemption proceeds.

T. Rowe Price Advisor Class F unds With Redemption Fees
Fund	Redemption fee	Holding period
Global Stock — Advisor Class	2%	90 days or less

International Bond — Advisor Class	2%	90 days or less
International Growth & Income — Advisor Class	2%	90 days or less
International Stock — Advisor Class	2%	90 days or less
Real Estate — Advisor Class	1%	90 days or less
Small-Cap Value — Advisor Class	1 %	90 days or less

Redemption fees are paid to a fund to deter short-term trading, offset costs, and protect the fund`s long-term shareholders. Subject to the exceptions described on the following pages, a ll persons holding shares of a T. Rowe Price fund that imposes a redemption fee are subject to the fee , whether the person is holding shares directly with a T. Rowe Price fund, through a retirement plan for which T. Rowe Price serves as recordkeeper, or indirectly through an intermediary, such as a broker, bank, investment adviser, recordkeeper for retirement plan participants, or any other third party .

Computation of H olding P eriod

When an investor sells shares of a fund that assesses a redemption fee, T. Rowe Price will use the "first in, first out" (FIFO) method to determine the holding period for the shares sold. Under this method, the date of redemp tion or exchange will be compared with the earliest purchase date of shares held in the account. A redemption fee will be charged on shares sold on or before the end of the required holding period. For example, if you redeem your shares on or before the 90th day from the date of purchase, you will be assessed the redemption fee. If you purchase shares through an intermediary, consult your intermediary to determine how the holding period will be applied.

Redemption F ees on S hares H eld in R etirement P lans

If shares are held in a retirement plan, generally redemption fees will be assessed on shares redeemed by exchange only if they were originally purchased by exchange. However, redemption fees may apply to transac tions other than exchanges depending on how shares of the plan are held at T. Rowe Price or how the fees are applied by your plan`s recordkeeper. To determine which of your transactions are subject to redemption fees, you should contact T. Rowe Price or your plan recordkeeper.

Omnibus A ccounts

<R>

Certain intermediaries may not apply the exemptions previously listed to the redemption fee policy; all redemp tions by persons trading through such intermediaries may be subject to the fee. Certain intermediaries may exempt transactions not liste d f rom redemption fees, if approved by T. Rowe Price. Persons redeeming shares th r ough an intermediary should check with the ir respective intermediary to determine which transactions are subject to the fees.

Tax Information

</R>

<R>

You should contact your intermediary for the tax information that will be sent to you and reported to the IRS.

</R>

<R>

</R>

If you invest in the fund through a taxable account, you will generally be subject to tax when:

You sell fund shares, including an exchange from one fund to another.

The fund makes a distribution to your account.

For individual shareholders, a portion of ordinary dividends representing " qualified dividend income " received by the fund may be subject to tax at the lower rate applicable to long-term capital gains, rather than ordinary income. You may report it as " qualif ied dividend income" in computing your taxes provided you have held the fund shares on which the dividend was paid for more than 60 days during the 12 1 -day period beginning 60 days before the ex-dividend date. Ordinary dividends that do not qualify for this lower rate are generally taxable at the investor`s marginal income tax rate. This includes the portion of ordinary dividends derived from interest, short- term capital gains, distributions from certain nonqualified foreign corporations, and dividends received by the fund from stocks that were on loan. Little, if any, of the ordinary dividends paid by the Real Estate Fund — Advisor Class or the bond f und Advisor Classes is expected to qualify for this lower rate.

For corporate shareholders, a portion of ordinary dividends may be eligible for the 70% deduction for divi dends received by corporations to the extent the fund`s income consists of dividends paid by U.S. corporations. Little, if any, of the ordinary dividends paid by the international or bond fund Advisor Classes is expected to qualify for this deduction.

<R>

R egular monthly dividends from the Tax-Free Income Fund — Advisor Class are expected to be exempt from fed eral income taxes. Exemption is not guaranteed since the fund has the right under certain conditions to invest in non exempt securities. You must report your total tax- free income on IRS Form 1040. The IRS uses this informa tion to help determine the tax status of any Social Security payments you may have received during the year. Tax- exempt dividends paid to Social Security recipients may increase the portion of benefits that is subject to tax.

</R>

If the Tax-Free Income Fund invests in certain "private activity" bonds, shareholders who are subject to the alternative minimum tax (AMT) must include income generated by these bonds in their AMT calculation . The portion of this fund`s income dividend that should be included in your AMT calculation, if any, will be reported to you in January.

Taxes on F und R edemptions

When you sell shares in any fund, you may realize a gain or loss. An exchange from one fund to another is a sale for tax purposes.

Taxes on F und D istributions

The tax treatment of a capital gain distribution is determined by how long the fund held the portfolio securities, not how long you held the shares in the fund. Short-term (one year or less) capital gain distributions are taxable at the same rate as ordinary income , and gains on securities held more than one year are taxed at the lower rates applicable to long-term capital gains . If you realized a loss on the sale or exchange of fund shares that you held six months or less, your short-term capital loss must be reclassified as a long-term capital loss to the extent of any long-term capital gain distribution s received during the period you held the shares. If you realize a loss on the sale or exchange of Tax-Free Income Fund — Advisor Class shares held six months or less, your capital loss is reduced by the tax-exempt dividends received on those shares. For funds investing in foreign securities, distribu tions resulting from the sale of certain foreign currencies, currency contracts, and the foreign currency portion of gains on debt securities are taxed as ordinary income. Net foreign currency losses may cause monthly or quar terly dividends to be reclassified as a return of capital.

<R>

If the fund qualifies and elects to pass through nonrefundable foreign income taxes paid to foreign governments during the year, your portion of such taxes will be reported to you as taxable income. However, you may be able to claim an offsetting credit or deduction on your tax return for those amounts. There can be no assurance that a fund will meet the requirements to pass through foreign income taxes paid. For the Tax-Free Income Fund — Advisor Class, g ains realized on the sale of market discount bonds with maturities beyond one year may be treated as ordinary income and cannot be offset by other capital losses. To the extent the fund invests in these securities, the likelihood of a taxable gain distribution will be increased.

</R>

<R>

Retirement Funds

</R>

<R>

Distributions by the underlying funds and changes in asset allocations may result in taxable distributions of ordinary income or capital gains.

</R>

<R>

Tax C onsequences of H edging

</R>

<R>

Entering into certain options, futures, swaps, and forward foreign exchange contracts and transactions may result in the application of the mark-to-market and straddle provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. These provisions could result in a fund being required to distribute gains on such transactions even though it did not close the contracts during the year or receive cash to pay such distributions. The fund may not be able to reduce its distributions for losses on such transactions to the extent of unrealized gains in offsetting positions.

</R>

<R>

Taxable d istributions are subject to tax whether reinvested in additional shares or received in cash.

If the fund receives a check or ACH transfer that does not clear or the payment is not received in a timely man ner, your purchase may be canceled. The intermediary will be responsible for a ny losses or expenses incurred by the fund or transfer agent . The fund and its agents have the right to reject or cancel any purchase, exchange, or redemption due to nonpayment.

<R>

Holds on I mmediate R edemptions: 10-day H old

</R>

<R>

If an intermediary sells shares that it just purchased and paid for by check or ACH transfer, the fund will process the redemption but will generally delay sending the proceeds for up to 10 calendar days to allow the check or transfer to clear. (The 10-day hold does not apply to purchases paid for by bank wire.)

</R>

<R>

Large Redemptions

</R>

<R>

Large redemptions can adversely affect a portfolio manager ` s ability to implement a fund ` s investment strategy by causing the premature sale of securities that would otherwise be held. The fund has the right (without prior notice) to pay all or part of redemption proceeds with securities from the fund`s portfolio rather than in cash ("redemption in-kind"). If this occurs, the securities will be selected by the fund in its absolute discretion and the redeeming shareholder or account will be responsible for disposing of the securities and bearing any associ ated costs.

</R>

Excessive and Short-Term Trading

T. Rowe Price may bar excessive and short-term traders from purchasing shares.

Excessive or short-term trading in fund shares may disrupt management of a fund and raise its costs. Short-term traders in funds investing in foreign securities may seek to take advantage of an anticipated difference between the price of the fund`s shares and price movements in overseas markets (see Pricing Shares and Receiving Sale Proceeds — How and W hen S hares A re P riced ). While there is no assurance that T. Rowe Price can prevent all excessive and short-term trading, the Board of Directors/Trustees of each fund has adopted the policy set forth below to deter such activity. Persons trading directly with T. Rowe Price or indirectly through intermediaries in violation of this policy or persons believed to be short-term traders may be barred for a minimum of 9 0 calendar days or permanently from further purchases of T. Rowe Price funds . Purchase transaction s placed by such per sons are subject to rejection without notice.

Omnibus A ccounts

<R>

Intermediaries often establish omnibus accounts in the T. Rowe Price funds for their customers. In such situa tions, T. Rowe Price cannot always monitor trading activity by underlying shareholders. However, T. Rowe Price reviews trading activity at the omnibus account level and looks for activity that indicates potential excessive or short term trading. If it detects suspicious trading activity, T. Rowe Price contacts the intermediary to determine whether the excessive trading policy has been violated and may request and receive personal identifying informa tion and transaction histories for some or all underlying shareholders (including plan participants) to make this determination. If T. Rowe Price believes that its excessive trading policy has been violated , it will instruct the intermediary to take action with respect to the underlying shareholder in accordance with the policy.

</R>

<R>

Retirement P lans

</R>

<R>

If shares are held in a retirement plan, generally the fund`s excessive trading policy only applies to shares pur chased and redeemed by exchange. However, the policy may apply to transactions other than exchanges depend ing on how shares of the plan are held at T. Rowe Price or how the excessive trading policy is applied by your plan`s recordkeeper. To determine which of your transactions are subject to the fund`s excessive trading policy, you should contact T. Rowe Price or your plan recordkeeper.

</R>

<R>

Exceptions to P olicy

</R>

<R>

The following types of transactions are generally exempt from this policy: 1) trades solely in money market funds (exchanges between a money fund and a non money fund are not exempt); 2) systematic purchases and redemp tions ; and 3 ) checkwriting redemptions from bond and money funds .

</R>

<R>

</R>

<R>

T. Rowe Price may modify the 90-day policy set forth above (for example, in situations where a retirement plan or retirement plan recordkeeper has restriction s on trading that differ fro m a T. Rowe Price fund`s policy). These modifications would be authorized only if the fund believes that the modified policy would provide protection to the fund that is reasonably equivalent to the fund`s regular policy. If you are trading your fund shares through an intermediary, you should consult with the intermediary to determine the excessive trading policy t h at applies to your trades in the fund.

</R>

<R>

There is no guarantee that T. Rowe Price will be able to detect or prevent excessive or short-term trading.

</R>

<R>

Signature Guarantees

</R>

<R>

An intermediary may need to obtain a signature guarantee in certain situations and should consult its T. Rowe Price Financial Institution Services representative.

</R>

<R>

You can obtain a signature guarantee from most banks, savings institutions, broker-dealers, and other guarantors acceptable to T. Rowe Price. We cannot accept guarantees from notaries public or organizations that do not provide reimbursement in the case of fraud.

</R>

<R>

distribution, shareholder servicing, and recordkeeping fees

</R>

<R>

The Advisor Class has adopted a 12b-1 plan under which it pays a fee at the rate of up to 0.25% of its average daily net assets per year to various unaffiliated intermediaries such as brokers, banks, insurance companies and retirement plan recordkeepers for distribution and/or shareholder servicing of the Advisor Class shares. Distribu tion payments may include payments to intermediaries for making the Advisor Class shares available to their cus tomers (e.g., providing the fund with "shelf space" or inclusion on a "preferred list" or "supermarket" platform). Shareholder servicing payments may include payments to intermediaries for providing shareholder support ser vices to existing shareholders of the Advisor Class. These payments may be more or less than the costs incurred by the intermediaries. Because the fees are paid from the Advisor Class net assets on an ongoing basis, they will increase the cost of your investment and, over time, could result in your paying more than with other types of sales charges. The Advisor Class may also separately compensate intermediaries at a rate of up to 0.10% of aver age daily net assets per year for various recordkeeping and transfer agent services they perform. These services include maintaining separate records for each customer, transmitting net purchase and redemption orders, mail ing shareholder confirmations and periodic statements , and providing telephonic support to respond to ques tions regarding the customer`s account.

</R>

<R>

Payment of these fees may influence your financial advisor`s recommendation of the fund or of any particular share class of the fund.

More About the Fund 3

Organization and Management

How is the fund organized?

<R>

T. Rowe Price International Funds, Inc. , (the "corporation") , was incorporated in Maryland in 1979. C urrently , the corporation consists of 1 4 series, each representing a separate pool of assets with different objectives and investment policies. Each is an " open-end management investment company, " or mutual fund. Mutual funds pool money received from shareholders of each class into a single portfolio and invest it to try to achieve specified objectives. In 2000, the International Bond Fund issued a separate class of shares known as the Advisor Class.

</R>

What is meant by "shares"?

As with all mutual funds, investors purchase shares when they put money in a fund. These shares are part of a fund`s authorized capital stock, but share certificates are not issued.

Each share and fractional share entitles the shareholder to:

Receive a proportional interest in income and capital gain distributions of the class. The income dividends for Advisor Class shares will generally differ from those of the original class to the extent that the expense ratios of the classes differ .

Cast one vote per share on certain fund matters, including the election of fund directors/trustees , changes in fundamental policies, or approval of changes in the fund`s management contract. Shareholders of each class have exclusive voting rights on matters affecting only that class.

Do T. Rowe Price funds have annual shareholder meetings?

Who runs the fund?

General Oversight

The fund is governed by a Board of Directors /Trustees that meets regularly to review fund investments, perfor mance, expenses, and other business affairs. The Board elects the fund`s officers. At least 75% of Board members are independent of T. Rowe Price International.

All decisions regarding the purchase and sale of fund investments are made by T. Rowe Price International — specifically by the fund`s portfolio manager .

Investment Policies and Practices

<R>

Shareholder approval is required to substantively change fund objectives . Shareholder approval is also required to change certain investment restrictions noted in the following section as "fundamental policies." The managers also follow certain "operating policies" that can be changed without shareholder approval. Shareholders will receive at least 60 days` prior notice of a change in the policy requiring the fund to normally invest at least 80% of net assets in bonds. Fund investment restrictions and policies apply at the time of purchase . A later change in cir cumstances will not require the sale of an investment if it was proper at the time it was made. (This exception does not apply to the fund`s borrowing policy . )

</R>

Changes in fund holdings, fund performance, and the contribution of various investments are discussed in the shareholder reports sent to you.

Fund managers have considerable discretion in choosing investment strategies and selecting securities they believe will help achieve fund objectives.

Types of Portfolio Securities

In seeking to meet its investment objective, fund investments may be made in any type of security or instrument (including certain potentially high-risk derivatives described in this section) whose investment characteristics are consistent with its investment program. The following pages describe various types of fund securities and invest ment management practices.

<R>

Debt Securities

</R>

<R>

The fund`s investments may include but shall not be limited to: (1) d ebt obligations issued or guaranteed by: (a) a foreign sovereign government or one of its agencies, authorities, instrumentalities, or political subdivisions, including a foreign state, province, or municipality, and (b) supranational organizations such as the World Bank, Asian Development Bank, European Investment Bank, and European Economic Community; (2) d ebt obliga tions: (a) of foreign banks and bank holding companies, and (b) of domestic banks and corporations issued in foreign currencies; and (3) f oreign corporate debt securities and commercial paper. Such securities may take a variety of forms including those issued in the local currency of the issuer, Brady bonds, Euro bonds, and euro- denominated bonds . Normally, the fund will only purchase bonds denominated in foreign currencies (other than Brady and other emerging market bonds). The fund may from time to time purchase securities on a when-issued basis, invest in repurchase agreements, and purchase bonds convertible into equities.

</R>

Nondiversified Investment Company

The fund is able to invest more than 5% of its assets in the fixed - income securities of individual foreign govern ments. The fund generally will not invest more than 5% of its assets in any individual corporate issuer, pro vided that (1) the fund may place assets in bank deposits or other short-term bank instruments with a maturity of up to 30 days provided that (a) the bank has a short-term credit rating of A1+ (or, if unrated, the equivalent

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

as determined by T. Rowe Price International) and (b) a fund will not maintain more than 10% of its total assets with any single bank; and (2) a fund may maintain more than 5% of its total assets, including cash and curren cies, in custodial accounts or deposits of the fund`s custodian or sub-custodians.

<R>

In addition, the fund intends to qualify as a regulated investment company for purposes of the Internal Revenue Code. This requires the fund to limit its investments so that, at the end of each fiscal quarter, with respect to 50% of its total assets, no more than 5% of its assets is invested in the securities of a single issuer, and not more than 10% of the voting securities of any issuer are held by the fund. W ith respect to the remaining 50% of fund assets , no more than 25% may be invested in a single issuer. Since the fund is a nondiversified investment com pany and is permitted to invest a greater proportion of its assets in the securities of a smaller number of issuers, the fund may be subject to greater credit risk with respect to its portfolio securities and greater volatility with respect to its share price than an investment company that is more broadly diversified.

</R>

Hybrid Instruments

These instruments (a type of potentially high-risk derivative) can combine the characteristics of securities, futures, and options. For example, the principal amount or interest rate of a hybrid could be tied (positively or negatively) to the price of some commodity, currency, or securities index or another interest rate (each a "bench mark"). Hybrids can be used as an efficient means of pursuing a variety of investment goals, including currency hedging, duration management, and increased total return. Hybrids may or may not bear interest or pay divi dends. The value of a hybrid or its interest rate may be a multiple of a benchmark and, as a result, may be lever aged and move (up or down) more steeply and rapidly than the benchmark. These benchmarks may be sensitive to economic and political events, such as commodity shortages and currency devaluations, wh ich cannot be readily foreseen by the purchaser of a hybrid. Under certain conditions, the redemption value of a hybrid could be zero. Thus, an investment in a hybrid may entail significant market risks that are not associated with a similar investment in a traditional, U.S. dollar-denominated bond that has a fixed principal amount and pays a fixed rate or floating rate of interest. The purchase of hybrids also exposes the fund to the credit risk of the issuer of the hybrid. These risks may cause significant fluctuations in the net asset value of the fund.

Hybrids can have volatile prices and limited liquidity, and their use may not be successful.

Operating policy Fund investments in hybrid instruments are limited to 10% of total assets.

Illiquid Securities

These securities include private placements that are sold directly to a small number of investors, usually institu tions. Unlike public offerings, such securities are not registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Although certain of these securities may be readily sold, for example, under Rule 144A, others may have resale restrictions and be illiquid . The sale of illiquid securities may involve substantial delays and additional costs , and the fund may only be able to sell such securities at prices substantially less than what the fund believes they are worth .

Operating policy Fund investments in illiquid securities are limited to 15% of net assets.

Loan Participations and Assignments

Large loans to corporations or governments, including governments of less-developed countries (LDCs), may be shared or syndicated among several lenders, usually banks. The fund could participate in such syndicates, or could buy part of a loan, becoming a direct lender. Participations and assignments involve special types of risk, including limited marketability and the risks of being a lender. If the fund purchases a participation, it may only be able to enforce its rights through the lender, and it may assume the credit risk of the lender in addition to the borrower. In assignments, the fund`s rights against the borrower may be more limited than those held by the original lender.

Operating policy The fund may not invest more than 5% of total assets in loan participations and assignments.

<R>

High-Yield, High-Risk Bonds

</R>

impair their ability to make timely interest and principal payments. Certain less-developed governments have in the past defaulted on payment of interest and principal on debt they have issued. As a result, your fund man ager relies heavily on proprietary T. Rowe Price International research when selecting these investments.

Defaulted bonds are acquired only if the fund manager foresees the potential for significant capital appreciation.

Brady Bonds Brady bonds, named after former U.S. Secretary of the Treasury Nicholas Brady, are used as a means of restructuring the external debt burden of a government in certain emerging markets. A Brady bond is created when an outstanding commercial bank loan to a government or private entity is exchanged for a new bond in connection with a debt restructuring plan. Brady bonds may be collateralized or uncollateralized and issued in various currencies (although typically in the U.S. dollar). They are often fully collateralized as to principal in U.S. Treasury zero coupon bonds. However, even with this collateralization feature, Brady bonds are often considered speculative, below investment-grade investments because the timely payment of interest is the responsibility of the issuing party (for example, a Latin American country) and the value of the bonds can fluctuate significantly based on the issuer`s ability or perceived ability to make these payments. Finally, some Brady bonds may be structured with floating rate or low fixed-rate coupons.

Operating policy The fund may invest up to 20% of total assets in below investment-grade ("junk") bonds.

Types of Investment Management Practices

Foreign Currency Transactions

The fund may engage in foreign currency transactions either on a spot (cash) basis at the rate prevailing in the currency exchange market at the time or through forward currency contracts ("forwards") with terms generally of less than one year. Forwards will be used primarily to adjust the foreign exchange exposure of the fund with a view to protecting the portfolio from adverse currency movements, based on T. Rowe Price International `s out look . Forwards can also be used in an effort to benefit from a currency believed to be appreciating in value ver sus other currencies. T he fund might be expected to enter into such contracts under the following circumstances:

Lock In When management desires to lock in the U.S. dollar price on the purchase or sale of a security denomi nated in a foreign currency.

Cross Hedge If a particular currency is expected to decrease against another currency, the fund may sell the cur rency expected to decrease and purchase a currency that is expected to increase against the currency sold in an amount approximately equal to some or all of the fund`s portfolio holdings denominated in the currency sold. The fund is not required to own securities in the currency purchased.

Operating policy The fund does not normally involve more than 50% of its assets in cross-hedging.

<R>

</R>

Direct Hedge If T. Rowe Price International sought to eliminate substantially all of the risk of owning a particular currency or believed the portfolio could benefit from price appreciation in a given country`s bonds but did not want to hold the currency, it could employ a direct hedge back into the U.S. dollar. In either case, a fund would enter into a forward contract to sell the currency in which a portfolio security is denominated and purchase U.S. dollars at an exchange rate established at the time it initiated the contract. The cost of the direct hedge transaction may offset most, if not all, of the yield advantage offered by the foreign security, but the fund would hope to ben efit from an increase (if any) in the value of the bond.

Generally , the fund seeks to maintain little net exposure to the U.S. dollar. Thus, any U.S. dollar investments, including any hedges into the U.S. dollar, will normally be offset by hedges out of the U.S. dollar .

It is often not possible to effectively hedge the currency risk associated with emerging market bonds because their currency markets are not sufficiently developed.

Proxy Hedge T. Rowe Price International might choose to use a proxy hedge, which is less costly than a direct hedge. In this case, the fund, having purchased a bond, will sell a currency whose value is believed to be closely linked to the currency in which the bond is denominated. This type of hedging entails greater risk than a direct hedge because it is dependent on a stable relationship between the two currencies paired as proxies, and because the relationships can be very unstable at times.

Costs of Hedging When the fund purchases a foreign bond with a higher interest rate than is available on U.S. bonds of a similar maturity, the additional yield on the foreign bond could be substantially lessened if the fund were to enter into a direct hedge by selling the foreign currency and purchasing the U.S. dollar.

This is what is known as the "cost" of hedging. Proxy hedging attempts to reduce this cost through an indirect hedge back to the U.S. dollar.

Hedging may result in the application of the mark-to-market and straddle provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. These provisions could result in an increase (or decrease) in the amount of taxable dividends paid by the fund and could affect whether dividends paid by the fund are classified as capital gains or ordinary income.

Reserve Position

</R>

Borrowing Money and Transferring Assets

Fundamental policy Borrowings may not exceed 33 1 / 3 % of total assets.

Futures and Options

<R>

</R>

Swaps

<R>

</R>

<R>

</R>

<R>

Operating policies A swap agreement with any single counterparty will not be entered into if the net amount owed or to be received under existing contracts with that party would exceed 5% of total assets or if the net amount owed or to be received by the fund under all outstanding swap agreements will exceed 10% of total assets . S wap tion s: The total market value of securities covering call or put options may not exceed 25% of total assets. No more than 5% of total assets will be committed to premiums when purchasing call or put options.

</R>

Lending of Portfolio Securities

Fundamental policy The value of loaned securities may not exceed 33 1 / 3 % of total assets.

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

When-Issued Securities and Forward s

The fund may purchase securities on a when-issued or delayed delivery basis or may purchase or sell securities on a forward commitment basis. There is no limit on fund investments in these securities. The price of these securities is fixed at the time of the commitment to buy, but delivery and payment can take place a month or more later. During the interim period, the market value of the securities can fluctuate, and no interest accrues to the purchaser. At the time of delivery, the value of the securities may be more or less than the purchase or sale price. To the extent the fund remains fully or almost fully invested (in securities with a remaining maturity of more than one year) at the same time it purchases these securities, there will be greater fluctuations in the fund net asset value than if the fund did not purchase them.

Portfolio Turnover

Turnover is an indication of frequency of trading . The fund will not generally trade in securities for short-term profits, but, when circumstances warrant, securities may be purchased and sold without regard to the length of time held. Each time the fund purchases or sells a security, it incurs a cost. This cost is reflected in the fund`s net asset value but not in its operating expenses. The higher the turnover rate, the higher the transaction costs and the greater the impact on the fund`s total return. Higher turnover can also increase the possibility of taxable capi tal gain distributions . The fund`s portfolio turnover rate s are shown in the Financial Highlights table.

<R>

Country Classification of a Company

</R>

The fund ordinarily invests in the securities of at least three countries; however, it may invest in the securities of one country, including the U.S., for temporary defensive purposes.

<R>

In determining the country classification of a company, the fund will generally rely on the designations set forth by MSCI Barra, a prominen t provider of benchmarking indices and other investment tools.

Disclosure of Fund Portfolio Information

The fund`s portfolio holdings are disclosed on a regular basis in its semi annual and annual reports to shareholders and on Form N-Q , which is filed with the SEC within 60 days of the fund`s first and third fiscal quarter-end. In addition, the fund discloses its calendar quarter-end portfolio holdings on troweprice.com 15 calendar days after each quarter. Under certain conditions, up to 5% of the fund`s holdings may be included in this portfolio list without being individually identified. Generally, securities would not be individually identified if they are being actively bought or sold and it is determined that the quarter-end disclosure of the holding could be harmful to the fund. A security will not be excluded for these purposes from a fund`s quarter-end holdings disclosure for more than one year . The fund also discloses its largest 10 holdings on troweprice. com on the seventh business day after each month-end . These holdings are listed in alphabetical order along with the aggregate percentage of the fund`s total assets th e y represent. The quarter-end portfolio will remain on the Web site for one year . Each monthly top 10 list will remain on the Web site for six months . A description of the fund`s p olicy and procedures with respect to the disclosure of portfolio information is in the Statement of Additional Information.

Retirement and Spectrum Funds ( individually, a " F und-of- F unds" and collectively , " F unds-of- F unds")

The management of the business and affairs of the Funds-of-Funds is the responsibility of the Board of Directors ("Board") . In exercising their responsibilities, the Board, among other things, will refer to the Special Servicing Agreement and policies and guidelines included in an Application for an Exemptive Order (and accompanying Notice and Order) issued by the SEC in connection with the Spectrum Funds ( and which also applies to Retirement Funds). A majority of directors of the Funds-of-Funds are independent. However, the directors and officers of the Funds-of-Funds and certain directors and officers of T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International also serve in similar positions with most of the various Price Funds in which the Retirement and Spectrum Funds invest (collectively , "underlying Price funds" ). Thus, if the interests of the Funds-of-Funds and the underlying Price funds were ever to become divergent, it is possible that a conflict of interest could arise and affect how this latter group of persons fulfill their fiduciary duties to the Funds-of-Funds and the underlying Price funds. The directors of Funds-of-Funds believe they have structured the Funds-of-Funds to avoid these concerns. However, a situation could conceivably occur where proper action for the Funds-of-Funds could be adverse to the interests of an underlying Price fund, or the reverse could occur. If such a possibility arises, the directors and officers of the affected funds, T. Rowe Price, and T. Rowe Price International will carefully analyze the situation and take all steps they believe reasonable to minimize and, where possible, eliminate the potential conflict.

Term of Office and Length of Time Served

The directors serve until retirement, resignation, or election of a successor. The following table shows the year from which each director has served on each fund`s Board (or that of the corporation or trust of which the fund is a part) .

Portfolio Manager Compensation

Portfolio manager compensation consists primarily of a base salary, a cash bonus, and an equity incentive that usually comes in the form of a stock option grant. Occasionally, portfolio managers will also have the opportunity to participate in venture capital partnerships. Compensation is variable and is determined based on the following factors.

<R>

Investment performance over 1 -, 3 -, 5 -, and 10-year periods is the most important input. T. Rowe Price and T. Rowe Price International, as appropriate, evaluate s performance in absolute, relative, and risk-adjusted terms. Relative performance and risk-adjusted performance are determined with reference to the broad - based index ( e.g., S&P 500) and the Lipper index ( e.g . , Large-Cap Growth) set forth in the total returns table in the fund`s prospectus, al though other benchmarks may be used as well. Investment results are also measured against comparably managed funds of competitive investment management firms. The selection of comparable funds is approved by the applicable i nvestment s teering c ommittee (as described under the "Disclosure of Fund Portfolio Information" section) and those funds are the same ones presented to the directors of the Price Funds in their regular review of fund performance. Performance is primarily measured on a pre tax basis though tax efficiency is considered and is especially important for the Tax - Efficient Funds. C ompensation is viewed with a long - term time horizon. The more consistent a manager`s performance over time, the higher the compensation opportunity. The increase or decrease in a fund`s assets due to the purchase or sale of fund shares is not considered a material factor. In reviewing relative performance for fixed - income funds, a fund`s expense ratio is usually taken into account.

</R>

<R>

Contribution to our overall investment process is an important consideration as well. Sharing ideas with other portfolio managers, working effectively with and mentoring our younger analysts, and being good corporate citizens are important components of our long - term success and are highly valued.

</R>

<R>

All employees of T. Rowe Price, including portfolio managers, participate in a 401(k) plan sponsored by T. Rowe Price Group. In addition, all employees are eligible to purchase T. Rowe Price common stock through an employee stock purchase plan that features a limited corporate matching contribution. Eligibility for and participation in these plans is on the same basis as for all employees. Finally, all vice presidents of T. Rowe Price Group, including all portfolio managers, receive supplemental medical/hospital reimbursement benefits.

</R>

<R>

This compensation structure is used for all portfolios managed by the portfolio manager.

</R>

<R>

Conflicts of Interest

Portfolio managers at T. Rowe Price typically manage multiple accounts. These accounts may include, among others, mutual funds, separate accounts (assets managed on behalf of institutions such as pension funds, colleges and universities, foundations), and commingled trust accounts. Portfolio managers make investment decisions for each portfolio based on the investment objectives, policies, practices , and other relevant investment considerations that the managers believe are applicable to that portfolio. Consequently, portfolio managers may purchase (or sell) securities for one portfolio and not another portfolio. T. Rowe Price has adopted brokerage and trade allocation policies and procedures which it believes are reasonably designed to address any potential conflicts associated with managing multiple accounts for multiple clients. Also, as disclosed under the "Portfolio Manager`s Compensation" section, our portfolio managers` compensation is determined in the same manner with respect to all portfolios managed by the portfolio manager. Please see the "Portfolio Transactions" section of this Statement of Additional Information for more information on our brokerage and trade allocation policies .

T. Rowe Price funds may, from time to time, own shares of Morningstar, Inc. Morningstar is a provider of investment research to individual and institutional investors, and publishes ratings on mutual funds, including the Price Funds. T. Rowe Price pays Morningstar for a variety of products and services and manages the Morningstar retirement plan. In addition, Morningstar may provide investment consulting and investment management services to clients of T. Rowe Price.

Management Fee s

The funds pay the Investment Managers a fee ( "Fee" ) which consists of two components: a Group Management Fee ( "Group Fee" ) and an Individual Fund Fee ( "Fund Fee" ). The Fee is paid monthly to the Investment Managers on the first business day of the next succeeding calendar month and is calculated as described next.

The monthly Group Fee ( "Monthly Group Fee" ) is the sum of the daily Group Fee accruals ( "Daily Group Fee Accruals" ) for each month. The Daily Group Fee Accrual for any particular day is computed by multiplying the Price Funds` group fee accrual as determined below ( "Daily Price Funds` Group Fee Accrual" ) by the ratio of the Price Fund s ` net assets for that day to the sum of the aggregate net assets of the Price Funds for that day. The Daily Price Funds` Group Fee Accrual for any particular day is calculated by multiplying the fraction of one (1) over the number of calendar days in the year by the annualized Daily Price Funds` Group Fee Accrual for that day as determined in accordance with the following schedule:

0.480%	First $1 billion	0.360%	Next $2 billion	0.310%	Next $16 billion
0.450%	Next $1 billion	0.350%	Next $2 billion	0.305%	Next $30 billion
0.420%	Next $1 billion	0.340%	Next $5 billion	0.300%	Next $40 billion
0.390%	Next $1 billion	0.330%	Next $10 billion	0.295%	Next $40 billion
0.370%	Next $1 billion	0.320%	Next $10 billion	0.290%	Next $60 billion
				0.285%	Thereafter

For the purpose of calculating the Group Fee, the Price Funds include all the mutual funds distributed by Investment Services (excluding the Retirement Funds, Spectrum Funds, TRP Reserve Investment Funds, and any Index or private label mutual funds). For the purpose of calculating the Daily Price Funds` Group Fee Accrual for any particular day, the net assets of each Price Fund are determined in accordance with each fund`s prospectus as of the close of business on the previous business day on which the fund was open for business.

The monthly Fund Fee ( "Monthly Fund Fee" ) is the sum of the daily Fund Fee accruals ( "Daily Fund Fee Accruals" ) for each month. The Daily Fund Fee Accrual for any particular day is computed by multiplying the fraction of one (1) over the number of calendar days in the year by the individual fund fee . The product of this calculation is multiplied by the net assets of the fund for that day, as determined in accordance with the fund`s prospectus as of the close of business on the previous business day on which the fund was open for business.

The Investment Management Agreement between each Single Fee Fund and the Investment Managers provides that the Investment Managers will pay all expenses of each fund`s operations, except interest, taxes, brokerage commissions, and other charges incident to the purchase, sale, or lending of the fund`s portfolio securities, and such non-recurring or extraordinary expenses that may arise, including the costs of actions, suits, or proceedings to which the fund is a party and the expenses the fund may incur as a result of its obligation to provide indemnification to its officers, directors, and agents. However, the Boards for the funds reserve the right to impose additional fees against shareholder accounts to defray expenses which would otherwise be paid by the Investment Managers under the Investment Management Agreement. The Boards do not anticipate levying such charges; such a fee, if charged, may be retained by the funds or paid to the Investment Managers.

The Fee is paid monthly to the Investmen t Managers on the first business day of the next succeeding calendar month and is the sum of the Daily Fee accruals for each month. The Daily Fee accrual for any particular day is calculated by multiplying the fraction of one (1) over the number of calendar days in the year by the appropriate Fee. The product of this calculation is multiplied by the net assets of the fund for that day, as determined in accordance with each fund`s prospectus as of the close of business on the previous business day on which the fund was open for business.

The Investment Management Agreements between the funds and the Investment Managers provide that each fund will bear all expenses of its operations not specifically assumed by the Investment Managers.

For the purpose of determining whether a fund is entitled to expense limitation, the expenses of a fund are calculated on a monthly basis. If a fund is entitled to expense limitation, that month`s advisory fee will be reduced or postponed, with any adjustment made after the end of the year.

Except for the California and New York Funds, each of the above-referenced funds` Investment Management Agreement also provides that one or more additional expense limitation periods (of the same or different time periods) may be implemented after the expiration of the current expense limitation, and that with respect to any such additional limitation period, the funds may reimburse the Investment Managers, provided the reimbursement does not result in the funds` aggregate expenses exceeding the additional expense limitation. No reimbursement may be made by the California and New York Funds unless approved by shareholders.

Control of Investment Adviser

T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. ( "Group" ) is a publicly owned company and owns 100% of the stock of T. Rowe Price Associates , In c., which in turn indirectly owns 100% of T. Rowe Price International, Inc. Group was formed in 2000 as a holding company for the T. Rowe Price-affiliated companies.

DISTRIBUTOR FOR THE FUN D s

Investment Services, a Maryland corporation formed in 1980 as a wholly owned subsidiary of T. Rowe Price, serves as distributor for all T. Rowe Price mutual funds on a continuous basis . Investment Services is registered as a broker-dealer under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and is a member of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority, Inc. (" FINRA ").

Investment Services is located at the same address as the funds and T. Rowe Price — 100 East Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202.

Investment Services serves as distributor to the f und s , pursuant to an Underwriting Agreement ( "Underwriting Agreement" ), which provides that the funds (other than the Single-Fee Funds) will pay all fees and expenses in connection with necessary state filings; preparing, setting in type, printing, and mailing of prospectuses and reports to shareholders; and issuing shares, including expenses of confirming purchase orders. For the Single- Fee Funds, the Underwriting Agreement provides that Investment Services will pay, or will arrange for others to pay, all of these fees and expenses.

The Underwriting Agreement also provides that Investment Services will pay all fees and expenses in connection with printing and distributing prospectuses and reports for use in offering and selling fund shares; preparing, setting in type, printing, and mailing all sales literature and advertising; Investment Services` federal and state registrations as a broker-dealer; and offering and selling shares for each fund, except for those fees and expenses specifically assumed by the funds. Investment Services` expenses are paid by T. Rowe Price.

Investment Services acts as the agent of the fund s , in connection with the sale of fund shares in the various states in which Investment Services is qualified as a broker-dealer. Under the Underwriting Agreement, Investment Services accepts orders for fund shares at net asset value. Other than as described below with respect to the Advisor and R Class shares , n o sales charges are paid by investors or the fund s . No compensation is paid to Investment Services.

Distribution and Shareholder Services Plan

The fund d irectors adopted a p lan pursuant to Rule 12b-1 with respect to each Advisor and R Class (collectively "Class" ) . Each p lan provides that the Class may compensate Investment Services or such other persons as the fund s or Investment Services designates, to finance any or all of the distribution, shareholder servicing, maintenance of shareholder accounts, and/or other administrative services with respect to Class shares. It is expected that most, if not all, payments under the p lan will be made (either directly, or indirectly through Investment Services) to intermediaries other than Investment Services such as broker-dealers , banks, insurance companies, and retirement plan recordkeepers . Under the p lan, each Advisor Class pays a fee at the annual rate of up to 0.25% of that class`s average daily net assets and each R Class pays a fee at the annual rate of up to 0.50% of that class`s average daily net assets. Normally, the full amount of the fee is paid to the intermediary o n shares sold through that intermediary ; h owever, a lesser amount may be paid . In addition, the fee may be split among intermediaries based on the level of services provided by each . Intermediaries may use the payments for, among other purposes, compensating employees engaged in sales and/or shareholder servicing of the Class, as well as for a wide variety of other purposes associated with supporting, distributing, and servicing Class shares. The amount of fees paid by a Class during any year may be more or less than the cost of distribution and other services provided to the Class and its investors. FINRA rules limit the amount of annual distribution and service fees that may be paid by a mutual fund and impose a ceiling on the cumulative distribution fees paid. The p lan complies with these rules.

The p lan requires that Investment Services provide, or cause to be provided, a quarterly written report identifying the amounts expended by each Class and the purposes for which such expenditures were made to the fund d irectors for their review.

Prior to approving the p lan, the fund s considered various factors relating to the implementation of the p lan and determined that there is a reasonable likelihood that the p lan will benefit each fund, its Class, and the Class`s shareholders. The fund d irectors noted that to the extent the p lan allows a fund to sell Class shares in markets to which it would not otherwise have access, the p lan may result in additional sales of fund shares. This may enable a fund to achieve economies of scale that could reduce expenses. In addition, certain ongoing shareholder services may be provided more effectively by intermediaries with which shareholders have an existing relationship.

The p lan is renewable from year to year with respect to each fund, so long as its continuance is approved at least annually (1) by the vote of a majority of the fund d irectors and (2) by a vote of the majority of the funds ` independent directors cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. The p lan may not be amended to increase materially the amount of fees paid by any Class thereunder unless such amendment is approved by a majority vote of the outstanding shares of such Class and by the fund d irectors in the manner prescribed by Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act. The p lan is terminable with respect to a Class at any time by a vote of a majority of the independent d irectors or by a majority vote of the outstanding shares in the Class.

Payments under the 12b-1 plans will normally be made for funds that are closed to new investors. Such payments are made for the various services provided to the investors by the intermediaries receiving such payments .

The following payments for the fiscal year indicated were made to intermediaries, including broker-dealers and insurance companies, for the distribution, shareholder servicing, maintenance of shareholder accounts , and/or other administrati ve services under the p lan .

PORTFOLIO TRANSACTIONS

All funds except International Funds

Investment or Brokerage Discretion

Decisions with respect to the purchase and sale of portfolio securities on behalf of the fund are made by T. Rowe Price. T. Rowe Price is also responsible for implementing these decisions, including , where applicable, the negotiation of commissions, the allocation of portfolio brokerage and principal business and the use of affiliates to assist in routing orders for execution.

The fund`s purchases and sales of fixed-income portfolio securities are normally done on a principal basis and do not involve the payment of a commission , although they may involve the designation of selling concessions. That part of the discussion below relating solely to brokerage commissions would not normally apply to the fund (except to the extent that the Corporate Income, High Yield, Institutional Core Plus, Institutional High Yield, New Income, and Personal Strategy Funds purchase equity securities). However, it is included because T. Rowe Price does manage a significant number of common stock portfolios which do engage in agency transactions and pay commissions and because some research and services resulting from the payment of such commissions may benefit the fund.

How Broker - Dealers Are Selected

Fixed-Income Securities

Fixed-income securities are generally purchased from the issuer or a primary market-maker acting as principal for the securities on a net basis, with no brokerage commission being paid by the client , although the price usually includes an undisclosed compensation. Transactions placed through broker- dealers serving as primary market-makers reflect the spread between the bid and ask prices. Securities may also be purchased from underwriters at prices which include underwriting fees.

Equity Securities

<R>

In purchasing and selling equity securities, T. Rowe Price seek s to obtain quality execution at favorable security prices through responsible broker - dealers and , in the case of agency transactions, at competitive commission rates . However, under certain conditions, higher brokerage commissions may be paid in return for brokerage and research services. As a general practice, securities transactions are executed in the primary market with

</R>

<R>

market-makers , or through an electronic communications network or Alternative Trading System . In selecting from among these options , T. Rowe Price generally seeks to select the broker-dealers or system it believes to be actively and effectively trading the security being purchased or sold. In selecting broker - dealers to execute the fund`s portfolio transactions, consideration is given to such factors as the price of the security, the rate of the commission, the size and difficulty of the order, the reliability, integrity, general execution , and operational capabilities of competing broker - dealers, their expertise in particular markets, and brokerage and research services provided by them. It is not the policy of T. Rowe Price to seek the lowest available commission rate where it is believed that a broker - dealer charging a higher commission rate would offer greater reliability or provide better price or execution .

</R>

Equity and Fixed - Income Securities

With respect to equity and fixed-income securities, T. Rowe Price may effect principal transactions on behalf of the fund with a broker - dealer who furnishes brokerage and/or research services ; designate any such broker - dealer to receive selling concessions, discounts, or other allowances ; or otherwise deal with any such broker - dealer in connection with the acquisition of securities in underwritings. T. Rowe Price may receive research services in connection with brokerage transactions, including designations in fixed - price offerings.

How Evaluations Are Made of the Overall Reasonableness of Brokerage Commissions Paid

<R>

On a continuing basis, T. Rowe Price seeks to determine what levels of commission rates are reasonable in the marketplace for transactions executed on behalf of institutional clients . In evaluating the reasonableness of commission rates, T. Rowe Price considers: (a) rates quoted by broker-dealers ; (b) the size of a particular transaction, in terms of the number of shares, dollar amount, and number of clients involved ; (c) the complexity of a particular transaction in terms of both execution and settlement ; (d) the level and type of business done with a particular firm over a period of time ; (e) the extent to which the broker-dealer has capital at risk in the transaction ; (f) historical commission rates ; and (g) rates which other institutional investors are paying, based on available public information .

</R>

Description of Research Services Received From Broker - Dealers

T. Rowe Price receives a wide range of research services from broker - dealers. These services include information on the economy, industries, groups of securities, individual companies, statistical information, accounting and tax law interpretations, political developments, legal developments affecting portfolio securities, technical market action, pricing and appraisal services, credit analysis, risk measurement analysis, performance analysis, and analysis of corporate responsibility issues. These services provide both domestic and international perspective. Research services are received primarily in the form of written reports, computer-generated services, telephone contacts, and personal meetings with security analysts. S uch services may be provided in the form of meetings arranged with corporate and industry spokespersons, economists, academicians, and government representatives. Some research may be incorporated into firm-wide systems or communications. Therefore, T. Rowe Price may have access to the research obtained through commissions generated by T. Rowe Price International.

Research services received from broker - dealers are supplemental to T. Rowe Price`s own research effort s and, when utilized, are subject to internal analysis before being incorporated by T. Rowe Price into its investment process. As a practical matter, it would not be possible for T. Rowe Price to generate all of the information and varied opinions presently provided by broker - dealers. T. Rowe Price pays cash for certain research services including all research received from external non-broker-dealer sources. While receipt of research services from brokerage firms has not reduced T. Rowe Price`s normal research activities, the expenses of T. Rowe Price could be materially increased if it attempted to generate such additional information through its own staff. To the extent that research services of value are provided by broker - dealers, T. Rowe Price is relieved of expenses which it might otherwise bear.

T. Rowe Price has a policy of not allocating brokerage business in return for products or services other than brokerage or research services. In accordance with the provisions of Section 28(e) of the 1934 Act , T. Rowe Price has from time to time receive d third-party vendor services and products which serve both research and non-research functions. In such event, T. Rowe Price makes a good faith determination of the research and non- research use of the product or service and received credit for commission business only with respect to the research component.

Directed Brokerage

In 2002, the T. Rowe Price f unds that invest in domestic equity se curities adopted a commission recapture program. Under the program, a percentage of commissions generated by the portfolio transactions of those funds is re bated to the funds by the broker -dealers and credited to short-term security gain/loss .

Commissions to Broker -Dealers Who Furnish Research Services

Certain broker - dealers who provide quality brokerage and execution services also furnish proprietary research services to T. Rowe Price. Proprietary research may include research provided by an affiliate of the broker- dealer. With regard to the payment of brokerage commissions, T. Rowe Price has adopted a brokerage allocation policy embodying the concepts of Section 28(e) , which permits an investment adviser to cause an account to pay a higher commission (which does not furnish research services or which furnishes brokerage and research services deemed to be of lesser value), if the adviser determines in good faith that the commission paid is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided. The determination may be viewed in terms of either the particular transaction involved or the overall responsibilities of the adviser with respect to the accounts over which it exercises investment discretion. Therefore, research may not necessarily benefit all accounts paying commissions to such broker -dealers . Accordingly, while T. Rowe Price cannot readily determine the extent to which commission rates charged by broker-dealers reflect the value of their research services, T. Rowe Price would expect to assess the reasonableness of commissions in light of the total brokerage and research services provided by each particular broker -dealer . T. Rowe Price may receive proprietary research from broker-dealers , as defined in Section 28(e) , in connection with brokerage transactions, including selling concessions and designations in fixed - price offerings in which the fund participate s .

T. Rowe Price adopted a policy, effective January 1, 2005, to discontinue the use of brokerage commissions to acquire independent, third-party research and related services of non-broker-dealer entities. Proprietary r esearch and services will continue to be acquired or received either directly from executing brokers or indirectly through other brokers in step-out transactions. A "step-out" is an arrangement by which an investment manager executes a trade through one broker-dealer but instructs that entity to step-out all or a portion of the trade to another broker-dealer. This second broker-dealer will clear and settle, and receive commissions for, the stepped-out portion. In the case of the Price Funds, T. Rowe Price would use a step-out to compensate broker-dealers who provide valuable proprietary research services. These broker-dealers may or may not have trading desks of their own.

Independent third-party research will remain an important component of T. Rowe Price`s investment approach. However, independent third-party research will be paid for directly by T. Rowe Price, rather than through third- party soft dollar arrangements. T. Rowe Price will continue to use full service broker-dealers that provide "bundled" proprietary research, either directly or through step-out transactions with other brokers, subject to T. Rowe Price`s best execution obligations; lower commissions may be available from other broker-dealers that do not provide research.

<R>

S elling concessions were not designated for broker-dealers during 200 7 in connection with fixed price offerings in consideration of independent third-party vendor research and brokerage services provided by such broker- dealers. However, T. Rowe Price may receive proprietary research from broker-dealers designated by T. Rowe Price to receive selling concessions.

</R>

Internal Allocation Procedures

<R>

T. Rowe Price has a policy of not pre - committing a specific amount of business to any broker - dealer over any specific time period. Historically, brokerage placement has been determined , as appropriate, by the needs of a specific transaction such as market-making, availability of a buyer or seller of a particular security, or specialized execution skills. T. Rowe Price may choose to allocate brokerage among several broker - dealers which are able to meet the needs of the transaction.

</R>

<R>

</R>

<R>

based on the assessment of services they provide, subject to T. Rowe Price`s fiduciary duties . Actual b usiness received by any firm may be less than the suggested allocations but can, and often does, exceed the suggestions because the total business is allocated on the basis of all the considerations described above. Allocation of brokerage business is monitored on a periodic basis by the Equity Brokerage and Trading Control Committee. In no event is a broker - dealer excluded from receiving business from T. Rowe Price because it has not been identified as providing research services. Discount or execution-only brokers (which includes Alternative Trading Systems) are used where deemed appropriate.

</R>

Miscellaneous

T. Rowe Price`s brokerage allocation policy is generally applied to all its fully discretionary accounts, which represent a substantial majority of all assets under management. Research services furnished by broker - dealers through which T. Rowe Price effects securities transactions may be used in servicing all accounts (including non-fund accounts) managed by T. Rowe Price. Therefore , research services received from broker - dealers which execute transactions for a particular fund will not necessarily be used by T. Rowe Price in connection with the management of that fund.

From time to time, orders for clients may be placed through a computerized transaction network.

The fund does not allocate business to any broker-dealer on the basis of its sales of the fund`s shares. However, this does not mean that broker-dealers who purchase fund shares for their clients will not receive business from the fund.

Since certain of T. Rowe Price`s other clients have investment objectives and programs similar to those of the fund , T. Rowe Price may make recommendations to other clients which result in their purchasing or selling securities simultaneously with the fund. As a result, the demand for securities being purchased or the supply of securities being sold may increase, and this could have an adverse effect on the price of those securities. It is T. Rowe Price`s policy not to favor one client over another in making recommendations or in placing orders. T. Rowe Price frequently follows the practice of grouping orders of various clients for execution . Clients should be aware, however, that the grouping of their orders with other clients may sometimes result in a more favorable price and at other times may result in a less favorable price than if the client orders had not been grouped. In certain cases, where the aggregate order is executed in a series of transactions at various prices on a given day, each participating client`s proportionate share of such order reflects the average price paid or received with respect to the total order. T. Rowe Price may include orders on behalf of the T. Rowe Price Associates Foundation, Inc. and T he T. Rowe Price Program for Charitable Giving, Inc., not for profit entities, in aggregated orders from time to time. T . Rowe Price has established a general investment policy that it will ordinarily not make additional purchases of a common stock f or its clients (including the T. Rowe Price funds) if, as a result of such purchases, 10% or more of the outstanding common stock of the issuer would be held by its clients and clients of affiliated advisers in the aggregate. In certain limited instances, however, T. Rowe Price may increase aggregate ownership to a maximum of 15% or more . For purposes of determining the se limit s , T. Rowe Price includes securities held by clients of affiliated advisers .

T. Rowe Price may give advice and take action for clients, including investment companies, which differs from advice given or the timing or nature of action taken for other clients. T. Rowe Price is not obligated to initiate transactions for clients in any security that its principals, affiliates, or employees may purchase or sell for their own accounts or for other clients.

Purchase and sale transactions may be effected directly among and between non-ERISA client accounts (including affiliated mutual funds), provided no commission is paid to any broker -dealer , the security traded has readily available market quotations, and the transaction is effected at the independent current market price.

At the present time, T. Rowe Price does not recapture commissions or underwriting discounts or selling group concessions in connection with fixed - income securities acquired in underwritten offerings. T. Rowe Price may , however, have the opportunity to designate a portion of the underwriting spread to broker-dealers that participate in the offering .

Trade Allocation Policies

<R>

or price requirements for the participating client portfolios, the guidelines require a pro - rata allocation based upon the relative sizes of the participating client portfolios or the relative sizes of the participating client orders, depending upon the market involved. In allocating trades made on a combined basis, the trading desks seek to achieve the same net unit price of the securities for each participating client. Because a pro - rata allocation may not always adequately accommodate all facts and circumstances, the guidelines provide for exceptions to allocate trades on an adjusted basis. For example, adjustments may be made: (i) to eliminate de minimis positions; (ii ) to give priority to accounts with specialized investment policies and objectives; (i ii ) to reallocate in light of a participating portfolio`s characteristics (e.g., available cash, industry or issuer concentration, duration, credit exposure) ; and (iv) to recognize the efforts of a portfolio manager in negotiating a transaction or a private placement . Also, with respect to private placement transactions, conditions imposed by the issuer may limit availability of allocations to client accounts .

International Funds

Investment or Brokerage Discretion

Decisions with respect to the purchase and sale of portfolio securities on behalf of the fund are made by T. Rowe Price. T. Rowe Price is also responsible for implementing these decisions, including the negotiation of commissions and the allocation of portfolio brokerage and principal business and the use of affiliates to assist in routing orders for execution.

How Broker - Dealers Are Selected

Fixed-Income Securities

For fixed-income securities, it is expected that purchases and sales will ordinarily be transacted with the issuer, the issuer`s underwriter, or with a primary market - maker acting as principal on a net basis, with no brokerage commission being paid by the fund. However, the price of the securities generally includes compensation which is not disclosed separately. Transactions placed through dealers who are serving as primary market - makers reflect the spread between the bid and asked prices.

With respect to equity and fixed-income securities, T. Rowe Price International may effect principal transactions on behalf of the fund with a broker - dealer who furnishes research services , designate any such broker - dealer to receive selling concessions, discounts, or other allowances, or otherwise deal with any such broker - dealer in connection with the acquisition of securities in underwritings. T. Rowe Price International may receive research services in connection with brokerage transactions, including designations in fixed - price offerings.

Equity Securities

In purchasing and selling equity securities, it is T. Rowe Price International `s policy to seek to obtain quality execution at the most favorable security prices through responsible broker - dealers and at competitive commission rates where such rates are negotiable . However, under certain conditions, higher brokerage commissions may be paid in return for brokerage and research services. In an effort to obtain quality execution, orders are generally placed through T. Rowe Price International or T. Rowe Price`s trading desk. In selecting broker - dealers to execute the fund`s portfolio transactions, consideration is given to such factors as the price of the security, the rate of the commission, the size and difficulty of the order, the reliability, integrity, financial condition, general execution , and operational capabilities of competing broker - dealers, their expertise in particular markets, and brokerage and research services provided by them. It is not the policy of T. Rowe Price International to seek the lowest available commission rate where it is believed that a broker - dealer charging a higher commission rate would offer greater reliability or provide better price or execution .

Transactions on stock exchanges involve the payment of brokerage commissions. In transactions on stock exchanges in the United States, these commissions are negotiated. Traditionally, commission rates have generally not been negotiated on stock markets outside the United States. However, an increasing number of overseas stock markets have adopted a system of negotiated rates, although a number of markets continue to be subject to an established schedule of minimum commission rates. It is expected that equity securities will ordinarily be purchased in the primary markets, whether over-the-counter or listed, and that listed securities may be purchased in the over-the-counter market if such market is deemed the primary market. In the case of securities traded on the over-the-counter markets, there is generally no stated commission, but the price usually includes an undisclosed commission or markup. In underwritten offerings, the price includes a disclosed, fixed commission or discount.

How Evaluations Are Made of the Overall Reasonableness of Brokerage Commissions Paid

On a continuing basis, T. Rowe Price International seeks to determine what levels of commission rates are reasonable in the marketplace for transactions executed on behalf of institutional clients .

Descriptions of Research Services Received From Broker - Dealers

T. Rowe Price International receives a wide range of research services from broker - dealers covering investment opportunities throughout the world, including information on the economies, industries, groups of securities, individual companies, statistics, political developments, technical market action, pricing and appraisal services, and performance analyses of all the countries in which a fund`s portfolio is likely to be invested. Research services are received primarily in the form of written reports, e - m ails, computer - generated services, telephone contacts , and personal meetings with security analysts. In addition, such services may be provided in the form of meetings arranged with corporate and industry spokespersons, economists, academicians , and government representatives. T. Rowe Price International cannot readily determine the extent to which commissions charged by broker -dealers reflect the value of their research services, but broker -dealers generally suggest a level of business they would like to receive in return for the brokerage and research services they provide. To the extent that research services of value are provided by broker -dealers , T. Rowe Price International is relieved of expenses which it might otherwise bear. Some research may be incorporated into firm-wide systems or communications. Therefore, T. Rowe Price International may have access to the research obtained through commissions generated by T. Rowe Price.

Commissions to Broker -Dealers Who Furnish Research Services

Certain broker-dealers which provide quality brokerage and execution services also furnish proprietary research services to T. Rowe Price International. Proprietary research may include research provided by an affiliate of the broker-dealer. With regard to payment of brokerage commissions, T. Rowe Price International has adopted a brokerage allocation policy embodying the concepts of Section 28(e) of the 1934 Act , which permits an investment adviser to cause its clients to pay a broker-dealer which furnishes research services a higher commission than that which might be charged by another broker-dealer (which does not furnish research services, or which furnishes brokerage and research services deemed to be of lesser value), if such commission is deemed reasonable in relation to the research services provided by the broker-dealer, viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities of the adviser with respect to the accounts as to which it exercises investment discretion. Therefore, research may not necessarily benefit all accounts paying commissions to such broker-dealers.

Accordingly, T. Rowe Price International may assess the reasonableness of commissions in light of the total research services provided by each particular broker-dealer. T. Rowe Price International may receive proprietary research from broker-dealers, as defined in Section 28(e), in connection with selling concessions and designations in fixed price offerings for non-ERISA accounts.

T. Rowe Price adopted a policy, effective January 1, 2005, to discontinue the use of brokerage commissions to acquire independent, third-party research and related services of non-broker-dealer entities. There has been a long-standing industry, legislative, and regulatory debate regarding the definition and impact of soft-dollar activity, and proactively eliminating the practice has allowed T. Rowe Price International to respond to changing client sentiment on the issue. Proprietary r esearch and services will continue to be acquired or received either directly from executing brokers or indirectly through other brokers in step-out transactions. A "step-out" is an arrangement by which an investment manager executes a trade through one broker-dealer but instructs that entity to step-out all or a portion of the trade to another broker-dealer. This second broker-dealer will clear and settle, and receive commissions for, the stepped-out portion. In the case of the Price Funds, T. Rowe Price International would use a step-out to compensate broker-dealers who provide valuable proprietary research services. These broker-dealers may or may not have trading desks of their own.

<R>

Each year, T. Rowe Price assesses the contribution s of the brokerage and research services provided by broker- dealers and creates a ranking of broker-dealers in response to these assessments. Portfolio managers, research analysts, and the t rading d epartment each evaluate the brokerage, execution and research services they receive from broker-dealers and make judg ments as to quality of such services. In addition, smaller specialty broker- dealers may be targeted to receive a given dollar amount of business based on the assessment of services they provide, subject to T. Rowe Price`s fiduciary duties . Actual business received by any firm may not directly reflect their ranking in the voting process. It may be less than the suggested allocations or target but can, and often does, exceed the suggestions because the total business is allocated on the basis of all the considerations described above. Allocation of brokerage business is monitored on a periodic basis by the Equity Brokerage and Trading Control Committee. In no event is a broker-dealer excluded from receiving business from T.

Miscellaneous

Research services furnished by broker -dealers through which T. Rowe Price International effects securities transactions may be used in servicing all accounts managed by T. Rowe Price International .

Rowe Price International in connection with the management of that fund.

<R>

T. Rowe Price has developed written trade allocation guidelines for its t rading desk s . Generally, when the amount of securities available in a public offering or the secondary markets is insufficient to satisfy the volume or price requirements for the participating client portfolios, the guidelines require a pro - rata allocation based upon the relative sizes of the participating client portfolios or the relative sizes of the participating client orders depending upon the market involved. In allocating trades made on a combined basis, the trading desks seek to achieve the same net unit price of the securities for each participating client.

T. Rowe Price International is represented on the Equity Brokerage and Trading Control Committee, which is responsible for developing and monitoring brokerage policies and resolving questions relating to those policies. T. Rowe Price International has established a general investment policy that it will ordinarily not make additional purchases of a common stock of a company for its clients (including the T. Rowe Price F unds) if, as a result of such purchases, 10% or more of the outstanding common stock of such company would be held by its clients and clients of affiliated advisers in the aggregate. For purposes of determining the 10% limit, T. Rowe Price International includes securities held by clients of affiliated advisers. In certain limited instances, however, T. Rowe Price International may increase aggregate ownership to a maximum of 15% or more .

Related Performance Information

</R>

<R>

The information set forth below shows historical total returns for the Non-U.S. Equity Core Composite. The composite is not a mutual fund. Rather, it is a collection of all the portfolios managed by T. Rowe Price International that have investment objectives, policies, and strategies that are substantially similar to those of the T. Rowe Price Overseas Stock Fund.

</R>

<R>

The performance information is historical and should not be considered predictive of the fund`s future results.

</R>

<R>

Certain portfolios that may comprise the composite may not be mutual funds and thus will not be subject to the diversification requirements and other restriction s and investment limitations imposed on the T. Rowe Price Overseas Stock Fund by the 1940 Act or the Code which, if applicable, may have adversely affected the performance result.

</R>

<R>

As of December 31, 200 7 , there w ere two portfolio s in the composite.

</R>

<R>

The following table shows return figures for the composite net of expenses of 1.15% which is the expected expense ratio of the fund. Because the expense ratio of the fund is higher than the expense ratio s of the portfolio s comprising the composite, the performance shown is lower than the actual returns of the composite.

* These figures reflect the prior performance of simila r portfolios and are net of 1.15% expenses. Asset-weighted returns are calculated monthly. Each portfolio`s contribution to th e composite for the month is calculated by multiplying the monthly portfolio return by the rati o of the portfolio`s beginning asset value as expressed as a percentage of the composite`s beginning asset value. Contributions for all portfolios are summed to determine the composite`s asset-weighted performance for the month. Monthly returns are subsequently linked to determine quarterly asset- weighte d returns. This differs from the required SEC method for calculating mutual fund performance.

PART II

Part II of this SAI describes risks, policies, and practices that apply to the funds in the T. Rowe Price family of funds.

INVESTMENT OBJECTIVES AND POLICIES

The following information supplements the discussion of the funds` investment objectives and policies discussed in the funds` prospectuses. You should refer to each fund`s prospectus to determine the types of securities in which the fund invests. You will then be able to review additional information set forth herein on those types of securities and their risks.

Shareholder approval is required to substantively change fund objectives. Unless otherwise specified, the investment programs and restrictions of the funds are not fundamental policies. The funds` operating policies are subject to change by the funds` Boards without shareholder approval. The funds` fundamental policies may not be changed without the approval of at least a majority of the outstanding shares of the funds or, if it is less, 67% of the shares represented at a meeting of shareholders at which the holders of more than 50% of the shares are represented.

RISK FACTORS

Reference is also made to the sections entitled "Investment Program" and "Portfolio Management Practices" for discussions of the risks associated with the investments and practices described therein as they apply to the funds.

Risk Factors of Investing in Foreign Securities

General

Foreign securities include U.S. dollar-denominated and non-U.S. dollar-denominated securities of foreign issuers.

There are special risks in foreign investing. Certain of these risks are inherent in any mutual fund investing in foreign securities while others relate more to the countries in which the funds will invest. Many of the risks are

more pronounced for investments in developing or emerging market countries, such as many of the countries of Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, Latin America, the Middle East, and Russia . There is no universally accepted definition of a n emerging country , but the Funds generally use MSCI Barra to make a classification.

<R>

Political and Economic Factors Foreign investments involve risks unique to the local political, economic, and regulatory structures in place, as well as the potential for social instability, military unrest, or diplomatic developments that could prove adverse to the interests of U.S. investors. Individual foreign economies can differ favorably or unfavorably from the U.S. economy in such respects as growth of gross national product, rate of inflation, capital reinvestment, resource self-sufficiency, and balance of payments position. In addition, significant external political and economic risks currently affect some foreign countries. For example, b oth Taiwan and China still claim sovereignty over one another and there is a demilitarized border and hostile relations between North and South Korea. War and terrorism affect many countries, especially those in Africa and the Middle East. M any countries throughout the world are dependent on a healthy U.S. economy and are adversely affected when the U.S. economy weakens or its markets decline . For example, in 2007, the meltdown in the U.S. subprime mortgage market quickly spread throughout global credit markets, triggering a liquidity crisis that affected fixed-income markets around the world and led to a decline in equity markets as well. European countries can be significantly affected by the tight fiscal and monetary controls that the European Economic and Monetary Union ( "EMU" ) imposes for membership. Europe`s economies are diverse, its governments are decentralized, and its cultures vary widely. As a result, there is continued concern about national-level support for the euro and the accompanying coordination of fiscal and wage policy among EMU member countries. Member countries are required to maintain tight control over inflation, public debt, and budget deficit in order to qualify for participation in the euro. These requirements can severely limit EMU member countries` ability to implement monetary policy to address regional economic conditions.

</R>

Governments in certain foreign countries continue to participate to a significant degree, through ownership interest or regulation, in their respective economies. Action by these governments could have a significant effect on market prices of securities and payment of dividends. The economies of many foreign countries are heavily dependent upon international trade and are accordingly affected by protective trade barriers and economic conditions of their trading partners. The enactment by these trading partners of protectionist trade legislation could have a significant adverse effect upon the securities markets of such countries.

Currency Fluctuations Investments in foreign securities will normally be denominated in foreign currencies. American Depository Receipts ( "ADRs" ) are investments in foreign companies but are denominated in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, a change in the value of any such currency against the U.S. dollar will result in a corresponding change in the U.S. dollar value of the funds` assets denominated in that currency. Such changes will also affect the funds` income. Generally, when a given currency appreciates against the dollar (the dollar weakens), the value of the funds` securities denominated in that currency will rise. When a given currency depreciates against the dollar (the dollar strengthens), the value of the funds` securities denominated in that currency would be expected to decline.

<R>

Investment and Repatriation Restrictions Foreign investment in the securities markets of certain foreign countries is restricted or controlled to varying degrees. These restrictions limit and, at times, preclude investment in such countries and increase the cost and expenses of the funds. Investments by foreign investors are subject to a variety of restrictions in many developing countries. These restrictions may take the form of prior governmental approval, limits on the amount or type of securities held by foreigners, and limits on the types of companies in which foreigners may invest. Additional or different restrictions may be imposed at any time by these or other countries in which the funds invest. In addition, the repatriation of both investment income and capital from several foreign countries is restricted and controlled under certain regulations, including in some cases the need for certain government consents.

</R>

Market Characteristics It is contemplated that most foreign securities will be purchased in over-the-counter markets or on securities exchanges located in the countries in which the respective principal offices of the issuers of the various securities are located, if that is the best available market. Investments in certain markets may be made through ADRs and Global Depository Receipts ( "GDRs" ) traded in the United States or on foreign exchanges. Foreign securities markets are generally not as developed or efficient as, and more volatile than, those in the United States. While growing in volume, they usually have substantially less volume than U.S. markets and the funds` portfolio securities may be less liquid and subject to more rapid and erratic price movements than securities of comparable U.S. companies. Securities may trade at price/earnings multiples

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

higher than comparable U.S. securities and such levels may not be sustainable. Commissions on foreign securities trades are generally higher than commissions on U.S. exchanges, and while there are an increasing number of overseas securities markets that have adopted a system of negotiated rates, a number are still subject to an established schedule of minimum commission rates. There is generally less government supervision and regulation of foreign securities exchanges, brokers, and listed companies than in the United States. Moreover, settlement practices for transactions in foreign markets may differ from those in U.S. markets. Such differences include delays beyond periods customary in the United States and practices, such as delivery of securities prior to receipt of payment, which increase the likelihood of a "failed settlement." Failed settlements can result in losses to the funds.

Investment Funds The funds may invest in investment funds which have been authorized by the governments of certain countries specifically to permit foreign investment in securities of companies listed and traded on the stock exchanges in these respective countries. Investment in these funds is subject to the provisions of the 1940 Act. If the funds invest in such investment funds, shareholders will bear not only their proportionate share of the expenses of the fund (including operating expenses and the fees of the investment manager), but also will indirectly bear similar expenses of the underlying investment funds. In addition, the securities of these investment funds may trade at a premium over their net asset value.

Information and Supervision There is generally less publicly available information about foreign companies comparable to reports and ratings that are published about companies in the United States. Foreign companies are also generally not subject to uniform accounting, auditing and financial reporting standards, practices, and requirements comparable to those applicable to U.S. companies. It also is often more difficult to keep currently informed of corporate actions which affect the prices of portfolio securities.

Taxes The dividends and interest payable on certain of the funds` foreign portfolio securities may be subject to foreign withholding taxes, thus reducing the net amount of income available for distribution to the funds` shareholders.

Costs Investors should understand that the expense ratios of a fund investing primarily in foreign securities can be expected to be higher than investment companies investing in domestic securities , since the cost of maintaining the custody of foreign securities and the rate of advisory fees paid by the fund is higher.

Other With respect to certain foreign countries, especially developing and emerging ones, there is the possibility of adverse changes in investment or exchange control regulations, expropriation or confiscatory taxation, limitations on the removal of funds or other assets of the funds, political or social instability, or diplomatic developments which could affect investments by U.S. persons in those countries.

Small Companies Small companies may have less experienced management and fewer management resources than larger firms. A smaller company may have greater difficulty obtaining access to capital markets and may pay more for the capital it obtains. In addition, smaller companies are more likely to be involved in fewer market segments, making them more vulnerable to any downturn in a given segment. Some of these factors may also apply, to a lesser extent, to medium-sized companies.

Emerging Europe, Middle East, and Africa

<R>

Political Instability Many formerly communist, eastern European countries have experienced significant political and economic reform in recent years, and the eastward expansion of the European Union could help anchor this reform process. However, the democratization process is still relatively new in a number of the smaller states and political turmoil and popular uprising remains a threat. Russia has made advances in establishing a new political outlook and a market economy, but political risk remains high. Many Middle Eastern economies have little or no democratic tradition and are led by family structures. Opposition parties are often banned, leading to dissidence and militancy. Despite a growing trend toward a democratic process, many African nations have a history of dictatorship, military intervention, and corruption. In all regions, such developments, if they were to reoccur, could reverse favorable trends toward economic and market reform, privatization, and removal of trade barriers, and result in significant disruption in securities markets.

</R>

<R>

Foreign Currency Certain countries in the region may have managed currencies which are pegged to the U.S. dollar or the euro, rather than at levels determined by the market. This type of system can lead to sudden and large adjustments in the currency, which may, in turn, have a disruptive and negative effect on investors. There is no significant foreign exchange market for certain currencies, and it would, as a result, be difficult for

</R>

<R>

the funds to engage in foreign currency transactions designed to protect the value of the funds` interests in securities denominated in such currencies.

</R>

Energy/Resources Russia, the Middle East, and many African nations are highly reliant on income from oil sales. Oil prices can have a major impact on the domestic economy. Other commodities such as base and precious metals are also important to these economies. Fluctuating supply and demand can significantly impact the price of such commodities.

Latin America

Inflation Most Latin American countries have experienced, at one time or another, severe and persistent levels of inflation, including, in some cases, hyperinflation. This has, in turn, led to high interest rates, extreme measures by governments to keep inflation in check, and a generally debilitating effect on economic growth. Although inflation in many countries has lessened, there is no guarantee it will remain at lower levels.

Political Instability The political history of certain Latin American countries has been characterized by political uncertainty, intervention by the military in civilian and economic spheres, and political corruption. Such developments, if they were to reoccur, could reverse favorable trends toward market and economic reform, privatization, and removal of trade barriers, and result in significant disruption in securities markets.

Foreign Currency Certain Latin American countries may experience sudden and large adjustments in their currency which, in turn, can have a disruptive and negative effect on foreign investors. Certain Latin American countries may impose restrictions on the free conversion of their currency into foreign currencies, including the U.S. dollar. There is no significant foreign exchange market for many currencies and it would, as a result, be difficult for the funds to engage in foreign currency transactions designed to protect the value of the funds` interests in securities denominated in such currencies.

Sovereign Debt A number of Latin American countries have been among the largest debtors of developing countries. There have been moratoria on, and reschedulings of, repayment with respect to these debts. Such events can restrict the flexibility of these debtor nations in the international markets and result in the imposition of onerous conditions on their economies.

Japan

Japan has experienced earthquakes and tidal waves of varying degrees of severity, and the risks of such phenomena, and damage resulting therefrom, continue to exist. Japan also has one of the world`s highest population densities. A significant percentage of the total population of Japan is concentrated in the metropolitan areas of Tokyo, Osaka, and Nagoya.

<R>

Energy Japan has historically depended on oil for most of its energy requirements. Almost all of its oil is imported, the majority from the Middle East. In the past, oil prices have had a major impact on the domestic economy, but more recently Japan has worked to reduce its dependence on oil by encouraging energy conservation and use of alternative fuels. In addition, a restructuring of industry, with emphasis shifting from basic industries to processing and assembly type industries, has contributed to the reduction of oil consumption. However, there is no guarantee this favorable trend will continue.

</R>

Foreign Trade Overseas trade is important to Japan`s economy. Japan has few natural resources and must export to pay for its imports of these basic requirements. Because of the concentration of Japanese exports in highly visible products such as automobiles, machine tools, and semiconductors and the large trade surpluses ensuing therefrom, Japan has had difficult relations with its trading partners, particularly the U.S. It is possible that trade sanctions or other protectionist measures could impact Japan adversely in both the short term and long term.

Asia (ex-Japan)

Political Instability The political history of some Asian countries has been characterized by political uncertainty, intervention by the military in civilian and economic spheres, and political corruption. Such developments, if they continue to occur, could reverse favorable trends toward market and economic reform, privatization, and removal of trade barriers and result in significant disruption in securities markets.

<R>

Foreign Currency Certain Asian countries may have managed currencies which are maintained at artificial levels to the U.S. dollar rather than at levels determined by the market. This type of system can lead to sudden and large adjustments in the currency which, in turn, can have a disruptive and negative effect on foreign investors.

Certain Asian countries also may restrict the free conversion of their currency into foreign currencies, including the U.S. dollar. There is no significant foreign exchange market for certain currencies, and it would, as a result, be difficult for the funds to engage in foreign currency transactions designed to protect the value of the funds` interests in securities denominated in such currencies.

Economy A number of Asian companies are highly dependent on foreign loans for their operation, some of which may impose strict repayment term schedules and require significant economic and financial restructuring. The economies of many countries in the region are heavily dependent on international trade and are accordingly affected by protective trade barriers and the economic conditions of their trading partners. China has had an increasingly significant and positive impact on the global economy, but its continued success depends on its ability to retain the legal and financial systems that have fostered economic freedom and market expansion.

Risk Factors of Investing in Taxable Debt Obligations

General

Yields on short-, intermediate-, and long-term securities are dependent on a variety of factors, including the general conditions of the money, bond, and foreign exchange markets; the size of a particular offering; the maturity of the obligation; and the rating of the issue. Debt securities with longer maturities tend to carry higher yields and are generally subject to greater capital appreciation and depreciation than obligations with shorter maturities and lower yields. The market prices of debt securities usually vary, depending upon available yields. An increase in interest rates will generally reduce the value of portfolio investments, and a decline in interest rates will generally increase the value of portfolio investments. The ability of funds investing in debt securities to achieve their investment objectives is also dependent on the continuing ability of the issuers of the debt securities in which the funds invest to meet their obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due.

After purchase by the funds, a debt security may cease to be rated or its rating may be reduced below the minimum required for purchase by the funds. Neither event will require a sale of such security by the funds. However, such events will be considered in determining whether the funds should continue to hold the security. To the extent that the ratings given by Moody`s, S&P, or others may change as a result of changes in such organizations or their rating systems, the funds will attempt to use comparable ratings as standards for investments in accordance with the investment policies contained in the prospectus. The ratings of Moody`s, S&P, and others represent their opinions as to the quality of securities that they undertake to rate. Ratings are not absolute standards of quality. When purchasing unrated securities, T. Rowe Price, under the supervision of the funds` Boards, determines whether the unrated security is of a quality comparable to that which the funds are allowed to purchase.

Full Faith and Credit Securities

Securities backed by the full faith and credit of the United States (for example, GNMA and U.S. Treasury securities) are generally considered to be among the most, if not the most, creditworthy investments available. While the U.S. government has honored its credit obligations continuously for the last 200 years, political events have, at times, called into question whether the United States would default on its obligations. Such an event would be unprecedented and there is no way to predict its results on the securities markets or the funds. However, it is very likely that default by the United States would result in losses to the funds.

Mortgage Securities

Mortgage-backed securities, including Government National Mortgage Association ( "Ginnie Mae" or " GNMA " ) securities differ from conventional bonds in that principal is paid back over the life of the security rather than at maturity. As a result, the holder of a mortgage-backed security (i.e., a fund) receives monthly scheduled payments of principal and interest, and may receive unscheduled principal payments representing prepayments on the underlying mortgages. Therefore, GNMA securities may not be an effective means of "locking in" long- term interest rates due to the need for the funds to reinvest scheduled and unscheduled principal payments. The incidence of unscheduled principal prepayments is also likely to increase in mortgage pools owned by the funds when prevailing mortgage loan rates fall below the mortgage rates of the securities underlying the individual pool. The effect of such prepayments in a falling rate environment is to (1) cause the funds to reinvest principal payments at the then lower prevailing interest rate, and (2) reduce the potential for capital appreciation beyond the face amount of the security and adversely affect the return to the funds. Conversely, in a rising interest rate environment such prepayments can be reinvested at higher prevailing interest rates which will reduce the

potential effect of capital depreciation to which bonds are subject when interest rates rise. When interest rates rise and prepayments decline, GNMA securities become subject to extension risk or the risk that the price of the securities will fluctuate more. In addition, prepayments of mortgage securities purchased at a premium (or discount) will cause such securities to be paid off at par, resulting in a loss (gain) to the funds. T. Rowe Price will actively manage the funds` portfolios in an attempt to reduce the risk associated with investment in mortgage-backed securities.

The market value of adjustable rate mortgage securities ( "ARMs" ), like other U.S. government securities, will generally vary inversely with changes in market interest rates, declining when interest rates rise and rising when interest rates decline. Because of their periodic adjustment feature, ARMs should be more sensitive to short-term interest rates than long-term rates. They should also display less volatility than long-term mortgage-backed securities. Thus, while having less risk of a decline during periods of rapidly rising rates, ARMs may also have less potential for capital appreciation than other investments of comparable maturities. Interest rate caps on mortgages underlying ARM s may prevent income on the ARM s from increasing to prevailing interest rate levels and cause the securities to decline in value. In addition, to the extent ARMs are purchased at a premium, mortgage foreclosures and unscheduled principal prepayments may result in some loss of the holders` principal investment to the extent of the premium paid. On the other hand, if ARMs are purchased at a discount, both a scheduled payment of principal and an unscheduled prepayment of principal will increase current and total returns and will accelerate the recognition of income that, when distributed to shareholders, will be taxable as ordinary income.

High-Yield Securities

Special Risks of Investing in Junk Bonds The following special considerations are additional risk factors of funds investing in lower-rated securities.

Lower-Rated Debt Securities Market An economic downturn or increase in interest rates is likely to have a greater negative effect on this market, the value of lower-rated debt securities in the funds` portfolios, the funds` net asset value and the ability of the bonds` issuers to repay principal and interest, meet projected business goals, and obtain additional financing than on higher-rated securities. These circumstances also may result in a higher incidence of defaults than with respect to higher-rated securities. Investment in funds which invest in lower-rated debt securities is more risky than investment in shares of funds which invest only in higher-rated debt securities.

Sensitivity to Interest Rate and Economic Changes Prices of lower-rated debt securities may be more sensitive to adverse economic changes or corporate developments than higher-rated investments. Debt securities with longer maturities, which may have higher yields, may increase or decrease in value more than debt securities with shorter maturities. Market prices of lower-rated debt securities structured as zero-coupon or pay-in-kind securities are affected to a greater extent by interest rate changes and may be more volatile than securities which pay interest periodically and in cash. Where it deems it appropriate and in the best interests of fund shareholders, the funds may incur additional expenses to seek recovery on a debt security on which the issuer has defaulted and to pursue litigation to protect the interests of security holders of its portfolio companies.

Liquidity and Valuation Because the market for lower-rated securities may be thinner and less active than for higher-rated securities, there may be market price volatility for these securities and limited liquidity in the resale market. Nonrated securities are usually not as attractive to as many buyers as rated securities are, a factor which may make nonrated securities less marketable. These factors may have the effect of limiting the availability of the securities for purchase by the funds and may also limit the ability of the funds to sell such securities at their fair value either to meet redemption requests or in response to changes in the economy or the financial markets.

Adverse publicity and investor perceptions, whether or not based on fundamental analysis, may decrease the values and liquidity of lower-rated debt securities, especially in a thinly traded market. To the extent the funds own or may acquire illiquid or restricted lower-rated securities, these securities may involve special registration responsibilities, liabilities, costs, and liquidity and valuation difficulties. Changes in values of debt securities which the funds own will affect its net asset value per share. If market quotations are not readily available for the funds` lower-rated or nonrated securities, these securities will be valued by a method that the funds` Boards believe accurately reflects fair value. Judgment plays a greater role in valuing lower-rated debt securities than with respect to securities for which more external sources of quotations and last sale information are available.

<R>

</R>

Taxation Special tax considerations are associated with investing in lower-rated debt securities structured as zero-coupon or pay-in-kind securities. The funds accrue income on these securities prior to the receipt of cash payments. The funds must distribute substantially all of its income to its shareholders to qualify for pass- through treatment under the tax laws and may, therefore, have to dispose of portfolio securities to satisfy distribution requirements.

Risk Factors of Investing in Municipal Securities

General

Yields on municipal securities are dependent on a variety of factors, including the general conditions of the money market and the municipal bond market, the size of a particular offering, the maturity of the obligations, and the rating of the issue. Municipal securities with longer maturities tend to produce higher yields and are generally subject to potentially greater capital appreciation and depreciation than obligations with shorter maturities and lower yields. The market prices of municipal securities usually vary, depending upon available yields. An increase in interest rates will generally reduce the value of portfolio investments, and a decline in interest rates will generally increase the value of portfolio investments. The ability of all the funds to achieve their investment objectives is also dependent on the continuing ability of the issuers of municipal securities in which the funds invest to meet their obligations for the payment of interest and principal when due. The ratings of Moody`s, S&P, and Fitch IBCA, Inc. ( "Fitch" ) represent their opinions as to the quality of municipal securities which they undertake to rate. Ratings are not absolute standards of quality; consequently, municipal securities with the same maturity, coupon, and rating may have different yields. There are variations in municipal securities, both within a particular classification and between classifications, depending on numerous factors. It should also be pointed out that, unlike other types of investments, offerings of municipal securities have traditionally not been subject to regulation by, or registration with, the SEC, although there have been proposals which would provide for regulation in the future.

The federal bankruptcy statutes relating to the debts of political subdivisions and authorities of states of the United States provide that, in certain circumstances, such subdivisions or authorities may be authorized to initiate bankruptcy proceedings without prior notice to or consent of creditors, which proceedings could result in material and adverse changes in the rights of holders of their obligations.

Proposals have been introduced in Congress to restrict or eliminate the federal income tax exemption for interest on municipal securities, and similar proposals may be introduced in the future. Proposed "Flat Tax" and "Value Added Tax" proposals would also have the effect of eliminating the tax preference for municipal securities. Some of the past proposals would have applied to interest on municipal securities issued before the date of enactment, which would have adversely affected their value to a material degree. If such a proposal were enacted, the availability of municipal securities for investment by the funds and the value of a fund`s portfolio would be affected and, in such an event, the funds would reevaluate their investment objectives and policies. Also, recent changes to tax laws broadly lowering tax rates, including lower tax rates on dividends and capital gains, could have a negative impact on the desirability of owning municipal securities.

Although the banks and securities dealers with which the funds will transact business will be banks and securities dealers that T. Rowe Price believes to be financially sound, there can be no assurance that they will be able to honor their obligations to the funds with respect to such transactions.

<R>

Municipal Bond Insurance The funds may purchase insured bonds from time to time. Municipal bond insurance provides an unconditional and irrevocable guarantee that the insured bond`s principal and interest will be paid when due. Insurance does not guarantee the price of the bond. The guarantee is purchased from a private, nongovernmental insurance company.

</R>

There are two types of insured securities that may be purchased by the funds: bonds carrying either (1) new issue insurance; or (2) secondary insurance. New issue insurance is purchased by the issuer of a bond in order to improve the bond`s credit rating. By meeting the insurer`s standards and paying an insurance premium based on the bond`s principal value, the issuer is able to obtain a higher credit rating for the bond. Once purchased, municipal bond insurance cannot be canceled, and the protection it affords continues as long as the bonds are outstanding and the insurer remains solvent.

The funds may also purchase bonds that carry secondary insurance purchased by an investor after a bond`s original issuance. Such policies insure a security for the remainder of its term. Generally, the funds expect that

portfolio bonds carrying secondary insurance will have been insured by a prior investor. However, the funds may, on occasion, purchase secondary insurance on their own behalf.

<R>

Each of the municipal bond insurance companies has established reserves to cover estimated losses. Both the method of establishing these reserves and the amount of the reserves vary from company to company. The risk that a municipal bond insurance company may experience a claim extends over the life of each insured bond. Municipal bond insurance companies are obligated to pay a bond`s interest and principal when due if the issuing entity defaults on the insured bond. Although defaults on insured municipal bonds have been low to date, it is possible for default rates on insured bonds to increase substantially, which could deplete an insurer`s loss reserves and adversely affect the ability of a municipal bond insurer to pay claims to holders of insured bonds, such as the funds. The inability of an insurer to pay a particular claim, or a downgrade of the insurer`s rating, could adversely affect the values of all the bonds it insures. The number of municipal bond insurers is relatively small and, therefore, a significant amount of a municipal bond fund`s assets may be insured by a single issuer.

</R>

High-Yield Securities Lower-quality bonds, commonly referred to as "junk bonds," are regarded as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer`s continuing ability to meet principal and interest payments. Because investment in low- and lower-medium-quality bonds involves greater investment risk, to the extent the funds invest in such bonds, achievement of their investment objectives will be more dependent on T. Rowe Price`s credit analysis than would be the case if the funds were investing in higher-quality bonds. High- yield bonds may be more susceptible to real or perceived adverse economic conditions than investment-grade bonds. A projection of an economic downturn or higher interest rates, for example, could cause a decline in high-yield bond prices because the advent of such events could lessen the ability of highly leveraged issuers to make principal and interest payments on their debt securities. In addition, the secondary trading market for high-yield bonds may be less liquid than the market for higher-grade bonds, which can adversely affect the ability of the funds to dispose of their portfolio securities. Bonds for which there is only a "thin" market can be more difficult to value inasmuch as objective pricing data may be less available, and judgment may play a greater role in the valuation process.

Risk Factors of Investing in Taxable and Tax-Free Money Market Funds

The T. Rowe Price money market funds will limit their purchases of portfolio instruments to those U.S. dollar- denominated securities which the funds` Boards determine present minimal credit risk and which are eligible securities as defined in Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Eligible securities are generally securities which have been rated (or whose issuer has been rated or whose issuer has comparable securities rated) in one of the two highest short-term rating categories (which may include sub-categories) by nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (" NRSROs ") or, in the case of any instrument that is not so rated, is of comparable high quality as determined by T. Rowe Price pursuant to written guidelines established under the supervision of the funds` Boards. In addition, the funds may treat variable and floating rate instruments with demand features as short- term securities pursuant to Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act.

There can be no assurance that the funds will achieve their investment objectives or be able to maintain their net asset values per share at $1.00. The price of the funds is not guaranteed or insured by the U.S. government and their yields are not fixed. While the funds invest in high-grade money market instruments, investment in the funds is not without risk even if all portfolio instruments are paid in full at maturity. An increase in interest rates could reduce the value of the funds` portfolio investments, and a decline in interest rates could increase the value.

State Tax-Free Funds

The following information about the s tate t ax- f ree f unds is updated in June of each year. More current information is available in shareholder reports for these funds.

California Tax-Free Bond and California Tax-Free Money Funds

Risk Factors Associated With a California Portfolio

The funds` concentration in debt obligations of one state carries a higher risk than a portfolio that is geographically diversified. In addition to state general obligations and notes, the funds will invest in local bond issues, lease obligations, and revenue bonds; the credit quality and risk will vary according to each security`s structure and underlying economics.

<R>

Debt The state, its agencies, and local governmental entities issued $48 billion of debt during 2006. Although this amount was down 16% from 2005`s level of $57 billion, a ccumulatively, California borrowers still lead the nation i n amount of debt issued. California borrowers issued debt for a wide variety of purposes, including transportation, housing, education, electric power, and health care.

As of January 1, 2007, the state of California had approximately $49 billion in outstanding general obligation bonds secured by the state`s revenue and taxing power. An additional $72 billion in state general obligation debt remains authorized but unissued to comply with voter initiatives and legislative mandates. This amount includes $43 billion of bonds approved by the voters in November 2006. Debt service on roughly 4% of the state`s outstanding general obligation debt is met from revenue-producing projects such as water, harbor, and housing facilities. As part of its cash management program, the state regularly issues short-term notes to meet its disbursement requirements in advance of the receipt of revenues. During fiscal year 2007, the state issued $1.5 billion in short-term notes for this purpose, as compared with $3 billion in fiscal year 2006. The state supports $8 billion in lease-purchase obligations attributable to the State Public Works Board and other issuers. These obligations are not backed by the full faith and credit of the state; rather, they are subject to annual appropriations from the state`s general fund.

In addition to the state obligations described above, bonds have been issued by special public authorities in California that are not obligations of the state. These include bonds issued by the California Housing Finance Agency, the Department of Water Resources, the Department of Veterans Affairs, California State University, and the California Transportation Commission.

Economy California`s economy is the largest among the 50 states and one of the largest in the world. California`s economy is extraordinarily diverse, broad, and resilient. The state`s population of 37 million as of July 1, 2006, grew by 1.3% from the prior year — better than the roughly 1% annual increases typically seen; it represents over 12% of the entire United States population. The state`s per capita personal income in 2005 exceeded the U.S. per capita average by almost 7%.

California`s economy suffered through a severe recession during the early 1990s but experienced a steady recovery from 1994 to 2000. While the state of California benefited disproportionately from the high- technology sector during the late 1990s, it also suffered greatly when this sector experienced a calamitous reversal in 2001. Exports from California ports fell by 14% in 2001 and by another 13% the following year while unemployment levels rose to 6.7% in 2002. The fallout from the "tech bust" also manifested itself in much lower personal income tax receipts at the state level as capital gains, bonuses, and option income dropped off. Recovery is evident in various statistics for the state: exports from California ports increased 8% in 2004 and another 6% in 2005. Furthermore, employment levels have risen an annual average of 1.1% between 2002 and 2006 (preliminary) while the unemployment rate fell to 4.8% for 2006. The level of economic activity within the state is important as it influences the growth or contraction of state and local government revenues available for operations and debt service.

In the recession of the 1990s, diminished economic activity and overbuilding in certain areas resulted in a contraction in real estate values. To date during this cycle, all urban areas have shown continued increases in property values. Still, declines in property values could still take place and would have a negative effect on the ability of local governments to meet their obligations. California is known for its high cost of housing relative to the rest of the country.

California is more prone to earthquakes than most other states, creating potential economic losses from damages. On January 17, 1994, a major earthquake, measuring 6.8 on the Richter scale, hit Southern California centered in the area of Northridge. Total damage was estimated at $20 billion, offset to an important extent by significant federal aid.

Legislative Due to the funds` concentration in the state of California and its municipal issuers, the funds may be affected by certain amendments to the California Constitution and state statutes that limit the taxing and spending authority of California governmental entities, thus affecting their ability to meet debt service obligations.

In 1978, California voters approved "Proposition 13," adding Article XIIIA to the state constitution which limits ad valorem taxes on real property to 1% of "full cash value" and restricts the ability of taxing entities to increase real property taxes. In subsequent actions, the state substantially increased its expenditures to provide assistance

to its local governments to offset the losses in revenues and to maintain essential local services; in the early 1990s the state decreased local aid in response to its own fiscal pressures.

Another constitutional amendment, Article XIIIB, was passed by voters in 1979, prohibiting the state from spending revenues beyond its annually adjusted "appropriations limit." Any revenues exceeding this limit must be returned to the taxpayers as a revision in the tax rate or fee schedule over the following two years. Such a refund, in the amount of $1.1 billion, occurred in fiscal year 1987.

Proposition 218, the "Right to Vote on Taxes Act," was approved by voters in 1996. It further restricts the ability of local governments to levy and collect both existing and future taxes, assessments, and fees. In addition to further limiting the financial flexibility of local governments in the state, it also increases the possibility of voter- determined tax rollbacks and repeals. The interpretation and application of this proposition will ultimately be determined by the courts.

An effect of the tax and spending limitations in California has been a broad scale shift by local governments away from general obligation debt that requires voter approval and pledging future tax revenues toward lease revenue financing that is subject to abatement and does not require voter approval. Lease-backed debt is generally viewed as a less secure form of borrowing and therefore entails greater credit risk. Local governments also raise capital through the use of Mello-Roos, 1915 Act, and Tax Increment Bonds, all of which are generally riskier than general obligation debt as they often rely on tax revenues to be generated by future development for their support.

Proposition 98, enacted in 1988, changed the state`s method of funding education for grades below the university level. Under this constitutional amendment, the schools are guaranteed a minimum share of state general fund revenues. The major effect of Proposition 98 has been to restrict the state`s flexibility to respond to fiscal stress.

Future initiatives, if proposed and adopted, or future court decisions could create renewed pressure on California governments and their ability to raise revenues. The state and its underlying localities have displayed flexibility, however, in overcoming the negative effects of past initiatives.

Financial The dramatic downturn of the high-technology economy and the resultant plunge in state revenues placed the state`s budget under considerable strain. As mentioned above, the state`s general obligation bonds were downgraded multiple times during the 2001 — 2003 period, but were upgraded during 2004 and 2005. As of January 1, 2007, California`s debt remained one of the lowest rated of the 50 states.

Fiscal year 2001 was closed with an unrestricted general fund balance ( "UGFB" ) of $4.2 billion. Much of this reserve was the result of explosive growth in income tax receipts from capital gains and bonus income. The combination of a slowing economy, falling equity markets, and the state`s progressive income tax structure led to a substantial drop in the UGFB to a negative $6.0 billion for fiscal year 2002 and a further drop to a negative $15.4 billion for fiscal year 2003. Through fund shifts, deficit bond proceeds, fee increases, a tax amnesty program, and lower aid to localities including primary and secondary education as well as improving economic conditions, fiscal year 2004 closed with an improved, albeit still negative, $3.2 billion UGFB. The state`s fiscal actions have historically been quite assertive and the consequences of these actions reach far beyond its own general obligation bond ratings as many state agencies and local governments depend upon state appropriations. Additionally, the state intends to repay its recently issued Economic Recovery Bonds, issued to help bridge the gap in revenues during 2003 and 2004, with local sales tax receipts. Though the state has promised to make up all revenues shifted from local governments, an inability or unwillingness to fully make up the amount would have a negative impact on local governments. During fiscal year 2005, improvement in California`s fiscal picture is evident as the state posted an UGFB of negative $1.4 billion. In fiscal year 2006, revenues are expected to exceed expenditures by $2 billion, but officials estimate out-year budget gaps of $7 billion and $1 billion which will need to be addressed in fiscal year 2007 and onward.

On December 6, 1994, Orange County filed for protection under Chapter 9 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code after reports of significant losses in its investment pool. Upon restructuring, the realized losses in the pool were $1.6 billion or 21% of assets. More than 200 public entities, most but not all of which are located in Orange County, were also depositors in the pool. The county defaulted on a number of its debt obligations. The county emerged from bankruptcy on June 12, 1996. Through a series of long-term financings, it repaid most of its obligations to pool depositors and has become current on its public debt obligations. The balance of claims against the county

<R>

</R>

are payable from any proceeds received from litigation against securities dealers and other parties. The county`s ratings were restored to investment grade in 1998 and were upgraded again during the 2000 to 2002 time frame.

In a ruling dating from December 2001, the Orange County Superior Court held that the Orange County assessor violated the 2% annual inflation adjustment provision of Proposition 13 by increasing the taxable value of a property by 4% following a decline in valuations. The case had been certified as a class action in Orange County, but local courts in other counties arrived at differing conclusions on similar issues in their counties. The case was appealed to the state`s Appellate Court. The Appellate Court held that the trial court erred in ruling that assessments are always limited to no more than 2% of the previous year`s levels. In 2004, the California Supreme Court denied a petition for review. As a result of this litigation, the "recapture" provision may be employed for property tax purposes.

Sectors Certain areas of potential investment concentration present unique risks. A significant portion of the fund`s assets may be invested in health care issues. For over a decade, the hospital industry has been under significant pressure to reduce expenses and shorten the length of patients` stays, a phenomenon that has negatively affected the financial health of many hospitals. While each hospital bond issue is separately secured by the individual hospital`s revenues, common to all hospitals is reliance to some degree on third-party reimbursement sources such as the federal Medicare and federal/state Medicaid programs as well as private insurers. An individual hospital may be affected to the extent these payors reduce their reimbursements.

The funds may from time to time invest in electric revenue issues. The financial performance of these utilities was impacted by the industry`s moves toward deregulation and increased competition. California`s electric utility restructuring plan, Assembly Bill 1890, permitted direct competition to be phased in between 1998 and 2002. This restructuring plan proved to be flawed as it placed over reliance on the spot market for power purchases during a period of substantial supply and demand imbalance. Municipal utilities, while not subject to the legislation, were faced with competitive market forces and worked to pro actively prepare for deregulation. Now that deregulation has been suspended, municipal utilities face a more traditional set of challenges. In particular, some electric revenue issuers have exposure to or participate in nuclear power plants, which could affect the issuer`s financial performance. Risks include unexpected outages, plant shutdowns, and increased Nuclear Regulatory Commission surveillance.

The funds may invest in private activity bond issues for corporate and nonprofit borrowers. Sold through various governmental conduits, these issues are backed solely by the revenues pledged by the respective borrowing corporations. No governmental support is implied.

Georgia Tax-Free Bond Fund

Risk Factors Associated With a Georgia Portfolio

The fund`s concentration in the debt obligations of one state carries a higher risk than a portfolio that is geographically diversified. In addition to State of Georgia general obligations and state agency issues, the fund will invest in local bond issues, lease obligations, and revenue bonds, the credit quality and risk of which will vary according to each security`s own structure and underlying economics.

Debt The State of Georgia and its local governments issued just over $7.5 bil lion in municipal bonds in 2006, a 5.6% increase over 2006. As of April 1, 2007, the state was rated Aaa by Moody`s and AAA by S&P and Fitch. The state`s rating outlook was stable for Moody`s and S&P. Fitch does not generally assign outlooks to state ratings.

The State of Georgia currently has net direct obligations of approximately $8.13 billion. In 1973, a Constitutional Amendment authorizing the issuance of state general obligation ( "GO" ) bonds was implemented. Since the implementation of the amendment, the state has funded most of its capital needs through the issu ance of GO bonds. Previously, capital requirements were funded through the issuance of bonds by 10 separate authorities and secured by lease rental agree ments and annual state appropriations. Georgia`s Constitution permits the state to issue bonds for two types of public purposes: (1) general obligation debt and (2) guaranteed revenue debt. The Georgia Constitution imposes certain debt limits and controls. The state`s GO debt service cannot exceed 10% of total reve nue receipts less refunds of the state treasury. The state`s GO bonds must have a maximum maturity of 25 years. On April 1, 2007, 67.7% of the state`s debt was scheduled to be amortized in

10 years or less. Maximum GO debt service requirements are well below the legal limit at 6.2% of fiscal year 2006 treasury receipts.

The state established "debt affordability" limits which provide that outstanding debt will not exceed 2.7% of personal income or that maximum annual debt ser vice will not exceed 5% of the prior year`s revenues. The state`s near-term debt offerings are projected to maintain its total debt within these limits.

Economy The state`s economy has rebounded well from the national economic recession that began in 2001. The state`s financial performance in fiscal years 2005 and 2006 resulted in strong year-over-year revenue growth, leading to strong budget surpluses that were used to restore and strengthen the state`s Rainy Day Fund. Over the same time frame, the state`s job market experienced strong job growth, resulting in the state`s unemployment rate improving to 4.5% at the end of 2006 from 5.0% at the end of 2005. The services sector continues as the state`s leading employment sector at 37.4% of its total employment. The state`s other leading employment sectors include the trade sector at 21.3%, government at 16.3%, and manufacturing at 11.0%. The Atlanta metropolitan statistical area continues to serve as the state`s economic center, capturing approximately 56.6% of the state`s employment. This area includes Atlanta, the state`s capitol, and 20 surrounding counties. The next largest metropolitan statistical area is the Columbus-Muscogee area.

The state`s moderate cost of living and research centers provided by its colleges and universities continue to attract a very skilled labor force. The state`s unem ployment rate is just above the US average. The state`s median household income levels are slightly above the U.S. average. The state`s income levels appear more favorable when taking into account costs of living and quality of life indicators.

Financial The creditworthiness of the portfolio is largely dependent on the financial strength of the State of Georgia and its localities. The state`s strong eco nomic performance has translated into its strong financial performance and the accumulation of substantial reserves.

Through the first nine months of fiscal year 2007, the state`s revenue collections are up 5.8%, continuing to show signs of a strong economy. Despite the strong collections, the governor has continued to exhibit sound fiscal management by budgeting conservatively and rebuilding the state`s Rainy Day Fund with excess receipt s.

A significant portion of the portfolio`s assets is expected to be invested in the debt obligations of local governments and public authorities with investment-grade ratings of BBB or higher. While local governments in Georgia are prima rily reliant on independent revenue sources, such as property taxes, they are not immune to budget shortfalls caused by cutbacks in state aid. The fund may pur chase obligations issued by public authorities in Georgia which are not backed by the full faith and credit of the state and may or may not be subject to annual appropriations from the state`s general fund. Likewise, certain enterprises such as water and sewer systems or hospitals may be affected by changes in eco nomic activity.

Sectors Certain areas of potential investment concentration present unique risks. A significant portion of the fund`s assets may be invested in health care issues. For over a decade, the hospital industry has been under significant pres sure to reduce expenses and shorten the length of hospital stays, a phenomenon that has negatively affected the financial health of many hospitals. All hospitals are dependent on third-party reimbursement sources such as the federal Medi care and state Medicaid programs or private insurers. To the extent these payors reduce reimbursement levels, the individual hospitals may be affected. In the face of these pressures, the trend of hospital mergers and acquisitions has accel erated in recent years. These organizational changes present both risks and opportunities for the institutions involved.

The fund may from time to time invest in electric revenue issues that have expo sure to or participate in nuclear power plants that could affect issuers` financial performance. Such risks include unexpected outages or plant shutdowns, increased Nuclear Regulatory Commission surveillance, or inadequate rate relief. In addition, the financial performance of electric utilities may be impacted by increased competition and deregulation of the electric utility industry.

The fund may invest in private activity bond issues for corporate and nonprofit borrowers. Sold through various governmental conduits, these issues are backed solely by the revenues pledged by the respective borrowing corporations. No governmental support is implied.

Maryland Short-Term Tax-Free Bond, Maryland Tax-Free Bond, and Maryland Tax-Free Money Funds

Risk Factors Associated With a Maryland Portfolio

The funds` concentration in the debt obligations of one state carries a higher risk than a portfolio that is more geographically diversified. In addition to state of Maryland general obligation bonds and debt issued by state agencies, the funds will invest in local bond issues, lease obligations, and revenue bonds; the credit quality and risk will vary according to each security`s own structure and underlying economics.

Debt The state of Maryland and its local governments issue two basic types of debt, with varying degrees of credit risk: general obligation bonds backed by the unlimited taxing power of the issuer and revenue bonds secured by specific pledged fees or charges for a related project. Included within the revenue bond sector are tax-exempt lease obligations that are subject to annual appropriations of a governmental body, usually with no implied tax or specific revenue pledge.

The state of Maryland disclosed in its fiscal year 2006 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report ( "CAFR" ), dated June 30, 2006, that it had approximately $4.9 billion of general obligation bonds outstanding. As of March 14, 2007, general obligation debt of the state of Maryland was rated Aaa by Moody`s and AAA by S&P and Fitch. There is no general debt limit imposed by the state constitution or public general laws. The state constitution does, however, imposes a 15-year maturity limit on state general obligation bonds. Although voters approved a constitutional amendment in 1982 permitting the state to borrow up to $100 million in short-term notes in anticipation of taxes and revenues, the state has not made use of this authority.

Many agencies of the state government are authorized to borrow money under legislation which expressly provides that the loan obligations shall not be deemed to constitute debt or a pledge of the faith and credit of the state. The Community Development Administration of the Department of Housing and Community Development, the Maryland Water Quality Financing Administration of the Department of Environment, the Maryland State Lottery Agency, certain state higher education institutions, the Maryland Stadium Authority, the Maryland Food Center Authority, and the Maryland Environmental Service have issued bonds and have outstanding bonds of this type. The principal of and interest on bonds issued by these bodies are payable solely from pledged revenues, principally fees generated from use of the facilities, enterprises financed by the bonds, or other dedicated fees.

Economy The Maryland Board of Revenue Estimates reports that, according to several measures, the state`s economy outperformed the nation, even during the nationwide slowdown earlier this decade. That slowdown reduced employment and personal income growth. However, the extent of the reduction was not as severe in Maryland as in other states. One reason for this is Maryland`s limited exposure to the manufacturing sector, which had been hard hit by economic conditions. Maryland has participated strongly in the economic recovery.

Financial To a large degree, the risk of the portfolio is dependent upon the financial strength of the state of Maryland and its localities. The state continues to demonstrate a conservative approach to managing its finances but was not immune to the national economic downturn. Fiscal year 2003 concluded with a general fund operating deficit, and the general fund balance declined from $1.6 billion to $1.2 billion, representing a still solid 7% of general fund expenditures. Revenue growth had basically stalled and expenditures rose, primarily for Medicaid and education. Fiscal year 2004 showed better results as the economy lifted. Maryland`s general fund earned a 2% surplus in 2004. Fiscal years 2005 and 2006 showed even better results; Maryland`s general fund earned surpluses of 6% and 5%, respectively. The state`s reserve fund increased to $811 million as of June 30, 2006, a solid 6% of general fund revenue.

Sectors Investment concentration in a particular sector can present unique risks. A significant portion of the funds` assets may be invested in health care issues. For over a decade, the hospital industry has been under significant pressure to reduce expenses and shorten length of stays, a phenomenon which has negatively affected the financial health of some hospitals. All hospitals are dependent on third-party reimbursement mechanisms. At the present time, Maryland is the only state in which such reimbursement is determined by a state- administered set of rates and charges that applies to all payors. Under a federal waiver, Medicare reimburses Maryland hospitals according to this system rather than the Federal Diagnosis-Related Group system required elsewhere. In order to maintain this Medicare waiver, the cumulative rate of increase in Maryland hospital charges since the base year 1981 must remain below that of U.S. hospitals overall. Although in certain years the increase in Maryland hospital charges did exceed the national average, the cumulative rate of increase since the

base year still remains below the national average. Any loss of the Medicare waiver in the future may have an adverse impact on the credit quality of Maryland hospitals.

The funds may from time to time invest in electric revenue issues that have exposure to or participate in nuclear power plants, which could affect the issuer`s financial performance. Such risks include delay in construction and operation due to increased regulation, unexpected outages or plant shutdowns, increased Nuclear Regulatory Commission surveillance, or inadequate rate relief. In addition, the financial performance of electric utilities may be impacted by increased competition and deregulation of the industry.

New Jersey Tax-Free Bond Fund

Risk Factors Associated With a New Jersey Portfolio

The fund`s concentration in the debt obligations of one state carries a higher risk than a portfolio that is more geographically diversified. In addition to state of New Jersey general obligation bonds and debt issued by state agencies, the fund will invest in local bond issues, lease obligations, and revenue bonds; the credit quality and risk will vary according to each security`s structure and underlying economics.

Debt The state of New Jersey and its local governments issue two basic types of debt: general obligation bonds, which are backed by the unlimited taxing power of the issuer, and revenue bonds, which are secured by specific pledged fees or charges, often from a related project. Included within the revenue bond sector are tax-exempt lease obligations that are subject to annual appropriations of a governmental body, usually with no implied tax or specific revenue pledge. The credit risks of all debt forms vary with the obligation`s structure and ultimate obligor.

The state of New Jersey reported in its fiscal year 2006 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report ( "CAFR" ) that it had closed fiscal year 2006, which ended June 30, 2006, with approximately $38.2 billion in long-term debt outstanding, representing an increase of approximately 17% over the previous year and continuing the state`s trend of significant annual debt issuance. This debt level yields a debt burden of about $3,752 debt per capita and ranks New Jersey among the most heavily indebted states. These debt figures include revenue bonds issued by the New Jersey Building Authority, the Garden State Preservation Trust, and the New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund Authority, as well as annual appropriations for installment obligations, capital leases, and certificates of participation. The majority of the state`s debt is "appropriation-backed," meaning that debt service on such obligations must be appropriated annually by the legislature. Only $3.2 billion of the state`s outstanding debt was direct general obligation debt as of June 30, 2006.

Many agencies of the state government are authorized to borrow money under legislation that expressly provides that the loan obligations shall not be deemed to constitute debt or a pledge of the faith and credit of the state. The New Jersey Building Authority, New Jersey Transportation Trust Fund Authority, New Jersey Economic Development Authority, New Jersey Educational Facilities Authority, New Jersey Health Care Facilities Financing Authority, New Jersey Highway Authority, New Jersey Housing and Mortgage Finance Agency, New Jersey Sports and Exposition Authority, New Jersey Transit Corporation, and New Jersey Turnpike Authority are among the entities with outstanding bonds of this nature.

Economy New Jersey`s economic expansion continued in 2006, albeit at a slower pace than experienced in 2005. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS), the state`s annual unemployment rate increased slightly to 4.6% in 2006 from 4.5% in 2005 and remains above the low of 3.7% recorded in 2000. Personal income growth is also important to watch, as nearly all debt is paid from the income of state residents either directly or indirectly. Personal income grew an estimated 5.1% for the first quarter of 2006 and is expected to have maintained moderate growth throughout 2006. The state expects its economy to mirror the national trend in 2007, with momentum slowing as the housing sector begins to cool.

Financial To a large degree, the credit risk of the portfolio is linked to the financial strength of the state of New Jersey and its localities. The state`s economy reached a recent low point in 2003, with recovery taking hold in 2004 and continuing through 2006. According to the 2006 CAFR, New Jersey ended fiscal year 2006 with a general fund net surplus of $1.2 billion, increasing the total ending fund balance to $4.4 billion. Within this

fund balance, New Jersey`s designated xd4 rainy day` fund increased to $560 million, representing 2% of 2006 revenues. Total general fund revenues increased by $1.96 billion, although on a budgetary basis revenue collections were $2.5 billion below the final budget. While many of New Jersey`s integral revenue sources improved substantially in fiscal 2006, the overall rate of increase was lower than experienced in fiscal 2005. For example, gross income taxes, the state`s largest source of tax revenues, increased 10% in 2006 compared with a 29% increase in 2005.

Results are not currently available for fiscal year 2007, which will close on June 30, 2007. Governor Corzine delivered his budget proposal for fiscal year 2008 on February 22, 2007. Corzine`s proposal represents a spending increase of approximately 7% over the prior year`s budget but contains no tax increases. Last year, the fiscal 2007 budget process was highly contentious, resulting in a partial government shutdown until the budget was adopted several days beyond the statutory deadline of July 1.

Sectors Investment concentration in a particular sector can present unique risks. A significant portion of the fund`s assets may be invested in health care issues. For over a decade, the hospital industry has been under significant pressure to reduce expenses and shorten the length of patients` stays, a phenomenon that has negatively affected the financial health of many hospitals. While each hospital bond issue is separately secured by the individual hospital`s revenues, common to all hospitals is reliance to some degree on third-party reimbursement sources such as the federal Medicare and federal/state Medicaid programs as well as private insurers. An individual hospital may be affected to the extent these payors reduce their reimbursements.

The fund may invest in electric revenue issues that have exposure to or participate in nuclear power plants, which could affect the issuer`s financial performance. Such risks include increased regulation and associated expenses, unexpected outages or plant shutdowns, increased Nuclear Regulatory Commission surveillance, or inadequate rate relief. In addition, the financial performance of electric utilities may deteriorate from increased competition and deregulation in the industry.

The fund may invest in private activity bond issues of corporate and nonprofit borrowers. These issues are sold through government conduits, such as the New Jersey Economic Development Authority and various local issuers, and are backed solely by the revenues pledged by the respective borrowing corporations. No governmental support is implied. In the past, a number of New Jersey Economic Development Authority issues have defaulted as a result of borrower financial difficulties.

The fund may participate in solid waste projects. Several billion dollars of bonds to fund incinerator and solid waste projects have been issued by a number of counties and utility authorities in the state. Various federal court decisions in the mid-199 0 s that struck down New Jersey`s system of solid waste flow control increases the potential risk of default for certain bonds. Although there is no legal obligation to do so, however, the state has provided funds for debt payments.

New York Tax-Free Bond and New York Tax-Free Money Funds

Risk Factors Associated With a New York Portfolio

In addition to state of New York general obligation bonds and debt issued by state agencies, the funds will invest in local bond issues, lease obligations, and revenue bonds; the credit quality and risk will vary according to each security`s own structure and underlying economics. Concentration in the debt obligations of one state translates into higher risk than a portfolio that is more geographically diversified.

The funds` ability to maintain credit quality is dependent upon the ability and willingness of New York issuers to meet their debt service obligations in a timely fashion. In 1975, the state, New York City, and other related issuers experienced serious financial difficulties that ultimately resulted in much lower credit ratings and an inability to access public debt markets. A series of fiscal reforms and an improved economic climate allowed these entities to return to financial stability by the early 1980s. Credit ratings were reinstated or raised and access to the public credit markets was restored; in fact, New York City currently boasts its highest credit ratings in history. Today, the state and the city continue to face fiscal pressures and structural budget imbalances, which arise when recurring revenues are insufficient to cover projected expenses. Over the past few years, however, a gradual economic recovery has taken place, stimulated by steady job growth, a recovering financial services industry, and a strong New York City real estate market.

On September 11, 2001, hijackers piloted two passenger jetliners into the twin towers of the World Trade Center. The attack destroyed the World Trade Center, damaged nearby buildings, and caused significant loss of life. The economic dislocation to the state and especially to New York City was substantial. Various efforts are underway to encourage the redevelopment of downtown New York City, including the rebuilding of commercial and rental housing space. To date, there have been delays in the effort to rebuild xd4 ground zero,` the site of the twin towers. Tourism has recovered, with high hotel occupancy in the city. Nevertheless, some of the economic activity present before the attack may never return, as firms displaced by the event choose to relocate elsewhere or do not recover.

New York State

The state of New York disclosed in its fiscal year 2006 Comprehensive Annual Financial Report ( "CAFR" ) that it had ended fiscal 2006, which closed on March 31, with a general fund net gain of $1.6 billion, representing 4% of revenues and increasing the total general fund balance to $2.2 billion. While New York`s primary tax receipts improved in 2006, the rate of increase was lower than experienced in fiscal 2005. In fiscal 2006, personal income tax receipts increased 10% to $30.8 billion and sales tax receipts increased 2% to $11.2 billion. Based on the most recent estimates, the state is expected to close fiscal 2007 with a general fund surplus of $1.5 billion, again supported by strong tax collections.

Newly elected Governor Eliot Spitzer presented his fiscal 2008 budget proposal on January 31, 2007. While the state legislature enacted on-time budgets for both fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2007, historically New York`s budget process has been highly contentious and politicized, often resulting in late budget adoption. In addition, the state continues to face significant outyear budget gaps, or potential deficits. If adopted in its current form, Governor Spitzer`s executive budget leaves future-year gaps of $2.3 billion in 2009, $4.5 billion in 2010 and $6.3 billion in 2011.

New York is one of the most highly indebted states in the nation. In its 2005 CAFR, the state reported $47.1 billion of total primary government debt, equal to approximately $2,440 debt per capita and down slightly (1%) from $47.5 billion of debt outstanding at the end of fiscal 2005. These debt figures include capital lease obligations, state-guaranteed tobacco settlement bonds, and other state-supported debt. The majority of the state`s debt is "appropriation-backed," meaning that debt service on such obligations must be appropriated annually by the legislature. Only $3.5 billion of the state`s outstanding debt was direct general obligation debt as of March 31, 2006.

Certain authorities are heavily reliant on annual direct state support, such as the Urban Development Corporation ( "UDC" ), a public benefit corporation now known as the Empire State Development Corporation. In February 1975, the UDC defaulted on approximately $1 billion of short-term notes. The default was ultimately cured by the creation of the Project Finance Authority, through which the state provided assistance to the UDC, including support for debt service. Since then, there have been no other defaults by state authorities.

To a large degree, the risk of the portfolio is dependent upon the economic health of the state of New York and its localities. The state`s economy had been showing signs of reduced growth due to the national economic slowdown even before the heinous terrorist acts of September 11, 2001. The state`s reliance on the securities industry served it well during the boom years of the late 1990s, but haunted it during the downsizing that began in 2001. Job and wage recovery took firm hold in 2004, however, and continued through 2006. New York`s annual unemployment rate declined to 4.5% in 2006 from 5.0% in 2005 and 5.8% in 2004. As the state`s economic expansion seems to have peaked, future job and economic growth is expected to moderate, remaining positive but potentially lagging the national growth trends.

New York City

As of March 15, 2007, the general obligation debt of the city was rated A1 by Moody`s, AA- by S&P, and A+ by Fitch. S&P`s rating reflects an upgrade that occurred in May 2006. The city`s credit ratings carry "stable" outlooks from all three agencies, and are the highest ratings New York City has ever attained.

The financial problems of New York City were acute between 1975 and 1979, highlighted by a payment moratorium on the city`s short-term obligations. The city was placed under the oversight of the New York State Financial Control Board; this entity`s power to impose a "Control Period" upon the city expires July 1, 2008. The most important contribution to the city`s fiscal recovery was the creation of the Municipal Assistance Corporation ( "MAC" ) for the city of New York. Backed by sales, use, stock transfer, and other taxes, MAC

<R>

issued bonds and used the proceeds to purchase city bonds and notes. In October 2004, the state refunded the city`s outstanding MAC debt by issuing Sales Tax Asset Receivable bonds, effectively shifting the debt service obligation to the state and providing a major benefit to the city.

New York City has recovered strongly from the acute shock of the September 11 tragedy and the recent economic downturn. While the national housing slowdown has yet to materially affect the city, it is expected that the deceleration will reach NYC over the next few years. Tourism remains robust, and 2006 represented another record bonus pool for Wall Street, estimated at $24 billion. The city`s annual unemployment rate declined to 4.9% in 2006 from 5.8% in 2005, reaching its lowest level in at least 30 years.

New York City currently expects to close fiscal year 2007, which ends on June 30, with a large $3.9 billion surplus. This projected surplus is attributable to many factors, including another year of higher-than-anticipated tax revenues and the still-strong real estate market. Even as the housing sector cools, because most city real estate tax assessments are phased in over five years, today`s strong real estate market should contribute positively to the city`s finances for the next few years. Mayor Bloomberg`s proposed budget for fiscal 2008 totals $57.1 billion and takes advantage of the expected fiscal 2007 surplus by including approximately $1 billion in tax cuts.

Like the state, New York City continues to struggle with structural budget imbalance, causing large budget gaps in future years: current projections are for $2.6 billion for 2009, $3.7 billion for 2010, and $3.6 billion for 2011. While the city has a history of effectively managing these budget gaps, rising non-discretionary costs such as health care and employee pensions will pressure future budgets.

Sectors A significant portion of the fund`s assets may be invested in health care issues. For over a decade, the hospital industry has been under significant pressure to reduce expenses and shorten the length of patients` stays, a phenomenon that has negatively affected the financial health of many hospitals. While each hospital bond issue is separately secured by the individual hospital`s revenues, common to all hospitals is reliance to some degree on third-party reimbursement sources such as the federal Medicare and federal/state Medicaid programs as well as private insurers. An individual hospital may be affected to the extent these payors reduce their reimbursements.

The funds may invest in private activity bond issues issued by corporate and nonprofit borrowers. These issues, sold through various governmental conduits, are backed solely by the revenues pledged by the respective borrowing corporations. No governmental support is implied. Obligations issued in other states through similar conduits have defaulted in the past as a result of borrower financial difficulties.

The fund may invest in electric revenue issues that have exposure to or participate in nuclear power plants, which could affect the issuer`s financial performance. Such risks include increased regulation and associated expense, unexpected outages or plant shutdowns, increased Nuclear Regulatory Commission surveillance, or inadequate rate relief. In addition, the financial performance of electric utilities may deteriorate from increased competition and deregulation in the industry.

Virginia Tax-Free Bond Fund

Risk Factors Associated With a Virginia Portfolio

The fund`s concentration in the debt obligations of one state carries a higher risk than a portfolio that is geographically diversified. In addition to Commonwealth of Virginia general obligation and agency bond issues, the fund will invest in local bond issues, lease obligations, and revenue bonds; the credit quality and risk will vary according to each security`s own structure and underlying economics.

Debt The Commonwealth of Virginia and its local governments issued $7 billion of municipal bonds in 2006, including general obligation debt backed by the unlimited taxing power of the issuer and revenue bonds secured by specific pledged fees or charges for an enterprise or project. Included within the revenue bond category are tax-exempt lease obligations that are subject to annual appropriations of a governmental body to meet debt service, usually with no implied tax or specific revenue pledge. Debt issued in 2006 was for a wide variety of public purposes, including transportation, housing, education, health care, and industrial development.

As of June 30, 2006, the C ommonwealth of Virginia had $1.0 billion of outstanding general obligation bonds secured by the commonwealth`s revenue and taxing power, a modest amount compared with many other states.

Under state law, general obligation debt is limited to 1.15 times the average of the preceding three years` income tax and sales and use tax collections. The commonwealth`s outstanding general obligation debt is well below that limit and approximately 31% of the debt service is actually met from revenue-producing capital projects at colleges and universities.

The commonwealth also supports $3.4 billion in debt issued by the Virginia Public Building Authority, the Commonwealth Transportation Board, the Virginia College Building Authority, the Virginia Biotechnology Research Park Authority, the Virginia Port Authority, and the Innovative Technology Authority. These bonds are not backed by the full faith and credit of the commonwealth but instead are subject to annual appropriations from the commonwealth`s general fund.

In addition to the commonwealth and public authorities described above, an additional $1.2 billion in moral obligation bonds has been issued by the Virginia Public School Authority, the Virginia Resources Authority, and the Virginia Housing Development Authority. Another $10.5 billion of debt outstanding at several other authorities is partially secured by a contingent appropriation in the event pledged revenues are insufficient to cover debt service.

Economy The Commonwealth of Virginia has a population of approximately 7.6 million, making it the twelfth largest state. Since the 1930s the commonwealth`s population has grown at a rate near or exceeding the national average. Stable to strong economic growth since the 1990s has been led by the Northern Virginia area outside of Washington, D.C., where nearly a third of the commonwealth`s population is concentrated. The next largest metropolitan area is the Virginia Beach-Norfolk-Newport News area, followed by the Richmond area, which includes the capital, Richmond. The commonwealth`s economy is broadly based, with a large concentration in service and governmental jobs, followed by education, health, and manufacturing. Virginia has significant concentrations of high-technology employers, predominantly in Northern Virginia. Per capita income exceeds national averages while unemployment figures have consistently tracked below national averages.

Financial To a large degree, the risk of the portfolio is dependent on the financial strength of the Co mmonwealth of Virginia and its localities. Virginia is rated Aaa by Moody`s and AAA by S&P and Fitch. Moody`s, S&P, and Fitch maintain stable outlooks. In May 2004, Moody`s revised its outlook back to stable from negative, where it had been since December 2001. The negative outlook reflected Virginia`s sizable budget gaps brought about by slowing revenues and rising expenditures during the recession. Governor Warner and the Virginia Assembly closed this budget gap by cutting expenditures and allowing transfers from the Revenue Stabilization Fund. In addition, the car tax relief program was frozen at 70%. The Revenue Stabilization Fund is specifically earmarked to cushion against such a slowdown. In May 2004, Virginia`s General Assembly and the Governor passed a balanced budget with an estimated $1.6 billion revenue enhancement package and, as a result, Moody`s returned Virginia`s outlook to stable and took it off Watch list.

The commonwealth`s budget is prepared on a biennial basis. From 1970 through 2000, the general fund showed a positive balance for all of its two-year budgetary periods. The national recession and its negative effects on Virginia`s personal income tax collections did, however, force the commonwealth to draw down its general fund balances in 1992, 2001, 2002, and 2003. In fiscal year 2004, with the recession lifted, Virginia`s general fund earned a healthy surplus of $555 million or 5% of revenues as revenues outpaced the prior year by 10% and expenditures were held flat. Healthy surpluses were earned in 2005 and 2006 as well; $756 million was earned in fiscal year 2005, representing 5% of revenues and $1.0 billion was earned in fiscal year 2006, representing 7% of revenues. On June 30, 2006, the Revenue Stabilization Fund totaled $1.1 billion, representing 7% of revenues.

A significant portion of the fund`s assets is expected to be invested in the debt obligations of local governments and public authorities with investment-grade ratings of BBB or higher. While local governments in Virginia are primarily reliant on independent revenue sources such as property taxes, they are not immune to budget shortfalls caused by cutbacks in state aid. Likewise, certain enterprises such as toll roads or hospitals may be affected by changes in economic activity.

reimbursement sources such as the federal Medicare and federal/state Medicaid programs as well as private insurers. An individual hospital may be affected to the extent these payors reduce their reimbursements.

The fund may from time to time invest in electric revenue issues that have exposure to or participate in nuclear power plants, which could affect the issuer`s financial performance. Such risks include unexpected outages or plant shutdowns, increased Nuclear Regulatory Commission surveillance, or inadequate rate relief.

The fund may invest in private activity bond issues of corporate and nonprofit borrowers. These issues sold through various governmental conduits are backed solely by the revenues pledged by the respective borrowing corporations. No governmental support is implied.

All State Tax-Free Funds

Puerto Rico From time to time, the funds invest in obligations of Puerto Rico and its public corporations, which are exempt from federal, state, and local income taxes. As of March 15, 2007, the general obligation debt of the Commonwealth was rated Baa 3 by Moody`s and BBB by S&P. Both agencies have assigned a negative outlook to the ratings. The action reflects their concerns regarding a weak economy, structural budget imbalance, rising debt burden and insufficient reform measures.

Debt As of December 31, 2006, debt outstanding of Puerto Rico borrowers totaled approximately $46 billion. This includes bonds supported by the Commonwealth`s general obligation pledge, appropriations or guaranteed; public corporations such as highways, water and sewer, and electric power, among others, and municipalities. Though different measures suggest Puerto Rico`s debt burden is high relative to a U.S. state, the Commonwealth issues or supports bonds on behalf of municipalities and other governmental units. In many cases, this type of debt would be issued by local government or public agencies independent entities in the U.S. One measure to monitor the Commonwealth debt levels is by comparing the rate of growth of its debt to the rate of growth of its gross domestic product ( "GDP" ). For the five -year period ended in June 2005, total debt increased by 46% whereas GDP rose by 19%.

Economy Puerto Rico`s economy is closely linked to the United States as 45% of all imports were from and 83% of all exports were to the U.S. and 50% of Puerto Rico imports were from the U.S. Manufacturing, especially of pharmaceuticals, is very important to the local economy. Manufacturing accounts for 40% of GDP (2005) and 11% (2006) of non farm payroll employment. Total employment in the manufacturing sector declined 10% between 2002 — 2006 to 112,000. Many of the job losses were in labor-intensive industries such as textiles, tuna canning, and leather products, as jobs in this sector shift to more capital-intensive and skilled positions. The service sector is also key and represents 40% of GDP and 51% of employment. Tourism, in particular, is important to the Commonwealth as San Juan is the largest homeport for cruise ships in the Caribbean and one of the largest in the world. Visitors` expenditures increased 4.4% annually between 2001 and 2005 and accounted for 3.9% of the Commonwealth`s GDP. The prominence of tourism, however, represents another risk factor. After the September 11, 2001 tragedy, for example, visitor expenditures dropped nearly 10% in 2002.

For many years, U.S. companies operating in Puerto Rico were eligible to receive a special tax treatment. Since 1976, Section 936 of the U.S. tax code entitled certain corporations to credit income derived from business activities in the Commonwealth against their United States corporate income tax and spurred significant expansion in capital intensive manufacturing, particularly large pharmaceutical firms. The tax benefits, however, are being eliminated beginning with the 2006 tax year. While the ultimate impact of the phase outs over the short and long terms cannot be determined, preliminary indications are that major pharmaceutical, instrument, and electronic manufacturing firms have not exited the market, and that over 120 firms have taken advantage of the commonwealth`s replacement tax incentives.

Financial Government officials estimated that General Fund expenditures were $9.6 billion in fiscal year 2006, while revenues were only $8.5 billion, producing a budget gap of $1 billion. The deficit was funded by a loan from the Government Development Bank and local financial institutions. Officials have implemented various fiscal and tax reforms including a sales tax that became effective in November 2006, various expenditure constraints and restructuring the debt, among others. The budget gap for fiscal year 2007 is estimated to be $160 million. However, officials will likely have to continue to address the Commonwealth`s financial position over the next few years.

INVESTMENT PROGRAM

Types of Securities

Set forth below is additional information about certain of the investments described in the funds` prospectuses.

Debt Securities

U.S. Government Obligations Bills, notes, bonds, and other debt securities issued by the U.S. Treasury. These are direct obligations of the U.S. government and differ mainly in the length of their maturities.

U.S. Government Agency Securities Issued or guaranteed by U.S. government-sponsored enterprises and federal agencies. These include securities issued by the Federal National Mortgage Association ( "Fannie Mae" or "FNMA" ), GNMA, Federal Home Loan Bank, Federal Land Banks, Farmers Home Administration, Banks for Cooperatives, Federal Intermediate Credit Banks, Federal Financing Bank, Farm Credit Banks, the Small Business Association, and the Tennessee Valley Authority. Some of these securities are supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. Treasury; the remainder are supported only by the credit of the instrumentality, which may or may not include the right of the issuer to borrow from the U.S. Treasury.

Bank Obligations Certificates of deposit, banker`s acceptances, and other short-term debt obligations. Certificates of deposit are short-term obligations of commercial banks. A banker`s acceptance is a time draft drawn on a commercial bank by a borrower, usually in connection with international commercial transactions. Certificates of deposit may have fixed or variable rates. The funds may invest in U.S. banks, foreign branches of U.S. banks, U.S. branches of foreign banks, and foreign branches of foreign banks.

Savings and Loan Obligations Negotiable certificates of deposit and other short-term debt obligations of savings and loan associations.

Supranational Agencies Securities of certain supranational entities, such as the International Development Bank.

Corporate Debt Securities Outstanding corporate debt securities (e.g., bonds and debentures). Corporate notes may have fixed, variable, or floating rates.

Short-Term Corporate Debt Securities Outstanding nonconvertible corporate debt securities (e.g., bonds and debentures) which have one year or less remaining to maturity. Corporate notes may have fixed, variable, or floating rates.

Commercial Paper and Commercial Notes Short-term promissory notes issued by corporations primarily to finance short-term credit needs. Certain notes may have floating or variable rates and may contain options, exercisable by either the buyer or the seller, that extend or shorten the maturity of the note.

Foreign Government Securities Issued or guaranteed by a foreign government, province, instrumentality, political subdivision, or similar unit thereof.

Funding Agreements Obligations of indebtedness negotiated privately between the funds and an insurance company. Often such instruments will have maturities with unconditional put features, exercisable by the funds, requiring return of principal within one year or less.

There are, of course, other types of securities that are or may become available that are similar to the foregoing, and the funds may invest in these securities.

Mortgage-Related Securities

Mortgage-Backed Securities Mortgage-backed securities are securities representing an interest in a pool of mortgages. The mortgages may be of a variety of types, including adjustable rate, conventional 30-year and 15- year fixed rate, and graduated payment mortgages . Principal and interest payments made on the mortgages in the underlying mortgage pool are passed through to the funds. This is in contrast to traditional bonds where principal is normally paid back at maturity in a lump sum. Unscheduled prepayments of principal shorten the securities` weighted average life and may lower their total return. (When a mortgage in the underlying mortgage pool is prepaid, an unscheduled principal prepayment is passed through to the funds. This principal is returned to the funds at par. As a result, if a mortgage security were trading at a premium, its total return would be lowered by prepayments, and if a mortgage security were trading at a discount, its total return would be

increased by prepayments.) The value of these securities also may change because of changes in the market`s perception of the creditworthiness of the federal agency that issued them. In addition, the mortgage securities market in general may be adversely affected by changes in governmental regulation or tax policies.

U.S. Government Agency Mortgage-Backed Securities These are obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. government or one of its agencies or instrumentalities, such as GNMA, FNMA, the Federal Home Loan Mortgage Corporation ( "Freddie Mac" or "FHLMC" ), and the Federal Agricultural Mortgage Corporation ( "Farmer Mac" or "FAMC" ). FNMA, FHLMC, and FAMC obligations are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government as GNMA certificates are, but they are supported by the instrumentality`s right to borrow from the U.S. Treasury. U.S. Government Agency Mortgage-Backed Certificates provide for the pass- through to investors of their pro-rata share of monthly payments (including any prepayments) made by the individual borrowers on the pooled mortgage loans, net of any fees paid to the guarantor of such securities and the servicer of the underlying mortgage loans. Each of GNMA, FNMA, FHLMC, and FAMC guarantees timely distributions of interest to certificate holders. GNMA and FNMA guarantee timely distributions of scheduled principal. FHLMC has in the past guaranteed only the ultimate collection of principal of the underlying mortgage loan; however, FHLMC now issues mortgage-backed securities (FHLMC Gold PCS) which also guarantee timely payment of monthly principal reductions.

GNMA Certificates GNMA is a wholly owned corporate instrumentality of the United States within the Department of Housing and Urban Development. The National Housing Act of 1934, as amended (the "Housing Act" ), authorizes GNMA to guarantee the timely payment of the principal of and interest on certificates that are based on and backed by a pool of mortgage loans insured by the Federal Housing Administration under the Housing Act, or Title V of the Housing Act of 1949 ( "FHA Loans" ), or guaranteed by the Department of Veterans Affairs under the Servicemen`s Readjustment Act of 1944, as amended ( "VA Loans" ), or by pools of other eligible mortgage loans. The Housing Act provides that the full faith and credit of the U.S. government is pledged to the payment of all amounts that may be required to be paid under any guaranty. In order to meet its obligations under such guaranty, GNMA is authorized to borrow from the U.S. Treasury with no limitations as to amount.

FNMA Certificates FNMA is a federally chartered and privately owned corporation organized and existing under the Federal National Mortgage Association Charter Act of 1938. FNMA Certificates represent a pro-rata interest in a group of mortgage loans purchased by FNMA. FNMA guarantees the timely payment of principal and interest on the securities it issues. The obligations of FNMA are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

FHLMC Certificates FHLMC is a corporate instrumentality of the United States created pursuant to the Emergency Home Finance Act of 1970, as amended ( "FHLMC Act" ). FHLMC Certificates represent a pro- rata interest in a group of mortgage loans purchased by FHLMC. FHLMC guarantees timely payment of interest and principal on certain securities it issues and timely payment of interest and eventual payment of principal on other securities it issues. The obligations of FHLMC are obligations solely of FHLMC and are not backed by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government.

FAMC Certificates FAMC is a federally chartered instrumentality of the United States established by Title VIII of the Farm Credit Act of 1971, as amended ( "Charter Act" ). FAMC was chartered primarily to attract new capital for financing of agricultural real estate by making a secondary market in certain qualified agricultural real estate loans. FAMC provides guarantees of timely payment of principal and interest on securities representing interests in, or obligations backed by, pools of mortgages secured by first liens on agricultural real estate. Similar to FNMA and FHLMC, FAMC Certificates are not supported by the full faith and credit of the U.S. government; rather, FAMC may borrow from the U.S. Treasury to meet its guaranty obligations.

As discussed above, prepayments on the underlying mortgages and their effect upon the rate of return of a mortgage-backed security is the principal investment risk for a purchaser of such securities, like the funds. Over time, any pool of mortgages will experience prepayments due to a variety of factors, including (1) sales of the underlying homes (including foreclosures), (2) refinancings of the underlying mortgages, and (3) increased amortization by the mortgagee. These factors, in turn, depend upon general economic factors, such as level of interest rates and economic growth. Thus, investors normally expect prepayment rates to increase during periods of strong economic growth or declining interest rates, and to decrease in recessions and rising interest rate environments. Accordingly, the life of the mortgage-backed security is likely to be substantially shorter than

the stated maturity of the mortgages in the underlying pool. Because of such variation in prepayment rates, it is not possible to predict the life of a particular mortgage-backed security, but FHA statistics indicate that 25- to 30-year single family dwelling mortgages have an average life of approximately 12 years. The majority of GNMA Certificates are backed by mortgages of this type, and, accordingly, the generally accepted practice treats GNMA Certificates as 30-year securities which prepay in full in the 12th year. FNMA and FHLMC Certificates may have differing prepayment characteristics.

Fixed-rate mortgage-backed securities bear a stated "coupon rate" which represents the effective mortgage rate at the time of issuance, less certain fees to GNMA, FNMA, and FHLMC for providing the guarantee, and the issuer for assembling the pool and for passing through monthly payments of interest and principal.

Payments to holders of mortgage-backed securities consist of the monthly distributions of interest and principal less the applicable fees. The actual yield to be earned by a holder of mortgage-backed securities is calculated by dividing interest payments by the purchase price paid for the mortgage-backed securities (which may be at a premium or a discount from the face value of the certificate).

Monthly distributions of interest, as contrasted to semiannual distributions which are common for other fixed interest investments, have the effect of compounding and thereby raising the effective annual yield earned on mortgage-backed securities. Because of the variation in the life of the pools of mortgages which back various mortgage-backed securities, and because it is impossible to anticipate the rate of interest at which future principal payments may be reinvested, the actual yield earned from a portfolio of mortgage-backed securities will differ significantly from the yield estimated by using an assumption of a certain life for each mortgage- backed security included in such a portfolio as described above.

Collateralized Mortgage Obligations ("CMOs") CMOs are bonds that are collateralized by whole loan mortgages or mortgage pass-through securities. The bonds issued in a CMO deal are divided into groups, and each group of bonds is referred to as a "tranche." Under the traditional CMO structure, the cash flows generated by the mortgages or mortgage pass-through securities in the collateral pool are used to first pay interest and then pay principal to the CMO bondholders. The bonds issued under such a CMO structure are retired sequentially as opposed to the pro-rata return of principal found in traditional pass-through obligations. Subject to the various provisions of individual CMO issues, the cash flow generated by the underlying collateral (to the extent it exceeds the amount required to pay the stated interest) is used to retire the bonds. Under the CMO structure, the repayment of principal among the different tranches is prioritized in accordance with the terms of the particular CMO issuance. The "fastest-pay" tranche of bonds, as specified in the prospectus for the issuance, would initially receive all principal payments. When that tranche of bonds is retired, the next tranche, or tranches, in the sequence, as specified in the prospectus, receive all of the principal payments until they are retired. The sequential retirement of bond groups continues until the last tranche, or group of bonds, is retired. Accordingly, the CMO structure allows the issuer to use cash flows of long maturity, monthly pay collateral to formulate securities with short, intermediate, and long final maturities and expected average lives.

In recent years, new types of CMO tranches have evolved. These include floating-rate CMOs, planned amortization classes, accrual bonds, and CMO residuals. These newer structures affect the amount and timing of principal and interest received by each tranche from the underlying collateral. Under certain of these new structures, given classes of CMOs have priority over others with respect to the receipt of prepayments on the mortgages. Therefore, depending on the type of CMOs in which the funds invest, the investment may be subject to a greater or lesser risk of prepayment than other types of mortgage-related securities.

The primary risk of any mortgage security is the uncertainty of the timing of cash flows. For CMOs, the primary risk results from the rate of prepayments on the underlying mortgages serving as collateral and from the structure of the deal (priority of the individual tranches). An increase or decrease in prepayment rates (resulting from a decrease or increase in mortgage interest rates) will affect the yield, average life, and price of CMOs. The prices of certain CMOs, depending on their structure and the rate of prepayments, can be volatile. Some CMOs may also not be as liquid as other securities.

U.S. Government Agency Multi-Class Pass-Through Securities Unlike CMOs, U.S. Government Agency Multi- Class Pass-Through Securities, which include FNMA Guaranteed Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduit Pass-Through Certificates and FHLMC Multi-Class Mortgage Participation Certificates, are ownership interests in a pool of mortgage assets. Unless the context indicates otherwise, all references herein to CMOs include multi-class pass-through securities.

Multi-Class Residential Mortgage Securities Such securities represent interests in pools of mortgage loans to residential home buyers made by commercial banks, savings and loan associations, or other financial institutions. Unlike GNMA, FNMA, and FHLMC securities, the payment of principal and interest on Multi-Class Residential Mortgage Securities is not guaranteed by the U.S. government or any of its agencies. Accordingly, yields on Multi-Class Residential Mortgage Securities have been historically higher than the yields on U.S. government mortgage securities. However, the risk of loss due to default on such instruments is higher since they are not guaranteed by the U.S. government or its agencies. Additionally, pools of such securities may be divided into senior or subordinated segments. Although subordinated mortgage securities may have a higher yield than senior mortgage securities, the risk of loss of principal is greater because losses on the underlying mortgage loans must be borne by persons holding subordinated securities before those holding senior mortgage securities.

Privately Issued Mortgage-Backed Certificates These are pass-through certificates issued by nongovernmental issuers. Pools of conventional residential or commercial mortgage loans created by such issuers generally offer a higher rate of interest than government and government-related pools because there are no direct or indirect government guarantees of payment. Timely payment of interest and principal of these pools is, however, generally supported by various forms of insurance or guarantees, including individual loan, title, pool, and hazard insurance. The insurance and guarantees are issued by government entities, private insurance, or the mortgage poolers. Such insurance and guarantees and the creditworthiness of the issuers thereof will be considered in determining whether a mortgage-related security meets the funds` quality standards. The funds may buy mortgage-related securities without insurance or guarantees if through an examination of the loan experience and practices of the poolers, the investment manager determines that the securities meet the funds` quality standards.

Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities These instruments are a type of potentially high-risk derivative. They represent interests in a pool of mortgages, the cash flow of which has been separated into its interest and principal components. Interest only securities ( "IOs" ) receive the interest portion of the cash flow while principal only securities ( "POs" ) receive the principal portion. IOs and POs are usually structured as tranches of a CMO. Stripped Mortgage-Backed Securities may be issued by U.S. government agencies or by private issuers similar to those described above with respect to CMOs and privately issued mortgage-backed certificates. As interest rates rise and fall, the value of IOs tends to move in the same direction as interest rates. The value of the other mortgage-backed securities described herein, like other debt instruments, will tend to move in the opposite direction compared to interest rates. Under the Code, POs may generate taxable income from the current accrual of original issue discount, without a corresponding distribution of cash to the funds.

The cash flows and yields on IO and PO classes are extremely sensitive to the rate of principal payments (including prepayments) on the related underlying mortgage assets. In the case of IOs, prepayments affect the amount, but not the timing, of cash flows provided to the investor. In contrast, prepayments on the mortgage pool affect the timing, but not the amount, of cash flows received by investors in POs. For example, a rapid or slow rate of principal payments may have a material adverse effect on the prices of IOs or POs, respectively. If the underlying mortgage assets experience greater than anticipated prepayments of principal, investors may fail to fully recoup their initial investment in an IO class of a stripped mortgage-backed security, even if the IO class is rated AAA or Aaa or is derived from a full faith and credit obligation. Conversely, if the underlying mortgage assets experience slower than anticipated prepayments of principal, the price on a PO class will be affected more severely than would be the case with a traditional mortgage-backed security.

The staff of the SEC has advised the funds that it believes the funds should treat IOs and POs, other than government-issued IOs or POs backed by fixed-rate mortgages, as illiquid securities and, accordingly, limit their investments in such securities, together with all other illiquid securities, to 15% of the funds` net assets. Under the staff`s position, the determination of whether a particular government-issued IO or PO backed by fixed-rate mortgages is liquid may be made on a case by case basis under guidelines and standards established by the funds` Boards. The funds` Boards have delegated to T. Rowe Price the authority to determine the liquidity of these investments based on the following guidelines: the type of issuer; type of collateral, including age and prepayment characteristics; rate of interest on coupon relative to current market rates and the effect of the rate on the potential for prepayments; complexity of the issue`s structure, including the number of tranches; and size of the issue and the number of dealers who make a market in the IO or PO.

Adjustable Rate Mortgage Securities ( " ARMs " ) ARMs, like fixed-rate mortgages, have a specified maturity date, and the principal amount of the mortgage is repaid over the life of the mortgage. Unlike fixed-rate mortgages, the interest rate on ARMs is adjusted at regular intervals based on a specified, published interest rate "index" such as a Treasury rate index. The new rate is determined by adding a specific interest amount, the "margin," to the interest rate of the index. Investment in ARM securities allows the funds to participate in changing interest rate levels through regular adjustments in the coupons of the underlying mortgages, resulting in more variable current income and lower price volatility than longer-term fixed-rate mortgage securities. ARM securities are a less effective means of locking in long-term rates than fixed-rate mortgages since the income from adjustable rate mortgages will increase during periods of rising interest rates and decline during periods of falling rates.

Other Mortgage-Related Securities Governmental, government-related, or private entities may create mortgage loan pools offering pass-through investments in addition to those described above. The mortgages underlying these securities may be alternative mortgage instruments, that is, mortgage instruments whose principal or interest payments may vary or whose terms to maturity may differ from customary long-term fixed-rate mortgages. As new types of mortgage-related securities are developed and offered to investors, the investment manager will, consistent with the funds` objectives, policies, and quality standards, consider making investments in such new types of securities.

Asset-Backed Securities

Background The asset-backed securities ( " ABS " ) market has been one of the fastest growing sectors of the U.S. fixed-income market since its inception in late 1985. Although initial ABS transactions were backed by auto loans and credit card receivables, today`s market has evolved to include a variety of asset types including home equity loans, student loans, equipment leases, stranded utility costs, and collateralized bond/loan obligations. For investors, securitization typically provides an opportunity to invest in high-quality securities with higher credit ratings and less downgrade/event risk than corporate bonds. Unlike mortgages, prepayments on ABS collateral are less sensitive to changes in interest rates. They can also be structured into classes that meet the market`s demand for various maturities and credit quality.

Structure Asset-backed securities are bonds that represent an ownership interest in a pool of receivables sold by originators into a special purpose vehicle (SPV). The collateral types can vary, so long as they are secured by homogeneous assets with relatively predictable cash flows. Assets that are transferred through a sale to a special purpose vehicle are legally separated from those of the seller/servicer, which insulates investors from bankruptcy or other event risk associated with the seller/servicer of those assets. Most senior tranches of ABS are structured to a triple-A rated level through credit enhancement ; however, ABS credit ratings range from AAA to non- investment-grade. Many ABS transactions are structured to include payout events/performance triggers which provide added protection against deteriorating credit quality.

ABS structures are generally categorized by two distinct types of collateral. Amortizing assets (such as home equity loans, auto loans, and equipment leases) typically pass through principal and interest payments directly to investors, while revolving assets (such as credit card receivables, home equity lines of credit, and dealer floor- plan loans) typically reinvest principal and interest payments in new collateral for a specified period of time. The majority of amortizing transactions are structured as straight sequential-pay transactions. In these structures, all principal amortization and prepayments are directed to the shortest maturity class until it is retired, then to the next shortest class and so on. The majority of revolving assets are structured as bullets, whereby investors receive periodic interest payments and only one final payment of principal at maturity.

Underlying Assets The asset-backed securities that may be purchased include securities backed by pools of mortgage-related receivables known as home equity loans, or of consumer receivables such as automobile loans or credit card loans. Other types of ABS may also be purchased. The credit quality of most asset-backed securities depends primarily on the credit quality of the assets underlying such securities, how well the entity issuing the securities is insulated from the credit risk of the originator or any other affiliated entities, and the amount and quality of any credit support provided to the securities. The rate of principal payment on asset- backed securities generally depends on the rate of principal payments received on the underlying assets, which in turn may be affected by a variety of economic and other factors. As a result, the yield and return on any asset- backed security is difficult to predict with precision and actual return or yield to maturity may be more or less than the anticipated return or yield to maturity.

Methods of Allocating Cash Flows While some asset-backed securities are issued with only one class of security, many asset-backed securities are issued in more than one class, each with different payment terms. Multiple class asset-backed securities are issued for two main reasons. First, multiple classes may be used as a method of providing credit support. This is accomplished typically through creation of one or more classes whose right to payments on the asset-backed security is made subordinate to the right to such payments of the remaining class or classes. Second, multiple classes may permit the issuance of securities with payment terms, interest rates, or other characteristics differing both from those of each other and from those of the underlying assets. Asset- backed securities in which the payment streams on the underlying assets are allocated in a manner different than those described above may be issued in the future. The funds may invest in such asset-backed securities if the investment is otherwise consistent with the fund`s investment objectives, policies, and restrictions.

Types of Credit Support Asset-backed securities are typically backed by a pool of assets representing the obligations of a diversified pool of numerous obligors. To lessen the effect of failures by obligors on the ability of underlying assets to make payments, such securities may contain elements of credit support. Such credit support falls into two classes: liquidity protection and protection against ultimate default by an obligor on the underlying assets. Liquidity protection refers to the provision of advances, generally by the entity administering the pool of assets, to ensure that scheduled payments on the underlying pool are made in a timely fashion. Protection against ultimate default ensures ultimate payment of the obligations on at least a portion of the assets in the pool. Such protection may be provided through guarantees, insurance policies, or letters of credit obtained from third parties, "external credit enhancement", through various means of structuring the transaction, "internal credit enhancement", or through a combination of such approaches. Examples of asset- backed securities with credit support arising out of the structure of the transaction include:

Excess Spread Typically , the first layer of protection against losses, equal to the cash flow from the underlying receivables remaining after deducting the sum of the investor coupon, servicing fees, and losses.

Subordination Interest and principal that would have otherwise been distributed to a subordinate class is used to support the more senior classes. This feature is intended to enhance the likelihood that the holder of the senior class certificate will receive regular payments of interest and principal. Subordinate classes have a greater risk of loss than senior classes.

Reserve Funds Cash that is deposited and/or captured in a designated account that may be used to cover any shortfalls in principal, interest, or servicing fees.

Overcollateralization A form of credit enhancement whereby the principal amount of collateral used to secure a given transaction exceeds the principal of the securities issued. Overcollateralization can be created at the time of issuance or may build over time.

Surety Bonds Typically consist of third party guarantees to irrevocably and unconditionally make timely payments of interest and ultimate repayment of principal in the event there are insufficient cash flows from the underlying collateral.

The degree of credit support provided on each issue is based generally on historical information respecting the level of credit risk associated with such payments. Depending upon the type of assets securitized, historical information on credit risk and prepayment rates may be limited or even unavailable. Delinquency or loss in excess of that anticipated could adversely affect the return on an investment in an asset-backed security. There is no guarantee that the amount of any type of credit enhancement available will be sufficient to protect against future losses on the underlying collateral.

Some of the specific types of ABS that the funds may invest in include the following :

Home Equity Loans These ABS typically are backed by pools of mortgage loans made to subprime borrowers or borrowers with blemished credit histories. The underwriting standards for these loans are more flexible than the standards generally used by banks for borrowers with non-blemished credit histories with regard to the borrower`s credit standing and repayment ability. Borrowers who qualify generally have impaired credit histories, which may include a record of major derogatory credit items such as outstanding judgments or prior bankruptcies. In addition, they may not have the documentation required to qualify for a standard mortgage loan.

As a result, the mortgage loans in the mortgage pool are likely to experience rates of delinquency, foreclosure, and bankruptcy that are higher, and that may be substantially higher, than those experienced by mortgage loans underwritten in a more traditional manner. Furthermore, changes in the values of the mortgaged properties, as well as changes in interest rates, may have a greater effect on the delinquency, foreclosure, bankruptcy, and loss experience of the mortgage loans in the mortgage pool than on mortgage loans originated in a more traditional manner.

With respect to first lien mortgage loans, the underwriting standards do not prohibit a mortgagor from obtaining, at the time of origination of the originator`s first lien mortgage loan, additional financing which is subordinate to that first lien mortgage loan, which subordinate financing would reduce the equity the mortgagor would otherwise appear to have in the related mortgaged property as indicated in the loan-to-value ratio.

Risk regarding mortgage rates

The pass-through rates on the adjustable-rate certificates may adjust monthly and are generally based on one- month LIBOR. The mortgage rates on the mortgage loans are either fixed or adjusted semiannually based on six- month LIBOR, which is referred to as a mortgage index. Because the mortgage index may respond to various economic and market factors different than those affecting one-month LIBOR, there is not necessarily a correlation in the movement between the interest rates on those mortgage loans and the pass-through rates of the adjustable rate certificates. As a result, the interest payable on the related interest-bearing certificates may be reduced because of the imposition of a pass-through rate cap called the "net rate cap".

Yield and reinvestment could be adversely affected by unpredictability of prepayments

No one can accurately predict the level of prepayments that an asset-backed mortgage pool may experience. Factors which influence prepayment behavior include general economic conditions, the level of prevailing interest rates, the availability of alternative financing, the applicability of prepayment charges, and homeowner mobility. Reinvestment risk results from a faster or slower rate of principal payments than expected. A rising interest rate environment and the resulting slowing of prepayments could result in greater volatility of these securities. A falling interest rate environment and the resulting increase in prepayments could require reinvestment in lower yielding securities.

Credit Card Backed Securities These ABS are backed by revolving pools of credit card receivables. Due to the revolving nature of these assets, the credit quality could change over time. Unlike most other asset-backed securities, credit card receivables are unsecured obligations of the cardholder and payments by cardholders are the primary source of payment on these securities. The revolving nature of these card accounts generally provides for monthly payments to the trust. In order to issue securities with longer dated maturities, most Credit Card Backed Securities are issued with an initial "revolving" period during which collections are reinvested in new receivables. The revolving period may be shortened upon the occurrence of specified events which may signal a potential deterioration in the quality of the assets backing the security.

Automobile Loans These ABS are backed by receivables from motor vehicle installment sales contracts or installment loans secured by motor vehicles. These securities are primarily discrete pools of assets which pay down over the life of the ABS. The securities are not obligations of the seller of the vehicle, or servicer of the loans. The primary source of funds for payments on the securities comes from payment on the underlying trust receivables as well as from credit support.

Inflation-Linked Securities

Inflation-linked securities are income-generating instruments whose interest and principal payments are adjusted for inflation — a sustained increase in prices that erodes the purchasing power of money. TIPS, or Treasury inflation-protected securities, are inflation-linked securities issued by the U.S. government. Inflation- linked bonds are also issued by corporations, U.S. government agencies, states, and foreign countries. The inflation adjustment, which is typically applied monthly to the principal of the bond, follows a designated inflation index, such as the consumer price index (CPI). A fixed coupon rate is applied to the inflation-adjusted principal so that as inflation rises, both the principal value and the interest payments increase. This can provide investors with a hedge against inflation, as it helps preserve the purchasing power of your investment. Because of this inflation-adjustment feature, inflation-protected bonds typically have lower yields than conventional fixed-rate bonds. Municipal inflation bonds generally have a fixed principal amount and the inflation component is reflected in the nominal coupon.

<R>

</R>

Inflation-protected bonds normally will decline in price when real interest rates rise. (A real interest rate is calculated by subtracting the inflation rate from a nominal interest rate. For example, if a 10-year Treasury note is yielding 5% and the rate of inflation is 2%, the real interest rate is 3%.) If inflation is negative, the principal and income of an inflation-protected bond will decline and could result in losses for the fund.

Collateralized Bond or Loan Obligations

Collateralized Bond Obligations ( "CBOs" ) are bonds collateralized by corporate bonds, mortgages, or asset- backed securities and Collateralized Loan Obligations ( "CLOs" ) are bonds collateralized by bank loans. CBOs and CLOs are structured into tranches, and payments are allocated such that each tranche has a predictable cash flow stream and average life. CBOs are fairly recent entrants to the fixed-income market. Most CBOs issued to date have been collateralized by high-yield bonds or loans, with heavy credit enhancement.

Loan Participations and Assignments

Loan participations and assignments (collectively, "participations" ) will typically be participating interests in loans made by a syndicate of banks, represented by an agent bank which has negotiated and structured the loan, to corporate borrowers to finance internal growth, mergers, acquisitions, stock repurchases, leveraged buyouts, and other corporate activities. Such loans may also have been made to governmental borrowers, especially governments of developing countries which is referred to as Loans to Developing Countries debt ( "LDC debt" ). LDC debt will involve the risk that the governmental entity responsible for the repayment of the debt may be unable or unwilling to do so when due. The loans underlying such participations may be secured or unsecured, and the funds may invest in loans collateralized by mortgages on real property or which have no collateral. The loan participations themselves may extend for the entire term of the loan or may extend only for short "strips" that correspond to a quarterly or monthly floating-rate interest period on the underlying loan. Thus, a term or revolving credit that extends for several years may be subdivided into shorter periods.

The loan participations in which the funds will invest will also vary in legal structure. Occasionally, lenders assign to another institution both the lender`s rights and obligations under a credit agreement. Since this type of assignment relieves the original lender of its obligations, it is called a novation. More typically, a lender assigns only its right to receive payments of principal and interest under a promissory note, credit agreement, or similar document. A true assignment shifts to the assignee the direct debtor-creditor relationship with the underlying borrower. Alternatively, a lender may assign only part of its rights to receive payments pursuant to the underlying instrument or loan agreement. Such partial assignments, which are more accurately characterized as "participating interests," do not shift the debtor-creditor relationship to the assignee, who must rely on the original lending institution to collect sums due and to otherwise enforce its rights against the agent bank which administers the loan or against the underlying borrower.

There may not be a recognizable, liquid public market for loan participations. To the extent this is the case, the funds would consider the loan participation as illiquid and subject to the funds` restriction on investing no more than 15% of their net assets in illiquid securities.

Where required by applicable SEC positions, the funds will treat both the corporate borrower and the bank selling the participation interest as an issuer for purposes of its fundamental investment restriction on diversification.

Various service fees received by the funds from loan participations may be treated as non-interest income depending on the nature of the fee (commitment, takedown, commission, service, or loan origination). To the extent the service fees are not interest income, they will not qualify as income under Section 851(b) of the Code. Thus the sum of such fees plus any other nonqualifying income earned by the funds cannot exceed 10% of total income.

Zero-Coupon and Pay-in-Kind Bonds

A zero-coupon security has no cash coupon payments. Instead, the issuer sells the security at a substantial discount from its maturity value. The interest received by the investor from holding this security to maturity is the difference between the maturity value and the purchase price. The advantage to the investor is that reinvestment risk of the income received during the life of the bond is eliminated. However, zero-coupon bonds, like other bonds, retain interest rate and credit risk and usually display more price volatility than those securities that pay a cash coupon.

Pay-in-Kind ( "PIK" ) Instruments are securities that pay interest in either cash or additional securities, at the issuer`s option, for a specified period. PIKs, like zero-coupon bonds, are designed to give an issuer flexibility in managing cash flow. PIK bonds can be either senior or subordinated debt and trade flat (i.e., without accrued interest). The price of PIK bonds is expected to reflect the market value of the underlying debt plus an amount representing accrued interest since the last payment. PIKs are usually less volatile than zero-coupon bonds, but more volatile than cash pay securities.

For federal income tax purposes, these types of bonds will require the recognition of gross income each year even though no cash may be paid to the funds until the maturity or call date of the bond. The funds will nonetheless be required to distribute substantially all of this gross income each year to comply with the Internal Revenue Code, and such distributions could reduce the amount of cash available for investment by the funds.

Trade Claims

Trade claims are non-securitized rights of payment arising from obligations other than borrowed funds. Trade claims typically arise when, in the ordinary course of business, vendors and suppliers extend credit to a company by offering payment terms. Generally, when a company files for bankruptcy protection, payments on these trade claims cease and the claims are subject to compromise along with the other debts of the company. Trade claims typically are bought and sold at a discount reflecting the degree of uncertainty with respect to the timing and extent of recovery. In addition to the risks otherwise associated with low-quality obligations, trade claims have other risks, including the possibility that the amount of the claim may be disputed by the obligor.

Over the last few years , a market for the trade claims of bankrupt companies has developed. Many vendors are either unwilling or lack the resources to hold their claim through the extended bankruptcy process with an uncertain outcome and timing. Some vendors are also aggressive in establishing reserves against these receivables, so that the sale of the claim at a discount may not result in the recognition of a loss.

Trade claims can represent an attractive investment opportunity because these claims typically are priced at a discount to comparable public securities. This discount is a reflection of a less liquid market, a smaller universe of potential buyers, and the risks peculiar to trade claim investing. It is not unusual for trade claims to be priced at a discount to public securities that have an equal or lower priority claim.

As noted above, investing in trade claims does carry some unique risks which include:

Establishing the Amount of the Claim Frequently, the supplier`s estimate of its receivable will differ from the customer`s estimate of its payable. Resolution of these differences can result in a reduction in the amount of the claim. This risk can be reduced by only purchasing scheduled claims (claims already listed as liabilities by the debtor) and seeking representations from the seller.

Defenses to Claims The debtor has a variety of defenses that can be asserted under the bankruptcy code against any claim. Trade claims are subject to these defenses, the most common of which for trade claims relates to preference payments. (Preference payments are all payments made by the debtor during the 90 days prior to the filing. These payments are presumed to have benefited the receiving creditor at the expense of the other creditors. The receiving creditor may be required to return the payment unless it can show the payments were received in the ordinary course of business.) While none of these defenses can result in any additional liability of the purchaser of the trade claim, they can reduce or wipe out the entire purchased claim. This risk can be reduced by seeking representations and indemnification from the seller.

Documentation/Indemnification Each trade claim purchased requires documentation that must be negotiated between the buyer and seller. This documentation is extremely important since it can protect the purchaser from losses such as those described above. Legal expenses in negotiating a purchase agreement can be fairly high. Additionally, it is important to note that the value of an indemnification depends on the seller`s credit.

Volatile Pricing Due to Illiquid Market There are only a handful of brokers for trade claims and the quoted price of these claims can be volatile. Generally, it is expected that trade claims would be considered illiquid investments.

No Current Yield/Ultimate Recovery Trade claims are almost never entitled to earn interest. As a result, the return on such an investment is very sensitive to the length of the bankruptcy, which is uncertain. Although not unique to trade claims, it is worth noting that the ultimate recovery on the claim is uncertain and there is no way to calculate a conventional yield to maturity on this investment. Additionally, the exit for this investment is

<R>

</R>

a plan of reorganization which may include the distribution of new securities. These securities may be as illiquid as the original trade claim investment.

Tax Issue Although the issue is not free from doubt, it is likely that trade claims would be treated as non- securities investments. As a result, any gains would be considered "nonqualifying" under the Code. The funds may have up to 10% of their gross income (including capital gains) derived from nonqualifying sources.

Municipal Securities

Subject to the investment objectives and programs described in the prospectus and the additional investment restrictions described in this Statement of Additional Information, the funds` portfolios may consist of any combination of the various types of municipal securities described below or other types of municipal securities that may be developed. The amount of the funds` assets invested in any particular type of municipal security can be expected to vary.

The term "municipal securities" means obligations issued by or on behalf of states, territories, and possessions of the United States and the District of Columbia and their political subdivisions, agencies, and instrumentalities, as well as certain other persons and entities, the interest from which is exempt from federal income tax. In determining the tax-exempt status of a municipal security, the funds rely on the opinion of the issuer`s bond counsel at the time of the issuance of the security. However, it is possible this opinion could be overturned, and, as a result, the interest received by the funds from such a security might not be exempt from federal income tax.

Municipal securities are classified by maturity as notes, bonds, or adjustable rate securities.

Municipal Notes

Municipal notes generally are used to provide short-term operating or capital needs and generally have maturities of one year or less. Municipal notes include:

Tax Anticipation Notes Tax anticipation notes are issued to finance working capital needs of municipalities. Generally, they are issued in anticipation of various seasonal tax revenue, such as income, property, use, and business taxes, and are payable from these specific future taxes.

Revenue Anticipation Notes Revenue anticipation notes are issued in expectation of receipt of revenues, such as sales taxes, toll revenues, or water and sewer charges, that are used to pay off the notes.

Bond Anticipation Notes Bond anticipation notes are issued to provide interim financing until long-term financing can be arranged. In most cases, the long-term bonds then provide the money for the repayment of the notes.

Tax-Exempt Commercial Paper Tax-exempt commercial paper is a short-term obligation with a stated maturity of 270 days or less. It is issued by state and local governments or their agencies to finance seasonal working capital needs or as short-term financing in anticipation of longer-term financing.

Municipal Bonds Municipal bonds, which meet longer-term capital needs and generally have maturities of more than one year when issued, have two principal classifications: general obligation bonds and revenue bonds. A dditional categories of potential purchases include lease revenue bonds and prerefunded/escrowed to maturity bonds , private activity bonds, industrial development bond s, and participation interests .

General Obligation Bonds Issuers of general obligation bonds include states, counties, cities, towns, and special districts. The proceeds of these obligations are used to fund a wide range of public projects, including construction or improvement of schools, public buildings, highways and roads, and general projects not supported by user fees or specifically identified revenues. The basic security behind general obligation bonds is the issuer`s pledge of its full faith and credit and taxing power for the payment of principal and interest. The taxes that can be levied for the payment of debt service may be limited or unlimited as to the rate or amount of special assessments. In many cases voter approval is required before an issuer may sell this type of bond.

Revenue Bonds The principal security for a revenue bond is generally the net revenues derived from a particular facility or enterprise or, in some cases, the proceeds of a special charge or other pledged revenue source. Revenue bonds are issued to finance a wide variety of capital projects including: electric, gas, water, and sewer systems; highways, bridges, and tunnels; port and airport facilities; colleges and universities; and hospitals.

Revenue bonds are sometimes used to finance various privately operated facilities provided they meet certain tests established for tax-exempt status.

Although the principal security behind these bonds may vary, many provide additional security in the form of a mortgage or debt service reserve fund. Some authorities provide further security in the form of the state`s ability (without obligation) to make up deficiencies in the debt service reserve fund. Revenue bonds usually do not require prior voter approval before they may be issued.

Lease Revenue Bonds Municipal borrowers may also finance capital improvements or purchases with tax- exempt leases. The security for a lease is generally the borrower`s pledge to make annual appropriations for lease payments. The lease payment is treated as an operating expense subject to appropriation risk and not a full faith and credit obligation of the issuer. Lease revenue bonds are generally considered less secure than a general obligation or revenue bond and often do not include a debt service reserve fund. To the extent the funds` Boards determine such securities are illiquid, they will be subject to the funds` limit on illiquid securities. There have also been certain legal challenges to the use of lease revenue bonds in various states.

The liquidity of such securities will be determined based on a variety of factors which may include, among others: (1) the frequency of trades and quotes for the obligation; (2) the number of dealers willing to purchase or sell the security and the number of other potential buyers; (3) the willingness of dealers to undertake to make a market in the security; (4) the nature of the marketplace trades, including the time needed to dispose of the security, the method of soliciting offers, and the mechanics of transfer; and (5) the rating assigned to the obligation by an established rating agency or T. Rowe Price.

Prerefunded/Escrowed to Maturity Bonds Certain municipal bonds have been refunded with a later bond issue from the same issuer. The proceeds from the later issue are used to defease the original issue. In many cases the original issue cannot be redeemed or repaid until the first call date or original maturity date. In these cases, the refunding bond proceeds typically are used to buy U.S. Treasury securities that are held in an escrow account until the original call date or maturity date. The original bonds then become "prerefunded" or "escrowed to maturity" and are considered high-quality investments. While still tax-exempt, the security is the proceeds of the escrow account. To the extent permitted by the SEC and the Internal Revenue Service, a fund`s investment in such securities refunded with U.S. Treasury securities will, for purposes of diversification rules applicable to the funds, be considered an investment in U.S. Treasury securities.

Private Activity Bonds Under current tax law, all municipal debt is divided broadly into two groups: governmental purpose bonds and private activity bonds. Governmental purpose bonds are issued to finance traditional public purpose projects such as public buildings and roads. Private activity bonds may be issued by a state or local government or public authority but principally benefit private users and are considered taxable unless a specific exemption is provided.

The tax code currently provides exemptions for certain private activity bonds such as not-for-profit hospital bonds, small-issue industrial development revenue bonds, and mortgage subsidy bonds, which may still be issued as tax-exempt bonds. Some, but not all, private activity bonds are subject to alternative minimum tax.

Industrial Development Bonds Industrial development bonds are considered municipal bonds if the interest paid is exempt from federal income tax. They are issued by or on behalf of public authorities to raise money to finance various privately operated facilities for business and manufacturing, housing, sports, and pollution control. These bonds are also used to finance public facilities such as airports, mass transit systems, ports, and parking. The payment of the principal and interest on such bonds is dependent solely on the ability of the facility`s user to meet its financial obligations and the pledge, if any, of real and personal property so financed as security for such payment.

Participation Interests The funds may purchase from third parties participation interests in all or part of specific holdings of municipal securities. The purchase may take different forms: in the case of short-term securities, the participation may be backed by a liquidity facility that allows the interest to be sold back to the third party (such as a trust, broker, or bank) for a predetermined price of par at stated intervals. The seller may receive a fee from the funds in connection with the arrangement.

In the case of longer-term bonds, the funds may purchase interests in a pool of municipal bonds or a single municipal bond or lease without the right to sell the interest back to the third party.

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

The funds will not purchase participation interests unless a satisfactory opinion of counsel or ruling of the Internal Revenue Service has been issued that the interest earned from the municipal securities on which the funds hold participation interests is exempt from federal income tax to the funds. However, there is no guarantee the IRS would treat such interest income as tax-exempt.

When-Issued Securities

New issues of municipal securities are often offered on a when-issued basis; that is, delivery and payment for the securities normally takes place 15 to 45 days or more after the date of the commitment to purchase. The payment obligation and the interest rate that will be received on the securities are each fixed at the time the buyer enters into the commitment. The funds will only make a commitment to purchase such securities with the intention of actually acquiring the securities. However, the funds may sell these securities before the settlement date if it is deemed advisable as a matter of investment strategy. The funds will maintain cash, high- grade marketable debt securities, or other suitable cover with its custodian bank equal in value to commitments for when-issued securities. Such securities either will mature or, if necessary, be sold on or before the settlement date. Securities purchased on a when-issued basis and the securities held in the funds` portfolios are subject to changes in market value based upon the public perception of the creditworthiness of the issuer and changes in the level of interest rates (which will generally result in similar changes in value, i.e., both experiencing appreciation when interest rates decline and depreciation when interest rates rise). Therefore, to the extent the funds remain fully invested or almost fully invested at the same time that they have purchased securities on a when-issued basis, there will be greater fluctuations in their net asset value than if they solely set aside cash to pay for when-issued securities. In the case of the money funds, this could increase the possibility that the market value of the funds` assets could vary from $1.00 per share. In addition, there will be a greater potential for the realization of capital gains, which are not exempt from federal income tax. When the time comes to pay for when-issued securities, the funds will meet their obligations from then-available cash flow, sale of securities, or, although it would not normally expect to do so, from sale of the when-issued securities themselves (which may have a value greater or less than the payment obligation). The policies described in this paragraph are not fundamental and may be changed by the funds upon notice to shareholders.

Forwards

In some cases, the funds may purchase bonds on a when-issued basis with longer-than-standard settlement dates, in some cases exceeding one to two years. In such cases, the funds must execute a receipt evidencing the obligation to purchase the bond on the specified issue date, and must segregate cash internally to meet that forward commitment. Municipal "forwards" typically carry a substantial yield premium to compensate the buyer for the risks associated with a long when-issued period, including: shifts in market interest rates that could materially impact the principal value of the bond, deterioration in the credit quality of the issuer, loss of alternative investment options during the when-issued period, changes in tax law or issuer actions that would affect the exempt interest status of the bonds and prevent delivery, failure of the issuer to complete various steps required to issue the bonds, and limited liquidity for the buyer to sell the escrow receipts during the when- issued period.

Residual Interest Bonds

Residual interest bonds are a type of high-risk derivative. The funds may purchase municipal bond issues that are structured as two-part, residual interest bond and variable rate security offerings. The issuer is obligated only to pay a fixed amount of tax-free income that is to be divided among the holders of the two securities. The interest rate for the holders of the variable rate securities will be determined by an index or auction process held approximately every seven to 35 days while the bondholders will receive all interest paid by the issuer minus the amount given to the variable rate security holders and a nominal auction fee. Therefore, the coupon of the residual interest bonds, and thus the income received, will move inversely with respect to short-term, 7- to 35- day tax-exempt interest rates. There is no assurance that the auction will be successful and that the variable rate security will provide short-term liquidity. The issuer is not obligated to provide such liquidity. In general, these securities offer a significant yield advantage over standard municipal securities, due to the uncertainty of the shape of the yield curve (i.e., short-term versus long-term rates) and consequent income flows.

Unlike many adjustable rate securities, residual interest bonds are not necessarily expected to trade at par and in fact present significant market risks. In certain market environments, residual interest bonds may carry substantial premiums , be at deep discounts , or have limited liquidity .

The funds may invest in other types of derivative instruments as they become available.

For the purpose of the funds` investment restrictions, the identification of the "issuer" of municipal securities which are not general obligation bonds is made by T. Rowe Price, on the basis of the characteristics of the obligation as described above, the most significant of which is the source of funds for the payment of principal and interest on such securities.

There are, of course, other types of securities that are or may become available that are similar to the foregoing, and the funds may invest in these securities.

Real Estate and Real Estate Investment Trusts ( " REITs " )

Investments in REITs may experience many of the same risks involved with investing in real estate directly. These risks include: declines in real estate values, risks related to local or general economic conditions, particularly lack of demand, overbuilding and increased competition, increases in property taxes and operating expenses, changes in zoning laws, heavy cash flow dependency, possible lack of availability of mortgage funds, obsolescence, losses due to natural disasters, condemnation of properties, regulatory limitations on rents and fluctuations in rental income, variations in market rental rates, and possible environmental liabilities. REITs may own real estate properties (Equity REITs) and be subject to these risks directly, or may make or purchase mortgages (Mortgage REITs) and be subject to these risks indirectly through underlying construction, development, and long-term mortgage loans that may default or have payment problems.

Equity REITs can be affected by rising interest rates that may cause investors to demand a high annual yield from future distributions which, in turn, could decrease the market prices for the REITs. In addition, rising interest rates also increase the costs of obtaining financing for real estate projects. Since many real estate projects are dependent upon receiving financing, this could cause the value of the Equity REITs in which the funds invest to decline.

Mortgage REITs may hold mortgages that the mortgagors elect to prepay during periods of declining interest rates, which may diminish the yield on such REITs. In addition, borrowers may not be able to repay mortgages when due, which could have a negative effect on the funds.

Some REITs have relatively small market capitalizations which could increase their volatility. REITs tend to be dependent upon specialized management skills and have limited diversification so they are subject to risks inherent in operating and financing a limited number of properties. In addition, when the funds invest in REITs, a shareholder will bear his proportionate share of fund expenses and indirectly bear similar expenses of the REITs. REITs depend generally on their ability to generate cash flow to make distributions to shareholders. In addition, both Equity and Mortgage REITs are subject to the risks of failing to qualify for tax-free status of income under the Code or failing to maintain exemption from the 1940 Act.

Adjustable Rate Securities

Generally, the maturity of a security is deemed to be the period remaining until the date (noted on the face of the instrument) on which the principal amount must be paid or, in the case of an instrument called for redemption, the date on which the redemption payment must be made. However, certain securities may be issued with demand features or adjustable interest rates that are reset periodically by predetermined formulas or indexes in order to minimize movements in the principal value of the investment in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Such securities may have long-term maturities, but may be treated as a short-term investment under certain conditions. Generally, as interest rates decrease or increase, the potential for capital appreciation or depreciation on these securities is less than for fixed rate obligations. These securities may take a variety of forms, including variable rate, floating rate, and put option securities.

Variable Rate Securities Variable rate instruments are those whose terms provide for the adjustment of their interest rates on set dates and which, upon such adjustment, can reasonably be expected to have a market value that approximates its par value. A variable rate instrument, the principal amount of which is scheduled to be paid in 397 days or less, is deemed to have a maturity equal to the period remaining until the next readjustment of the interest rate. A variable rate instrument which is subject to a demand feature entitles the purchaser to receive the principal amount of the underlying security or securities, either (i) upon notice of no more than 30 days or (ii) at specified intervals not exceeding 397 days and upon no more than 30 days` notice, is deemed to

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

have a maturity equal to the longer of the period remaining until the next readjustment of the interest rate or the period remaining until the principal amount can be recovered through demand.

Forward Commitment Contracts

The price of such securities, which may be expressed in yield terms, is fixed at the time the commitment to purchase is made, but delivery and payment take place at a later date. Normally, the settlement date occurs within 90 days of the purchase for when-issueds, but may be substantially longer for forwards. During the period between purchase and settlement, no payment is made by the funds to the issuer and no interest accrues to the funds. The purchase of these securities will result in a loss if their values decline prior to the settlement date. This could occur, for example, if interest rates increase prior to settlement. The longer the period between purchase and settlement, the greater the risks. At the time the funds make the commitment to purchase these securities, it will record the transaction and reflect the value of the security in determining its net asset value. The funds will cover these securities by maintaining cash, liquid, high-grade debt securities, or other suitable cover as permitted by the SEC with its custodian bank equal in value to its commitments for the securities during the time between the purchase and the settlement. Therefore, the longer this period, the longer the period during which alternative investment options are not available to the funds (to the extent of the securities used for cover). Such securities either will mature or, if necessary, be sold on or before the settlement date.

To the extent the funds remain fully or almost fully invested (in securities with a remaining maturity of more than one year) at the same time they purchase these securities, there will be greater fluctuations in the funds` net asset value than if the funds did not purchase them.

Illiquid or Restricted Securities

Restricted securities may be sold only in privately negotiated transactions or in a public offering with respect to which a registration statement is in effect under the 1933 Act. Where registration is required, the fund may be obligated to pay all or part of the registration expenses, and a considerable period may elapse between the time of the decision to sell and the time the fund may be permitted to sell a security under an effective registration statement. If, during such a period, adverse market conditions were to develop, the fund might obtain a less favorable price than prevailed when it decided to sell. Restricted securities will be priced at fair value as determined in accordance with procedures prescribed by the funds` Boards. If, through the appreciation of illiquid securities or the depreciation of liquid securities, the funds should be in a position where more than the allowable amount of its net assets is invested in illiquid assets, including restricted securities, the funds will take appropriate steps to protect liquidity.

Notwithstanding the above, the funds may purchase securities which, while privately placed, are eligible for purchase and sale under Rule 144A under the 1933 Act. This rule permits certain qualified institutional buyers, such as the funds, to trade in privately placed securities even though such securities are not registered under the 1933 Act. The liquidity of these securities is monitored based on a variety of factors.

Money Funds

Determination of Maturity of Money Market Securities

The funds may only purchase securities which at the time of investment have remaining maturities of 397 calendar days or less. The other funds may also purchase money market securities. In determining the maturity of money market securities, funds will follow the provisions of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act.

Prime Reserve, Summit Cash Reserves, and TRP Reserve Investment Funds

First Tier Money Market Securities Defined

At least 95% of the funds` total assets will be maintained in first tier money market securities. First tier money market securities are those which are described as First Tier Securities under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. These include any security with a remaining maturity of 397 days or less that is rated (or that has been issued by an issuer that is rated with respect to a class of short-term debt obligations, or any security within that class that is comparable in priority and security with the security) by any two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (or if only one NRSRO has issued a rating, that NRSRO) in the highest rating category for short- term debt obligations (within which there may be sub-categories). First Tier Securities also include unrated securities comparable in quality to rated securities, as determined by T. Rowe Price pursuant to written

guidelines established in accordance with Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act under the supervision of the funds` Boards.

DERIVATIVE INVESTMENTS

Futures Contracts

Futures contracts are a type of potentially high-risk derivative.

Transactions in Futures

The funds may enter into futures contracts including stock index, interest rate, and currency futures ( "futures" or "futures contracts" ).

Interest rate or currency futures contracts may be used as a hedge against changes in prevailing levels of interest rates or currency exchange rates in order to establish more definitely the effective return on securities or currencies held or intended to be acquired by the funds. Interest rate or currency futures can be sold as an offset against the effect of expected increases in interest rates or currency exchange rates and purchased as an offset against the effect of expected declines in interest rates or currency exchange rates.

Futures can also be used as an efficient means of regulating the funds` exposure to the market.

Index Funds may only enter into futures contracts that are appropriate for their investment programs to provide an efficient means of maintaining liquidity while being invested in the market, to facilitate trading, or to reduce transaction costs. They will not use futures for hedging purposes. Otherwise the nature of such futures and the regulatory limitations and risks to which they are subject are the same as those described below.

Stock index futures contracts may be used to provide a hedge for a portion of the funds` portfolios, as a cash management tool, or as an efficient way to implement either an increase or decrease in portfolio market exposure in response to changing market conditions. The funds may purchase or sell futures contracts with respect to any stock index. Nevertheless, to hedge the funds` portfolios successfully, the funds must sell futures contracts with respect to indices or subindices whose movements will have a significant correlation with movements in the prices of the funds` portfolio securities.

The funds will enter into futures contracts that are traded on national (or foreign) futures exchanges and are standardized as to maturity date and underlying financial instrument. A public market exists in futures contracts covering various taxable fixed-income securities as well as municipal bonds. Futures exchanges and trading in the United States are regulated under the Commodity Exchange Act by the Commodities Futures Trading Commission (" CFTC ") . Although techniques other than the sale and purchase of futures contracts could be used for the above-referenced purposes, futures contracts offer an effective and relatively low cost means of implementing the funds` objectives in these areas.

Regulatory Limitations

If the funds purchase or sell futures contracts or related options which do not qualify as bona fide hedging under applicable CFTC rules, the aggregate initial margin deposits and premium required to establish those positions cannot exceed 5% of the liquidation value of the funds after taking into account unrealized profits and unrealized losses on any such contracts they have entered into, provided, however, that in the case of an option that is in-the-money at the time of purchase, the in-the-money amount may be excluded in calculating the 5% limitation. For purposes of this policy, options on futures contracts and foreign currency options traded on a commodities exchange will be considered "related options." This policy may be modified by the Boards without a shareholder vote and does not limit the percentage of the funds` assets at risk to 5%.

In instances involving the purchase of futures contracts or the writing of call or put options thereon by the funds, an amount of cash, liquid assets, or other suitable cover as permitted by the SEC, equal to the market value of the futures contracts and options thereon (less any related margin deposits), will be identified by the funds to cover the position, or alternative cover (such as owning an offsetting position) will be employed. Assets used as cover or held in an identified account cannot be sold while the position in the corresponding option or future is open, unless they are replaced with similar assets. As a result, the commitment of a large portion of the

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

funds` assets to cover or identified accounts could impede portfolio management or the funds` ability to meet redemption requests or other current obligations.

If the CFTC or other regulatory authorities adopt different (including less stringent) or additional restrictions, the funds would comply with such new restrictions.

Trading in Futures Contracts

A futures contract provides for the future sale by one party and purchase by another party of a specified amount of a specific financial instrument (e.g., units of a stock index) for a specified price, date, time, and place designated at the time the contract is made. Brokerage fees are incurred when a futures contract is bought or sold and margin deposits must be maintained. Entering into a contract to buy is commonly referred to as buying or purchasing a contract or holding a long position. Entering into a contract to sell is commonly referred to as selling a contract or holding a short position.

Unlike when the funds purchase or sell a security, no price would be paid or received by the funds upon the purchase or sale of a futures contract. Upon entering into a futures contract, and to maintain the funds` open positions in futures contracts, the funds would be required to deposit with their custodian in a segregated account in the name of the futures broker an amount of cash or liquid assets known as "initial margin." The margin required for a particular futures contract is set by the exchange on which the contract is traded and may be significantly modified from time to time by the exchange during the term of the contract. Futures contracts are customarily purchased and sold on margins that may range upward from less than 5% of the value of the contract being traded.

Financial futures are valued daily at closing settlement prices. If the price of an open futures contract changes (by increase in the case of a sale or by decrease in the case of a purchase) so that the loss on the futures contract reaches a point at which the margin on deposit does not satisfy margin requirements, the broker will require a payment by the funds ( "variation margin" ) to restore the margin account to the amount of the initial margin.

Subsequent payments ( "mark-to-market payments" ) to and from the futures broker are made on a daily basis as the price of the underlying assets fluctuates, making the long and short positions in the futures contract more or less valuable. If the value of the open futures position increases in the case of a sale or decreases in the case of a purchase, the funds will pay the amount of the daily change in value to the broker. However, if the value of the open futures position decreases in the case of a sale or increases in the case of a purchase, the broker will pay the amount of the daily change in value to the funds.

Although certain futures contracts, by their terms, require actual future delivery of and payment for the underlying instruments, in practice , most futures contracts are usually closed out before the delivery date. Closing out an open futures contract purchase or sale is effected by entering into an offsetting futures contract sale or purchase, respectively, for the same aggregate amount of the identical securities and the same delivery date. If the offsetting purchase price is less than the original sale price, the funds realize a gain; if it is more, the funds realize a loss. Conversely, if the offsetting sale price is more than the original purchase price, the funds realize a gain; if it is less, the funds realize a loss. The transaction costs must also be included in these calculations. There can be no assurance, however, that the funds will be able to enter into an offsetting transaction with respect to a particular futures contract at a particular time. If the funds are not able to enter into an offsetting transaction, the funds will continue to be required to maintain the margin deposits on the futures contract.

As an example of an offsetting transaction in which the underlying instrument is not delivered, the contractual obligations arising from the sale of one contract of September Treasury bills on an exchange may be fulfilled at any time before delivery of the contract is required (i.e., on a specified date in September, the "delivery month" ) by the purchase of one contract of September Treasury bills on the same exchange. In such instance, the difference between the price at which the futures contract was sold and the price paid for the offsetting purchase, after allowance for transaction costs, represents the profit or loss to the funds.

Settlement of a stock index futures contract may or may not be in the underlying security. If not in the underlying security, then settlement will be made in cash, equivalent over time to the difference between the contract price and the actual price of the underlying asset (as adjusted by a multiplier) at the time the stock index futures contract expires.

For example, the S&P 500 Stock Index is made up of 500 selected common stocks, most of which are listed on the New York Stock Exchange. The S&P 500 Index assigns relative weightings to the common stocks included in the index, and the index fluctuates with changes in the market values of those common stocks. In the case of futures contracts on the S&P 500 Index, the contracts are to buy or sell 250 units. Thus, if the value of the S&P 500 Index were $150, one contract would be worth $37,500 (250 units x $150). The stock index futures contract specifies that no delivery of the actual stocks making up the index will take place. Instead, settlement in cash occurs. Over the life of the contract, the gain or loss realized by the funds will equal the difference between the purchase (or sale) price of the contract and the price at which the contract is terminated. For example, if the funds enter into a futures contract to buy 250 units of the S&P 500 Index at a specified future date at a contract price of $150 and the S&P 500 Index is at $154 on that future date, the funds will gain $1,000 (250 units x gain of $4). If the funds enter into a futures contract to sell 250 units of the stock index at a specified future date at a contract price of $150 and the S&P 500 Index is at $152 on that future date, the funds will lose $500 (250 units x loss of $2).

It is possible that hedging activities of funds investing in municipal securities will occur through the use of U.S. Treasury bond futures.

Special Risks of Transactions in Futures Contracts

Volatility and Leverage The prices of futures contracts are volatile and are influenced, among other things, by actual and anticipated changes in the market and interest rates, which in turn are affected by fiscal and monetary policies and national and international political and economic events.

Most U.S. futures exchanges limit the amount of fluctuation permitted in futures contract prices during a single trading day. The daily limit establishes the maximum amount that the price of a futures contract may vary either up or down from the previous day`s settlement price at the end of a trading session. Once the daily limit has been reached in a particular type of futures contract, no trades may be made on that day at a price beyond that limit. The daily limit governs only price movement during a particular trading day and therefore does not limit potential losses because the limit may prevent the liquidation of unfavorable positions. Futures contract prices have occasionally moved to the daily limit for several consecutive trading days with little or no trading, thereby preventing prompt liquidation of futures positions and subjecting some futures traders to substantial losses.

Margin deposits required on futures trading are low. As a result, a relatively small price movement in a futures contract may result in immediate and substantial loss, as well as gain, to the investor. For example, if at the time of purchase, 10% of the value of the futures contract is deposited as margin, a subsequent 10% decrease in the value of the futures contract would result in a total loss of the margin deposit, before any deduction for the transaction costs, if the account were then closed out. A 15% decrease would result in a loss equal to 150% of the original margin deposit, if the contract were closed out. Thus, a purchase or sale of a futures contract may result in losses in excess of the amount invested in the futures contract.

Liquidity The funds may elect to close some or all of their futures positions at any time prior to their expiration. The funds would do so to reduce exposure represented by long futures positions or short futures positions. The funds may close their position by taking opposite positions, which would operate to terminate the funds` position in the futures contracts. Final determinations of mark-to-market payments would then be made, additional cash would be required to be paid by or released to the funds, and the funds would realize a loss or a gain.

Futures contracts may be closed out only on the exchange or board of trade where the contracts were initially traded. Although the funds intend to purchase or sell futures contracts only on exchanges or boards of trade where there appears to be an active market, there is no assurance that a liquid market on an exchange or board of trade will exist for any particular contract at any particular time. In such event, it might not be possible to close a futures contract, and in the event of adverse price movements, the funds would continue to be required to make daily mark-to-market and variation margin payments. However, in the event futures contracts have been used to hedge the underlying instruments, the funds would continue to hold the underlying instruments subject to the hedge until the futures contracts could be terminated. In such circumstances, an increase in the price of underlying instruments, if any, might partially or completely offset losses on the futures contract. However, as described next, there is no guarantee that the price of the underlying instruments will, in fact,

<R>

</R>

correlate with the price movements in the futures contract and thus provide an offset to losses on a futures contract.

Hedging Risk A decision whether, when, and how to hedge involves skill and judgment, and even a well- conceived hedge may be unsuccessful to some degree because of unexpected market or economic events. There are several risks in connection with the use by the funds of futures contracts as a hedging device. One risk arises because of the imperfect correlation between movements in the prices of the futures contracts and movements in the prices of the underlying instruments which are the subject of the hedge. T. Rowe Price will, however, attempt to reduce this risk by entering into futures contracts whose movements, in its judgment, will have a significant correlation with movements in the prices of the funds` underlying instruments sought to be hedged.

Successful use of futures contracts by the funds for hedging purposes is also subject to T. Rowe Price`s ability to correctly predict movements in the direction of the market. It is possible that, when the funds have sold futures to hedge their portfolios against a decline in the market, the index, indices, or instruments` underlying futures might advance, and the value of the underlying instruments held in the funds` portfolios might decline. If this were to occur, the funds would lose money on the futures and also would experience a decline in value in their underlying instruments. However, while this might occur to a certain degree, T. Rowe Price believes that over time the value of the funds` portfolios will tend to move in the same direction as the market indices used to hedge the portfolio. It is also possible that, if the funds were to hedge against the possibility of a decline in the market (adversely affecting the underlying instruments held in their portfolios) and prices instead increased, the funds would lose part or all of the benefit of increased value of those underlying instruments that it had hedged because it would have offsetting losses in their futures positions. In addition, in such situations, if the funds have insufficient cash, it might have to sell underlying instruments to meet daily mark-to-market and variation margin requirements. Such sales of underlying instruments might be, but would not necessarily be, at increased prices (which would reflect the rising market). The funds might have to sell underlying instruments at a time when it would be disadvantageous to do so.

In addition to the possibility that there might be an imperfect correlation, or no correlation at all, between price movements in the futures contracts and the portion of the portfolio being hedged, the price movements of futures contracts might not correlate perfectly with price movements in the underlying instruments due to certain market distortions. First, all participants in the futures market are subject to margin deposit and maintenance requirements. Rather than meeting additional margin deposit requirements, investors might close futures contracts through offsetting transactions, which could distort the normal relationship between the underlying instruments and futures markets. Second, the margin requirements in the futures market are less onerous than margin requirements in the securities markets and, as a result, the futures market might attract more speculators than the securities markets. Increased participation by speculators in the futures market might also cause temporary price distortions. Due to the possibility of price distortion in the futures market and also because of imperfect correlation between price movements in the underlying instruments and movements in the prices of futures contracts, even a correct forecast of general market trends by T. Rowe Price might not result in a successful hedging transaction over a very short time period.

Options on Futures Contracts

Options (another type of potentially high-risk derivative) on futures are similar to options on underlying instruments, except that options on futures give the purchaser the right, in return for the premium paid, to assume a position in a futures contract (a long position if the option is a call and a short position if the option is a put), rather than to purchase or sell the futures contract at a specified exercise price at any time during the period of the option. Upon exercise of the option, the delivery of the futures position by the writer of the option to the holder of the option will be accompanied by the delivery of the accumulated balance in the writer`s futures margin account, which represents the amount by which the market price of the futures contract, at exercise, exceeds (in the case of a call) or is less than (in the case of a put) the exercise price of the option on the futures contract. Purchasers of options who fail to exercise their options prior to the exercise date suffer a loss of the premium paid. Options on futures contracts are valued daily at the last sale price on its primary exchange at the time at which the net asset value per share of the funds are computed (close of New York Stock Exchange), or, in the absence of such sale, the mean of closing bid and ask prices.

Writing a put option on a futures contract serves as a partial hedge against an increase in the value of securities the funds intend to acquire. If the futures price at expiration of the option is above the exercise price, the funds

will retain the full amount of the option premium, which provides a partial hedge against any increase that may have occurred in the price of the debt securities the funds intend to acquire. If the futures price when the option is exercised is below the exercise price, however, the funds will incur a loss, which may be wholly or partially offset by the decrease in the price of the securities the funds intend to acquire.

Funds investing in municipal securities may trade in municipal bond index option futures or similar options on futures developed in the future. In addition, the funds may trade in options on futures contracts on U.S. government securities and any U.S. government securities futures index contract which might be developed.

From time to time, a single order to purchase or sell futures contracts (or options thereon) may be made on behalf of a fund and other T. Rowe Price funds. Such aggregated orders would be allocated among the fund and the other T. Rowe Price funds in a fair and nondiscriminatory manner.

Call and put options may be purchased or written on financial indices as an alternative to options on futures.

Special Risks of Transactions in Options on Futures Contracts

The risks described under "Special Risks of Transactions in Futures Contracts" are substantially the same as the risks of using options on futures. If the funds were to write an option on a futures contract, it would be required to deposit initial margin and maintain mark-to-market payments in the same manner as a regular futures contract. In addition, where the funds seek to close out an option position by writing or buying an offsetting option covering the same index, underlying instrument, or contract and having the same exercise price and expiration date, their ability to establish and close out positions on such options will be subject to the maintenance of a liquid secondary market. Reasons for the absence of a liquid secondary market on an exchange include the following: (1) there may be insufficient trading interest in certain options; (2) restrictions may be imposed by an exchange on opening transactions or closing transactions or both; (3) trading halts, suspensions, or other restrictions may be imposed with respect to particular classes or series of options, or underlying instruments; (4) unusual or unforeseen circumstances may interrupt normal operations on an exchange; (5) the facilities of an exchange or a clearing corporation may not at all times be adequate to handle current trading volume; or (6) one or more exchanges could, for economic or other reasons, decide or be compelled at some future date to discontinue the trading of options (or a particular class or series of options), in which event the secondary market on that exchange (or in the class or series of options) would cease to exist, although outstanding options on the exchange that had been issued by a clearing corporation as a result of trades on that exchange would continue to be exercisable in accordance with their terms. There is no assurance that higher- than-anticipated trading activity or other unforeseen events might not, at times, render certain of the facilities of any of the clearing corporations inadequate, and thereby result in the institution by an exchange of special procedures, which may interfere with the timely execution of customers` orders.

In the event no such market exists for a particular contract in which the funds maintain a position, in the case of a written option, the funds would have to wait to sell the underlying securities or futures positions until the option expires or is exercised. The funds would be required to maintain margin deposits on payments until the contract is closed. Options on futures are treated for accounting purposes in the same way as the analogous option on securities are treated.

In addition, the correlation between movements in the price of options on futures contracts and movements in the price of the securities hedged can only be approximate. This risk is significantly increased when an option on a U.S. government securities future or an option on some type of index future is used as a proxy for hedging a portfolio consisting of other types of securities. Another risk is that if the movements in the price of options on futures contracts and the value of the call increase by more than the increase in the value of the securities held as cover, the funds may realize a loss on the call, which is not completely offset by the appreciation in the price of the securities held as cover and the premium received for writing the call.

The successful use of options on futures contracts requires special expertise and techniques different from those involved in portfolio securities transactions. A decision whether, when, and how to hedge involves skill and judgment, and even a well-conceived hedge may be unsuccessful to some degree because of unexpected market behavior or interest rate trends. During periods when municipal securities market prices are appreciating, the funds may experience poorer overall performance than if it had not entered into any options on futures contracts.

General Considerations Transactions by the funds in options on futures will be subject to limitations established by each of the exchanges, boards of trade, or other trading facilities governing the maximum number of options in each class which may be written or purchased by a single investor or group of investors acting in concert, regardless of whether the options are written on the same or different exchanges, boards of trade, or other trading facilities or are held or written in one or more accounts or through one or more brokers. Thus, the number of contracts which the funds may write or purchase may be affected by contracts written or purchased by other investment advisory clients of T. Rowe Price. An exchange, boards of trade, or other trading facility may order the liquidations of positions found to be in excess of these limits, and it may impose certain other sanctions.

Additional Futures and Options Contracts

Although the funds have no current intention of engaging in futures or options transactions other than those described above, it reserves the right to do so. Such futures and options trading might involve risks which differ from those involved in the futures and options described above.

Foreign Futures and Options

Participation in foreign futures and foreign options transactions involves the execution and clearing of trades on, or subject to the rules of, a foreign board of trade. Neither the National Futures Association nor any domestic exchange regulates activities of any foreign boards of trade, including the execution, delivery, and clearing of transactions, or has the power to compel enforcement of the rules of a foreign board of trade or any applicable foreign law. This is true even if the exchange is formally linked to a domestic market so that a position taken on the market may be liquidated by a transaction on another market. Moreover, such laws or regulations will vary depending on the foreign country in which the foreign futures or foreign options transaction occurs. For these reasons, when the funds trade foreign futures or foreign options contracts, it may not be afforded certain of the protective measures provided by the Commodity Exchange Act, the CFTC`s regulations, and the rules of the National Futures Association and any domestic exchange, including the right to use reparations proceedings before the CFTC and arbitration proceedings provided by the National Futures Association or any domestic futures exchange. In particular, funds received from the funds for foreign futures or foreign options transactions may not be provided the same protections as funds received for transactions on U.S. futures exchanges. In addition, the price of any foreign futures or foreign options contract and, therefore, the potential profit and loss thereon may be affected by any variance in the foreign exchange rate between the time the funds` orders are placed and the time they are liquidated, offset, or exercised.

U.S. Treasury Intermediate and U.S. Treasury Long-Term Funds

Limitations on Futures and Options

The funds will not purchase a futures contract or option thereon if, with respect to positions in futures or options on futures which do not represent bona fide hedging, the aggregate initial margin and premiums on such positions would exceed 5% of the funds` net asset value. In addition, neither of the funds will enter into a futures transaction if it would be obligated to purchase or deliver amounts that would exceed 15% of the funds` total assets.

The funds will not write a covered call option if, as a result, the aggregate market value of all portfolio securities covering call options or subject to delivery under put options exceeds 15% of the market value of the funds` total assets.

The funds will not write a covered put option if, as a result, the aggregate market value of all portfolio securities subject to such put options or covering call options exceeds 15% of the market value of the funds` total assets.

The funds have no current intention of investing in options on securities. However, they reserve the right to do so in the future and could be subject to the following limitations: the funds may invest up to 15% of total assets in premiums on put options and 15% of total assets in premiums on call options. The total amount of the funds` total assets invested in futures and options will not exceed 15% of the funds` total assets.

All Funds

Foreign Currency Transactions

A forward foreign currency exchange contract involves an obligation to purchase or sell a specific currency at a future date, which may be any fixed number of days from the date of the contract agreed upon by the parties, at a price set at the time of the contract. These contracts are principally traded in the interbank market conducted directly between currency traders (usually large, commercial banks) and their customers. A forward contract generally has no deposit requirement, and no commissions are charged at any stage for trades. The funds may enter into forward contracts for a variety of purposes in connection with the management of the foreign securities portion of their portfolios. The funds` use of such contracts would include, but not be limited to, the following:

First, when the funds enter into a contract for the purchase or sale of a security denominated in a foreign currency, they may desire to "lock in" the U.S. dollar price of the security. By entering into a forward contract for the purchase or sale, for a fixed amount of dollars, of the amount of foreign currency involved in the underlying security transactions, the funds will be able to protect themselves against a possible loss resulting from an adverse change in the relationship between the U.S. dollar and the subject foreign currency during the period between the date the security is purchased or sold and the date on which payment is made or received.

Second, when T. Rowe Price believes that one currency may experience a substantial movement against another currency, including the U.S. dollar, it may enter into a forward contract to sell or buy the amount of the former foreign currency, approximating the value of some or all of the funds` portfolio securities denominated in such foreign currency. Alternatively, where appropriate, the funds may hedge all or part of their foreign currency exposure through the use of a basket of currencies or a proxy currency where such currency or currencies act as an effective proxy for other currencies. In such a case, the funds may enter into a forward contract where the amount of the foreign currency to be sold exceeds the value of the securities denominated in such currency. The use of this basket hedging technique may be more efficient and economical than entering into separate forward contracts for each currency held in the funds. The precise matching of the forward contract amounts and the value of the securities involved will not generally be possible since the future value of such securities in foreign currencies will change as a consequence of market movements in the value of those securities between the date the forward contract is entered into and the date it matures. The projection of short-term currency market movement is extremely difficult, and the successful execution of a short-term hedging strategy is highly uncertain. Under normal circumstances, consideration of the prospect for relative currency values will be incorporated into the longer-term investment decisions made with regard to overall diversification strategies. However, T. Rowe Price believes that it is important to have the flexibility to enter into such forward contracts when it determines that the best interests of the funds will be served.

Third, the funds may use forward contracts when the funds wish to hedge out of the dollar into a foreign currency in order to create a synthetic bond or money market instrument — the security would be issued in U.S. dollars but the dollar component would be transformed into a foreign currency through a forward contract.

The funds may enter into forward contracts for any other purpose consistent with the funds` investment objectives and programs. However, the funds will not enter into a forward contract, or maintain exposure to any such contract(s), if the amount of foreign currency required to be delivered thereunder would exceed the funds` holdings of liquid, high-grade debt securities, currency available for cover of the forward contract(s), or other suitable cover as permitted by the SEC. In determining the amount to be delivered under a contract, the funds may net offsetting positions.

At the maturity of a forward contract, the funds may sell the portfolio security and make delivery of the foreign currency, or they may retain the security and either extend the maturity of the forward contract (by "rolling" that contract forward) or may initiate a new forward contract.

If the funds retain the portfolio security and engage in an offsetting transaction, the funds will incur a gain or a loss (as described below) to the extent that there has been movement in forward contract prices. If the funds engage in an offsetting transaction, they may subsequently enter into a new forward contract to sell the foreign currency. Should forward prices decline during the period between the funds` entering into a forward contract for the sale of a foreign currency and the date they enter into an offsetting contract for the purchase of the foreign currency, the funds will realize a gain to the extent the price of the currency they have agreed to sell

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

exceeds the price of the currency they have agreed to purchase. Should forward prices increase, the funds will suffer a loss to the extent the price of the currency they have agreed to purchase exceeds the price of the currency they have agreed to sell.

The funds` dealing in forward foreign currency exchange contracts will generally be limited to the transactions described above. However, the funds reserve the right to enter into forward foreign currency contracts for different purposes and under different circumstances. Of course, the funds are not required to enter into forward contracts with regard to their foreign currency-denominated securities and will not do so unless deemed appropriate by T. Rowe Price. It also should be realized that this method of hedging against a decline in the value of a currency does not eliminate fluctuations in the underlying prices of the securities. It simply establishes a rate of exchange at a future date. Additionally, although such contracts tend to minimize the risk of loss due to a decline in the value of the hedged currency, at the same time, they tend to limit any potential gain which might result from an increase in the value of that currency.

Although the funds value their assets daily in terms of U.S. dollars, they do not intend to convert their holdings of foreign currencies into U.S. dollars on a daily basis. They will do so from time to time, and there are costs associated with currency conversion. Although foreign exchange dealers do not charge a fee for conversion, they do realize a profit based on the difference between the prices at which they are buying and selling various currencies. Thus, a dealer may offer to sell a foreign currency to the funds at one rate, while offering a lesser rate of exchange should the funds desire to resell that currency to the dealer.

Federal Tax Treatment of Options, Futures Contracts, and Forward Foreign Exchange Contracts

The funds may enter into certain options, futures, forward foreign exchange contracts, and swaps, including options and futures on currencies. Entering into such transactions can affect the timing and character of the income and gains realized by the funds and the timing and character of fund distributions.

Such contracts , which qualify as Section 1256 contracts , will be considered to have been closed at the end of the funds` fiscal years and any gains or losses will be recognized for tax purposes at that time. Such gains or losses (as well as gains or losses from the normal closing or settlement of such transactions) will be characterized as 60% long-term capital gain (taxable at a maximum rate of 15%) or loss and 40% short-term capital gain or loss regardless of the holding period of the instrument (ordinary income or loss for foreign exchange contracts). The funds will be required to distribute net gains on such transactions to shareholders even though it may not have closed the transaction and received cash to pay such distributions.

Certain options, futures, forward foreign exchange contracts, and swaps, which offset another security in the fund, including options, futures, and forward exchange contracts on currencies, which offset a foreign dollar- denominated bond or currency position, may be considered straddles for tax purposes. Generally, a loss on any position in a straddle will be subject to deferral to the extent of any unrealized gain in an offsetting position. For securities that were held for one year or less at inception of the straddle, the holding period may be deemed not to begin until the straddle is terminated. If securities comprising a straddle have been held for more than one year at inception of the straddle, losses on offsetting positions may be treated as entirely long-term capital losses even if the offsetting positions have been held for less than one year. However, a fund may choose to comply with certain identification requirements for offsetting positions that are components of a straddle. Losses with respect to identified positions are not deferred, rather the basis of the identified position that offset the loss position is increased.

In order for the funds to continue to qualify for federal income tax treatment as regulated investment companies, at least 90% of their gross income for a taxable year must be derived from qualifying income, e.g ., generally dividends, interest, income derived from loans of securities, and gains from the sale of securities or currencies. Tax regulations could be issued limiting the extent to which the net gain realized from options, futures, or forward foreign exchange contracts on currencies is qualifying income for purposes of the 90% requirement.

Entering into certain options, futures, forward foreign exchange contracts, or swaps may result in a "constructive sale" of offsetting stocks or debt securities of the funds. In such case the funds will be required to realize gain, but not loss, on the sale of such positions as if the position were sold on that date.

For certain options, futures, forward foreign exchange contracts, or swaps, the IRS has not issued comprehensive rules relating to the timing and character of income and gains realized on such contracts.

Although not anticipated, it is possible that final rules could result in changes to the amounts recorded by the funds, potentially resulting in tax consequences to the funds.

Options

<R>

Options are a type of potentially high-risk derivative.

</R>

Writing Covered Call Options

The funds may write (sell) American or European style "covered" call options and purchase options to close out options previously written. In writing covered call options, the funds expect to generate additional premium income, which should serve to enhance the funds` total return and reduce the effect of any price decline of the security or currency involved in the option. Covered call options will generally be written on securities or currencies which, in T. Rowe Price`s opinion, are not expected to have any major price increases or moves in the near future but which, over the long term, are deemed to be attractive investments for the funds.

A call option gives the holder (buyer) the right to purchase, and the writer (seller) has the obligation to sell, a security or currency at a specified price (the exercise price) at expiration of the option (European style) or at any time until a certain date (the expiration date) (American style). So long as the obligation of the writer of a call option continues, he may be assigned an exercise notice by the broker-dealer through whom such option was sold, requiring him to deliver the underlying security or currency against payment of the exercise price. This obligation terminates upon the expiration of the call option or such earlier time at which the writer effects a closing purchase transaction by repurchasing an option identical to that previously sold. To secure his obligation to deliver the underlying security or currency in the case of a call option, a writer is required to deposit in escrow the underlying security or currency or other assets in accordance with the rules of a clearing corporation.

The funds generally will write only covered call options. This means that the funds will either own the security or currency subject to the option or an option to purchase the same underlying security or currency having an exercise price equal to or less than the exercise price of the "covered" option. From time to time, the funds will write a call option that is not covered as indicated above but where the funds will establish and maintain, with its custodian for the term of the option, an account consisting of cash, U.S. government securities, other liquid high-grade debt obligations, or other suitable cover as permitted by the SEC, having a value equal to the fluctuating market value of the optioned securities or currencies. While such an option would be "covered" with sufficient collateral to satisfy SEC prohibitions on issuing senior securities, this type of strategy would expose the funds to the risks of writing uncovered options.

Portfolio securities or currencies on which call options may be written will be purchased solely on the basis of investment considerations consistent with the funds` investment objectives. The writing of covered call options is a conservative investment technique believed to involve relatively little risk (in contrast to the writing of naked or uncovered options, which the funds generally will not do) but capable of enhancing the funds` total return. When writing a covered call option, the funds, in return for the premium, give up the opportunity for profit from a price increase in the underlying security or currency above the exercise price, but conversely retain the risk of loss should the price of the security or currency decline. Unlike one that owns securities or currencies not subject to an option, the funds have no control over when they may be required to sell the underlying securities or currencies, since they may be assigned an exercise notice at any time prior to the expiration of its obligation as a writer. If a call option the funds have written expires, the funds will realize a gain in the amount of the premium; however, such gain may be offset by a decline in the market value of the underlying security or currency during the option period. If the call option is exercised, the funds will realize a gain or loss from the sale of the underlying security or currency. The funds do not consider a security or currency covered by a call to be "pledged" as that term is used in the funds` policy, which limits the pledging or mortgaging of assets. If the fund writes an uncovered option as described above, it will bear the risk of having to purchase the security subject to the option at a price higher than the exercise price of the option. As the price of a security could appreciate substantially, the funds` loss could be significant.

The premium received is the market value of an option. The premium the funds will receive from writing a call option will reflect, among other things, the current market price of the underlying security or currency, the relationship of the exercise price to such market price, the historical price volatility of the underlying security or currency, and the length of the option period. Once the decision to write a call option has been made, T. Rowe

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

Price, in determining whether a particular call option should be written on a particular security or currency, will consider the reasonableness of the anticipated premium and the likelihood that a liquid secondary market will exist for those options. The premium received by the funds for writing covered call options will be recorded as a liability of the funds. This liability will be adjusted daily to the option`s current market value, which will be the latest sale price on its primary exchange at the time at which the net asset values per share of the funds are computed (close of the New York Stock Exchange) or, in the absence of such sale, the mean of closing bid and ask prices. The option will be terminated upon expiration of the option, the purchase of an identical option in a closing transaction, or delivery of the underlying security or currency upon the exercise of the option.

Closing transactions will be effected in order to realize a profit on an outstanding call option, to prevent an underlying security or currency from being called, or to permit the sale of the underlying security or currency. Furthermore, effecting a closing transaction will permit the funds to write another call option on the underlying security or currency with either a different exercise price or expiration date or both. If the funds desire to sell a particular security or currency from their portfolios on which they have written a call option, or purchased a put option, they will seek to effect a closing transaction prior to, or concurrently with, the sale of the security or currency. There is, of course, no assurance that the funds will be able to effect such closing transactions at favorable prices. If the funds cannot enter into such a transaction, they may be required to hold a security or currency that they might otherwise have sold. When the funds write a covered call option, they run the risk of not being able to participate in the appreciation of the underlying securities or currencies above the exercise price, as well as the risk of being required to hold on to securities or currencies that are depreciating in value. This could result in higher transaction costs. The funds will pay transaction costs in connection with the writing of options to close out previously written options. Such transaction costs are normally higher than those applicable to purchases and sales of portfolio securities.

Call options written by the funds will normally have expiration dates of less than nine months from the date written. The exercise price of the options may be below, equal to, or above the current market values of the underlying securities or currencies at the time the options are written. From time to time, the funds may purchase an underlying security or currency for delivery in accordance with an exercise notice of a call option assigned to it, rather than delivering such security or currency from their portfolios. In such cases, additional costs may be incurred.

The funds will realize a profit or loss from a closing purchase transaction if the cost of the transaction is less or more than the premium received from the writing of the option. Because increases in the market price of a call option will generally reflect increases in the market price of the underlying security or currency, any loss resulting from the repurchase of a call option is likely to be offset in whole or in part by appreciation of the underlying security or currency owned by the funds.

The funds will not write a covered call option if, as a result, the aggregate market value of all portfolio securities or currencies covering written call or put options exceeds 25% of the market value of the funds` total assets. In calculating the 25% limit, the funds will offset the value of securities underlying purchased calls and puts on identical securities or currencies with identical maturity dates.

Writing Covered Put Options

The funds may write American or European style covered put options and purchase options to close out options previously written by the funds. A put option gives the purchaser of the option the right to sell, and the writer (seller) has the obligation to buy, the underlying security or currency at the exercise price during the option period (American style) or at the expiration of the option (European style). So long as the obligation of the writer continues, he may be assigned an exercise notice by the broker-dealer through whom such option was sold, requiring him to make payment to the exercise price against delivery of the underlying security or currency. The operation of put options in other respects, including their related risks and rewards, is substantially identical to that of call options.

If the funds write put options, they will do so only on a covered basis. This means that the funds would maintain, in a segregated account, cash, U.S. government securities, other liquid high-grade debt obligations, or other suitable cover as determined by the SEC, in an amount not less than the exercise price. Alternatively, the funds will own an option to sell the underlying security or currency subject to the option having an exercise price equal to or greater than the exercise price of the "covered" option at all times while the put option is

outstanding. (The rules of a clearing corporation currently require that such assets be deposited in escrow to secure payment of the exercise price.)

The funds would generally write covered put options in circumstances where T. Rowe Price wishes to purchase the underlying security or currency for the funds` portfolios at a price lower than the current market price of the security or currency. In such event the funds would write a put option at an exercise price which, reduced by the premium received on the option, reflects the lower price it is willing to pay. Since the funds would also receive interest on debt securities or currencies maintained to cover the exercise price of the option, this technique could be used to enhance current return during periods of market uncertainty. The risk in such a transaction would be that the market price of the underlying security or currency would decline below the exercise price, less the premiums received. Such a decline could be substantial and result in a significant loss to the funds. In addition, the funds, because they do not own the specific securities or currencies which they may be required to purchase in exercise of the put, cannot benefit from appreciation, if any, with respect to such specific securities or currencies.

The funds will not write a covered put option if, as a result, the aggregate market value of all portfolio securities or currencies covering put or call options exceeds 25% of the market value of the funds` total assets. In calculating the 25% limit, the funds will offset the value of securities underlying purchased puts and calls on identical securities or currencies with identical maturity dates.

The premium received by the funds for writing covered put options will be recorded as a liability of the funds. This liability will be adjusted daily to the option`s current market value, which will be the latest sale price on its primary exchange at the time at which the net asset value per share of the funds is computed (close of the New York Stock Exchange), or, in the absence of such sale, the mean of the closing bid and ask prices.

Purchasing Put Options

The funds may purchase American or European style put options. As the holder of a put option, the funds have the right to sell the underlying security or currency at the exercise price at any time during the option period (American style) or at the expiration of the option (European style). The funds may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to such options, exercise them, or permit them to expire. The funds may purchase put options for defensive purposes in order to protect against an anticipated decline in the value of their securities or currencies. An example of such use of put options is provided next.

The funds may purchase a put option on an underlying security or currency (a "protective put" ) owned by the funds as a defensive technique in order to protect against an anticipated decline in the value of the security or currency. Such hedge protection is provided only during the life of the put option when the funds, as holder of the put option, are able to sell the underlying security or currency at the put exercise price regardless of any decline in the underlying security`s market price or currency`s exchange value. For example, a put option may be purchased in order to protect unrealized appreciation of a security or currency where T. Rowe Price deems it desirable to continue to hold the security or currency because of tax considerations. The premium paid for the put option and any transaction costs would reduce any capital gain otherwise available for distribution when the security or currency is eventually sold.

The funds may also purchase put options at a time when they do not own the underlying security or currency. By purchasing put options on a security or currency they do not own, the funds seek to benefit from a decline in the market price of the underlying security or currency. If the put option is not sold when it has remaining value and if the market price of the underlying security or currency remains equal to or greater than the exercise price during the life of the put option, the funds will lose their entire investment in the put option. In order for the purchase of a put option to be profitable, the market price of the underlying security or currency must decline sufficiently below the exercise price to cover the premium and transaction costs, unless the put option is sold in a closing sale transaction.

The funds will not commit more than 5% of total assets to premiums when purchasing put options. The premium paid by the funds when purchasing a put option will be recorded as an asset of the funds in the portfolio of investments. This asset will be adjusted daily to the option`s current market value, which will be the latest sale price on its primary exchange at the time at which the net asset values per share of the funds are computed (close of New York Stock Exchange) or, in the absence of such sale, the mean of closing bid and ask

<R>

</R>

prices. This asset will be terminated upon expiration of the option, the selling (writing) of an identical option in a closing transaction, or the delivery of the underlying security or currency upon the exercise of the option.

Purchasing Call Options

The funds may purchase American or European style call options. As the holder of a call option, the funds have the right to purchase the underlying security or currency at the exercise price at any time during the option period (American style) or at the expiration of the option (European style). The funds may enter into closing sale transactions with respect to such options, exercise them, or permit them to expire. The funds may purchase call options for the purpose of increasing their current return or avoiding tax consequences which could reduce their current return. The funds may also purchase call options in order to acquire the underlying securities or currencies. Examples of such uses of call options are provided next.

Call options may be purchased by the funds for the purpose of acquiring the underlying securities or currencies for their portfolios. Utilized in this fashion, the purchase of call options enables the funds to acquire the securities or currencies at the exercise price of the call option plus the premium paid. At times the net cost of acquiring securities or currencies in this manner may be less than the cost of acquiring the securities or currencies directly. This technique may also be useful to the funds in purchasing a large block of securities or currencies that would be more difficult to acquire by direct market purchases. So long as the funds hold such a call option, rather than the underlying security or currency itself, the funds are partially protected from any unexpected decline in the market price of the underlying security or currency and in such event could allow the call option to expire, incurring a loss only to the extent of the premium paid for the option.

The funds may also purchase call options on underlying securities or currencies they own in order to protect unrealized gains on call options previously written by them. A call option would be purchased for this purpose where tax considerations make it inadvisable to realize such gains through a closing purchase transaction. Call options may also be purchased at times to avoid realizing losses.

The funds will not commit more than 5% of total assets to premiums when purchasing call and put options. The premium paid by the funds when purchasing a call option will be recorded as an asset of the funds in the portfolio of investments. This asset will be adjusted daily to the option`s current market value, which will be the latest sale price on its primary exchange at the time at which the net asset values per share of the funds are computed (close of New York Stock Exchange), or, in the absence of such sale, the mean of closing bid and ask prices.

Dealer (Over-the-Counter) Options

<R>

The funds may engage in transactions involving dealer options. Certain risks are specific to dealer options. While the funds would look to a clearing corporation to exercise exchange-traded options, if the funds were to purchase a dealer option, they would rely primarily on the dealer from whom they purchased the option to perform if the option were exercised. Failure by the dealer to do so c ould result in the loss of the premium paid by the funds as well as loss of the expected benefit of the transaction.

</R>

<R>

Exchange-traded options generally have a continuous liquid market, while dealer options are less liquid or co u ld have no liquidity . Consequently, the funds will generally be able to realize the value of a dealer option they have purchased only by exercising it or reselling it to the dealer who issued it. Under certain conditions, the funds may also be able to resell or assign a purchased dealer option to another dealer on substantially the sam e terms. Similarly, when the funds write a dealer option, unless they can assign the option to another dealer, they generally will be able to close out the option prior to its expiration only by entering into a closing purchase transaction with the dealer to which the funds originally wrote the option. While the funds will seek to enter into dealer options only with dealers who will agree to and are expected to be capable of entering into closing transactions with the funds, there can be no assurance that the dealers will consent to the closing transaction nor is it assured that the funds will realize a favorable price . Until the funds, as a covered dealer call option writer, are able to effect a closing purchase transaction, they will not be able to liquidate securities (or other assets) or currencies used as cover until the option expires or is exercised. In the event of insolvency of the counter-party, the funds may be unable to liquidate a dealer option. With respect to options written by the funds, the inability to enter into a closing transaction may result in material losses to the funds.

</R>

The staff of the SEC has taken the position that purchased dealer options and the assets used to secure the written dealer options are illiquid securities. The funds may treat the cover used for written Over-the-Counter

( "OTC" ) options as liquid if the dealer agrees that the funds may repurchase the OTC option they have written for a maximum price to be calculated by a predetermined formula. In such cases, the OTC option would be considered illiquid only to the extent the maximum repurchase price under the formula exceeds the intrinsic value of the option.

<R>

For certain types of OTC options that have substantially similar terms to exchange-traded options, the funds may treat such options, and the underlying cover used for written options, as liquid based on the following factors : (1) the frequency and availability of dealer quotes and the comparability to prices available on an options exchange; (2) the number of dealers willing to purchase or accept assignments of such OTC options; and (3) the nature of the OTC options, their settlement terms and their termination provisions (i.e., the time needed to close out or terminate an OTC position, method of soliciting offers, and mechanics of transfer).

</R>

Warrants

Warrants can be highly volatile and have no voting rights, pay no dividends, and have no rights with respect to the assets of the corporation issuing them. Warrants basically are options to purchase securities at a specific price valid for a specific period of time. They do not represent ownership of the securities, but only the right to buy them. Warrants differ from call options in that warrants are issued by the issuer of the security which may be purchased on their exercise, whereas call options may be written or issued by anyone. The prices of warrants do not necessarily move parallel to the prices of the underlying securities.

There are, of course, other types of securities that are or may become available that are similar to the foregoing, and the funds may invest in these securities.

<R>

Hybrid Instruments

</R>

A hybrid instrument is a debt security, preferred stock, depository share, trust certificate, certificate of deposit, or other evidence of indebtedness on which a portion of or all interest payments, and/or the principal or stated amount payable at maturity, redemption, or retirement is determined by reference to prices, changes in prices, or differences between prices of securities, currencies, intangibles, goods, articles, or commodities (collectively, "underlying assets" ) or by another objective index, economic factor, or other measure, such as interest rates, currency exchange rates, commodity indices, and securities indices (collectively, "benchmarks" ). Thus, hybrid instruments may take a variety of forms, including, but not limited to, debt instruments with interest or principal payments or redemption terms determined by reference to the value of a currency or commodity or securities index at a future point in time, preferred stock with dividend rates determined by reference to the value of a currency, or convertible securities with the conversion terms related to a particular commodity.

Hybrid instruments can be an efficient means of creating exposure to a particular market, or segment of a market, with the objective of enhancing total return. For example, the funds may wish to take advantage of expected declines in interest rates in several European countries, but avoid the transaction costs associated with buying and currency-hedging the foreign bond positions. One solution would be to purchase a U.S. dollar- denominated hybrid instrument whose redemption price is linked to the average three-year interest rate in a designated group of countries. The redemption price formula would provide for payoffs of greater than par if the average interest rate was lower than a specified level, and payoffs of less than par if rates were above the specified level. Furthermore, the funds could limit the downside risk of the security by establishing a minimum redemption price so that the principal paid at maturity could not be below a predetermined minimum level if interest rates were to rise significantly. The purpose of this arrangement, known as a structured security with an embedded put option, would be to give the funds the desired European bond exposure while avoiding currency risk, limiting downside market risk, and lowering transaction costs. Of course, there is no guarantee that the strategy will be successful, and the funds could lose money if, for example, interest rates do not move as anticipated or credit problems develop with the issuer of the hybrid instruments.

The risks of investing in hybrid instruments reflect a combination of the risks of investing in securities, options, futures, and currencies. Thus, an investment in a hybrid instrument may entail significant risks that are not associated with a similar investment in a traditional debt instrument that has a fixed principal amount, is denominated in U.S. dollars, or bears interest either at a fixed rate or a floating rate determined by reference to a common, nationally published benchmark. The risks of a particular hybrid instrument will, of course, depend upon the terms of the instrument, but may include, without limitation, the possibility of significant changes in the benchmarks or the prices of underlying assets to which the instrument is linked. Such risks generally

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

depend upon factors which are unrelated to the operations or credit quality of the issuer of the hybrid instrument and which may not be readily foreseen by the purchaser, such as economic and political events, the supply of and demand for the underlying assets, and interest rate movements. In recent years, various benchmarks and prices for underlying assets have been highly volatile, and such volatility may be expected in the future. Reference is also made to the discussion of futures, options, and forward contracts herein for a discussion of the risks associated with such investments.

Hybrid instruments are potentially more volatile and can carry greater market risks than traditional debt instruments. Depending on the structure of the particular hybrid instrument, changes in a benchmark may be magnified by the terms of the hybrid instrument and have an even more dramatic and substantial effect upon the value of the hybrid instrument. Also, the prices of the hybrid instrument and the benchmark or underlying asset may not move in the same direction or at the same time.

Hybrid instruments may bear interest or pay preferred dividends at below market (or even relatively nominal) rates. Alternatively, hybrid instruments may bear interest at above market rates but bear an increased risk of principal loss (or gain). The latter scenario may result if "leverage" is used to structure the hybrid instrument. Leverage risk occurs when the hybrid instrument is structured so that a given change in a benchmark or underlying asset is multiplied to produce a greater value change in the hybrid instrument, thereby magnifying the risk of loss as well as the potential for gain.

Hybrid instruments may also carry liquidity risk since the instruments are often "customized" to meet the portfolio needs of a particular investor, and therefore, the number of investors that are willing and able to buy such instruments in the secondary market may be smaller than that for more traditional debt securities. In addition, because the purchase and sale of hybrid instruments could take place in an over-the-counter market without the guarantee of a central clearing organization or in a transaction between the fund and the issuer of the hybrid instrument, the creditworthiness of the counterparty or issuer of the hybrid instrument would be an additional risk factor which the funds would have to consider and monitor. Hybrid instruments also may not be subject to regulation by the CFTC , which generally regulates the trading of commodity futures by U.S. persons, the SEC, which regulates the offer and sale of securities by and to U.S. persons, or any other governmental regulatory authority.

Swap Agreements

A number of the funds may enter into interest rate, index, total return, credit, and, to the extent they may invest in foreign currency-denominated securities, currency rate swap agreements. The funds may also enter into options on swap agreements (" swap tions ") on the types of swaps listed above as well as swap forwards .

<R>

Swap agreements are typically two-party contracts entered into primarily by institutional investors for a specified period of time. In a standard swap transaction, two parties agree to exchange the returns (or differentials in rates of return) earned or realized on a particular predetermined investment, index, or currency. The gross returns to be exchanged or swapped between the parties are generally calculated with respect to a notional amount, i.e., the return on or increase in value of a particular dollar amount invested at a particular interest rate, in a particular foreign currency, or in a basket of securities representing a particular index. A swaptio n is a contract that gives a counterparty the right (but not the obligation) to enter into a new swap agreement or to shorten, extend, cancel, or otherwise modify an existing swap agreement at some designated future time on specified terms. The funds may write (sell) and purchase put and call swaptions . A swap forward is an agreement to enter into a swap agreement at some point in the future, usually in 3 to 6 months .

</R>

One example of the use of swaps by the funds is to manage the interest rate sensitivity of the funds. The funds might receive or pay a fixed-rate interest rate of a particular maturity and pay or receive a floating rate in order to increase or decrease the duration of the funds. Or, the funds may buy or sell swaptions to effect the same result. The funds may also replicate a security by selling it, placing the proceeds in cash deposits, and receiving a fixed rate in the swap market.

<R>

Another example is the use of credit default swaps to buy or sell credit protection. A default swap is a contract that enables an investor to buy or sell protection against a predetermined issuer credit event. The seller of a credit default swap may enhance income by guaranteeing the creditworthiness of the debt issuer and the buyer is provided with protection against credit risks of the issuer . Market supply and demand factors may cause distortions between the cash securities market and the default swap market.

</R>

Most swap agreements entered into by the funds would calculate the obligations of the parties to the agreement on a "net basis." Consequently, the funds` current obligations (or rights) under a swap agreement will generally be equal only to the net amount to be paid or received under the agreement based on the relative values of the positions held by each party to the agreement (the "net amount" ). The funds` current obligations under a net swap agreement will be accrued daily (offset against any amounts owed to the funds) and any accrued but unpaid net amounts owed to a swap counterparty will be covered by assets determined to be liquid by T. Rowe Price.

The use of swap agreements by the funds entails certain risks. Interest rate and currency swaps could result in losses if interest rate or currency changes are not correctly anticipated by the funds. Total return swaps could result in losses if the reference index, security, or investments do not perform as anticipated by the funds. Credit default swaps could result in losses if the funds do not correctly evaluate the creditworthiness of the company on which the credit default swap is based.

The funds will generally incur a greater degree of risk when it writes a swaption than when it purchases a swaption . When the funds purchase a swaptio n it risks losing only the amount of the premium they have paid should they decide to let the option expire unexercised. However, when the funds write a swaptio n they will become obligated, upon exercise of the option, according to the terms of the underlying agreement.

Because swaps are two-party contracts and because they may have terms of greater than seven days, swap agreements may be considered to be illiquid. Moreover, the funds bear the risk of loss of the amount expected to be received under a swap agreement in the event of the default or bankruptcy of a swap agreement counterparty. The funds will enter into swap agreements only with counterparties that meet certain standards of creditworthiness. The swaps market is largely unregulated. It is possible that developments in the swaps market, including potential government regulation, could adversely affect the funds` ability to terminate existing swap agreements or to realize amounts to be received under such agreements.

There are, of course, other types of securities that are or may become available that are similar to the foregoing, and the funds may invest in these securities.

PORTFOLIO MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

Lending of Portfolio Securities

Securities loans are made to broker-dealers, institutional investors, or other persons pursuant to agreements requiring that the loans be continuously secured by collateral at least equal at all times to the value of the securities lent, marked to market on a daily basis. The collateral received will consist of cash, U.S. government securities, letters of credit, or such other collateral as may be permitted under the funds` investment program. The collateral, in turn, is invested in short-term securities. While the securities are being lent, the funds making the loan will continue to receive the equivalent of the interest or dividends paid by the issuer on the securities, as well as a portion of the interest on the investment of the collateral. Normally, the funds employ an agent to implement their securities lending program and the agent receives a fee from the funds for its services. The funds have a right to call each loan and obtain the securities within such period of time that coincides with the normal settlement period for purchases and sales of such securities in the respective markets. The funds will not have the right to vote on securities while they are being lent, but they may call a loan in anticipation of any important vote, when practical. The risks in lending portfolio securities, as with other extensions of secured credit, consist of a possible default by the borrower, delay in receiving additional collateral or in the recovery of the securities, or possible loss of rights in the collateral, should the borrower fail financially. Loans will be made only to firms deemed by T. Rowe Price to be of good standing and will not be made unless, in the judgment of T. Rowe Price, the consideration to be earned from such loans would justify the risk. Additionally, the funds bear the risk that the reinvestment of collateral will result in a principal loss. Finally, there is also the risk that the price of the securities will increase while they are on loan and the collateral will not adequately cover their value.

Interfund Borrowing and Lending

The funds are parties to an exemptive order received from the SEC on December 8, 1998, amended on November 23, 1999, that permits them to borrow money from and/or lend money to other funds in the T. Rowe

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

Price complex. All loans are set at an interest rate between the rates charged on overnight repurchase agreements and short-term bank loans. All loans are subject to numerous conditions designed to ensure fair and equitable treatment of all participating funds. The program is subject to the oversight and periodic review of the Boards of Price Funds.

Repurchase Agreements

The funds may enter into a repurchase agreement through which an investor (such as the funds) purchases securities (known as the "underlying security" ) from well-established securities dealers or banks that are members of the Federal Reserve System. Any such dealer or bank will be on T. Rowe Price`s approved list. At that time, the bank or securities dealer agrees to repurchase the underlying security at the same price, plus specified interest. Repurchase agreements are generally for a short period of time, often less than a week. Repurchase agreements that do not provide for payment within seven days will be treated as illiquid securities. The funds will enter into repurchase agreements only where (1) the underlying securities are of the type (excluding maturity limitations) which the funds` investment guidelines would allow them to purchase directly, (2) the market value of the underlying security, including interest accrued, will be at all times equal to or exceed the value of the repurchase agreement, and (3) payment for the underlying security is made only upon physical delivery or evidence of book-entry transfer to the account of the custodian or a bank acting as agent. In the event of a bankruptcy or other default of a seller of a repurchase agreement, the funds could experience both delays in liquidating the underlying security and losses, including: (a) possible decline in the value of the underlying security during the period while the funds seek to enforce their rights thereto; (b) possible subnormal levels of income and lack of access to income during this period; and (c) expenses of enforcing their rights.

Reverse Repurchase Agreements

Although the funds have no current intention of engaging in reverse repurchase agreements, they reserve the right to do so. Reverse repurchase agreements are ordinary repurchase agreements in which a fund is the seller of, rather than the investor in, securities and agrees to repurchase them at an agreed upon time and price. Use of a reverse repurchase agreement may be preferable to a regular sale and later repurchase of the securities because it avoids certain market risks and transaction costs. A reverse repurchase agreement may be viewed as a type of borrowing by the funds, subject to Investment Restriction (1). (See "Investment Restrictions.")

Money Market Reserves

The funds may invest their cash reserves primarily in one or more money market funds established for the exclusive use of the T. Rowe Price family of mutual funds and other clients of T. Rowe Price. Currently, two such money market funds are in operation: T. Rowe Price Government Reserve Investment Fund ( "GRF" ) and T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Fund ( "RIF" ), each a series of the T. Rowe Price Reserve Investment Funds, Inc. Additional series may be created in the future. These funds were created and operate under an exemptive order issued by the SEC.

Both funds must comply with the requirements of Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act governing money market funds. GRF invests primarily in a portfolio of U.S. government-backed securities, primarily U.S. Treasuries, and repurchase agreements thereon. RIF invests at least 95% of its total assets in prime money market instruments receiving the highest credit rating.

GRF and RIF provide a very efficient means of managing the cash reserves of the funds. While neither GRF nor RIF pays an advisory fee to T. Rowe Price, they will incur other expenses. However, GRF and RIF are expected by T. Rowe Price to operate at very low expense ratios. The funds will only invest in GRF or RIF to the extent it is consistent with their investment objectives and programs.

Neither fund is insured or guaranteed by the FDIC or any other government agency. Although the funds seek to maintain a stable net asset value of $1.00 per share, it is possible to lose money by investing in them.

High Yield, Institutional Floating Rate, and Institutional High Yield Funds

Short Sales

The funds may make short sales for hedging purposes to protect them against companies whose credit is deteriorating. Short sales are transactions in which the funds sell a security they do not own in anticipation of a decline in the market value of that security. The funds` short sales would be limited to situations where the

funds own a debt security of a company and would sell short the common or preferred stock or another debt security at a different level of the capital structure of the same company. No securities will be sold short if, after the effect is given to any such short sale, the total market value of all securities sold short would exceed 2% of the value of the funds` net assets.

To complete a short-sale transaction, the funds must borrow the security to make delivery to the buyer. The funds then are obligated to replace the security borrowed by purchasing it at the market price at the time of replacement. The price at such time may be more or less than the price at which the security was sold by the fund. Until the security is replaced, the funds are required to pay to the lender amounts equal to any dividends or interest which accrue during the period of the loan. To borrow the security, the funds also may be required to pay a premium, which would increase the cost of the security sold. The proceeds of the short sale will be retained by the broker, to the extent necessary to meet margin requirements, until the short position is closed out.

Until the funds replace a borrowed security in connection with a short sale, the funds will: (a) maintain daily a segregated account, containing cash, U.S. government securities, or other suitable cover as permitted by the SEC, at such a level that (i) the amount deposited in the account plus the amount deposited with the broker as collateral will equal the current value of the security sold short and (ii) the amount deposited in the segregated account plus the amount deposited with the broker as collateral will not be less than the market value of the security at the time it was sold short; or (b) otherwise cover its short position.

The funds will incur a loss as a result of the short sale if the price of the security sold short increases between the date of the short sale and the date on which the funds replace the borrowed security. The funds will realize a gain if the security sold short declines in price between those dates. This result is the opposite of what one would expect from a cash purchase of a long position in a security. The amount of any gain will be decreased, and the amount of any loss increased, by the amount of any premium, dividends, or interest the funds may be required to pay in connection with a short sale. Any gain or loss on the security sold short would be separate from a gain or loss on the funds` security being hedged by the short sale.

The Taxpayer Relief Act of 1997 requires a mutual fund to recognize gain upon entering into a constructive sale of stock, a partnership interest, or certain debt positions occurring after June 8, 1997. A constructive sale is deemed to occur if the funds enter into a short sale, an offsetting notional principal contract, or a futures or forward contract which is substantially identical to the appreciated position. Some of the transactions in which the funds are permitted to invest may cause certain appreciated positions in securities held by the funds to qualify as a "constructive sale," in which case it would be treated as sold and the resulting gain subjected to tax or, in the case of a mutual fund, distributed to shareholders. If this were to occur, the funds would be required to distribute such gains even though it would receive no cash until the later sale of the security. Such distributions could reduce the amount of cash available for investment by the funds. Because these rules do not apply to "straight" debt transactions, it is not anticipated that they will have a significant impact on the funds; however, the effect cannot be determined until the issuance of clarifying regulations.

INVESTMENT RESTRICTIONS

Fundamental policies may not be changed without the approval of the lesser of (1) 67% of the funds` shares present at a meeting of shareholders if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares are present in person or by proxy or (2) more than 50% of the funds` outstanding shares. Other restrictions in the form of operating policies are subject to change by the funds` Boards without shareholder approval. Any investment restriction which involves a maximum percentage of securities or assets shall not be considered to be violated unless an excess over the percentage occurs immediately after, and is caused by, an acquisition of securities or assets of, or borrowings by, the funds. With the exception of the diversification test required by the Internal Revenue Code ( "IRC" ), calculation of the funds` total assets for compliance with any of the following fundamental or operating policies or any other investment restrictions set forth in the funds` prospectuses or SAI will not include collateral held in connection with securities lending activities. For purposes of the tax diversification test, calculation of the fund`s total assets will include investments made with cash received by the funds as collateral for securities loaned. The IRC diversification test is set forth in the prospectuses of the funds referred to by name in restrictions (8) and (9) below.

Fundamental Policies

As a matter of fundamental policy, the funds may not:

(a) Borrowing (All funds except Spectrum Funds) Borrow money , except that the funds may (i) borrow for non-leveraging, temporary, or emergency purposes; and (ii) engage in reverse repurchase agreements and make other investments or engage in other transactions, which may involve a borrowing, in a manner consistent with the funds` investment objectives and programs, provided that the combination of (i) and (ii) shall not exceed 33xb6 / xb8 % of the value of the funds` total assets (including the amount borrowed) less liabilities (other than borrowings) or such other percentage permitted by law. Any borrowings which come to exceed this amount will be reduced in accordance with applicable law. The funds may borrow from banks, other Price Funds, or other persons to the extent permitted by applicable law;

(b) Borrowing (Spectrum Funds) Borrow money, except the funds may borrow from banks or other Price Funds as a temporary measure for extraordinary or emergency purposes, and then only in amounts not exceeding 30% of total assets valued at market. The funds will not borrow in order to increase income (leveraging), but only to facilitate redemption requests which might otherwise require untimely disposition of portfolio securities. Interest paid on any such borrowings will reduce net investment income;

(a) Commodities (All funds except Spectrum Growth and Spectrum Income Funds) Purchase or sell physical commodities, except that the funds (other than the Money Funds) may enter into futures contracts and options thereon;

(b) Commodities ( Spectrum Growth and Spectrum Income Funds) Purchase or sell commodities or commodity or futures contracts ;

NOTES

The following Notes should be read in connection with the above-described fundamental policies. The Notes are not fundamental policies.

Money funds With respect to investment restriction (1), the funds have no current intention of engaging in any borrowing transactions.

All funds except Retirement and Spectrum Funds With respect to investment restriction (2), the funds do not consider currency contracts or hybrid investments to be commodities.

All funds except Retirement and Spectrum Funds For purposes of investment restriction (4):

U.S., state, or local governments, or related agencies or instrumentalities, are not considered an industry.

<R>

Industries are determined by reference to the classifications of industries and sub-industries set forth in the Morgan Stanley Capital International/Standard & Poor`s (MSCI/S&P) Global Industry Classification Standard for the International Equity Funds, equity securities of the Tax- Efficient Funds, and Equity Funds except Developing Technologies, Financial Services, Global Technology, Media & Telecommunications, New Era, and Science & Technology Funds. For Developing Technologies, Global Technology, Media & Telecommunications, New Era, and Science & Technology Funds, industries are determined by reference to industry classifications set forth in their semiannual and annual reports. For the Corporate Income, Inflation Protected Bond, Institutional Core Plus, New Income, Short-Term Bond, Short-Term Income, U.S. Bond Index, and the fixed-income investments of the Balanced and Personal Strategy Funds, industries are determined by reference to the classifications of industries and sub-industries set forth in the Lehman Brothers Global Aggregate Bond Index (Lehman). For the Emerging Markets Bond, GNMA, High Yield, Institutional Emerging Markets Bond, Institutional Floating Rate, Institutional High Yield, Institutional International Bond, International Bond, Prime Reserve, TRP Reserve Investment, Summit Income, and U.S. Treasury Funds, industries are determined by reference to industry classifications set forth in their semiannual and annual reports. Annual changes by MSCI/S&P or Lehman to their classifications will be implemented within 30 days after the effective date of the change. The Africa & Middle East Fund, Institutional Africa & Middle East Fund, and Latin America Fund consider telephone and banking companies of a single country to be separate industr ies from telephone and banking companies of any other country. It is the position of the staff of the SEC that foreign governments are industries for purposes of this restriction. For as long as this staff position is in effect, the International Bond Funds will not invest more than 25% of total assets in the securities of any single foreign governmental issuer. For purposes of this restriction, governmental entities are considered separate issuers.

</R>

All funds except Summit Income and U.S. Bond Index Funds For purposes of investment restriction (5), the funds will consider the acquisition of a debt security to include the execution of a note or other evidence of an extension of credit with a term of more than nine months.

All funds except Spectrum Funds For purposes of investment restrictions (8) and (9), the funds will treat bonds which are refunded with escrowed U.S. government securities as U.S. government securities.

Taxable Bond and Money Funds For purposes of investment restrictions (8) and (9), the funds will consider a repurchase agreement fully collateralized with U.S. government securities to be U.S. government securities.

With respect to investment restriction (11), under the 1940 Act, an open-end investment company can borrow money from a bank provided that immediately after such borrowing there is asset coverage of at least 300% for all borrowings. If the asset coverage falls below 300%, the company must, within three business days, reduce the amount of its borrowings to satisfy the 300% requirement.

For purposes of investment restriction (13), the funds measure the amount of their income from taxable securities, including AMT securities, over the course of the funds` taxable year.

</R>

NOTES

The following Notes should be read in connection with the above-described operating policies. The Notes are not operating policies.

<R>

If a fund is subject to an 80% name test as set forth in its prospectus, it will be based on the fund`s net assets plus any borrowings for investment purposes. For purposes of determining whether a fund invests at least 80% of its net assets in a particular country or geographic region, the fund uses the country assigned to a security by MSCI Barra or, if one is not assigned by MSCI Barra, then the country assigned by Bloomberg. The funds generally follow this same process with respect to the remaining 20% of assets but may occasionally make an exception after assessing various factors relating to a company.

</R>

Blue Chip Growth, Capital Opportunity, Developing Technologies, Diversified Small-Cap Growth, Financial Services, Global Technology, Health Sciences, High Yield, Institutional High Yield, Media & Telecommunications, Mid-Cap Value, Personal Strategy, Real Estate, Summit Income, Summit Municipal, U.S. Bond Index, and Value Funds

Notwithstanding anything in the above fundamental and operating restrictions to the contrary, the funds listed above may invest all of their assets in a single investment company or a series thereof in connection with a "master-feeder" arrangement. Such an investment would be made where the funds (a "Feeder" ), and one or more other funds with the same investment objective and program as the funds, sought to accomplish their investment objectives and programs by investing all of their assets in the shares of another investment company (the "Master" ). The Master would, in turn, have the same investment objective and program as the funds. The funds would invest in this manner in an effort to achieve the economies of scale associated with having a Master fund make investments in portfolio companies on behalf of a number of Feeder funds.

International Funds

In addition to the restrictions described above, some foreign countries limit, or prohibit, all direct foreign investment in the securities of their companies. However, the governments of some countries have authorized the organization of investment funds to permit indirect foreign investment in such securities. For tax purposes, these funds may be known as Passive Foreign Investment Companies. The funds are subject to certain percentage limitations under the 1940 Act relating to the purchase of securities of investment companies, and may be subject to the limitation that no more than 10% of the value of the fund`s total assets may be invested in such securities.

Retirement and Spectrum Funds

There is no limit on the amount the funds may own of the total outstanding voting securities of registered investment companies which are members of the Price Funds. The funds, in accordance with their prospectuses, may invest more than 5% of their total assets in any one or more of the Price Funds. The funds may invest more than 10% of their total assets, collectively, in registered investment companies which are members of the Price Funds.

CUSTODIAN

State Street Bank and Trust Company is the custodian for the funds` U.S. securities and cash, but it does not participate in the funds` investment decisions. Portfolio securities purchased in the U.S. are maintained in the custody of the bank and may be entered into the Federal Reserve Book Entry System, or the security depository system of the Depository Trust Corporation, or any central depository system allowed by federal law. In addition, funds investing in municipal securities are authorized to maintain certain of their securities, in particular, variable rate demand notes, in uncertificated form, in the proprietary deposit systems of various

dealers in municipal securities. State Street Bank`s main office is at 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110. State Street Bank maintains shares of the Retirement and Spectrum Funds in the book entry system of the funds` transfer agent, T. Rowe Price Services, Inc.

All funds that can invest in foreign securities have entered into a Custodian Agreement with JPMorgan Chase Bank, London, pursuant to which portfolio securities which are purchased outside the United States are maintained in the custody of various foreign branches of JPMorgan Chase Bank and such other custodians, including foreign banks and foreign securities depositories as are approved in accordance with regulations under the 1940 Act. The address for JPMorgan Chase Bank, London is Woolgate House, Coleman Street, London, EC2P 2HD, England.

CODE OF ETHICS

The funds, their investment adviser (T. Rowe Price International for international funds and T. Rowe Price for all other funds), and their principal underwriter (T. Rowe Price Investment Services) have a written Code of Ethics which requires persons with access to investment information ( "Access Persons" ) to obtain prior clearance before engaging in personal securities transactions. Transactions must be executed within three business days of their clearance. In addition, all Access Persons must report their personal securities transactions within 10 days after the end of the calendar quarter. Aside from certain limited transactions involving securities in certain issuers with high trading volumes, Access Persons are typically not permitted to effect transactions in a security if: there are pending client orders in the security; the security has been purchased or sold by a client within seven calendar days; the security is being considered for purchase for a client; a change has occurred in T. Rowe Price`s rating of the security within seven calendar days prior to the date of the proposed transaction; or the security is subject to internal trading restrictions. In addition, Access Persons are prohibited from profiting from short-term trading (e.g., purchases and sales involving the same security within 60 days). Any person becoming an Access Person must file a statement of personal securities holdings within 10 days of this date. All Access Persons are required to file an annual statement with respect to their personal securities holdings. Any material violation of the Code of Ethics is reported to the Boards of the funds. The Boards also review the administration of the Code of Ethics on an annual basis.

DISCLOSURE OF FUND PORTFOLIO INFORMATION

Each fund`s portfolio holdings are disclosed on a regular basis in its semiannual and annual reports to shareholders as well as Form N-Q which is filed with the SEC within 60 days of a fund`s first and third fiscal quarter-end. In addition, the funds` Boards have adopted policies and procedures with respect to the disclosure of the funds` portfolio securities and the disclosure of portfolio commentary and statistical information about the funds` portfolios and their securities. The policy on the general manner in which the funds` portfolio securities are disclosed is set forth in the funds` prospectuses. In addition, portfolio holdings with respect to periods prior to the most recent quarter-end may be disclosed upon request, subject to the sole discretion of T. Rowe Price.

This statement of additional information sets forth details of the funds` policy on portfolio holdings disclosure as well as the funds` policy on disclosing information about the funds` portfolios. In adopting the policies, the Boards of the funds took into account the views of the equity, fixed income and/or international steering committees of the funds` investment advisers on what information should be disclosed and when and to whom it should be disclosed. The steering committees have oversight responsibilities for managing the T. Rowe Price funds. Each steering committee is comprised of senior investment management personnel of T. Rowe Price or T. Rowe Price International, as applicable. Each committee as a whole determines the funds` policy on the disclosure of portfolio holdings and related information. The funds` Boards believe the policies they have adopted are in the best interests of the funds and that they strike an appropriate balance between the desire of some persons for information about the funds` portfolios and the need to protect the funds from potentially harmful disclosures.

From time to time, officers of the funds, the funds` investment adviser or the funds` distributor (collectively "T. Rowe Price" ) may express their views orally or in writing on one or more of the funds` portfolio securities or may state that the funds have recently purchased or sold one or more securities. Such views and statements

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

may be made to members of the press, shareholders in the funds, persons considering investing in the funds or representatives of such shareholders or potential shareholders, such as fiduciaries of a 401(k) plan or a trust and their advisers and rating and ranking organizations such as Lipper Inc. and Morningstar, Inc. The nature and content of the views and statements provided to each of these persons may differ. The securities subject to these views and statements may be ones that were purchased or sold since the funds` most recent quarter-end and therefore may not be reflected on the list of the funds` most recent quarter-end portfolio holdings disclosed on the Web site.

Additionally, T. Rowe Price may provide oral or written information ( "portfolio commentary" ) about the funds, including, but not limited to, how the funds` investments are divided among various sectors, industries, countries, value and growth stocks, small-, mid-, and large-cap stocks, and among stocks, bonds, currencies, and cash, types of bonds, bond maturities, bond coupons, and bond credit quality ratings. This portfolio commentary may also include information on how these various weightings and factors contributed to fund performance. T. Rowe Price may also provide oral or written information ( "statistical information" ) about various financial characteristics of the funds or their underlying portfolio securities including, but not limited to, alpha, beta, R-squared, duration, maturity, information ratio, Sharpe ratio, earnings growth, payout ratio, price/ book value, projected earnings growth, return on equity, standard deviation, tracking error, weighted average quality, market capitalization, percent debt to equity, price to cash flow, dividend yield or growth, default rate, portfolio turnover, and risk and style characteristics. This portfolio commentary and statistical information about the funds may be based on the funds` most recent quarter-end portfolio or on some other interim period such as month-end. The portfolio commentary and statistical information may be provided to members of the press, shareholders in the funds, persons considering investing in the funds or representatives of such shareholders or potential shareholders, such as fiduciaries of a 401(k) plan or a trust and their advisers and rating and ranking organizations. The content and nature of the information provided to each of these persons may differ.

None of the persons described above will receive any of the information described above if, in the sole judgment of T. Rowe Price, the information could be used in a manner that would be harmful to the funds. The T. Rowe Price Code of Ethics contains a provision to this effect.

T. Rowe Price also discloses portfolio holdings in connection with the day-to-day operations and management of the funds. Full portfolio holdings are disclosed to the funds` custodians and auditors. Portfolio holdings are disclosed to the funds` pricing service vendors and other persons who provide systems or software support in connection with fund operations, including accounting, compliance support, and pricing. Portfolio holdings may also be disclosed to persons assisting the funds in the voting of proxies. In connection with managing the funds, the funds` investment advisers may use analytical systems provided by third parties who may have access to the funds` portfolio holdings. In all of these situations, the funds or T. Rowe Price have entered into an agreement with the outside party under which the party undertakes to maintain the funds` portfolio holdings on a confidential basis and to refrain from trading on the basis of the information. T. Rowe Price relies on these non-disclosure agreements in determining that such disclosures are not harmful to the funds. The names of these persons and the services they provide are set forth below under "Fund Service Providers." The policies and procedures adopted by the funds` Boards require that any additions to the list of "Fund Service Providers" be approved by specified officers at T. Rowe Price.

Additionally, when purchasing and selling its securities through broker-dealers, requesting bids on securities, obtaining price quotations on securities as well as in connection with litigation involving the funds` portfolio securities, the funds may disclose one or more of their securities. The funds have not entered into formal non- disclosure agreements in connection with these situations; however, the funds would not continue to conduct business with a person who T. Rowe Price believed was misusing the disclosed information.

PRICING OF SECURITIES

All Price Funds (except Money Funds and Fund-of-Funds)

E quity securities listed or regularly traded on a securities exchange or in the over-the-counter market are valued at the last quoted sale price or, for certain markets, the official closing price at the time the valuations are made, except for OTC Bulletin Board securities, which are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices. A security that is listed or traded on more than one exchange is valued at the quotation on the exchange determined to be the primary market for such security. Listed securities not traded on a particular day are valued at the mean of the latest bid and asked prices for domestic securities and the last quoted sale price for international securities.

Debt securities are generally traded in the over-the-counter market. Securities with original maturities of one year or more are valued using prices furnished by dealers who make markets in such securities or by an

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

independent pricing service, which considers yield or price of bonds of comparable quality, coupon, maturity, and type, as well as prices quoted by dealers who make markets in such securities. Securities with original maturities of less than one year are valued at amortized cost in local currency, which approximates fair value when combined with accrued interest.

Investments in mutual funds are valued at the closing net asset value per share of the mutual fund on the day of valuation. Purchased and written options are valued at the mean of the closing bid and asked prices. Options on futures contracts are valued at the last sale price. Foreign currency forward contracts are valued using the prevailing forward exchange rate. Financial futures contracts are valued at the closing settlement price. Swap agreements are valued using prices furnished by dealers who make markets in such investments or by an independent pricing service.

<R>

Assets, including investments, and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are translated into U.S. dollar values each day at the prevailing exchange rate, using the mean of the bid and asked prices of such currencies against U.S. dollars quoted by a major bank or by an independent pricing service . Purchases and sales of securities, income, and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars at the prevailing exchange rate on the dates of such transactions.

</R>

Trading in the portfolio securities of the funds may take place in various foreign markets on certain days (such as Saturday ) when the funds are not open for business and do not calculate their net asset value. As a result, net asset values may be significantly affected by trading on days when shareholders cannot make transactions. In addition, trading in the funds` portfolio securities may not occur on days when the funds are open.

Money Funds

Securities are valued at amortized cost.

Fund-of-Funds

The underlying Price funds held by each fund are valued at their closing net asset value per share on the day of valuatio n.

All Price Funds

Other investments, including restricted securities, and those for which the above valuation procedures are inappropriate or are deemed not to reflect fair value are stated at fair value as determined in good faith by the T. Rowe Price Valuation Committee, established by the funds` Boards.

NET ASSET VALUE PER SHARE

The purchase and redemption price of the funds` shares is equal to the funds` net asset value per share or share price. The funds determine their net asset value per share by subtracting their liabilities (including accrued expenses and dividends payable) from their total assets (the market value of the securities the funds hold plus cash and other assets, including income accrued but not yet received) and dividing the result by the total number of shares outstanding. The net asset value per share of the funds is calculated as of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange ( "NYSE" ) every day the NYSE is open for trading. Determination of net asset value (and the offering, sale, redemption, and repurchase of shares) for the funds may be suspended at times (a) during which the NYSE is closed, other than customary weekend and holiday closings , (b) during which trading on the NYSE is restricted, (c) during which an emergency exists as a result of which disposal by the funds of securities owned by them is not reasonably practicable or it is not reasonably practicable for the funds fairly to determine the value of their net assets, or (d) during which a governmental body having jurisdiction over the funds may by order permit such a suspension for the protection of the funds` shareholders, provided that applicable rules and regulations of the SEC (or any succeeding governmental authority) shall govern as to whether the conditions prescribed in (b), (c), or (d) exist.

Money Funds

Maintenance of Money Funds` Net Asset Value per Share at $1.00

It is the policy of the funds to attempt to maintain a net asset value of $1.00 per share by using the amortized cost method of valuation permitted by Rule 2a-7 under the 1940 Act. Under this method, securities are valued by reference to the funds` acquisition costs as adjusted for amortization of premium or accumulation of discount, rather than by reference to their market value. Under Rule 2a-7:

(a) The Boards must establish written procedures reasonably designed, taking into account current market conditions and the funds` investment objectives, to stabilize the funds` net asset value per share, as computed for the purpose of distribution, redemption, and repurchase, at a single value;

(b) The funds must (i) maintain a dollar weighted average portfolio maturity appropriate to their objective of maintaining a stable price per share, (ii) not purchase any instrument with a remaining maturity greater than 397 days, and (iii) maintain a dollar weighted average portfolio maturity of 90 days or less;

(c) The funds must limit their purchase of portfolio instruments, including repurchase agreements, to those U.S. dollar-denominated instruments which the funds` Boards determine present minimal credit risks and which are eligible securities as defined by Rule 2a-7; and

(d) The Boards must determine that (i) it is in the best interest of the funds and the shareholders to maintain a stable net asset value per share under the amortized cost method; and (ii) the funds will continue to use the amortized cost method only so long as the Boards believe that it fairly reflects the market-based net asset value per share.

Although the funds believe that they will be able to maintain their net asset value at $1.00 per share under most conditions, there can be no absolute assurance that they will be able to do so on a continuous basis. If the funds` net asset value per share declined, or was expected to decline, below $1.00 (rounded to the nearest one cent), the Boards of the funds might temporarily reduce or suspend dividend payments in an effort to maintain the net asset value at $1.00 per share. As a result of such reduction or suspension of dividends, an investor would receive less income during a given period than if such a reduction or suspension had not taken place. Such action could result in an investor receiving no dividend for the period during which he holds his shares and in his receiving, upon redemption, a price per share lower than that which he paid. On the other hand, if the funds` net asset value per share were to increase, or were anticipated to increase, above $1.00 (rounded to the nearest one cent), the Boards of the funds might supplement dividends in an effort to maintain the net asset value at $1.00 per share.

Prime Reserve and TRP Reserve Investment Funds

Prime Money Market Securities Defined

Prime money market securities are those which are described as First Tier Securities under Rule 2a-7 of the 1940 Act. These include any security with a remaining maturity of 397 days or less that is rated (or that has been issued by an issuer that is rated with respect to a class of short-term debt obligations, or any security within that class that is comparable in priority and security with the security) by any two nationally recognized statistical rating organizations (NRSROs) (or if only one NRSRO has issued a rating, that NRSRO) in the highest rating category for short-term debt obligations (within which there may be sub-categories). First Tier Securities also include unrated securities comparable in quality to rated securities, as determined by T. Rowe Price under the supervision of the funds` Boards.

DIVIDENDS AND DISTRIBUTIONS

Unless you elect otherwise, capital gain distributions, final quarterly dividends and annual dividends, if any, will be reinvested on the reinvestment date using the net asset values per share on that date. The reinvestment date normally precedes the payment date by one day, although the exact timing is subject to change and can be as great as 10 days.

TAX STATUS

The funds intend to qualify as "regulated investment companies" under Subchapter M of the Code.

<R>

To be entitled to the special tax benefits applicable to regulated investment companies, the funds will be required to distribute the sum of 90% of their investment company taxable income and 90% of their net tax- exempt income, if any, each year. In order to avoid federal income tax, the funds must distribute all of their investment company taxable income and realized long-term capital gains for each fiscal year within 12 months after the end of the fiscal year. To avoid federal excise tax, the funds must declare dividends by December 31 of each year equal to at least 98% of ordinary income (as of December 31) and capital gains (as of October 31) and distribute such amounts prior to February 1 of the following calendar year. Shareholders are required to include such distributions in their income for federal income tax purposes whether dividends and capital gain distributions are paid in cash or in additional shares.

</R>

<R>

For individual shareholders, a portion of the funds` ordinary dividends representing "qualified dividend income" may be subject to tax at the lower rate applicable to long-term capital gains, rather than ordinary income. Unless extended, this favorable provision will expire on December 31, 2010 , and ordinary dividends will again be taxed at tax rates applicable to ordinary income. "Qualified dividend income" is comp o sed of certain dividends received from domestic and qualified foreign corporations. It excludes dividends representing payments in lieu of dividends related to loaned securities, dividends received on certain hedged positions, dividends on non- qualified foreign corporations, and dividends on stocks the funds have not held for more than 60 days during the 121-day period beginning 60 days before the stock became ex-dividend (90 and 181 days for certain preferred stock). Individual shareholders can only apply the lower rate to the qualified portion of the funds` dividends if they have held the shares in the funds on which the dividends were paid for the holding period surrounding the ex-dividend date of the funds` dividends. Little, if any, of the ordinary dividends from the Tax- Free, Taxable Bond, and Taxable Money Funds is expected to qualify for this lower rate.

</R>

<R>

For corporate shareholders, a portion of the funds` ordinary dividends may be eligible for the 70% deduction for dividends received by corporations to the extent the funds` income consists of dividends paid by U.S. corporations. This deduction does not include dividends representing payments in lieu of dividends related to loaned securities, dividends received on certain hedged positions , dividends received from certain foreign corporations, and dividends on stocks the funds have not held for more than 45 days during the 90-day period beginning 45 days before the stock became ex-dividend (90 and 180 days for certain preferred stock). Corporate shareholders can only apply the lower rate to the qualified portion of the funds` dividends if they have held the shares in the funds on which the dividends were paid for the holding period surrounding the ex- dividend date of the funds` dividends. Little, if any, of the ordinary dividends from the Tax-Free, International (except Global Stock Fund), Taxable Bond, and Taxable Money Funds is expected to qualify for this deduction. Long-term capital gain distributions paid by the funds are not eligible for the dividends-received deduction.

</R>

At the time of your purchase of shares (except in Money Funds), the funds` net asset value may reflect undistributed income, capital gains, or net unrealized appreciation of securities held by the funds. A subsequent distribution to you of such amounts, although constituting a return of your investment, would be taxable as either dividend or capital gain distributions. The funds may be able to reduce the amount of such distributions by utilizing their capital loss carry-overs, if any. For federal income tax purposes, the funds are permitted to carry forward their net realized capital losses, if any, for eight years and realize net capital gains up to the amount of such losses without being required to pay taxes on, or distribute, such gains.

If, in any taxable year, a fund does not qualify as a regulated investment company under the Code: (1) the fund would be taxed at the normal corporate rates on the entire amount of its taxable income, if any, without a deduction for dividends or other distributions to shareholders; (2) the fund`s distributions, to the extent made out of the fund`s current or accumulated earnings and profits, would be taxable to shareholders as ordinary dividends regardless of whether they would otherwise have been considered capital gain dividends; (3) the fund may qualify for the 70% deduction for dividends received by corporations; and (4) foreign tax credits would not "pass through" to shareholders.

Taxation of Foreign Shareholders

<R>

Foreign shareholders may be subject to U.S. tax on the sale of shares in any fund, or on distributions of ordinary income and/or capital gains realized by a fund, depending on a number of factors, including the foreign shareholder`s country of tax residence, its other U.S. operations (if any), and the nature of the distribution

</R>

<R>

received. Foreign shareholders should consult their own tax adviser to determine the precise U.S. and local tax consequences to an investment in any fund.

</R>

Retirement and Spectrum Funds

Distributions by the underlying Price funds, redemptions of shares in the underlying Price funds, and changes in asset allocations may result in taxable distributions of ordinary income or capital gains. In addition, the funds will generally not be able to currently offset gains realized by one underlying Price fund in which the funds invest against losses realized by another underlying Price fund. These factors could affect the amount, timing, and character of distributions to shareholders.

State Tax-Free and Tax-Free Funds

The funds anticipate that substantially all of the dividends to be paid by each fund will be exempt from federal income taxes. It is possible that a portion of the funds` dividends is not exempt from federal income taxes . You will receive a Form 1099-DIV , Form 1099 - INT, or other IRS forms, as required, reporting the taxability of all dividends. The funds will also advise you of the percentage of your dividends, if any, which should be included in the computation of the alternative minimum tax. Social Security recipients who receive income dividends from tax-free funds may have to pay taxes on a portion of their Social Security benefits.

Because the income dividends of the funds are expected to be derived from tax-exempt interest on municipal securities, any interest on money you borrow that is directly or indirectly used to purchase fund shares is not deductible. Further, entities or persons that are "substantial users" (or persons related to "substantial users") of facilities financed by industrial development bonds should consult their tax advisers before purchasing shares of these funds. The income from such bonds may not be tax-exempt for such substantial users.

<R>

Foreign Income Taxes

</R>

<R>

Income received by the funds from sources within various foreign countries may be subject to foreign income taxes withheld at the source. Under the Code, if more than 50% of the value of the funds` total assets at the close of the taxable year comprises securities issued by foreign corporations or governments, the funds may file an election to "pass through" to the funds` shareholders any foreign income taxes as paid by the funds. There can be no assurance that the funds will be able to do so. Pursuant to this election, shareholders will be required to: (1) include in gross income, even though not actually received, their pro-rata share of foreign income taxes paid by the funds; (2) treat their pro-rata share of foreign income taxes as paid by them; and (3) either deduct their pro-rata share of foreign income taxes in computing their taxable income, or use it as a foreign tax credit against U.S. income taxes subject to certain limitations (but not both). A deduction for foreign income taxes may only be claimed by a shareholder who itemizes deductions.

</R>

Foreign Currency Gains and Losses

Foreign currency gains and losses, including the portion of gain or loss on the sale of debt securities attributable to foreign exchange rate fluctuations, are taxable as ordinary income. If the net effect of these transactions is a gain, the ordinary income dividend paid by the funds will be increased. If the result is a loss, the ordinary income dividend paid by the funds will be decreased, or, to the extent such dividend has already been paid, it may be classified as a return of capital. Adjustments to reflect these gains and losses will be made at the end of the funds` taxable year.

Passive Foreign Investment Companies

<R>

The funds may purchase the securities of certain foreign investment funds or trusts, called "passive foreign investment companies" for U.S. tax purposes. S ometimes such funds or trusts are the only or primary way to invest in companies in certain countries. Capital gains on the sale of such holdings are considered ordinary income regardless of how long the funds held the investment. In addition, the funds may be subject to corporate income tax and an interest charge on certain dividends and capital gains earned from these investments , regardless of whether such income and gains are distributed to shareholders.

</R>

<R>

To avoid such tax and interest, the funds intend to treat these securities as sold on the last day of each of their fiscal years and to recognize any gains for tax purposes at that time; deductions for losses are allowable only to the extent of any gains resulting from these deemed sales in prior taxable years. Such gains and losses will be treated as ordinary income or losses. The funds will be required to distribute any resulting income, even though they have not sold the security and received cash to pay such distributions.

</R>

<R>

</R>

Investing in Mortgage Entities

Special tax rules may apply to the funds` investments in entities which invest in or finance mortgage debt. Such investments include residual interests in Real Estate Mortgage Investment Conduits and interests in a REIT which qualifies as a taxable mortgage pool under the Code or has a qualified REIT subsidiary that is a taxable mortgage pool under the Code. Although it is the practice of the funds not to make such investments , there is no guarantee that the funds will be able to sustain this practice or avoid an inadvertent investment.

Such investments result in the funds receiving excess inclusion income ( " EII " ) in which case a portion of its distributions will be characterized as EII and shareholders receiving such distributions, including shares held through nominee accounts, will be deemed to have received EII. This can result in the funds being required to pay tax on the portion allocated to disqualified organizations: certain cooperatives, agencies or instrumentalities of a government or international organization, and tax-exempt organizations that are not subject to tax on unrelated business taxable income. In addition, such amounts will be treated as unrelated business taxable income to tax-exempt organizations that are not disqualified organizations, and will be subject to a 30% withholding tax for shareholders who are not U.S. persons, notwithstanding any exemptions or rate reductions in any relevant tax treaties.

CAPITAL STOCK (MARYLAND CORPORATIONS)

All funds except Capital Appreciation, Equity Income, GNMA, and New America Growth Funds, and California Tax-Free Income Trust and State Tax-Free Income Trust

All of the funds, other than those listed immediately above, are organized as Maryland corporations ( "Corporations" ) or series thereof. The funds` Charters authorize the Boards to classify and reclassify any and all shares which are then unissued, including unissued shares of capital stock into any number of classes or series; each class or series consisting of such number of shares and having such designations, such powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations, and restrictions as shall be determined by the Boards subject to the 1940 Act and other applicable law. The shares of any such additional classes or series might therefore differ from the shares of the present class and series of capital stock and from each other as to preferences, conversions, or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to dividends, qualifications, or terms or conditions of redemption, subject to applicable law, and might thus be superior or inferior to the capital stock or to other classes or series in various characteristics. The Boards may increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series that the funds have authorized to issue without shareholder approval.

Except to the extent that the funds` Boards might provide that holders of shares of a particular class are entitled to vote as a class on specified matters presented for a vote of the holders of all shares entitled to vote on such matters, there would be no right of class vote unless and to the extent that such a right might be construed to exist under Maryland law. The directors have provided that as to any matter with respect to which a separate vote of any class is required by the 1940 Act, such requirement as to a separate vote by that class shall apply in lieu of any voting requirements established by the Maryland General Corporation Law. Otherwise, holders of each class of capital stock are not entitled to vote as a class on any matter. Accordingly, the preferences, rights, and other characteristics attaching to any class of shares might be altered or eliminated, or the class might be combined with another class or classes, by action approved by the vote of the holders of a majority of all the shares of all classes entitled to be voted on the proposal, without any additional right to vote as a class by the holders of the capital stock or of another affected class or classes.

Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share held (and fractional votes for fractional shares held) and will vote in the election of or removal of directors (to the extent hereinafter provided) and on other matters submitted to the vote of shareholders. There will normally be no meetings of shareholders for the purpose of electing directors unless and until such time as less than a majority of the directors holding office have been elected by shareholders, at which time the directors then in office will call a shareholders` meeting for the election of directors. Except as set forth above, the directors shall continue to hold office and may appoint successor directors. Voting rights are not cumulative, so that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting in the election of directors can, if they choose to do so, elect all the directors of the funds, in which event the holders of the remaining shares will be unable to elect any person as a director. As set forth in the By-Laws of

the Corporations, a special meeting of shareholders of the Corporations shall be called by the secretary of the Corporations on the written request of shareholders entitled to cast (a) in the case of a meeting for the purpose of removing a director, at least ten (10) percent and (b) in the case of a meeting for any other purpose, at least 25 percent, in each case of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting, provided that any such request shall state the purpose or purposes of the meeting and the matters proposed to be acted on. Shareholders requesting such a meeting must pay to the Corporations the reasonably estimated costs of preparing and mailing the notice of the meeting. The Corporations, however, will otherwise assist the shareholders seeking to hold the special meeting in communicating to the other shareholders of the Corporations to the extent required by Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act.

<R>

The series (and classes) set forth in the following table have been established by the Boards under the Articles of Incorporation of the indicated Corporations. Each series represents a separate pool of assets of the Corporations` shares and has different objectives and investment policies. Maryland law provides that the debts, liabilities, obligations, and expenses incurred with respect to a particular series or class are enforceable against the assets associated with that series or class only. The Articles of Incorporation also provide that the Boards may issue additional series of shares. Each share of each fund represents an equal proportionate share in that fund with each other share and is entitled to such dividends and distributions of income belonging to that fund as are declared by the directors. In the event of the liquidation of a fund, each share is entitled to a pro-rata share of the net assets of that fund. Classes represent separate shares in the funds but share the same portfolios as the indicated funds. Each fund is registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act as an open-end management investment company, commonly known as a "mutual fund."

Balanced Fund

On August 31, 1992, the T. Rowe Price Balanced Fund acquired substantially all of the assets of the Axe- Houghton Fund B, a series of Axe-Houghton Funds, Inc. As a result of this acquisition, the SEC requires that the historical performance information of the Balanced Fund be based on the performance of Fund B. Therefore, all performance information of the Balanced Fund prior to September 1, 1992, reflects the performance of Fund B and investment managers other than T. Rowe Price. Performance information after August 31, 1992, reflects the combined assets of the Balanced Fund and Fund B.

Media & Telecommunications Fund

On July 28, 1997, the fund converted its status from a closed-end fund to an open-end mutual fund. Prior to the conversion the fund was known as New Age Media Fund, Inc.

Small-Cap Stock Fund

Effective May 1, 1997, the fund`s name was changed from the T. Rowe Price OTC Fund to the T. Rowe Price Small-Cap Stock Fund.

Equity Index 500 Fund

Effective January 30, 1998, the fund`s name was changed from T. Rowe Price Equity Index Fund to the T. Rowe Price Equity Index 500 Fund.

ORGANIZATION OF THE FUNDS (MASSACHUSETTS BUSINESS TRUSTS)

Capital Appreciation, Equity Income, GNMA, and New America Growth Funds , and California Tax- Free Income Trust and State Tax-Free Income Trust

<R>

For tax and business reasons, these funds were organized as Massachusetts business trusts ( "Trusts" ) . Each fund is registered with the SEC under the 1940 Act as an open-end management investment company, commonly known as a "mutual fund."

</R>

The Declaration of Trust permits the Boards to issue an unlimited number of full and fractional shares of a single class. The Declaration of Trust also provides that the Boards may issue additional series or classes of shares. Each share represents an equal proportionate beneficial interest in the funds. In the event of the liquidation of the funds, each share is entitled to a pro-rata share of the net assets of the funds.

Shareholders are entitled to one vote for each full share held (and fractional votes for fractional shares held) and will vote in the election of or removal of trustees (to the extent hereinafter provided) and on other matters submitted to the vote of shareholders. There will normally be no meetings of shareholders for the purpose of electing trustees unless and until such time as less than a majority of the trustees holding office have been elected by shareholders, at which time the trustees then in office will call a shareholders` meeting for the election of trustees. Pursuant to Section 16(c) of the 1940 Act, holders of record of not less than two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the funds may remove a trustee by a vote cast in person or by proxy at a meeting called for that purpose. Except as set forth above, the trustees shall continue to hold office and may appoint successor trustees. Voting rights are not cumulative, so that the holders of more than 50% of the shares voting in the election of trustees can, if they choose to do so, elect all the trustees of the Trusts, in which event the holders of the remaining shares will be unable to elect any person as a trustee. No amendments may be made to the Declaration of Trust without the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Trusts.

Shares have no preemptive or conversion rights; the right of redemption and the privilege of exchange are described in the prospectus. Shares are fully paid and nonassessable, except as set forth below. The Trusts may be terminated (i) upon the sale of their assets to another open-end management investment company, if approved by the vote of the holders of two-thirds of the outstanding shares of the Trusts, or (ii) upon liquidation and distribution of the assets of the Trusts, if approved by the vote of the holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of the Trusts. If not so terminated, the Trusts will continue indefinitely.

Under Massachusetts law, shareholders could, under certain circumstances, be held personally liable for the obligations of the funds. However, the Declaration of Trust disclaims shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the funds and requires that notice of such disclaimer be given in each agreement, obligation, or instrument entered into or executed by the funds or trustees. The Declaration of Trust provides for indemnification from fund property for all losses and expenses of any shareholder held personally liable for the obligations of the funds. Thus, the risk of a shareholder incurring financial loss on account of shareholder liability is limited to circumstances in which the funds themselves would be unable to meet their obligations, a possibility which T. Rowe Price believes is remote. Upon payment of any liability incurred by the funds, the shareholders of the funds paying such liability will be entitled to reimbursement from the general assets of the funds. The trustees intend to conduct the operations of the funds in such a way as to avoid, as far as possible, ultimate liability of the shareholders for liabilities of such funds.

<R>

The series and classes set forth in the following table have been established by the Boards under the Declaration of Trust of the indicated trusts.

PROXY VOTING — Process and POLICIES

<R>

T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. and T. Rowe Price International, Inc. recognize and adhere to the principle that one of the privileges of owning stock in a company is the right to vote on issues submitted to shareholder vote — such as election of directors and important matters affecting a company`s structure and operations. As an investment advis e r with a fiduciary responsibility to its clients, T. Rowe Price analyzes the proxy statements of issuers whose stock is owned by the investment companies that it sponsors and serves as investment advis e r. T. Rowe Price also is involved in the proxy process on behalf of its institutional and private counsel clients who have requested such service. For those private counsel clients who have not delegated their voting responsibility but who request advice, T. Rowe Price makes recommendations regarding proxy voting. T. Ro we Price reserves the right to decline to vote proxies in accordance with client-specific voting guidelines.

</R>

<R>

Proxy Administration

</R>

<R>

The T. Rowe Price Proxy Committee develops our firm`s positions on all major corporate and social responsibility issues, creates guidelines, and oversees the voting process. The Proxy Committee, composed of portfolio managers, investment operations managers, and internal legal counsel, analyzes proxy policies based on whether they would adversely affect shareholders` interests and make a company less attractive to own. In evaluating proxy policies each year, the Proxy Committee relies upon our own fundamental research, independent proxy research provided by third parties such as RiskMetrics Group ("RMG") (formerly known as Institutional Shareholder Services ) and Glass Lewis, and information presented by company managements and shareholder groups.

</R>

<R>

Once the Proxy Committee establishes its recommendations, they are distributed to the firm`s portfolio managers as voting guidelines. Ultimately, the portfolio manager decides how to vote on the proxy proposals of companies in his or her portfolio. Because portfolio managers may have differences of opinion on portfolio companies and their proxies, or their portfolios may have different investment objectives, these factors, among others, may lead to different votes between portfolios on the same proxies. When portfolio managers cast votes that are counter to the Proxy Committee`s guidelines, they are required to document their reasons in writing to the Proxy Committee. Annually, the Proxy Committee reviews T. Rowe Price`s proxy voting process, policies, and voting records.

</R>

<R>

T. Rowe Price has retained RMG , an expert in the proxy voting and corporate governance area, to provide proxy advisory and voting services. These services include in-depth research, analysis, and voting recommendations as well as vote execution, reporting, auditing and consulting assistance for the handling of proxy voting responsibility and corporate governance-related efforts. While the Proxy Committee relies upon RMG research

</R>

<R>

in establishing T. Rowe Price`s voting guidelines — many of which are consistent with RMG positions — T. Rowe Price deviate s from RMG recommendations on some general policy issues and a number of specific proxy proposals.

</R>

<R>

Fiduciary Considerations

</R>

<R>

T. Rowe Price`s decisions with respect to proxy issues are made in light of the anticipated impact of the issue on the desirability of investing in the portfolio company. Proxies are voted solely in the interests of the client, Price Fund shareholders or, where employee benefit plan assets are involved, in the interests of plan participants and beneficiaries. Practicalities and costs involved with international investing may make it impossible at times, and at other times disadvantageous, to vote proxies in every instance. For example, we might refrain from voting if we or our agents are required to appear in person at a shareholder meeting or if the exercise of voting rights results in the imposition of trading or other ownership restrictions.

</R>

<R>

Consideration Given Management Recommendations

</R>

<R>

When determining whether to invest in a particular company, one of the primary factors T. Rowe Price considers is the quality and depth of its management. As a result, T. Rowe Price believes that recommendations of management on most issues should be given weight in determining how proxy issues should be voted.

</R>

<R>

T. Rowe Price Voting Policies

</R>

<R>

Specific voting guidelines have been established by the Proxy Committee for recurring issues that appear on proxies . The following is a summary of the more significant T. Rowe Price policies:

</R>

<R>

Election of Directors

</R>

<R>

T. Rowe Price generally supports slates with a majority of independent directors. We withhold votes for outside directors on key committees that do not meet certain criteria relating to their independence or their inability to dedicate sufficient time to their board duties due to their commitment to other boards. We also withhold votes for inside directors serving on key board committees and for directors who miss more than one-fourth of the scheduled board meetings. We may also withhold votes from inside directors for fail ing to establish a formal nominating committee. T. Rowe Price supports shareholder proposals calling for a majority vote threshold for the election of directors as well as those that seek to dismantle a staggered board .

</R>

<R>

Executive Compensation

</R>

<R>

Our goal is to assure that a company`s equity-based compensation plan is aligned with shareholders` long-term interests. While we evaluate plans on a case-by-case basis, T. Rowe Price generally opposes compensation packages that provide what we view as excessive awards to a few senior executives or that contain excessively dilutive stock option plans. We base our review on criteria such as the costs associated with the plan, plan features, burn rates that are excessive in relation to the company ` s peers, dilution to shareholders and comparability to plans in the company`s peer group. We generally oppose plans that give a company the ability to reprice options or to grant options at below market prices. For companies with particularly egregious pay practices we may withhold votes from compensation committee members .

</R>

<R>

Mergers and Acquisitions

</R>

<R>

T. Rowe Price considers takeover offers, mergers, and other extraordinary corporate transactions on a case-by- case basis to determine if they are beneficial to shareholders` current and future earnings stream and to ensure that our Price Funds and clients are receiving fair compensation in exchange for their investment.

</R>

<R>

Anti-takeover, Capital Structure , and Corporate Governance Issues

</R>

<R>

T. Rowe Price generally opposes anti-takeover measures and other proposals designed to limit the ability of shareholders to act on possible transactions. Such anti-takeover mechanisms include classified boards, supermajority voting requirements, dual share classes and poison pills. We also oppose proposals that give management a "blank check" to create new classes of stock with disparate rights and privileges. When voting on capital structure proposals, we will consider the dilutive impact to shareholders and the effect on shareholder rights. We generally support shareholder proposals that call for the separation of the Chairman and CEO positions unless there are sufficient governance safeguards already in place. With respect to proposals for the approval of a company`s auditor, we typically oppose auditors who have a significant non-audit relationship with the company.

</R>

<R>

</R>

<R>

Social and Corporate Responsibility Issues

</R>

<R>

T. Rowe Price generally votes with a company`s management on social, environmental , and corporate responsibility issues unless they have substantial investment implications for the company`s business and operations that have not been adequately addressed by management. T. Rowe Price may support well-targeted shareholder proposals that call for enhanced disclosure by companies on environmental and public policy issues that are particularly relevant to their businesses.

</R>

<R>

Monitoring and Resolving Conflicts of Interest

</R>

<R>

The Proxy Committee is also responsible for monitoring and resolving possible material conflicts between the interests of T. Rowe Price and those of its clients with respect to proxy voting. We have adopted safeguards to ensure that our proxy voting is not influenced by interests other than those of our fund shareholders . While membership on the Proxy Committee is diverse, it does not include individuals whose primary duties relate to client relationship management, marketing , or sales. Since our voting guidelines are pre determined by the Proxy Committee using recommendations from RMG , an independent third party, application of the T. Rowe Price guidelines to vote clients` proxies should in most instances adequately address any possible conflicts of interest. However, for proxy votes inconsistent with T. Rowe Price guidelines, the Proxy Committee reviews all such proxy votes in order to determine whether the portfolio manager`s voting rationale appears reasonable. The Proxy Committee also assesses whether any business or other relationships between T. Rowe Price and a portfolio company could have influenced an inconsistent vote on that company`s proxy. Issues raising possible conflicts of interest are referred to designated members of the Proxy Committee for immediate resolution prior to the time T. Rowe Price casts its vote. With respect to personal conflicts of interest, T. Rowe Price`s Code of Ethics requires all employees to avoid placing themselves in a "compromising position" where their interests may conflict with those of our clients and restricts their ability to engage in certain outside business activities. Portfolio managers or Proxy Committee members with a personal conflict of interest regarding a particular proxy vote must recuse themselves and not participate in the voting decisions with respect to that proxy.

</R>

<R>

Index, Retirement , and Spectrum Funds

</R>

<R>

Voting of T. Rowe Price Group, Inc. , common stock (sym: TROW) by certain T. Rowe Price index funds will be done in all instances in accordance with T. Rowe Price policy, and votes inconsistent with policy will not be permitted. The Retirement and Spectrum F unds own shares in underlying T. Rowe Price funds. If an underlying T. Rowe Price fund has a shareholder meeting, the Retirement and Spectrum Funds normally would vote their shares in the underlying fund in the same proportion as the votes of the other shareholders of the underlying fund. This is known as "echo voting" and is designed to avoid any potential for a conflict of interest. This same process would be followed with respect to any T. Rowe Price funds owning shares in other T. Rowe Price funds.

</R>

T. Rowe Price Proxy Vote Disclosure

T. Rowe Price funds make broad disclosure of their proxy votes on troweprice.com and on the SEC`s Internet site at http://www.sec.gov. All funds, regardless of their fiscal years, must file with the SEC by August 31, their proxy voting records for the most recent 12-month period ended June 30.

FEDERAL REGISTRATION OF SHARES

The funds` shares (except for TRP Government Reserve Investment and TRP Reserve Investment Funds) are registered for sale under the 1933 Act. Registration of the funds` shares are not required under any state law, but the funds are required to make certain filings with and pay fees to the states in order to sell their shares in the states.

LEGAL COUNSEL

Willkie Farr & Gallagher LLP, whose address is 787 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10019, is legal counsel to the funds.

RATINGS OF COMMERCIAL PAPER

Moody`s Investors Service, Inc. P-1 superior capacity for repayment. P-2 strong capacity for repayment. P-3 acceptable capacity for repayment of short-term promissory obligations.

Standard & Poor`s Corporation A-1 highest category, degree of safety regarding timely payment is strong. Those issues determined to possess extremely strong safety characteristics are denoted with a plus sign (+) designation. A-2 satisfactory capacity to pay principal and interest. A-3 adequate capacity for timely payment, but are more vulnerable to adverse effects of changes in circumstances than higher-rated issues. B and C speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

Fitch Ratings F-1+ exceptionally strong credit quality, strongest degree of assurance for timely payment. F-1 very strong credit quality. F-2 good credit quality, having a satisfactory degree of assurance for timely payment. F-3 fair credit quality, assurance for timely payment is adequate, but adverse changes could cause the securities to be rated below investment grade.

Moody`s Investors Service, Inc. The rating of Prime-1 is the highest commercial paper rating assigned by Moody`s. Among the factors considered by Moody`s in assigning ratings are the following: valuation of the management of the issuer; economic evaluation of the issuer`s industry or industries and an appraisal of speculative-type risks which may be inherent in certain areas; evaluation of the issuer`s products in relation to competition and customer acceptance; liquidity; amount and quality of long-term debt; trend of earnings over a period of 10 years; financial strength of the parent company and the relationships which exist with the issuer; and recognition by the management of obligations which may be present or may arise as a result of public interest questions and preparations to meet such obligations. These factors are all considered in determining whether the commercial paper is rated P1, P2, or P3.

Standard & Poor`s Corporation Commercial paper rated A (highest quality) by S&P has the following characteristics: liquidity ratios are adequate to meet cash requirements; long-term senior debt is rated "A" or better, although in some cases "BBB" credits may be allowed. The issuer has access to at least two additional channels of borrowing. Basic earnings and cash flow have an upward trend with allowance made for unusual circumstances. Typically, the issuer`s industry is well established and the issuer has a strong position within the industry. The reliability and quality of management are unquestioned. The relative strength or weakness of the above factors determines whether the issuer`s commercial paper is rated A1, A2, or A3.

Fitch Ratings Fitch 1 — Highest grade Commercial paper assigned this rating is regarded as having the strongest degree of assurance for timely payment. Fitch 2 — Very good grade Issues assigned this rating reflect an assurance of timely payment only slightly less in degree than the strongest issues.

RATINGS OF CORPORATE AND MUNICIPAL DEBT SECURITIES

Moody`s Investors Service, Inc.

Aaa — Bonds rated Aaa are judged to be of the best quality. They carry the smallest degree of investment risk and are generally referred to as "gilt edge."

Aa — Bonds rated Aa are judged to be of high quality by all standards. Together with the Aaa group, they comprise what are generally known as high-grade bonds.

A — Bonds rated A possess many favorable investment attributes and are to be considered as upper medium-grade obligations.

Baa — Bonds rated Baa are considered as medium-grade obligations, i.e., they are neither highly protected nor poorly secured. Interest payments and principal security appear adequate for the present, but certain protective elements may be lacking or may be characteristically unreliable over any great length of time. Such bonds lack outstanding investment characteristics and in fact have speculative characteristics as well.

Ba — Bonds rated Ba are judged to have speculative elements: their futures cannot be considered as well assured. Often the protection of interest and principal payments may be very moderate and thereby not well safeguarded during both good and bad times over the future. Uncertainty of position characterizes bonds in this class.

<R>

PAGE 1

</R>

B — Bonds rated B generally lack the characteristics of a desirable investment. Assurance of interest and principal payments or of maintenance of other terms of the contract over any long period of time may be small.

Caa — Bonds rated Caa are of poor standing. Such issues may be in default, or there may be present elements of danger with respect to repayment of principal or payment of interest.

Ca — Bonds rated Ca represent obligations which are speculative in a high degree. Such issues are often in default or have other marked shortcomings.

C — Bonds rated C represent the lowest rated and have extremely poor prospects of attaining investment standing.

Standard & Poor`s Corporation

AAA — This is the highest rating assigned by Standard & Poor`s to a debt obligation and indicates an extremely strong capacity to pay principal and interest.

AA — Bonds rated AA also qualify as high-quality debt obligations. Capacity to pay principal and interest is very strong.

A — Bonds rated A have a strong capacity to pay principal and interest, although they are somewhat more susceptible to the adverse effects of changes in circumstances and economic conditions.

BBB — Bonds rated BBB are regarded as having an adequate capacity to pay principal and interest. Whereas they normally exhibit adequate protection parameters, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakened capacity to pay principal and interest for bonds in this category than for bonds in the A category.

BB, B, CCC, CC, C — Bonds rated BB, B, CCC, CC, and C are regarded on balance as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer`s capacity to pay interest and repay principal. BB indicates the lowest degree of speculation and C the highest degree of speculation. While such bonds will likely have some quality and protective characteristics, these are outweighed by large uncertainties or major risk exposures to adverse conditions.

D — In default.

Fitch Ratings

AAA — High grade, broadly marketable, suitable for investment by trustees and fiduciary institutions, and liable to slight market fluctuation other than through changes in the money rate. The prime feature of an AAA bond is the showing of earnings several times or many times interest requirements for such stability of applicable interest that safety is beyond reasonable question whenever changes occur in conditions. Other features may enter, such as wide margin of protection through collateral, security, or direct lien on specific property. Sinking funds or voluntary reduction of debt by call or purchase are often factors, while guarantee or assumption by parties other than the original debtor may influence the rating.

AA — Of safety virtually beyond question and readily salable. Their merits are not greatly unlike those of AAA class, but a bond so rated may be junior, though of strong lien, or the margin of safety is less strikingly broad. The issue may be the obligation of a small company, strongly secured, but influenced as to rating by the lesser financial power of the enterprise and more local type of market.

A — Bonds rated A are considered to be investment grade and of high credit quality. The obligor`s ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be strong but may be more vulnerable to adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances than bonds with higher ratings.

BBB — Bonds rated BBB are considered to be investment grade and of satisfactory credit quality. The obligor`s ability to pay interest and repay principal is considered to be adequate. Adverse changes in economic conditions and circumstances, however, are more likely to have adverse impact on these bonds and therefore impair timely payment. The likelihood that the ratings of these bonds will fall below investment grade is higher than for bonds with higher ratings.

BB, B, CCC, CC, and C — Bonds rated BB, B, CCC, CC, and C are regarded on balance as predominantly speculative with respect to the issuer`s capacity to pay interest and repay principal in accordance with the terms of the obligation for bond issues not in default. BB indicates the lowest degree of speculation and C the highest degree

of speculation. The rating takes into consideration special features of the issue, its relationship to other obligations of the issuer, and the current and prospective financial condition and operating performance of the issuer.

RATINGS OF MUNICIPAL NOTES AND VARIABLE RATE SECURITIES

Moody`s Investors Service, Inc. VMIG1/MIG-1 the best quality. VMIG2/MIG-2 high quality, with margins of protection ample, though not so large as in the preceding group. VMIG3/MIG-3 favorable quality, with all security elements accounted for, but lacking the undeniable strength of the preceding grades. Market access for refinancing, in particular, is likely to be less well established. SG adequate quality, but there is specific risk.

Standard & Poor`s Corporation SP-1 very strong or strong capacity to pay principal and interest. Those issues determined to possess overwhelming safety characteristics will be given a plus (+) designation. SP-2 satisfactory capacity to pay interest and principal. SP-3 speculative capacity to pay principal and interest.

Redemptions in Kind

The funds have filed a notice of election under Rule 18f-1 of the 1940 Act. This permits the funds to effect redemptions in kind and in cash as set forth in the funds` prospectuses.

In the unlikely event a shareholder were to receive an in-kind redemption of portfolio securities of the funds, it would be the responsibility of the shareholder to dispose of the securities. The shareholder would be at risk that the value of the securities would decline prior to their sale, that it would be difficult to sell the securities, and that brokerage fees could be incurred.

Issuance of Fund Shares for Securities

Transactions involving issuance of fund shares for securities or assets other than cash will be limited to (1) bona fide reorganizations; (2) statutory mergers; or (3) other acquisitions of portfolio securities that: (a) meet the investment objectives and policies of the funds; (b) are acquired for investment and not for resale except in accordance with applicable law; (c) have a value that is readily ascertainable via listing on or trading in a recognized United States or international exchange or market; and (d) are not illiquid.

</R>

Item 2 4 . Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control With Registrant

None

Item 2 5 . Indemnification

The Registrant maintains comprehensive Errors and Omissions and Officers and Directors insurance policies written by ICI Mutual. These policies provide coverage for T. Rowe Price Associates, Inc. ("Manager"), and its subsidiaries and affiliates as listed in Item 26 of this Registration Statement (with the exception of the T. Rowe Price Associates Foundation, Inc.), and all other investment companies in the T. Rowe Price family of mutual funds. In addition to the corporate insureds, the policies also cover the officers, directors, and employees of the Manager, its subsidiaries, and

<R>

</R>

affiliates. The premium is allocated among the named corporate insureds in accordance with the provisions of Rule 17d 1(d)(7) under the Investment Company Act of 1940.

General. The Charter of the Corporation provides that to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland or federal law, no director or officer of the Corporation shall be personally liable to the Corporation or the holders of Shares for money damages and each director and officer shall be indemnified by the Corporation; provided, however, that nothing therein shall be deemed to protect any director or officer of the Corporation against any liability to the Corporation of the holders of Shares to which such director or officer would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office.

Article X, Section 10.01 of the Registrant`s By-Laws provides as follows:

Section 10.01. Indemnification and Payment of Expenses in Advance : The Corporation shall indemnify any individual ("Indemnitee") who is a present or former director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or who is or has been serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, who, by reason of his position was, is, or is threatened to be made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal, administrative, or investigative (hereinafter collectively referred to as a "Proceeding") against any judgments, penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses (including attorneys` fees) incurred by such Indemnitee in connection with any Proceeding, to the fullest extent that such indemnification may be lawful under Maryland law. The Corporation shall pay any reasonable expenses so incurred by such Indemnitee in defending a Proceeding in advance of the final disposition thereof to the fullest extent that such advance payment may be lawful under Maryland law. Subject to any applicable limitations and requirements set forth in the Corporation`s Articles of Incorporation and in these By-Laws, any payment of indemnification or advance of expenses shall be made in accordance with the procedures set forth in Maryland law.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall protect or purport to protect any Indemnitee against any liability to which he would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his office ("Disabling Conduct").

Anything in this Article X to the contrary notwithstanding, no indemnification shall be made by the Corporation to any Indemnitee unless:

(a) there is a final decision on the merits by a court or other body before whom the Proceeding was brought that the Indemnitee was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct; or

(b) in the absence of such a decision, there is a reasonable determination, based upon a review of the facts, that the Indemnitee was not liable by reason of Disabling Conduct, which determination shall be made by:

(i) the vote of a majority of a quorum of directors who are neither "interested persons" of the Corporation as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act, nor parties to the Proceeding; or

(ii) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

Anything in this Article X to the contrary notwithstanding, any advance of expenses by the Corporation to any Indemnitee shall be made only upon the undertaking by such Indemnitee to repay the advance unless it is ultimately determined that such Indemnitee is entitled to indemnification as above provided, and only if one of the following conditions is met:

(a) the Indemnitee provides a security for his undertaking; or

(b) the Corporation shall be insured against losses arising by reason of any lawful advances; or

(c) there is a determination, based on a review of readily available facts, that there is reason to believe that the Indemnitee will ultimately be found entitled to indemnification, which determination shall be made by:

(i) a majority of a quorum of directors who are neither "interested persons" of the Corporation as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company Act, nor parties to the Proceeding; or

(ii) an independent legal counsel in a written opinion.

Section 10.02. Insurance of Officers, Directors, Employees, and Agents. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable Maryland law and by Section 17(h) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as from time to time

amended, the Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or agent of the Corporation, or who is or was serving at the request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee, or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture, trust, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted against him and incurred by him in or arising out of his position, whether or not the Corporation would have the power to indemnify him against such liability.

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors, officers, and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer, or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit, or proceeding) is asserted by such director, officer, or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Custodian Agreement

This Agreement is made as of January 28, 1998 by and between each entity set forth on Appendix A hereto (as such Appendix A may be amended from time to time) which executes a copy of this Agreement (each referred to herein as the "Fund" ), and State Street Bank and Trust Company, a Massachusetts trust company with its principal place of business at 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts 02110 (the "Custodian" ).

Witnesseth:

Whereas, each Fund desires to retain the Custodian to act as custodian of certain of the assets of the Fund, and the Custodian is willing to provide such to each Fund, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and

Whereas, except as otherwise set forth herein, this Agreement is intended to supersede that certain custodian contract among the parties hereto dated September 28, 1987, as amended; and

Whereas, the Funds have retained Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. to act as the Funds` custodian with respect to the assets of each such Fund to be held outside of the United States of America (except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement) pursuant to a written custodian agreement (the "Foreign Custodian Agreement" ),

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, each of the parties hereto agrees as follows:

Section 1. Employment of Custodian and Property to be Held by It.

Each Fund hereby employs the Custodian as the custodian of certain of its assets, including those securities it desires to be held within the United States of America ( "domestic securities" ) and those securities it desires to be held outside the United States of America (the "United States" ) which are (i) not held on the Funds` behalf by Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. pursuant to the Foreign Custodian Agreement and (ii) described with greater particularity in Section 3 hereof (such securities shall be referred to herein as "foreign securities" ). Each Fund agrees to deliver to the Custodian all domestic securities, foreign securities and cash owned by it from time to time, and all payments of income, payments of principal or capital distributions received by it with respect to securities held by it hereunder, and the cash consideration received

by it for such new or treasury shares of capital stock of each Fund as may be issued or sold from time to time ( "Shares" ). The Custodian shall not be responsible for any property of any Fund held or received by such Fund (i) not delivered to the Custodian, or (ii) held in the custody of Chase Manhattan Bank N.A .

The Custodian is authorized to employ one or more sub- custodians located within the United States, provided that the Custodian shall have obtained the written acknowledgment of the Fund with respect to such employment. The Custodian is authorized to employ sub-custodians located outside the United States as noted on Schedule A attached hereto (as such Schedule A may be amended from time to time). The Custodian shall have no more or less responsibility or liability to any Fund on account of any actions or omissions of any sub-custodian so employed than any such sub- custodian has to the Custodian and shall not release any sub- custodian from any responsibility or liability unless so agreed in writing by the Custodian and the applicable Fund. With the exception of State Street Bank and Trust Company (London branch), the Custodian shall not be liable for losses arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership of any sub-custodian located outside the United States.

Section 2. Duties of the Custodian with Respect to Property of the Funds Held By the Custodian in the United States.

Section 2.1 Holding Securities . The Custodian shall hold and physically segregate for the account of each Fund all non-cash property to be held by it in the United States, including all domestic securities owned by the Fund other than (a) securities which are maintained pursuant to Section 2.9 in a clearing agency which acts as a securities depository or in a book-entry system authorized by the United States Department of the Treasury and certain federal agencies (each, a "U.S. Securities System" ) and (b) commercial paper of an issuer for which the Custodian acts as issuing and paying agent ( "Direct Paper" ) which is deposited and/or maintained in the Direct Paper system of the Custodian (the "Direct Paper System" ) pursuant to Section 2.10.

Section 2.2 Delivery of Investments . The Custodian shall release and deliver domestic investments owned by a Fund held by the Custodian or in a U.S. Securities System account of the Custodian or in the Custodian`s Direct Paper System account ( "Direct Paper System Account" ) only upon receipt of Proper Instructions, which may be continuing instructions when agreed to by the parties, and only in the following cases:

1) Upon sale of such investments for the account of the Fund and receipt of payment therefor;

7) Upon the sale of such investments for the account of the Fund, to the broker or its clearing agent, against a receipt, for examination in accordance with usual "street delivery" custom; provided that in any such case the Custodian shall have no responsibility or liability for any loss arising from the delivery of such investments prior to receiving payment for such investments except as may arise from the Custodian`s own negligence or willful misconduct;

8) For exchange or conversion pursuant to any plan of merger, consolidation, recapitalization, reorganization or readjustment of the investments of

the issuer of such investments, or pursuant to provisions for conversion contained in such investments, or pursuant to any deposit agreement; provided that, in any such case, the new investments and cash, if any, are to be delivered to the Custodian;

9) In the case of warrants, rights or similar investments, the surrender thereof in the exercise of such warrants, rights or similar investments or the surrender of interim receipts or temporary investments for definitive investments; provided that, in any such case, the new investments and cash, if any, are to be delivered to the Custodian or against a receipt;

10) For delivery in connection with any loans of investments made on behalf of the Fund, but only against receipt of adequate collateral as agreed upon from time to time by the Fund or its duly-appointed agent (which may be in the form of cash or obligations issued by the United States government, its agencies or instrumentalities, or such other property as the Fund may agree), except that in connection with any loans for which collateral is to be credited to the Custodian`s account in the book-entry system authorized by the U.S. Department of the Treasury, the Custodian will not be held liable or responsible for the delivery of investments owned by the Fund prior to the receipt of such collateral in the absence of the Custodian`s negligence or willful misconduct;

15) For any other purpose, but only upon receipt of Proper Instructions specifying (a) the investments to be delivered, (b) setting forth the purpose for which such delivery is to be made, and (c) naming the person or persons to whom delivery of such investments shall be made.

Section 2.3 Registration of Investments . Domestic investments held by the Custodian (other than bearer securities) shall be registered in the name of the Fund or in the name of any nominee of the Fund or of any nominee of the Custodian which nominee shall be assigned exclusively to the Fund, unless the Fund has authorized in writing the appointment of a nominee to be used in common with other registered investment companies having the same investment adviser as the Fund, or in the name or nominee name of any agent appointed pursuant to Section 2.8 or in the name or nominee name of any sub-custodian appointed pursuant to Section 1. All securities accepted by the Custodian on behalf of the Fund under the terms of this Agreement shall be in good deliverable form. If, however, the Fund directs the Custodian to maintain securities in "street name", the Custodian shall utilize its best efforts only to timely collect

income due the Fund on such securities and to notify the Fund of relevant corporate actions including, without limitation, pendency of calls, maturities, tender or exchange offers.

Section 2.4 Bank Accounts . The Custodian shall open and maintain a separate bank account or accounts in the United States in the name of the Fund, subject only to draft or order by the Custodian acting pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, and shall hold in such account or accounts, subject to the provisions hereof, all cash received by it from or for the account of the Fund, other than cash maintained by the Fund in a bank account established and used in accordance with Rule 17f-3 under the 1940 Act. Monies held by the Custodian for the Fund may be deposited by the Custodian to its credit as custodian in the banking department of the Custodian or in such other banks or trust companies as it may in its discretion deem necessary or desirable in the performance of its duties hereunder; provided, however, that every such bank or trust company shall be qualified to act as a custodian under the 1940 Act, and that each such bank or trust company and the funds to be deposited with each such bank or trust company shall be approved by vote of a majority of the board of directors or the board of trustees of the applicable Fund (as appropriate and in each case, the "Board" ). Such funds shall be deposited by the Custodian in its capacity as custodian and shall be withdrawable by the Custodian only in that capacity.

Section 2.5 Collection of Income . Subject to the provisions of Section 2.3, the Custodian shall collect on a timely basis all income and other payments with respect to United States registered investments held hereunder to which the Fund shall be entitled either by law or pursuant to custom in the investments business, and shall collect on a timely basis all income and other payments with respect to United States bearer investments if, on the date of payment by the issuer, such investments are held by the Custodian or its agent thereof and shall credit such income, as collected, to the Fund`s custodian account. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Custodian shall detach and present for payment all coupons and other income items requiring presentation as and when they become due, collect interest when due on investments held hereunder, and receive and collect all stock dividends, rights and other items of like nature as and when they become due and payable. With respect to income due the Fund on United States investments of the Fund loaned (pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2 (10)) in accordance with a separate agreement between the Fund and the Custodian in its capacity as lending agent, collection thereof shall be in accordance with the terms of such agreement. Except as

otherwise set forth in the immediately preceding sentence, income due the Fund on United States investments of the Fund loaned pursuant to the provisions of Section 2.2 (10) shall be the responsibility of the Fund; the Custodian will have no duty or responsibility in connection therewith other than to provide the Fund with such information or data as may be necessary to assist the Fund in arranging for the timely delivery to the Custodian of the income to which the Fund is properly entitled.

Section 2.6 Payment of Fund Monies . Upon receipt of Proper Instructions, which may be continuing instructions when agreed to by the parties, the Custodian shall, from monies of the Fund held by the Custodian, pay out such monies in the following cases only:

1) Upon the purchase of domestic investments, options, futures contracts or options on futures contracts for the account of the Fund but only (a) against the delivery of such investments, or evidence of title to such options, futures contracts or options on futures contracts, to the Custodian (or any bank, banking firm or trust company doing business in the United States or abroad which is qualified under the 1940 Act to act as a custodian and has been designated by the Custodian as its agent for this purpose in accordance with Section 2.8) registered in the name of the Fund or in the name of a nominee of the Custodian referred to in Section 2.3 hereof or in proper form for transfer; (b) in the case of a purchase effected through a U.S. Securities System, in accordance with the conditions set forth in Section 2.9 hereof; (c) in the case of a purchase involving the Direct Paper System, in accordance with the conditions set forth in Section 2.10 hereof; or (d) for transfer to a time deposit account of the Fund in any bank, whether domestic or foreign, such transfer may be effected prior to receipt of a confirmation from a broker and/or the applicable bank pursuant to Proper Instructions;

2) In connection with conversion, exchange or surrender of investments owned by the Fund as set forth in Section 2.2 hereof;

3) For the redemption or repurchase of Shares as set forth in Section 4 hereof;

4) For the payment of any expense or liability incurred by the Fund, including but not limited to the following payments for the account of the Fund: interest, taxes, management fees, accounting fees, transfer agent fees, legal fees, and operating expenses of the Fund (whether or not such expenses are to be in whole or part capitalized or treated as deferred expenses);

5) For the payment of any dividends declared by the Board;

6) For payment of the amount of dividends received in respect of investments sold short;

7) For repayment of a loan upon redelivery of pledged securities and upon surrender of the note(s), if any, evidencing the loan; or

In connection with any repurchase agreement entered into by the Fund with respect to which the collateral is not held by the Custodian, the Custodian shall (a) provide the Fund with such notification as it may receive with respect to such collateral, and (b), by book-entry or otherwise, identify as belonging to the Fund securities as shown in the Custodian`s account on the books of the entity appointed by the Fund to hold such collateral.

9) For any other purpose, but only upon receipt of Proper Instructions specifying (a) the amount of such payment, (b) setting forth the purpose for which such payment is to be made, and (c) naming the person or persons to whom such payment is to be made.

Section 2.8 Appointment of Agents . The Custodian may at any time or times in its discretion appoint (and may at any time remove) any other bank or trust company, which is itself qualified under the 1940 Act to act as a custodian, as its agent to carry out such of the provisions of this Section 2 as the Custodian may from time to time direct; provided, however, that the appointment of any such agent shall not relieve the Custodian of its responsibilities or liabilities hereunder.

At the election of the Fund, the Fund shall be entitled to be subrogated to the rights of the Custodian with respect to any claim against the U.S. Securities System or any other person which the Custodian may have as a consequence of any such loss, expense or damage if and to the extent that the Fund has not been made whole for any such loss, expense or damage.

as described in the Prospectus and shall advise the Fund and the Transfer Agent daily of the total amounts of such net income, and/ or (ii) advise the Transfer Agent periodically of the division of such net income among its various components. The calculations of the net asset value per share and the daily income of the Fund shall be made at the time or times described from time to time in the Prospectus.

Section 6. Proper Instructions.

"Proper Instructions," as such term is used throughout this Agreement, means either (i) a writing, including a facsimile transmission, signed by one or more persons as set forth on, and in accordance with, an "Authorized Persons List," as such term is defined herein (each such instruction a "Written Proper Instruction"), (ii) a "Client Originated Electronic Financial Instruction," as such term is defined in the Data Access Services Addendum hereto, given in accordance with the terms of such Addendum, or (iii) instructions received by the Custodian from a third party in accordance with any three-party agreement which requires a segregated asset account in accordance with Section 2.11.

Each Written Proper Instruction shall set forth a brief description of the type of transaction involved (choosing from among the types of transactions set forth on the Authorized Persons List), including a specific statement of the purpose for which such action is requested, and any modification to a Written Proper Instruction must itself be a Written Proper Instruction and subject to all the provisions herein relating to Written Proper Instructions. The Fund will provide the Custodian with an "Authorized Persons List," which list shall set forth (a) the names of the individuals (each an "Authorized Person") who are authorized by the Board to give Written Proper Instructions with respect to the transactions described therein, and (b) the number of Authorized Persons whose signature or approval, as the case may be, is necessary for the Custodian to be able to act in accordance with such Written Proper Instructions with respect to a particular type of transaction. The Custodian may accept oral instructions or instructions delivered via electronic mail as Proper Instructions if the Custodian reasonably believes such instructions to have been given by an Authorized Person or Persons (as appropriate to the type of transaction); provided, however, that in no event will instructions delivered orally or via electronic mail be considered Proper Instructions with respect to transactions involving the movement of cash, securities or other assets of a Fund. The Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon instructions given in accordance with an

Authorized Persons List until it actually receives written notice from the Board of the applicable Fund to the contrary.

Section 7. Evidence of Authority.

Subject to Section 9 hereof, the Custodian shall be protected in acting upon any instructions, notice, request, consent, certificate or other instrument or paper reasonably and in good faith believed by it to be genuine and to have been properly executed by or on behalf of the Fund. The Custodian may receive and accept a copy of a vote of the Board, certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the applicable Fund, as conclusive evidence (a) of the authority of any person to act in accordance with such vote or (b) of any determination or of any action by the Board described in such vote, and such vote may be considered as in full force and effect until receipt by the Custodian of written notice to the contrary.

Section 8. Actions Permitted without Express Authority.

The Custodian may in its discretion and without express authority from the Fund:

1) make payments to itself or others for minor expenses of handling investments or other similar items relating to its duties under this Agreement, provided that all such payments shall be accounted for to the Fund;

2) surrender investments in temporary form for investments in definitive form;

3) endorse for collection, in the name of the Fund, checks, drafts and other negotiable instruments; and

4) in general, attend to all non-discretionary details in connection with the sale, exchange, substitution, purchase, transfer and other dealings with the investments and property of the Fund except as otherwise directed by the Board.

Section 9 . Responsibility of Custodian.

The Custodian shall not be responsible for the title, validity or genuineness of any property or evidence of title thereto received by it or delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement and shall be held harmless in acting upon any notice, request, consent, certificate or other instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to be signed by the proper party or parties, including any futures commission merchant acting pursuant to the terms of a three-party futures or options agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Custodian shall be held to the exercise of reasonable care in carrying out the provisions of this Agreement, and it shall be kept indemnified by and shall be without liability to the Fund for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith without negligence. In order for the indemnification provision contained in this Section to apply, it is understood that if in any case the Fund may be asked by the Custodian to indemnify or hold the Custodian harmless, the Fund shall be fully and promptly advised of all pertinent facts concerning the situation in question, and it is further understood that the Custodian will use reasonable care to identify, and notify the Fund promptly concerning, any situation which presents or appears likely to present the probability of such a claim for indemnification. The Fund shall have the option to defend the Custodian against any claim which may be the subject of a claim for indemnification hereunder, and in the event that the Fund so elects, it will notify the Custodian thereof and, thereupon, (i) the Fund shall take over complete defense of the claim and (ii) the Custodian shall initiate no further legal or other expenses with respect to such claim. The Custodian shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise with respect to any claim for which it will seek indemnity from the Fund except with the Fund's prior written consent. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit any right or cause of action on the part of the Custodian under this Agreement which is independent of any right or cause of action on the part of the Fund. The Custodian shall be entitled to rely on and may act upon advice of counsel (who may be counsel for the Fund or other such counsel as agreed to by the parties) on all matters, and shall be without liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted pursuant to such advice. The Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall have no duty of inquiry with respect to, the accuracy of any representation or warranty given to it by the Fund or any duly-authorized employee or agent thereof, and shall be without liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted by it in reliance thereon. Regardless of whether assets held pursuant to this Agreement are maintained in the custody of a foreign banking institution, a foreign securities

depository, or a branch or affiliate of a U.S. bank, the Custodian shall not be liable for any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim resulting from, or caused by, the direction of or authorization by the Fund to maintain custody of any securities or cash or other property of the Fund in a foreign country including, but not limited to, losses resulting from the nationalization or expropriation of assets, the imposition of currency controls or restrictions, acts of war or terrorism or civil unrest, riots, revolutions, work stoppages, natural disasters or other similar events or acts.

Except as may arise from the Custodian`s own negligence or willful misconduct or the negligence or willful misconduct of a sub-custodian or agent, the Custodian shall be without liability to the Fund for any loss, liability, claim or expense resulting from or caused by: (i) events or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Custodian or any sub-custodian or Securities System or any agent or nominee of any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, the interruption, suspension or restriction of trading on or the closure of any securities market, power or other mechanical or technological failures or interruptions, computer viruses or communications disruptions; (ii) errors by the Fund or its duly- appointed investment advisor in their instructions to the Custodian provided such instructions have been given in accordance with this Agreement; (iii) the insolvency of or acts or omissions by a Securities System; (iv) any delay or failure of any broker, agent or intermediary, central bank or other commercially prevalent payment or clearing system to deliver to the Custodian`s sub- custodian or agent securities purchased or in the remittance or payment made in connection with securities sold; (v) any delay or failure of any company, corporation or other body in charge of registering or transferring securities in the name of the Custodian, the Fund, the Custodian`s sub-custodians, nominees or agents, or any consequential losses arising out of such delay or failure to transfer such securities, including non-receipt of bonus, dividends and rights and other accretions or benefits; (vi) delays or inability to perform its duties due to any disorder in market infrastructure with respect to any particular security or Securities System; and (vii) changes to any provision of any present or future law or regulation or order of the United States, or any state thereof, or of any other country or political subdivision thereof, or any order of any court of competent jurisdiction.

The Custodian shall be liable for the acts or omissions of a foreign banking institution acting as a sub-custodian hereunder to the same extent as set forth with respect to sub-custodians generally in this Agreement.

If the Fund requires the Custodian to take any action with respect to investments, which action involves the payment of money or which action may, in the reasonable opinion of the Custodian, result in the Custodian or its nominee assigned to the Fund being liable for the payment of money or incurring liability of some other form, the Fund, as a prerequisite to requiring the Custodian to take such action, shall provide indemnity to the Custodian in an amount and form satisfactory to it.

If the Custodian, or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents, advances cash or investments to the Fund for any purpose (including but not limited to securities settlements, foreign exchange contracts and assumed settlement), or in the event that the Custodian or its nominee shall incur or be assessed any taxes, charges, expenses, assessments, claims or liabilities in connection with the performance of this Agreement, except such as may arise from its or its nominee`s own negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct, any property at any time held for the account of the Fund shall be security therefor, and should the Fund fail to repay the Custodian promptly the Custodian shall be entitled to utilize available cash and to dispose of the Fund assets to the extent necessary to obtain reimbursement, provided that the Custodian gives the Fund reasonable notice to repay such cash or securities advanced, and provided further that such notice requirement shall not preclude the Custodian`s right to assert and execute on such lien.

Except as may arise from the Custodian`s own negligence or willful misconduct, or the negligence or willful misconduct of a subcustodian or agent appointed by the Custodian, the Fund agrees to indemnify and hold the Custodian harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, charges, reasonable counsel fees, payments and liabilities which may be asserted against the Custodian (i) acting in accordance with any Proper Instruction, or (ii) for any acts or omissions of Chase Manhattan Bank N.A .

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, to the extent the Custodian is found to be liable hereunder for any loss, liability, claim, expense or damage, the Custodian shall be liable only for such loss, liability, claim, expense or damage which was reasonably foreseeable.

Section 10. Effective Period, Termination and Amendment.

This Agreement shall become effective as of the date of its execution, shall continue in full force and effect until terminated as hereinafter provided, may be amended at any time by mutual agreement of the parties hereto, and may be terminated by either party by an instrument in writing delivered or mailed, postage prepaid to the other party, such termination to take effect not sooner than thirty (30) days after the date of such delivery or mailing in the case of a termination by the Fund, and not sooner than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such delivery or mailing in the case of termination by the Custodian; provided, however that the Custodian shall not act under Section 2.9 hereof in the absence of receipt of an initial certificate of a Fund`s secretary, or an assistant secretary thereof, that the Board has approved the initial use of a particular U.S. Securities System, as required by the 1940 Act or any applicable Rule thereunder, and that the Custodian shall not act under Section 2.10 hereof in the absence of receipt of an initial certificate of a Fund`s secretary, or an assistant secretary thereof, that the Board has approved the initial use of the Direct Paper System; provided further, however, that the Fund shall not amend or terminate this Agreement in contravention of any applicable federal or state regulations, or any provision of the Fund`s articles of incorporation, agreement of trust, by-laws and/or registration statement (as applicable, the "Governing Documents" ); and further provided that the Fund may at any time by action of its Board (i) substitute another bank or trust company for the Custodian by giving notice as described above to the Custodian, or (ii) immediately terminate this Agreement in the event of the appointment of a conservator or receiver for the Custodian by the United States Comptroller of the Currency or upon the happening of a like event at the direction of an appropriate regulatory agency or court of competent jurisdiction.

Upon termination of the Agreement, the Fund shall pay to the Custodian such compensation as may be due as of the date of such termination and shall likewise reimburse the Custodian for its reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements, provided that the Custodian shall not incur any costs, expenses or disbursements specifically in connection with such termination unless it has received prior approval from the Fund, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

Section 11. Successor Custodian.

If a successor custodian shall be appointed by the Board, the Custodian shall, upon termination, deliver to such successor custodian at the offices of the Custodian, duly endorsed and in the form for transfer, all investments and other properties then held by it hereunder, and shall transfer to an account of the successor custodian all of the Fund`s investments held in a Securities System. If no such successor custodian shall be appointed, the Custodian shall, in like manner, upon receipt of a copy of a vote of the Board, certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the applicable Fund, deliver at the offices of the Custodian and transfer such investments, funds and other properties in accordance with such vote. In the event that no written order designating a successor custodian or certified copy of a vote of the Board shall have been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date when such termination shall become effective, then the Custodian shall have the right to deliver to a bank or trust company, which is a "bank" as defined in the 1940 Act, doing business in Boston, Massachusetts, or New York, New York, of its own selection and having an aggregate capital, surplus, and undivided profits, as shown by its last published report, of not less than $100,000,000, all property held by the Custodian under this Agreement and to transfer to an account of such successor custodian all of the Fund`s investments held in any Securities System; thereafter, such bank or trust company shall be the successor of the Custodian under this Agreement.

In the event that any property held pursuant to this Agreement remains in the possession of the Custodian after the date of termination hereof owing to failure of the Fund to procure the certified copy of the vote referred to or of the Board to appoint a successor custodian, the Custodian shall be entitled to fair compensation for its services during such period as the Custodian retains possession of such property, and the provisions of this Agreement relating to the duties and obligations of the Custodian shall remain in full force and effect.

In the case of a series fund or trust, all references to the "Fund" are to the individual series or portfolio of such fund or trust, or to such fund or trust on behalf of the individual series or portfolio, as appropriate. Any reference in this Agreement to "the parties" shall mean the Custodian and such other individual Fund as to which the matter pertains. Each Fund hereby represents and warranties that (i) it has the requisite power and authority under applicable laws and its Governing Documents to enter into and perform this Agreement, (ii) all requisite proceedings have been taken to authorize it to enter into and perform this Agreement, and (iii) its entrance into this Agreement shall not cause a material breach or be in material conflict with any other agreement or obligation of the Fund or any law or regulation applicable to it.

Section 12.18 Directors and Trustees . It is understood and is expressly stipulated that neither the holders of Shares nor any member of the Board be personally liable hereunder. Whenever reference is made herein to an action required to be taken by the Board, such action may also be taken by the Board`s executive committee.

With respect to any Fund which is a party to this Agreement and which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust, the term "Fund" means and refers to the trustees from time to time serving under the applicable trust agreement of such trust, as the same may be amended from time to time (the "Declaration of Trust" ). It is expressly agreed that the obligations of any such Fund hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents or employees of the Fund personally, but bind only the trust property of the Fund as set forth in the applicable Declaration of Trust.

SEC Rule 14b-2 requires banks which hold securities for the account of customers to respond to requests by issuers of securities for the names, addresses and holdings of beneficial owners of securities of that issuer held by the bank unless the beneficial owner has expressly objected to disclosure of this information.

If the Fund tells the Custodian "no", the Custodian will not provide this information to requesting companies. If the Fund tells the Custodian "yes" or does not check either "yes" or "no" below, the Custodian is required by the rule to treat the Fund as consenting to disclosure of this information for all securities owned by the Fund or any funds or accounts established by the Fund. For the Fund`s protection, the Rule prohibits the requesting company from using the Fund`s name and address for any purpose other than corporate communications. Please indicate below whether the Fund consents or objects by checking one of the alternatives below.

YES [ ] The Custodian is authorized to release the Fund`s name, address, and share positions.

GLOBAL CUSTODY AGREEMENT

This AGREEMENT is effective January 3, 1994, and is between THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK, N.A. (the "Bank") and EACH OF THE ENTITIES LISTED ON SCHEDULE A HERETO, Individually and Separately (each individually, the "Customer").

1. Customer Accounts.

The Bank agrees to establish and maintain the following accounts ("Accounts"):

(a) A custody account in the name of the Customer ("Custody Account") for any and all stocks, shares, bonds, debentures, notes, mortgages or other obligations for the payment of money, bullion, coin and any certificates, receipts, warrants or other instruments representing rights to receive, purchase or subscribe for the same or evidencing or representing any other rights or interests therein and other similar property whether certificated or uncertificated as may be received by the Bank or its Subcustodian (as defined in Section 3) for the account of the Customer ("Securities"); and

(b) A deposit account in the name of the Customer ("Deposit Account") for any and all cash in any currency received by the Bank or its Subcustodian for the account of the Customer, which cash shall not be subject to withdrawal by draft or check.

The Customer warrants its authority to: 1) deposit the cash and Securities ("Assets") received in the Accounts and 2) give Instructions (as defined in Section 11) concerning the Accounts. The Bank may deliver securities of the same class in place of those deposited in the Custody Account.

Upon written agreement between the Bank and the Customer, additional Accounts may be established and separately accounted for as additional Accounts under the terms of this Agreement.

2. Maintenance of Securities and Cash at Bank and Subcustodian Locations.

Unless Instructions specifically require another location acceptable to the Bank:

(a) Securities will be held in the country or other jurisdiction in which the principal trading market for such Securities is located, where such Securities are to be presented for payment or where such Securities are acquired; and

(b) Cash will be credited to an account in a country or other jurisdiction in which such cash may be legally deposited or is the legal currency for the payment of public or private debts.

Cash may be held pursuant to Instructions in either interest or non interest bearing accounts as may be available for the particular currency. To the extent Instructions are issued and the Bank can comply with such Instructions, the Bank is authorized to maintain cash balances on deposit for the Customer with itself or one of its affiliates at such reasonable rates of interest as may from time to time be paid on such accounts, or in non interest bearing accounts as the Customer may direct, if acceptable to the Bank.

If the Customer wishes to have any of its Assets held in the custody of an institution other than the established Subcustodians as defined in Section 3 (or their securities depositories), such arrangement must be authorized by a written agreement, signed by the Bank and the Customer.

3. Subcustodians and Securities Depositories.

The Bank may act under this Agreement through the subcustodians listed in Schedule B of this Agreement with which the Bank has entered into subcustodial agreements ("Subcustodians"). The Customer authorizes the Bank to hold Assets in the Accounts in accounts which the Bank has established with one or more of its branches or Subcustodians. The Bank and Subcustodians are authorized to hold any of the Securities in their account with any securities depository in which they participate.

The Bank reserves the right to add new, replace or remove Subcustodians. The Customer will be given reasonable notice by the Bank of any amendment to Schedule B. Upon request by the Customer, the Bank will identify the name, address and principal place of business of any Subcustodian of the Customer's Assets and the name and address of the governmental agency or other regulatory authority that supervises or regulates such Subcustodian.

4. Use of Subcustodian.

(a) The Bank will identify such Assets on its books as belonging to the Customer.

(b) A Subcustodian will hold such Assets together with assets belonging to other customers of the Bank in accounts identified on such Subcustodian's books as special custody accounts for the exclusive benefit of customers of the Bank.

(c) Any Assets in the Accounts held by a Subcustodian will be subject only to the instructions of the Bank or its agent. Any Securities held in a securities depository for the account of a Subcustodian will be subject only to the instructions of such Subcustodian.

(d) Any agreement the Bank enters into with a Subcustodian for holding its customer's assets shall provide that such assets will not be subject to any right, charge, security interest, lien or claim of any kind in favor of such Subcustodian or its creditors except for a claim for payment for safe custody or administration, and that the beneficial ownership of such assets will be freely transferable without the payment of money or value other than for safe custody or administration.

The foregoing shall not apply to the extent of any special agreement or arrangement made by the Customer with any particular Subcustodian.

5. Deposit Account Transactions.

(a) The Bank or its Subcustodians will make payments from the Deposit Account upon receipt of Instructions which include all information required by the Bank.

(b) In the event that any payment to be made under this Section 5 exceeds the funds available in the Deposit Account, the Bank, in its discretion, may advance the Customer such excess amount which shall be deemed a loan payable on demand, bearing interest at the rate customarily charged by the Bank on similar loans.

(c) If the Bank credits the Deposit Account on a payable date, or at any time prior to actual collection and reconciliation to the Deposit Account, with interest, dividends, redemptions or any other amount due, the Customer will promptly return any such amount upon oral or written notification: (i) that such amount has not been received in the ordinary course of business or (ii) that such amount was incorrectly credited. If the Customer does not promptly return any amount upon such notification, the Bank shall be entitled, upon oral or written notification to the Customer, to reverse such credit by debiting the Deposit Account for the amount previously credited. The Bank or its Subcustodian shall have no duty or obligation to institute legal proceedings, file a claim or a proof of claim in any insolvency proceeding or take any other action with respect to the collection of such amount, but may act for the Customer upon Instructions after consultation with the Customer.

6. Custody Account Transactions.

(a) Securities will be transferred, exchanged or delivered by the Bank or its Subcustodian upon receipt by the Bank of Instructions which include all information required by the Bank. Settlement and payment for Securities received for, and delivery of Securities out of, the Custody Account may be made in accordance with the customary or established securities trading or securities processing practices and procedures in the jurisdiction or market in which the transaction occurs, including, without limitation, delivery of Securities to a purchaser, dealer or their agents against a receipt with the expectation of receiving later payment and free delivery. Delivery of Securities out of the Custody Account may also be made in any manner specifically required by Instructions acceptable to the Bank.

(b) The Bank, in its discretion, may credit or debit the Accounts on a contractual settlement date with cash or Securities with respect to any sale, exchange or purchase of Securities. Otherwise, such transactions will be credited or debited to the Accounts on the date cash or Securities are actually received by the Bank and reconciled to the Account.

(i) The Bank may reverse credits or debits made to the Accounts in its discretion if the related transaction fails to settle within a reasonable period, determined by the Bank in its discretion, after the contractual settlement date for the related transaction.

(ii) If any Securities delivered pursuant to this Section 6 are returned by the recipient thereof, the Bank may reverse the credits and debits of the particular transaction at any time.

7. Actions of the Bank.

The Bank shall follow Instructions received regarding assets held in the Accounts. However, until it receives Instructions to the contrary, the Bank will:

(a) Present for payment any Securities which are called, redeemed or retired or otherwise become payable and all coupons and other income items which call for payment upon presentation, to the extent that the Bank or Subcustodian is actually aware of such opportunities.

(b) Execute in the name of the Customer such ownership and other certificates as may be required to obtain payments in respect of Securities.

(d) Appoint brokers and agents for any transaction involving the Securities, including, without limitation, affiliates of the Bank or any Subcustodian.

(e) Issue statements to the Customer, at times mutually agreed upon, identifying the Assets in the Accounts.

The Bank will send the Customer an advice or notification of any transfers of Assets to or from the Accounts. Such statements, advices or notifications shall indicate the identity of the entity having custody of the Assets. Unless the Customer sends the Bank a written exception or objection to any Bank statement within ninety (90) days of receipt, the Customer shall be deemed to have approved such statement. The Bank shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released, relieved and discharged with respect to all matters set forth in such statement or reasonably implied therefrom as though it had been settled by the decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in an action where the Customer and all persons having or claiming an interest in the Customer or the Customer's Accounts were parties if: (a) the Customer has failed to provide a written exception or objection to any Bank statement within ninety (90) days of receipt and where the Customer's failure to so provide a written exception or objection within such ninety (90) day period has limited the Bank's (i) access to the records, materials and other information required to investigate the Customer's exception or objection, and (ii) ability to recover from third parties any amounts for which the Bank may become liable in connection with such exception or objection, or (b) where the Customer has otherwise explicitly approved any such statement.

All collections of funds or other property paid or distributed in respect of Securities in the Custody Account shall be made at the risk of the Customer. The Bank shall have no liability for any loss occasioned by delay in the actual receipt of notice by the Bank or by its Subcustodians of any payment, redemption or other transaction regarding Securities in the Custody Account in respect of which the Bank has agreed to take any action under this Agreement.

8. Corporate Actions; Proxies.

Whenever the Bank receives information concerning the Securities which requires discretionary action by the beneficial owner of the Securities (other than a proxy), such as subscription rights, bonus issues, stock repurchase plans and rights offerings, or legal notices or other material intended to be transmitted to securities holders ("Corporate Actions"), the Bank will give the Customer notice of such Corporate Actions to the extent that the Bank's central corporate actions department has actual knowledge of a Corporate Action in time to notify its customers.

When a rights entitlement or a fractional interest resulting from a rights issue, stock dividend, stock split or similar Corporate Action is received which bears an expiration date, the Bank will endeavor to obtain Instructions from the Customer or its Authorized Person, but if Instructions are not received in time for the Bank to take timely action, or actual notice of such Corporate Action was received too late to seek Instructions, the Bank is authorized to sell such rights entitlement or fractional interest and to credit the Deposit Account with the proceeds or take any other action it deems, in good faith, to be appropriate in which case it shall be held harmless for any such action.

The Bank will deliver proxies to the Customer or its designated agent pursuant to special arrangements which may have been agreed to in writing. Such proxies shall be executed in the appropriate nominee name relating to Securities in the Custody Account registered in the name of such nominee but without indicating the manner in which such proxies are to be voted; and where bearer Securities are involved, proxies will be delivered in accordance with Instructions.

9. Nominees.

Securities which are ordinarily held in registered form may be registered in a nominee name of the Bank, Subcustodian or securities depository, as the case may be. The Bank may without notice to the Customer cause any such Securities to cease to be registered in the name of any such nominee and to be registered in the name of the Customer. In the event that any Securities registered in a nominee name are called for partial redemption by the issuer, the Bank may allot the called portion to the respective beneficial holders of such class of security pro rata or in any other manner that is fair, equitable and practicable. The Customer agrees to hold the Bank, Subcustodians, and their respective nominees harmless from any liability arising directly or indirectly from their status as a mere record holder of Securities in the Custody Account.

10. Authorized Persons.

As used in this Agreement, the term "Authorized Person" means employees or agents including investment managers as have been designated by written notice from the Customer or its designated agent to act on behalf of the Customer under this Agreement. Such persons shall continue to be Authorized Persons until such time as the Bank receives Instructions from the Customer or its designated agent that any such employee or agent is no longer an Authorized Person.

11. Instructions.

The term "Instructions" means instructions of any Authorized Person received by the Bank, via telephone, telex, TWX, facsimile transmission, bank wire or other teleprocess or electronic instruction or trade information system acceptable to the Bank which the Bank believes in good faith to have been given by Authorized Persons or which are transmitted with proper testing or authentication pursuant to terms and conditions which the Bank may specify. Unless otherwise expressly provided, all Instructions shall continue in full force and effect until canceled or superseded.

Any Instructions delivered to the Bank by telephone shall promptly thereafter be confirmed in writing by an Authorized Person (which confirmation may bear the facsimile signature of such Person), but the Customer will hold the Bank harmless for the failure of an Authorized Person to send such confirmation in writing, the failure of such confirmation to conform to the telephone instructions received or the Bank's failure to produce such confirmation at any subsequent time. The Bank may electronically record any Instructions given by telephone, and any other telephone discussions with respect to the Custody Account. The Customer shall be responsible for safeguarding any testkeys, identification codes or other security devices which the Bank shall make available to the Customer or its Authorized Persons.

12. Standard of Care; Liabilities.

(a) The Bank shall be responsible for the performance of only such duties as are set forth in this Agreement or expressly contained in Instructions which are consistent with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

(i) The Bank will use reasonable care with respect to its obligations under this Agreement and the safekeeping of Assets. The Bank shall be liable to the Customer for any loss which shall occur as the result of the failure of a Subcustodian to exercise reasonable care with respect to the safekeeping of such Assets to the same extent that the Bank would be liable to the Customer if the Bank were holding such Assets in New York. In the event of any loss to the Customer by reason of the failure of the Bank or its Subcustodian to utilize reasonable care, the Bank shall be liable to the Customer only to the extent of the Customer's direct damages, and shall in no event be liable for any special or consequential damages.

(ii) The Bank will not be responsible for any act, omission, default or for the solvency of any broker or agent which it or a Subcustodian appoints unless such appointment was made negligently or in bad faith or for any loss due to the negligent act of such broker or agent except to the extent that such broker or agent (other than a Subcustodian) performs in a negligent manner which is the cause of the loss to the Customer and the Bank failed to exercise reasonable care in monitoring such broker's or agent's performance where Customer has requested and Bank has agreed to accept such monitoring responsibility.

(iii) The Bank shall be indemnified by, and without liability to the Customer for any action taken or omitted by the Bank whether pursuant to Instructions or otherwise within the scope of this Agreement if such act or omission was in good faith, without negligence. In performing its obligations under this Agreement, the Bank may rely on the genuineness of any document which it believes in good faith to have been validly executed.

(iv) The Customer agrees to pay for and hold the Bank harmless from any liability or loss resulting from the imposition or assessment of any taxes or other governmental charges, and any related expenses with respect to income from or Assets in the Accounts, except to the extent that the Bank has failed to exercise reasonable care in performing any obligations which the Bank may have agreed to assume (in addition to those stated in this Agreement) with respect to taxes and such failure by the Bank is the direct cause of such imposition or assessment of such taxes, charges or expenses.

(v) The Bank shall be entitled to rely, and may act, upon the advice of counsel (who may be counsel for the Customer) on all legal matters and shall be without liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted pursuant to such advice; provided, that the Bank gives (to the extent practicable) prior notice to Customer of Bank's intention to so seek advice of counsel and an opportunity for consultation with Customer on the proposed contact with counsel.

(vi) The Bank represents and warrants that it currently maintain a banker's blanket bond which provides standard fidelity and non-negligent loss coverage with respect to the Securities and Cash which may be held by Subcustodians pursuant to this Agreement. The Bank agrees that if at any time it for any reason discontinues such coverage, it shall immediately give sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the Customer. The Bank need not maintain any insurance for the benefit of the Customer.

(vii) Without limiting the foregoing, the Bank shall not be liable for any loss which results from: (1) the general risk of investing, or (2) investing or holding Assets in a particular country including, but not limited to, losses resulting from nationalization, expropriation or other governmental actions; regulation of the banking or securities industry; currency restrictions, devaluations or fluctuations; and market conditions which prevent the orderly execution of securities transactions or affect the value of Assets.

(viii) Neither party shall be liable to the other for any loss due to forces beyond their control including, but not limited to strikes or work stoppages, acts of war or terrorism, insurrection, revolution, nuclear fusion, fission or radiation, or acts of God.

(b) Consistent with and without limiting the first paragraph of this Section 12, it is specifically acknowledged that the Bank shall have no duty or responsibility to:

(i) question Instructions or make any suggestions to the Customer or an Authorized Person regarding such Instructions;

(ii) supervise or make recommendations with respect to investments or the retention of Securities;

(iii) advise the Customer or an Authorized Person regarding any default in the payment of principal or income of any security other than as provided in Section 5(c) of this Agreement;

(iv) evaluate or report to the Customer or an Authorized Person regarding the financial condition of any broker, agent (other than a Subcustodian) or other party to which Securities are delivered or payments are made pursuant to this Agreement;

(v) review or reconcile trade confirmations received from brokers. The Customer or its Authorized Persons (as defined in Section 10) issuing Instructions shall bear any responsibility to review such confirmations against Instructions issued to and statements issued by the Bank.

(c) The Customer authorizes the Bank to act under this Agreement notwithstanding that the Bank or any of its divisions or affiliates may have a material interest in a transaction, or circumstances are such that the Bank may have a potential conflict of duty or interest including the fact that the Bank or any of its affiliates may provide brokerage services to other customers, act as financial advisor to the issuer of Securities, act as a lender to the issuer of Securities, act in the same transaction as agent for more than one customer, have a material interest in the issue of Securities, or earn profits from any of the activities listed herein.

13. Fees and Expenses.

The Customer agrees to pay the Bank for its services under this Agreement such amount as may be agreed upon in writing, together with the Bank's reasonable out of pocket or incidental expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees. The Bank shall have a lien on and is authorized to charge any Accounts of the Customer for any amount owing to the Bank under any provision of this Agreement upon notice to the Customer.

14. Miscellaneous.

(a) Foreign Exchange Transactions. Pursuant to Instructions, which may be standing Instructions, to facilitate the administration of the Customer's trading and investment activity, the Bank is authorized to enter into spot or forward foreign exchange contracts with the Customer or an Authorized Person for the Customer and may also provide foreign exchange through its subsidiaries or Subcustodians. The Bank may establish rules or limitations concerning any foreign exchange facility made available. In all cases where the Bank, its subsidiaries, affiliates or Subcustodians enter into a foreign exchange contract related to Accounts, the terms and conditions of the then current foreign exchange contract of the Bank, its subsidiary, affiliate or Subcustodian and, to the extent not inconsistent, this Agreement shall apply to such transaction.

(b) Certification of Residency, etc. The Customer certifies that it is a resident of the United States and agrees to notify the Bank of any changes in residency. The Bank may rely upon this certification or the certification of such other facts as may be required to administer the Bank's obligations under this Agreement. The Customer will indemnify the Bank against all losses, liability, claims or demands arising directly or indirectly from any such certifications.

(c) Access to Records. The Bank shall allow the Customer's independent public accountants, officers and advisers reasonable access to the records of the Bank relating to the Assets as is required in connection with their examination of books and records pertaining to the Customer's affairs. Subject to restrictions under applicable law, the Bank shall also obtain an undertaking to permit the Customer's independent public accountants reasonable access to the records of any Subcustodian which has physical possession of any Assets as may be required in connection with the examination of the Customer's books and records.

(d) Governing Law; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York and shall not be assignable by either party, but shall bind the successors in interest of the Customer and the Bank.

(e) Entire Agreement; Applicable Riders. Customer represents that the Assets deposited in the Accounts are (Check one):

X Employee Benefit Plan or other assets subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended ("ERISA");

(c) Where Customer is considering investing in the Russian Securities of an issuer as to which CMBI has a Registrar Contract with the issuer's Registrar Company, Customer may advise Bank of its interest in investing in such issuer and, in such event, Bank will advise Customer of the occurrence of any one or more of the events described in paragraphs (i)-(v) on pps. 8-9 of the No- Action Letter of which CMBI has actual knowledge.

Add a new Section 20 to the Agreement as follows: "Subject to the cooperation of a Registrar Company, for at least the first two years following CMBI's first use of a Registrar Company, Bank shall cause CMBI to conduct share confirmations on at least a quarterly basis, although thereafter confirmations may be conducted on a less frequent basis if Customer's Board of Directors, in consultation with CMBI, determines it to be appropriate."

Section 15. Add a new Section 21 to the Agreement as follows: "Bank shall cause CMBI to prepare for distribution to Customer's Board of Directors a quarterly report identifying: (i) any concerns it has regarding the Russian share registration system that should be brought to the attention of the Board of Directors; and (ii) the steps CMBI has taken during the reporting period to ensure that Customer's interests continue to be appropriately recorded."

Section 16. Add a new Section 22 to the Agreement as follows: "Except as provided in new '16(b), the services to be provided by Bank hereunder will be provided only in relation to Russian Securities for which CMBI has entered into a Registrar Contract with the relevant Registrar Company."

The Procedures are incorporated by reference herein and form a part of this Rider.

2. Proxy Services shall consist of those elements as set forth in the Procedures, and shall include (a) notifications ("Notifications") by Bank to Customer of the dates of pending shareholder meetings, resolutions to be voted upon and the return dates as may be received by Bank or provided to Bank by its Subcustodians or third parties, and (b) voting by Bank of proxies based on Customer directions. Original proxy materials or copies thereof shall not be provided. Notifications shall generally be in English and, where necessary, shall be summarized and translated from such non- English materials as have been made available to Bank or its Subcustodian. In this respect Bank=s only obligation is to provide information from sources it believes to be reliable and/or to provide materials summarized and/or translated in good faith. Bank reserves the right to provide Notifications, or parts thereof, in the language received.

3. While Bank shall attempt to provide accurate and complete Notifications, whether or not translated, Bank shall not be liable for any losses or other consequences that may result from reliance by Customer upon Notifications where Bank prepared the same in good faith.

4. Notwithstanding the fact that Bank may act in a fiduciary capacity with respect to Customer under other agreements or otherwise under the Agreement, in performing Proxy Services

Bank shall be acting solely as the agent of Customer, and shall not exercise any discretion with regard to such Proxy Services.

5. Proxy voting may be precluded or restricted in a variety of circumstances, including, without limitation, where the relevant Securities are: (I) on loan; (ii) at registrar for registration or reregistration; (iii) the subject of a conversion or other corporate action; (iv) not held in a name subject to the control of Bank or its Subcustodian or are otherwise held in a manner which precludes voting; (v) not capable of being voted on account of local market regulations or practices or restrictions by the issuer; or (vi) held in a margin or collateral account.

6. Customer acknowledges that in certain countries Bank may be unable to vote individual proxies but shall only be able to vote proxies on a net basis (e.g., a net yes or no vote given the voting instructions received from all customers).

7. Customer shall not make any use of the information provided hereunder, except in connection with the funds or plans covered hereby, and shall in no event sell, license, give or otherwise make the information provided hereunder available, to any third party, and shall not directly or indirectly compete with Bank or diminish the market for Proxy Services by provision of such information, in whole or in part, for compensation or otherwise, to any third party.

Rowe Price Funds, severally and not jointly, set forth on Appendix 2 ("Customer"), having a place of business at 100 East Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202, and The Chase Manhattan Bank ("Bank"), having a place of business at 270 Park Ave., New York, N.Y. 10017- 2070.

It is hereby agreed as follows:

Section 1. Except as modified hereby, the Agreement is confirmed in all respects. Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement.

Section 2. The Agreement is amended by deleting the investment company rider thereto and inserting, in lieu thereof, the following investment company rider:

1. "Add new Section 15 to the Agreement as follows:

15. Compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission rule 17f-5 ("rule 17f-5").

(a) Customer`s board of directors (or equivalent body) (hereinafter "Board") hereby delegates to Bank, and Bank hereby accepts the delegation to it of, the obligations set forth in rule SEC rule 17f-5(c)(1)-(3) to perform as Customer`s "Foreign Custody Manager" (as that term is defined in rule 17f-5(a)(3)), including for the purposes of (i) selecting Eligible Foreign Custodians (as that term is defined in rule 17f-5(a)(1), as the same may be amended from time to time, or are otherwise deemed an Eligible Foreign Custodian pursuant to an SEC exemptive order, rule other appropriate SEC action) to hold Customer`s Foreign Assets, (ii) evaluating the contractual arrangements with such Eligible Foreign Custodians (as set forth in rule 17f-5(c)(2)); and (iii) monitoring such foreign custody arrangements (as set forth in rule 17f-5(c)(3)).

(b) In connection with the foregoing, Bank shall:

(i) provide written reports notifying Customer`s Board of the placement and withdrawal of Foreign Assets with particular Eligible Foreign Custodians and of any material change in the arrangements with such Eligible Foreign Custodians, with such reports to be provided to Customer`s Board at such times as the Board deems reasonable and appropriate based on the circumstances of Customer`s foreign custody arrangements but until further notice from Customer requesting a different schedule, such

reports shall be provided not less than quarterly in summary form, with a more detailed report annually.

(ii) exercise such reasonable care, prudence and diligence in performing as Customer`s Foreign Custody Manager as a person having responsibility for the safekeeping of Foreign Assets would exercise;

(iii) in selecting each Eligible Foreign Custodian, determine that Foreign Assets placed and maintained in the safekeeping of such Eligible Foreign Custodian shall be subject to reasonable care, based on the standards applicable to custodians in the relevant market, after having considered all factors relevant to the safekeeping of such Foreign Assets, including, without limitation, those factors set forth in rule 17f-5(c)(1)(i)-(iv);

(iv) determine that the written contract with the Eligible Foreign Custodian will (a) satisfy the requirements of rule 17f- 5(c)(2), and (b) provide reasonable care for Foreign Assets based on the standards specified in 17-5(c)(1); and

(v) establish a system to monitor (i) the continued appropriateness of maintaining Foreign Assets with particular Eligible Foreign Custodians and (ii) the performance of the contract governing the custody arrangements; it being understood, however, that in the event that Bank shall have determined that an existing Eligible Foreign Custodian in a given country would no longer meet the requirements of rule 17f-5(c), Bank shall determine whether any other Eligible Foreign Custodian in that country would meet such requirements. In the event that another Eligible Foreign Custodian does so meet the requirements, Bank shall withdraw the Foreign Assets from the custody of the incumbent Eligible Foreign Custodian and deposit them with the other Eligible Foreign Custodian as soon as reasonably practicable, and promptly advise Customer of such withdrawal and deposit. If Bank shall determine that no other Eligible Foreign Custodian in that country would meet the requirements of rule 17f- 5(c), Bank shall so advise Customer and shall then act in accordance with the Instructions of Customer with respect to the disposition of the affected Foreign Assets.

Subject to (b)(i)-(v) above, Bank is hereby authorized to place and maintain Foreign Assets on behalf of Customer with Eligible Foreign Custodians pursuant to a written contract deemed appropriate by Bank.

(c) Except as expressly provided herein and in Section 16 hereof, Customer shall be solely responsible to assure that the maintenance of Foreign Assets hereunder complies with the rules,

regulations, interpretations and exemptive orders promulgated by or under the authority of the SEC.

(d) Bank represents to Customer that it is a U.S. Bank as defined in rule 17f-5(a)(7). Customer represents to Bank that: (1) the Assets being placed and maintained in Bank's custody are subject to the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act") as the same may be amended from time to time; (2) its Board (or other governing body) has determined that it is reasonable to rely on Bank to perform as Customer`s Foreign Custody Manager; and (3) its Board (or other governing body) or its investment adviser shall have determined that Customer may maintain Foreign Assets in each country in which Customer`s Foreign Assets shall be held hereunder and determined to accept the risks arising therefrom (including, but not limited to, a country`s financial infrastructure, prevailing custody and settlement practices, laws applicable to the safekeeping and recovery of Foreign Assets held in custody, and the likelihood of nationalization, currency controls and the like) (collectively ("Country Risk")). Nothing contained herein shall require Bank to make any selection on behalf of Customer that would entail consideration of Country Risk and, except as may be provided in (e) below, to engage in any monitoring of Country Risk.

(e) Bank shall provide to Customer such information relating to Country Risk as is specified in Appendix 1-A hereto. Customer hereby acknowledges that: (i) such information is solely designed to inform Customer of market conditions and procedures and is not intended as a recommendation to invest or not invest in particular markets; and (ii) Bank has gathered the information from sources it considers reliable, but that Bank shall have no responsibility for inaccuracies or incomplete information.

2. Add the following after the first sentence of Section 3 of the Agreement:

At the request of Customer, Bank may, but need not, add to Schedule A an Eligible Foreign Custodian where Bank has not acted as Foreign Custody Manager with respect to the selection thereof. Bank shall notify Customer in the event that it elects to add any such entity.

3. Add the following language to the end of Section 3 of the Agreement:

The term Subcustodian as used herein shall mean the following:

(a) a U.S. bank as defined in rule 17f 5(a)(7); and

(b) an "Eligible Foreign Custodian," which, as defined in rule 17f-5(a)(1) and (5), shall mean (i) a banking institution or trust company, incorporated or organized under the laws of a country other than the United States, that is regulated as such by that country's government or an agency thereof, and (ii) a majority-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of a U.S. Bank or bank holding company which subsidiary is incorporated or organized under the laws of a country other than the United States. In addition, an Eligible Foreign Custodian shall also mean any other entity that shall have been so qualified by exemptive order, rule or other appropriate action of the SEC.

(c) For purposes of provisions of the Agreement imposing liability on Bank, the term Subcustodian shall not include any Eligible Foreign Custodian as to which Bank has not acted as Foreign Custody Manager or, for purposes of clarity, any securities depository."

4. Add the following language to the end of the first sentence of Section 4(d) of the Agreement: "or, in the case of cash deposits, except for liens or rights in favor of creditors of the Subcustodian arising under bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws."

5. Add a new Section 16 to the Agreement as follows:

16. Compliance with Securities and Exchange Commission rule 17f-7 ("rule 17f-7").

(a) Bank shall, for consideration by Customer or Customer`s investment adviser, provide an analysis in accordance with rule 17f-7(a)(1)(i)(A) of the custody risks associated with maintaining Customer`s Foreign Assets with each Eligible Securities Depository used by Bank as of the date hereof (or, in the case of an Eligible Securities Depository not used by Bank as of the date hereof, prior to the initial placement of Customer`s Foreign Assets at such Depository) and at which any Foreign Assets of Customer are held or are expected to be held. The foregoing analysis will be provided to Customer at Bank`s Website. In connection with the foregoing, Customer shall notify Bank of any Eligible Securities Depositories at which it does not choose to have its Foreign Assets held. Bank shall monitor the custody risks associated with maintaining Customer`s Foreign Assets at each such Eligible Securities Depository on a continuing basis and shall promptly notify (which may be electronic) Customer or its adviser of any material changes in such risks in accordance with rule 17f-7(a)(1)(i)(B).

(b) Bank shall exercise reasonable care, prudence and diligence in performing the requirements set forth in Section 16(a) above. The risk analysis of an Eligible Securities Depository provided under paragraph 16(a) shall take account of the specific rules of a given depository and shall, to the extent reasonably practicable, generally consider: (1) the Depository`s expertise and market reputation; (2) the quality of the Depository`s services; (3) the Depository`s financial strength; (4) any insurance or indemnification arrangements; (5) the extent and quality of regulation and independent examination of the Depository; (6) the Depository`s standing in published ratings; (7) the Depository`s internal controls and other procedures for safeguarding assets; and (8) any related legal protections.

(c) Based on the information available to it in the exercise of diligence, Bank shall determine the eligibility under rule 17f-7 of each depository before including it on Appendix 1-B hereto and shall promptly advise Customer if any Eligible Securities Depository ceases to be eligible. (Eligible Securities Depositories used by Bank as of the date hereof are set forth in Appendix 1-B hereto, and as the same may be amended on notice to Customer from time to time.)

(d) Bank need not commence performing any of the duties set forth in this Section 16 prior to March 31, 2001, but Bank shall advise Customer if it is prepared to commence such duties prior to such date as to particular depositories.

7. Add the following language to the end of Section 3 of the Agreement:

The term "securities depository" as used herein when referring to a securities depository located outside the U.S. shall mean an "Eligible Securities Depository" which, in turn, shall have the same meaning as in rule 17f-7(b)(1)(i)-(vi) as the same may be amended from time to time, or that has otherwise been made exempt by an SEC exemptive order, rule or other appropriate SEC action, except that prior to the compliance date with rule 17f-7 for a particular securities depository the term "securities depositories" shall be as defined in (a)(1)(ii)-(iii) of the 1997 amendments to rule 17f-5. The term "securities depository" as used herein when referring to a securities depository located in the U.S. shall mean a "securities depository" as defined in SEC rule 17f-4(a).

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Fund hereby employs and appoints Price Services to act, and Price Services agrees to act, as the Fund`s transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and agent in connection with the Fund`s authorized and issued shares of its common stock or shares of beneficial interest (all such stock and shares to be referred to as "Shares" ) and provide services to shareholders of the Fund ( "Shareholders" ) and beneficial Shareholders as agreed to by the parties.

The parties to the Agreement hereby acknowledge that from time to time, Price Services and T. Rowe Price Trust Company and their affiliates may enter into contracts ( "Other Contracts" ) with employee benefit plans and/or their sponsors and the sponsors of 529 Plans for the provision of certain services to participants of 529 Plans and Retirement Plans. Compensation paid to Price Services pursuant to this Agreement is with respect to the services described herein and not with respect to services provided under Other Contracts.

In addition, Price Services may subcontract or jointly contract with other parties, including banks, on behalf of the Funds to perform certain of the functions described herein.

B.	Duties of Price Services

1. Services . Price Services agrees that it will perform services set forth on Schedule 1 of this Agreement, on behalf of the Fund, in accordance with all applicable rules and regulations; the Fund`s then current prospectus and policies and procedures adopted by Price Services.

2. Agreements with Intermediaries . The Fund authorizes Price Services to enter into agreements with certain third party intermediaries, which include but are not limited to banks, broker-dealers, insurance companies and retirement plan recordkeepers ( "Intermediary" ), for the following purposes:

Orders To receive orders for Fund shares from beneficial Shareholders (including Plan Participants) and transmit such orders to Price Services in accordance with procedures established by agreement between Price Services and the Intermediary. Receipt of orders by the Intermediary by the close of business on a day the New York Stock Exchange is open shall be deemed receipt of the order by the Fund for that day`s net asset value to the extent permitted by Rule 22c-1 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 ( "`40 Act" ) and the agreement between Price Services and the Intermediary.

22c-2 To comply with Rule 22c-2 of the`40 Act. Price Services shall enter into agreements, on behalf of the Fund, with Intermediaries who hold shares in omnibus accounts for purposes of compliance with Rule 22c-2 of the`40 Act (" Shareholder Information Agreements "). Price Services will monitor the

omnibus accounts for unusual trading activity in accordance with the Fund`s excessive trading procedures and when unusual activity is suspected, pursuant to the Shareholder Information Agreement, Price Services shall request from the Intermediary underlying Shareholder personal and transaction data. Once received, Price Services will review the data to determine if the Fund`s excessive trading policy has been violated. Pursuant to the terms of the Shareholder Information Agreement, if Price Services determines that the Fund`s policy has been violated, Price Services shall instruct the Intermediary to restrict or prohibit future purchases of Fund shares by Shareholders identified by Price Services as having violated the policy.

Redemption Fees . To require the Intermediary to collect and remit redemption fees for applicable Funds. Price Services may enter into Redemption Fee Agreements with Intermediaries holding omnibus accounts in Funds that assess redemption fees, whereby the Intermediary agrees to assess the fees in underlying Shareholder Accounts in accordance with the Fund`s then-current prospectus at the time of the transaction subject to the fee and remit such fees to the Fund on a monthly basis or such other mutually agreed upon time. Price Services may enforce the terms of the Shareholder Information Agreements to determine whether the Intermediary has acted in accordance with the Redemption Fee Agreement.

Administrative Fee Payments . To pay Administrative Fee Payments to Intermediaries or Plans performing administrative (transfer agent) services on behalf of the Fund. The Funds have instituted a program whereby they may, in their discretion, pay an Intermediary or a Plan a fee to compensate the third party for certain expenses incurred as a result of providing administrative services to

underlying Shareholders of the Funds ( "Administrative Fee Payments" ). Each Fund authorizes Price Services to enter into, on its behalf, agreements with such Intermediaries or Plans for payment of such Administrative Fee Payments in consideration of such Plan or Intermediary`s performance of services pursuant to the Fund`s Administrative Fee Payment Program. Any payments owed under these Administrative Fee Agreements shall be the obligation of the applicable Fund, not Price Services.

3. Anti-Money Laundering Program . The Funds authorize Price Services to perform, on behalf of the Funds, Anti-Money Laundering ("AML") services in accordance with the Anti- Money Laundering Program adopted by the Funds, including the Fund`s Customer Identification Program. Price Services shall, maintain policies and procedures, and related internal controls, which are consistent with such AML Program.

Price Services is authorized to take, on behalf of the Funds, any action permitted by law and in accordance with the Fund`s AML Program in carrying out its responsibilities under the Fund`s AML Program, including rejecting purchases, freezing Shareholder accounts, restricting certain services, or closing Shareholder accounts if (a) suspicious activity is detected, (b) it is unable to verify the identity of a Shareholder, or (c) a Shareholder matches a government list of known or suspected suspicious persons.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

1. Price Services shall not be liable to any Fund for any act or failure to act by it or its agents or subcontractors on behalf of the Fund in carrying or attempting to carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement provided Price Services has acted in good faith and without negligence or willful misconduct and selected and monitored the performance of its agents and subcontractors with reasonable care.

2. The Fund shall indemnify and hold Price Services harmless from and against all losses, costs, damages, claims, actions and expenses, including reasonable expenses for legal counsel, incurred by Price Services resulting from: (i) any action or omission by Price Services or its agents or subcontractors in the performance of their duties hereunder; (ii) Price Services acting upon instructions believed by it to have been executed by a duly authorized officer of the Fund; or (iii) Price Services acting upon information provided by the Fund in form and under policies agreed to by Price Services and the Fund. Price Services shall not be entitled to such indemnification in respect of actions or omissions constituting negligence or willful misconduct of Price Services or where Price Services has not exercised reasonable care in selecting or monitoring the performance of its agents or subcontractors.

3. Except as provided in Article M of this Agreement, Price Services shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund from all losses, costs, damages, claims, actions and expenses, including reasonable expenses for legal counsel, incurred by the Fund resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Price Services or which result from Price Services` failure to exercise reasonable care in selecting or monitoring the performance of its agents

or subcontractors. The Fund shall not be entitled to such indemnification in respect of actions or omissions constituting negligence or willful misconduct of such Fund or its agents or subcontractors; unless such negligence or misconduct is attributable to Price Services.

4. In determining Price Services` liability, an isolated error or omission will normally not be deemed to constitute negligence when it is determined that:

Price Services had in place "appropriate procedures;" and

the employee(s) responsible for the error or omission had been reasonably trained and were being appropriately monitored.

No evidence or circumstances have been produced to indicate that the individual who committed the error or omission was functioning in bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct at the time of the incident.

It is understood that Price Services is not obligated to have in place separate procedures to prevent each and every conceivable type of error or omission. The term "Appropriate Procedures" shall mean procedures reasonably designed to prevent and detect errors and omissions. In determining the reasonableness of such procedures, weight will be given to such factors as are appropriate, including the prior occurrence of any similar errors or omissions when such procedures were in place and transfer agent industry standards in place at the time of the occurrence.

5. In the event either party is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of acts of God, strikes or other causes reasonably beyond its control, such party shall not be liable to the other party for any loss, cost, damage, claim, action or expense resulting from such failure to perform or otherwise from such causes.

6. In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this Article F shall apply, upon the assertion of a claim for which either party may be required to indemnify the other, the party seeking indemnification shall promptly notify the other party of such assertion, and shall keep the other party advised with respect to all developments concerning such claim. The party who may be required to indemnify shall have the option to participate with the party seeking indemnification in the defense of such claim, or to defend against said claim in its own name or in the name of the other party. The party seeking indemnification shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the other party may be required to indemnify it except with the other party`s prior written consent.

7. Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other party for consequential damages under any provision of this Agreement.

G.	Dual Interests

It is understood that some person or persons may be directors, officers, or shareholders of both the Funds and Price Services (including Price Services` affiliates), and that the existence of any such dual interest shall not affect the validity of this Agreement or of any transactions hereunder except as otherwise provided by a specific provision of applicable law.

Price Services hereby agrees to establish and maintain facilities and procedures reasonably acceptable to the Fund for safekeeping of stock certificates, check forms and facsimile signature imprinting devices, if any; and for the preparation or use, and for keeping account of, such certificates, forms and devices.

I.	References to Price Services

Each Fund agrees not to circulate any printed matter which contains any reference to Price Services without the prior approval of Price Services, excepting solely such printed matter that merely identifies Price Services as agent of the Fund. The Fund will submit printed matter requiring approval to Price Services in draft form, allowing sufficient time for review by Price Services and its legal counsel prior to any deadline for printing.

J.	Compliance with Governmental Rules and Regulations

Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and except for the accuracy of information furnished to the Fund by Price Services, each Fund assumes full responsibility for the preparation, contents and distribution of its prospectuses and compliance with all applicable requirements of the`40 Act, the xd4 34 Act, the xd4 33 Act, and any other laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Fund. Price Services shall be responsible for complying with all laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over transfer agents and their activities and cooperating with respect to examinations and requests from such governmental authorities.

K.	Ownership of Software and Related Material

All computer programs, magnetic tapes, written procedures and similar items purchased and/or developed and used by Price Services in performance of the Agreement shall be the property of Price Services and will not become the property of the Fund.

L.	Quality Service Standards

Price Services and the Fund may from time to time agree to certain quality service standards, as well as incentives and penalties with respect to Price Services` hereunder.

M.	As Of Transactions

For purposes of this Article M, the term "Transaction" shall mean any single or "related transaction" (as defined below) involving the purchase or redemption of Shares (including exchanges) that is processed at a time other than the time of the computation of the Fund`s net asset value per share next computed after receipt of any such transaction order by Price Services due to an act or omission of Price Services. "As Of Processing" refers to the processing of these Transactions. All As Of Processing may only be performed in accordance with the requirements of Rule 22c-1 of the`40 Act. Price Services is responsible for monitoring As Of Transactions procedures that set forth the circumstances under which As Of Transactions are permitted. If more than one Transaction ( "Related Transaction" ) in the Fund is caused by or occurs as a result of the same act or omission, such transactions shall be aggregated with other transactions in the Fund and be considered as one Transaction.

Reporting

Price Services shall:

1. Utilize a system to identify all Transactions, and shall compute the net effect of

such Transactions upon the Fund on a daily, monthly and rolling 365 day basis. The monthly and rolling 365 day periods are hereafter referred to as "Cumulative."

2. Supply to the Fund, from time to time as mutually agreed upon, a report summarizing the Transactions and the daily and Cumulative net effects of such Transactions both in terms of aggregate dilution and loss ( "Dilution" ) or gain and negative dilution ( "Gain" ) experienced by the Fund, and the impact such Gain or Dilution has had upon the Fund`s net asset value per Share.

3. With respect to any Transaction which causes Dilution to the Fund of $100,000 or more (unless Price Services fully compensates the Fund for any Dilution), immediately provide the Fund: (i) a report identifying the Transaction and the Dilution resulting therefrom, (ii) the reason such Transaction was processed as described above, and (iii) the action that Price Services has or intends to take to prevent the reoccurrence of such as of processing ( "Report" ).

Liability

1. It will be the normal practice of the Funds not to hold Price Services liable with respect to any Transaction that causes Dilution to any single Fund of less than $25,000. Price Services will, however, closely monitor for each Fund the daily and Cumulative Gain/Dilution that is caused by Transactions of less than $25,000. When the Cumulative Dilution to any Fund exceeds 3/10 of 1% net asset value per share, Price Services, in consultation with counsel to the Fund, will make appropriate inquiry to determine whether it should take any remedial action. Price

Services will report to the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund ( "Board" ) any action it has taken.

2. Where a Transaction causes Dilution to a Fund equal to or greater than $25,000 ( "Significant Transaction" ), but less than $100,000, Price Services will review with Counsel to the Fund the circumstances surrounding the underlying Transaction to determine whether the Transaction was caused by or occurred as a result of a negligent act or omission by Price Services. If it is determined that the Dilution is the result of a negligent action or omission by Price Services, Price Services and outside counsel for the Fund will negotiate settlement. Significant Transactions equal to or greater than $25,000 will be reported to the Audit Committee at least annually (unless the settlement fully compensates the Fund for any Dilution). Any Significant Transaction, however, causing Dilution in excess of the lesser of $100,000 or a penny per share (unless Price Services fully compensates the Fund for any Dilution) will be promptly reported to the Board and resolved at the next scheduled Board Meeting. Settlement for Significant Transactions causing Dilution of $100,000 or more will not be entered into until approved by the Board . For Related Transactions for Funds with more than one class, the amount of Gain or Dilution resulting from an As Of Transaction shall be determined for each class; provided, however, that for purposes of determining Services` liability for reimbursement of Dilution to any class, Gains in one class may be used to offset Dilution in another class of the same Fund. The factors to consider in making any determination regarding the settlement of a Significant Transaction would include but not be limited to:

Procedures and controls adopted by Price Services to prevent As Of Processing;

Whether such procedures and controls were being followed at the time of the Significant Transaction;

The absolute and relative volume of all transactions processed by Price Services on the day of the Significant Transaction;

The number of Transactions processed by Price Services during prior relevant periods, and the net Dilution/Gain as a result of all such Transactions to the Fund and to all other Price Funds;

The prior response of Price Services to recommendations made by the Funds regarding improvement to Price Services` As Of Processing procedures.

3. In determining Price Services` liability with respect to a Significant Transaction, Section 4 of Article F of this Agreement will be applied.

As Of Transactions - Intermediaries

If an As Of Transaction is performed by an Intermediary, which is designated by the Fund to received orders for Fund Shares, Price Services shall cause such Intermediary to promptly reimburse the Fund for any Dilution caused by such As Of Transaction; provided, however, Price Services shall not be obligated to seek reimbursement from such Intermediary if the Dilution is less than $100.

N.	Term and Termination of Agreement

This Agreement shall run for a period of one (1) year from the date first written above and will be renewed from year to year thereafter unless terminated by either party as provided hereunder.

This Agreement may be terminated by the Fund upon one hundred twenty (120) days` written notice to Price Services; and by Price Services, upon three hundred sixty-five (365) days` written notice to the Fund.

Upon termination hereof, the Fund shall pay to Price Services such compensation as may be due as of the date of such termination, and shall likewise reimburse for out-of- pocket expenses related to its services hereunder.

O.	Notice

Any notice as required by this Agreement shall be sufficiently given (i) when sent to an authorized person of the other party at the address of such party set forth above or at such other address as such party may from time to time specify in writing to the other party; or (ii) as otherwise agreed upon by appropriate officers of the parties hereto.

P.	Assignment

Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned either voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, provided this shall not preclude Price Services from employing such agents and subcontractors as it deems appropriate to carry out its obligations set forth hereunder.

Q.	Amendment/Interpretive Provisions

The parties by mutual written agreement may amend this Agreement at any time. In addition, in connection with the operation of this Agreement, Price Services and the Fund may agree from time to time on such provisions interpretive of or in addition to the provisions of this Agreement as may in their joint opinion be consistent with the general tenor of this Agreement. Any such interpretive or additional provisions are to be signed by all parties and annexed hereto, but no such provision shall contravene any applicable Federal or state law or regulation and no such interpretive or additional provision shall be deemed to be an amendment of this Agreement.

R.	Further Assurances

Each party agrees to perform such further acts and execute such further documents as are necessary to effectuate the purposes hereof.

S.	Maryland Law to Apply

This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions thereof interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of Maryland.

T.	Merger of Agreement

This Agreement, including the attached Appendices and Schedules supersedes any prior agreement with respect to the subject hereof, whether oral or written.

U.	Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto on any number of counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instruments.

V.	The Parties

All references herein to "the Fund" are to each of the Funds listed on Appendix A individually, as if this Agreement were between such individual Fund and Price Services. In the case of a series Fund or trust or a separate class of shares, all references to "the Fund" are to the individual series, portfolio or class of such Fund or trust, or to such Fund or trust on behalf of the individual series, portfolio or class as appropriate. The "Fund" also includes any T. Rowe Price Funds that may be established after the execution of this Agreement. Any reference in this

Agreement to "the parties" shall mean Price Services and such other individual Fund as to which the matter pertains.

W.	Directors, Trustees and Shareholders and Massachusetts Business Trust

It is understood and is expressly stipulated that neither the holders of Shares in the Fund nor any Directors or Trustees of the Fund shall be personally liable hereunder.

With respect to any Fund which is a party to this Agreement and which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust, the term "Fund" means and refers to the trustees from time to time serving under the applicable trust agreement (Declaration of Trust) of such Trust as the same may be amended from time to time. It is expressly agreed that the obligations of any such Trust hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents or employees of the Trust, personally, but bind only the trust property of the Trust, as provided in the Declaration of Trust of the Trust. The execution and delivery of this Agreement has been authorized by the trustees and signed by an authorized officer of the Trust, acting as such, and neither such authorization by such Trustees nor such execution and delivery by such officer shall be deemed to have been made by any of them, but shall bind only the trust property of the Trust as provided in its Declaration of Trust.

X.	Captions

The captions in the Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or limit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed in their names and on their behalf under their seals by and through their duly authorized officers.

ROWE PRICE ASSOCIATES, INC., a Maryland corporation having its principal office and place of business at 100 East Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202 ( "Price Associates" ), and each Fund which is listed on Appendix A (as such Appendix may be amended from time to time) and which evidences its agreement to be bound hereby by executing a copy of this Agreement (each such Fund individually hereinafter referred to as "the Fund" , whose definition may be found in Article T);

WHEREAS, Price Associates has the capability of providing the Funds with certain accounting services ( "Accounting Services" );

WHEREAS, the Fund desires to appoint Price Associates to provide these Accounting Services and Price Associates desires to accept such appointment; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund (the "Board" ) has authorized the Fund to utilize various pricing services for the purpose of providing to Price Associates securities prices for the calculation of the Fund`s net asset value.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

A.	Terms of Appointment/Duties of Price Associates

Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the Fund hereby employs and appoints Price Associates to provide, and Price Associates agrees to provide, the Accounting Services set forth in this Section A. It is agreed by the parties that Price Associates may subcontract or jointly contract with other parties, on behalf of the Funds, to perform certain of the functions and services described herein.

3. Maintain for each Fund all records relating to the Fund`s income and expenses;

4. Provide for the daily valuation of each Fund`s portfolio securities and the computation of each Fund`s daily net asset value per share ( "NAV" ). Such daily valuations shall be made in accordance with the valuation policies established by each of the Fund's Board including, but not limited to, the utilization of such pricing valuation sources and/or pricing services as determined by the Boards.

Price Associates shall have no liability for any losses or damages incurred by the Fund as a result of erroneous portfolio security evaluations provided by such designated sources and/or pricing services; provided that, Price Associates reasonably believes the prices are accurate, has adhered to its normal verification control procedures, and has otherwise met the standard of care as set forth in Article G of this Agreement;

5. Provide daily cash flow and transaction status information to each Fund`s adviser;

6. Authorize the payment of Fund expenses, either through instruction of custodial bank or utilization of custodian`s automated transfer system;

7. Prepare for each Fund such financial information that is reasonably necessary for shareholder reports, reports to the Board and to the officers of the Fund, reports to the Securities and Exchange Commission ( "SEC" ), the Internal Revenue Service ( "IRS" ) and other Federal and state regulatory agencies;

8. Provide each Fund with such advice that may be reasonably necessary to properly account for all financial transactions and to maintain the Fund's accounting procedures and records so as to insure compliance with generally accepted accounting and tax practices and rules;

9. Maintain for each Fund all records that may be reasonably required in connection with the audit performed by each Fund's independent accountant, the SEC, the IRS or such other Federal or state regulatory agencies; and

10. Cooperate with each Fund`s independent public accountants and take all reasonable action in the performance of its obligations under the Agreement to assure that the necessary information is made available to such accountants for the expression of their opinion without any qualification as to the scope of their examination including, but not limited to, their opinion included in each such Fund`s annual report on Form N-CSR and annual amendment to Form N-1A.

11. Maintain adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide complete and accurate financial information and disclosures that are certified by officers of the Funds. Provide sub-certifications, as requested by the officers of the Funds, for the adequacy of such controls and the completeness and accuracy of information included in Form N-CSR, Form N-Q, or any other form that may require certification.

B.	Fees and Expenses

For the accounting services performed hereunder, the Fund shall pay the fees and expenses as mutually agreed upon by both parties.

C.	Representations and Warrantees of Price Associates

Price Associates represents and warrants to the Fund that:

1. It is a corporation duly organized and existing in good standing under the laws of Maryland.

2. It is duly qualified to carry on its business in Maryland.

3. It is empowered under applicable laws and by its charter and By-Laws to enter into and perform this Agreement.

4. All requisite corporate proceedings have been taken to authorize it to enter into and perform this Agreement.

5. It has, and will continue to have, access to the necessary facilities, equipment and personnel to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

D.	Representations and Warranties of the Fund

The Fund represents and warrants to Price Associates that:

1. It is a corporation or business trust, as the case may be, duly organized and existing and in good standing under the laws of Maryland or Massachusetts, as the case may be.

2. It is empowered under applicable laws and by its Articles of Incorporation or Declaration of Trust, as the case may be, and By-Laws and all required proceedings have been taken to authorize it to enter into and perform this Agreement.

E.	Ownership of Software and Related Material

All computer programs, magnetic tapes, written procedures, and similar items purchased and/or developed and used by Price Associates in performance of this Agreement shall be the property of Price Associates and will not become the property of the Funds.

F.	Quality Service Standards

Price Associates and the Fund may, from time to time, agree to certain quality service standards, with respect to Price Associates` services hereunder.

G.	Standard of Care/Indemnification

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

1. Where an NAV error results in loss or dilution to a Fund of less than $10,000, the determination of liability for the error will be made by Price Associates. Where an NAV error results in loss or dilution to a Fund of $10,000 or more but less than $100,000, liability for the error will be resolved through negotiations between Fund Counsel and Price Associates. Where an NAV error results in loss or dilution to a Fund of the lesser of 1/2 of 1% of NAV or $100,000

or more, the error will be promptly reported to the Board (unless the Fund is fully compensated for the loss or dilution), provided that final settlement with respect to such errors will not be made until approved by the Board. For Funds with more than one class, the amount of loss or dilution resulting from an NAV error shall be determined for each class; provided, however, that for purposes of determining Price Associates` liability for reimbursement of loss or dilution to any class, gains in one class may be used to offset loss or dilution in another class of the same Fund where the NAV errors resulted from the same act or omission. A summary of all NAV errors and their effect on the Funds will be reported to the Funds` Audit Committee on an annual basis. In determining the liability of Price Associates for an NAV error, an error or omission will not be deemed to constitute negligence when it is determined that:

Price Associates had in place "appropriate procedures and an adequate system of internal controls;"

the employee(s) responsible for the error or omission had been reasonably trained and was being appropriately monitored; and

no evidence or circumstances have been produced to indicate that the individual who committed the error or omission was functioning in bad faith, with gross negligence or willful misconduct at the time of the incident.

It is understood that Price Associates is not obligated to have in place separate procedures to prevent each and every conceivable type of error or omission. The term "appropriate procedures and adequate system of internal controls" shall mean procedures and controls reasonably designed to prevent and detect errors and omissions. In determining the reasonableness of such procedures and controls, weight will be given to such factors as are appropriate, including the prior occurrence of any similar errors or omissions when such procedures and controls were in place and fund accounting industry standards in place at the time of the error.

2. The Fund shall indemnify and hold Price Associates harmless from and against all losses, costs, damages, claims, actions, and expenses, including reasonable expenses for legal

counsel, incurred by Price Associates resulting from: (i) any action or omission by Price Associates or its agents or subcontractors in the performance of their duties hereunder; (ii) Price Associates acting upon instructions believed by it to have been executed by a duly authorized officer of the Fund; or (iii) Price Associates acting upon information provided by the Fund in form and under policies agreed to by Price Associates and the Fund. Price Associates shall not be entitled to such indemnification in respect of actions or omissions constituting negligence or willful misconduct of Price Associates or where Price Associates has not exercised reasonable care in selecting or monitoring the performance of its agents or subcontractors.

3. Price Associates shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund from all losses, costs, damages, claims, actions and expenses, including reasonable expenses for legal counsel, incurred by the Fund resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Price Associates or which result from Price Associates` failure to exercise reasonable care in selecting or monitoring the performance of its agents or subcontractors. The Fund shall not be entitled to such indemnification with respect to actions or omissions constituting negligence or willful misconduct of such Fund or its agents or subcontractors; unless such negligence or misconduct is attributable to Price Associates.

4. In the event either party is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of acts of God, strikes or other causes reasonably beyond its control, such party shall not be liable to the other party for any loss, cost, damage, claim, action or expense resulting from such failure to perform or otherwise from such causes.

5. In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this Article G shall apply, upon the assertion of a claim for which either party may be required to indemnify the other, the party seeking indemnification shall promptly notify the other party of such assertion, and shall keep the other party advised with respect to all developments concerning such claim. The party who may be required to indemnify shall have the option to participate with the party seeking indemnification in the defense of such claim, or to defend against said claim in its own name or in

the name of the other party. The party seeking indemnification shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the other party may be required to indemnify it except with the other party`s prior written consent.

6. Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other party for consequential damages under any provision of this Agreement.

H.	Dual Interests

It is understood that some person or persons may be directors, officers, or shareholders of both the Fund and Price Associates (including Price Associates` affiliates), and that the existence of any such dual interest shall not affect the validity of this Agreement or of any transactions hereunder except as otherwise provided by a specific provision of applicable law.

I.	Documentation

As requested by Price Associates, the Fund shall promptly furnish to Price Associates such documents as it may reasonably request and as are necessary for Price Associates to carry out its responsibilities hereunder.

J.	Recordkeeping/Confidentiality

1. Price Associates shall keep records relating to the services to be performed hereunder, in the form and manner as it may deem advisable, provided that Price Associates shall keep all records in such form and in such manner as required by applicable law, including the Investment Company Act of 1940 ( "the xd4 40 Act" ) and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ( "the xd4 34 Act" ).

2. Price Associates and the Fund agree that all books, records, information and data pertaining to the business of the other party which are exchanged or received pursuant to the negotiation or the carrying out of this Agreement shall remain confidential, and shall not be voluntarily disclosed to any other person, except: (a) after prior notification to and approval in writing by the other party hereto, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not

be withheld where Price Associates or Fund may be exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to comply; (b) when requested to divulge such information by duly constituted governmental authorities; or (c) after so requested by the other party hereto.

K.	Compliance with Governmental Rules and Regulations

Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and except for the accuracy of information furnished to the Funds by Price Associates, each Fund assumes full responsibility for the preparation, contents and distribution of its prospectuses, and for complying with all applicable requirements of the Act, the xd4 34 Act, the Securities Act of 1933 ( "the xd4 33 Act" ), and any laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Funds.

L.	Term and Termination of Agreement

1. This Agreement shall run for a period of one (1) year from the date first written above and will be renewed from year to year thereafter unless terminated by either party as provided hereunder.

2. This Agreement may be terminated by the Fund upon sixty (60) days` written notice to Price Associates; and by Price Associates, upon three hundred sixty-five (365) days` written notice to the Fund unless a shorter termination period is mutually agreed upon by the parties.

3. Upon termination hereof, the Fund shall pay to Price Associates such compensation as may be due as of the date of such termination, and shall likewise reimburse for out-of-pocket expenses related to its services hereunder.

M.	Notice

N.	Assignment

Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned either voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, provided this shall not preclude Price Associates from employing such agents and subcontractors as it deems appropriate to carry out its obligations set forth hereunder.

O.	Amendment/Interpretive Provisions

The parties by mutual written agreement may amend this Agreement at any time. In addition, in connection with the operation of this Agreement, Price Associates and the Fund may agree from time to time on such provisions interpretive of or in addition to the provisions of this Agreement as may in their joint opinion be consistent with the general tenor of this Agreement. Any such interpretive or additional provisions are to be signed by all parties and annexed hereto, but no such provision shall contravene any applicable Federal or state law or regulation and no such interpretive or additional provision shall be deemed to be an amendment of this Agreement.

P.	Further Assurances

Each party agrees to perform such further acts and execute such further documents as are necessary to effectuate the purposes hereof.

Q.	Maryland Law to Apply

This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions thereof interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of Maryland.

S.	Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto on any number of counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instruments.

2. It is empowered under applicable laws and by its charter and by-laws to enter into and perform this Agreement.

5. It has and will continue to have access to the necessary facilities, equipment and personnel to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

5. It is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a Transfer Agent pursuant to Section 17A of the xd4 34 Act.

E.	Representations and Warranties of the Fund

The Fund represents and warrants to RPS that:

1. It is a corporation or business trust duly organized and existing and in good standing under the laws of Maryland, or Massachusetts, as the case may be.

2. It is empowered under applicable laws and by its Articles of Incorporation or Declaration of Trust, as the case may be, and By-Laws to enter into and perform this Agreement.

5. A registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 (the "`33 Act" ) is currently effective and will remain effective, and appropriate state securities law filing have been made and will continue to be made, with respect to all shares of the Fund being offered for sale.

F.	Standard of Care/Indemnification

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

1. RPS shall not be liable to the Fund for any act or failure to act by it or its agents or subcontractors on behalf of the Fund in carrying or attempting to carry out the terms and provisions of this Agreement provided RPS has acted in good faith and without negligence or willful misconduct and selected and monitored the performance of its agents and subcontractors with reasonable care.

2. The Fund shall indemnify and hold RPS harmless from and against all losses, costs, damages, claims, actions and expenses, including reasonable expenses for legal counsel, incurred by RPS resulting from: (i) any action or omission by RPS or its agents or subcontractors in the performance of their duties hereunder; (ii) RPS acting upon instructions reasonably believed by it to have been executed by a duly authorized officer of the Fund; or (iii) RPS acting upon information provided by the Fund in form and under policies agreed to by RPS and the Fund. RPS shall not be entitled to such indemnification in respect of actions or omissions constituting negligence or willful misconduct of RPS or where RPS has not exercised reasonable care in selecting or monitoring the performance of its agents or subcontractors.

3. Except as provided in Article K of this Agreement, RPS shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund from all losses, costs, damages, claims, actions and expenses, including reasonable expenses for legal counsel, incurred by the Fund resulting from negligence or willful misconduct of RPS or which result from RPS` failure to exercise reasonable care in selecting or monitoring the performance of its agents or subcontractors. The Fund shall

not be entitled to such indemnification in respect of actions or omissions constituting negligence or willful misconduct of such Fund or its agents or subcontractors; unless such negligence or misconduct is attributable to RPS.

4. In determining RPS` liability, an isolated error or omission will normally not be deemed to constitute negligence when it is determined that:

RPS had in place "appropriate procedures;"

the employees responsible for the error or omission had been reasonably trained and were being appropriately monitored; and

no evidence or circumstances have been produced to indicate that the individual who committed the error or omission was functioning in bad faith, gross negligence or willful misconduct at the time of the incident.

It is understood that RPS is not obligated to have in place separate procedures to prevent each and every conceivable type of error or omission. The term "appropriate procedures" shall mean procedures reasonably designed to prevent and detect errors and omissions. In determining the reasonableness of such procedures, weight will be given to such factors as are appropriate, including the prior occurrence of any similar errors or omissions when such procedures were in place and transfer agent industry standards in place at the time of the occurrence.

5. In the event either party is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of acts of God, strikes or other causes reasonably beyond its control, such party shall not be liable to the other party for any loss, cost, damage, claims, actions or expense resulting from such failure to perform or otherwise from such causes.

7. Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other party for consequential damages under any provision of this Agreement.

G.	Dual Interests

It is understood that some person or persons may be directors, officers, or shareholders of both RPS and the Fund and that the existence of any such dual interest shall not affect the validity of this Agreement or of any transactions hereunder except as otherwise provided by a specific provision of applicable law.

H.	Documentation

1. As requested by RPS, the Fund shall promptly furnish to RPS the following:

a. copy of the resolution of the Directors/Trustees of the Fund authorizing the appointment of RPS and the execution and delivery of this Agreement;

b. A copy of the Articles of Incorporation or Declaration of Trust, as the case may be, and By-Laws of the Fund and all amendments thereto;

c. An opinion of counsel for the Fund with respect to the validity of the stock, the number of Shares authorized, the status of redeemed Shares, and the number of Shares with respect to which a Registration Statement has been filed and is in effect; and

d. A copy of the Fund`s current and new prospectuses and shareholder reports issued by the Fund.

The delivery of any such document to either party hereto for the purpose of any other agreement to which the Fund and RPS are or were parties shall be deemed to be delivery for the purposes of this Agreement.

2. As requested by RPS, the Fund will also furnish to RPS from time to time the following documents:

a. Each resolution of the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund authorizing the original issue of its shares;

b. Each Registration Statement filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission and amendments and orders thereto in effect with respect to the sale of shares with respect to the Fund;

c. A certified copy of each amendment to the Articles of Incorporation or Declaration of Trust, and the By Laws of the Fund;

d. Certified copies of each vote of the Board of Directors/Trustees authorizing officers to give instructions to the Fund; and

e. Such other documents or opinions which RPS, in its discretion, may reasonably deem necessary or appropriate in the proper performance of its duties under this Agreement.

3. RPS hereby agrees to establish and maintain facilities and procedures reasonably acceptable to the Fund for safekeeping of check forms and facsimile signature imprinting devices, if any, and for the preparation or use, and for keeping account of, such forms and devices.

I.	Recordkeeping/Confidentiality

1. RPS shall keep records relating to the services to be performed hereunder, in the form and manner as it may deem advisable, provided that RPS shall keep all records in such form and in such manner as required by applicable law, including the `40 Act and the xd4 34 Act.

2. RPS and the Fund agree that all books, records, information and data pertaining to the business of the other party which are exchanged or received pursuant to the negotiation or the carrying out of this Agreement shall remain confidential, and shall not be voluntarily disclosed to any other person, except: (a) after prior notification to and approval in writing by the other party hereto, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not be withheld where RPS or the Fund may be exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to comply; (b) when requested to divulge such information by duly constituted governmental authorities; (c) after so requested by the other party hereto; or (d) by the Administrator.

J.	Ownership of Software and Related Material

All computer programs, magnetic tapes, written procedures and similar items purchased and/or developed and used by RPS in performance of the Agreement shall be the property of RPS and will not become the property of the Fund.

K.	As Of Transactions

For purposes of this Article K, the term "Transaction" shall mean any single or "related transaction" (as defined below) involving the purchase or redemption of shares (including exchanges) processed at a time other than the time of the computation of the Fund`s net asset value per share next computed after receipt of any such transaction order by RPS due to an act or omission of RPS. "As Of Processing" refers to the processing of these Transactions. All As Of Processing may only be performed in accordance with the requirements of Rule 22c-1 of the `40 Act. RPS is responsible for monitoring As Of Transactions procedures that set forth the circumstances under which As Of Transactions are permitted. If more than one Transaction ( "Related Transaction" ) in the Fund is caused by or occurs as a result of the same act or omission, such transactions shall be aggregated with other transactions in the Fund and be considered as one Transaction.

1. Reporting

RPS shall:

a. Utilize a system to identify all Transactions, and shall compute the net effect of such Transactions upon the Fund on a daily, monthly and rolling 365 day basis. The monthly and rolling 365 day periods are hereinafter referred to as "Cumulative."

b. Supply to the Fund, from time to time as mutually agreed upon, a report summarizing the Transactions and the daily and Cumulative net effects of such Transactions both in terms of aggregate dilution and loss ( "Dilution" ) or gain and negative dilution ( "Gain" ) experienced by the Fund, and the impact such Gain or Dilution has had upon the Fund`s net asset value per share.

c. With respect to any Transaction which causes Dilution to the Fund of $100,000 or more (unless RPS fully compensates the Fund for any Dilution), immediately provide the Fund: (i) a report identifying the Transaction and the Dilution resulting therefrom, (ii) the reason such Transaction was processed as described above, and (iii) the action that RPS has or intends to take to prevent the reoccurrence of such as of processing ( "Report" ).

2. Liability

a. It will be the normal practice of the Fund not to hold RPS liable with respect to any Transaction which causes Dilution to any single Fund of less than $25,000. RPS will, however, closely monitor for each Fund the daily and Cumulative Gain/Dilution which is caused by Transactions of less than $25,000. When the Cumulative Dilution to any Fund exceeds 3/10 of 1% of net asset value per share, RPS, in consultation with counsel to the Fund, will make appropriate inquiry to determine whether it should take any remedial action. RPS will report to the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund ( "Board" ), as appropriate, any action it has taken.

b. Where a Transaction causes Dilution to a Fund equal to or greater than $25,000 ( "Significant Transaction" ) but less than $100,000, RPS will review with Counsel to the Fund the circumstances surrounding the underlying Significant Transaction to determine whether the Significant Transaction was caused by or occurred as a result of a negligent act or omission by RPS. If it is determined that the Dilution is the result of a negligent action or omission by RPS, RPS and outside counsel for the Fund will negotiate settlement. All such Significant Transactions will be reported to the Audit Committee at least annually (unless the settlement fully compensates the Fund for any Dilution). Any Significant Transaction, however, causing Dilution in excess of the lesser of $100,000 or a penny per share will be promptly reported to the Board and resolved at the next scheduled Board Meeting (unless RPS fully compensates the Fund for any Dilution). Settlement for Significant Transactions causing Dilution of $100,000 or more will not be entered into until approved by the Board. For Related Transactions involving Funds with more than one class, the amount of Gain or Dilution resulting from an As Of Transaction shall be determined for each class; provided, however, that for purposes of determining RPS`s liability for reimbursement of any Dilution to a class, Gains in one class may be used to offset Dilution in another class of the same Fund. The factors to consider in making any determination regarding the settlement of a Significant Transaction would include but not be limited to:

i. Procedures and controls adopted by RPS to prevent As Of Processing;

ii. Whether such procedures and controls were being followed at the time of the Significant Transaction;

iii. The absolute and relative volume of all transactions processed by RPS on the day of the Significant Transaction;

iv. The number of Transactions processed by RPS during prior relevant periods, and the net Dilution/Gain as a result of all such Significant Transactions to the Fund and to all other Funds; and

v. The prior response of RPS to recommendations made by the Funds regarding improvement to RPS` As Of Processing procedures.

c. In determining RPS` liability with respect to a Significant Transaction, Section 4 of Article F of this Agreement will be applied.

L.	Term and Termination of Agreement

1. This Agreement shall run for a period of one (1) year from the date first written above and will be renewed from year to year thereafter unless terminated by either party as provided hereunder.

2. This Agreement may be terminated by the Funds upon one hundred twenty (120) days` prior written notice to RPS; and by RPS, upon three hundred sixty-five (365) days` prior written notice to the Fund unless a shorter termination period is mutually agreed upon by the parties.

3. Upon termination hereof, the Fund shall pay to RPS such compensation as may be due as of the date of such termination, and shall likewise reimburse for out-of-pocket expenses related to its services hereunder.

M.	Notice

N.	Assignment

O.	Amendment/Interpretive Provisions

The parties by mutual written agreement may amend this Agreement at any time. In addition, in connection with the operation of this Agreement, RPS and the Fund may agree from time to time on such provisions interpretive of or in addition to the provisions of this Agreement as in their joint opinion may be consistent with the general tenor of this Agreement. Any such interpretive or additional provisions are to be signed by all parties and annexed hereto, but no such provision shall contravene any applicable federal or state law or regulation and no such interpretive or additional provision shall be deemed to be an amendment of this Agreement.

P.	Further Assurances

Each party agrees to perform such further acts and execute such further documents as are necessary to effectuate the purposes hereof.

Q.	Maryland Law to Apply

This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions thereof interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of Maryland.

R.	Merger of Agreement

This Agreement, including the attached Schedule supersede any prior agreement with respect to the subject hereof, whether oral or written.

S.	Counterparts

This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.

T.	The Parties

All references herein to "the Fund" are to each of the Funds listed on Appendix A individually, as if this Agreement were between such individual Fund and RPS. In the case of a series Fund or trust or Fund with separate classes, all references to "the Fund" are to the individual series or class of such Fund or trust, or to such Fund or trust on behalf of the individual series or class, as appropriate. The "Fund" also includes any T. Rowe Price Fund which may be established after the date of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to "the parties" shall mean RPS and such other individual Fund as to which the matter pertains.

U.	Directors, Trustees and Shareholders and Massachusetts Business Trust

It is understood and is expressly stipulated that neither the holders of shares in the Fund nor any Directors or Trustees of the Fund shall be personally liable hereunder. With respect to

any Fund which is a party to this Agreement and which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust, the term "Fund" means and refers to the trustees from time to time serving under the applicable trust agreement (Declaration of Trust) of such Trust as the same may be amended from time to time. It is expressly agreed that the obligations of any such Trust hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents or employees of the Trust, personally, but bind only the trust property of the Trust, as provided in the Declaration of Trust of the Trust. The execution and delivery of this Agreement has been authorized by the Trustees and signed by an authorized officer of the Trust, acting as such, and neither such authorization by such Trustees nor such execution and delivery by such officer shall be deemed to have been made by any of them, but shall bind only the trust property of the Trust as provided in its Declaration of Trust.

V.	Captions

The captions in the Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or limit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed in their names and on their behalf under their seals by and through their duly authorized officers.

CODE OF ETHICS AND CONDUCT

T. ROWE PRICE GROUP, INC.

AND ITS AFFILIATES

T. ROWE PRICE GROUP, INC.

STATEMENT OF POLICY

SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS

BACKGROUND INFORMATION .

Legal Requirement . In accordance with the requirements of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the " Exchange Act "), the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, the Insider Trading and Securities Fraud Enforcement Act of 1988, and the various United Kingdom and other jurisdictions` laws and regulations, Price Group and the mutual funds (" Price Funds ") which its affiliates manage have adopted this Statement of Policy on Securities Transactions (" Statement ").

Price Advisers' Fiduciary Position . As investment advisers, the Price Advisers are in a fiduciary position which requires them to act with an eye only to the benefit of their clients, avoiding those situations which might place, or appear to place, the interests of the Price Advisers or their officers, directors and employees in conflict with the interests of clients.

Purpose of Statement . The Statement was developed to help guide Price Group's employees and independent directors and the independent directors of the Price Funds and the T. Rowe Price Savings Bank (" Savings Bank ") in the conduct of their personal investments and to:

eliminate the possibility of a transaction occurring that the SEC or other regulatory bodies would view as illegal, such as Front Running ( see definition below);

avoid situations where it might appear that Price Group or the Price Funds or any of their officers, directors, employees, or other personnel had personally benefited at the expense of a client or fund shareholder or taken inappropriate advantage of their fiduciary positions; and

prevent, as well as detect, the misuse of material, non public information.

Those subject to the Code, including the independent directors of Price Group, the Price Funds and the Savings Bank, are urged to consider the reasons for the adoption of this Statement. Price Group's and the Price Funds' reputations could be adversely affected as the result of even a single transaction considered questionable in light of the fiduciary duties of the Price Advisers and the independent directors of the Price Funds.

Front Running. Front Running is illegal. It is generally defined as the purchase or sale of a security by an officer, director or employee of an investment adviser or mutual fund in anticipation of and prior to the adviser effecting similar transactions for its clients in order to take advantage of or avoid changes in market prices effected by client transactions.

QUESTIONS ABOUT THE STATEMENT . You are urged to seek the advice of the Chief Compliance Officer TRPA, the Chairperson of the Ethics Committee (U.S.-based personnel), the TRP International Compliance Team (International personnel), or Code Compliance in Baltimore (all locations) when you have questions as to the application of this Statement to individual circumstances.

EXCESSIVE TRADING AND MARKET TIMING OF MUTUAL FUND SHARES. The issue of excessive trading and market timing by mutual fund shareholders is a serious one and is not unique to T. Rowe Price. Employees may not engage in trading of shares of a Price Fund that is inconsistent with the prospectus of that Fund.

Excessive or short-term trading in fund shares may disrupt management of a fund and raise its costs. The Board of Directors/Trustees of the Price Funds have adopted a policy to deter excessive and short-term trading (the " Policy "), which applies to persons trading directly with T. Rowe Price and indirectly through intermediaries. Under this Policy, T. Rowe Price may bar excessive and short-term traders from purchasing shares.

This Policy is set forth in each Fund`s prospectus, which governs all trading activity in the Fund regardless of whether you are holding T. Rowe Price Fund shares as a retail investor or through your T. Rowe Price U.S. Retirement Program account.

Although the Fund may issue a warning letter regarding excessive trading or market timing, any trade activity in violation of the Policy will also be reviewed by the Chief Compliance Officer, who will refer instances to the Ethics Committee as he or she feels appropriate. The Ethics Committee, based on its review, may take disciplinary action, including suspension of trading privileges, forfeiture of profits or the amount of losses avoided, and termination of employment, as it deems appropriate.

Employees are also expected to abide by trading restrictions imposed by other funds as described in their prospectuses. If you violate the trading restrictions of a non-Price Fund, the Ethics Committee may impose the same penalties available for violation of the Price Funds excessive trading Policy.

PERSONS SUBJECT TO STATEMENT . The provisions of this Statement apply as described below to the following persons and entities. Each person and entity (except the independent directors of Price Group and the Savings Bank) is classified as either an Access Person or a Non- Access Person as described below. The provisions of this Statement may also apply to an Access Person's or Non-Access Person's spouse, minor children, and certain other relatives, as further described on page 5-5 of this Statement. All Access Persons except the independent directors of the Price Funds are subject to all provisions of this Statement except certain restrictions on purchases in initial public offerings that apply only to Investment Personnel. The independent directors of the Price Funds are not subject to prior transaction clearance requirements and are subject to modified reporting as described on p. 5-20. Non-Access Persons are subject to the general principles of the Statement and its reporting requirements, but are only required to receive prior transaction clearance for transactions in Price Group stock. The persons and entities covered by this Statement are:

Price Group . Price Group, each of its subsidiaries and affiliates, and their retirement plans.

Employee Partnerships. Partnerships such as Pratt Street Ventures.

Personnel . Each officer, inside director and employee of Price Group and its subsidiaries and affiliates, including T. Rowe Price Investment Services, Inc., the principal underwriter of the Price Funds.

Certain Temporary Workers. These workers include:

All temporary workers hired on the Price Group payroll (" TRP Temporaries ");

All agency temporaries whose assignments at Price Group exceed four weeks or whose cumulative assignments exceed eight weeks over a twelve-month period;

All independent or agency-provided consultants whose assignments exceed four weeks or whose cumulative assignments exceed eight weeks over a twelve-month period and whose work is closely related to the ongoing work of Price Group's employees (versus project work that stands apart from ongoing work); and

Any contingent worker whose assignment is more than casual in nature or who will be exposed to the kinds of information and situations that would create conflicts on matters covered in the Code.

Retired Employees . Retired employees of Price Group who receive investment research information from one or more of the Price Advisers will be subject to this Statement.

Independent Directors of Price Group, the Savings Bank and the Price Funds. The independent directors of Price Group include those directors of Price Group who are neither officers nor employees of Price Group or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. The independent directors of the Savings Bank include those directors of the Savings Bank who are neither officers nor employees of Price Group or any of its subsidiaries or affiliates. The independent directors of the Price Funds include those directors of the Price Funds who are not deemed to be "interested persons" of Price Group.

Although subject to the general principles of this Statement, including the definition of "beneficial ownership," independent directors are subject only to modified reporting requirements. See pp. 5-20 to 5-23. The trades of the independent directors of the Price Funds are not subject to prior transaction clearance requirements. The trades of the independent directors of Price Group and of the Savings Bank are not subject to prior transaction clearance requirements except for transactions in Price Group stock.

ACCESS PERSONS. Certain persons and entities are classified as " Access Persons" under the Code. The term " Access Person" means:

the Price Advisers;

any officer or director of any of the Price Advisers or the Price Funds (except the independent directors of the Price Funds are not subject to prior transaction clearance and have modified reporting requirements, as described below);

any person associated with any of the Price Advisers or the Price Funds who, in connection with his or her regular functions or duties, makes, participates in, or obtains or has access to non-public information regarding the purchase or sale of securities by a Price Fund or other advisory client, or to non-public information regarding any securities holdings of any client of a Price Adviser, including the Price Funds, or whose functions relate to the making of any recommendations with respect to the purchases or sales; or

any person in a control relationship to any of the Price Advisers or a Price Fund who obtains or has access to information concerning recommendations made to a Price Fund or other advisory client with regard to the purchase or sale of securities by the Price Fund or advisory client.

All Access Persons are notified of their status under the Code. Although a person can be an Access Person of one or more Price Advisers and one or more of the Price Funds, the independent directors of the Price Funds are only Access Persons of the applicable Price Funds; they are not Access Persons of any of the Price Advisers.

Investment Personnel . An Access Person is further identified as " Investment Personnel " if, in connection with his or her regular functions or duties, he or she "makes or participates in making recommendations regarding the purchase or sale of securities" by a Price Fund or other advisory client.

The term "Investment Personnel" includes, but is not limited to:

those employees who are authorized to make investment decisions or to recommend securities transactions on behalf of the firm's clients (investment counselors and members of the mutual fund advisory committees);

research and credit analysts; and

traders who assist in the investment process.

All Investment Personnel are deemed Access Persons under the Code. All Investment Personnel are notified of their status under the Code. Investment Personnel are generally prohibited from investing in initial public offerings. See p. 5-14.

NON-ACCESS PERSONS . Persons who do not fall within the definition of Access Persons are deemed " Non-Access Persons. " If a Non-Access Person is married to an Access Person, then the non-Access Person is deemed to be an Access Person under the beneficial ownership provisions

described below. However, the independent directors of Price Group and the Savings Bank are not included in this definition.

TRANSACTIONS SUBJECT TO STATEMENT . Except as provided below, the provisions of this Statement apply to transactions that fall under either one of the following two conditions:

First , you are a " beneficial owner " of the security under the Rule 16a-1 of the Exchange Act, as defined below; or

Second , if you control or direct securities trading for another person or entity, those trades are subject to this Statement even if you are not a beneficial owner of the securities. For example, if you have an exercisable trading authorization ( e.g., a power of attorney to direct transactions in another person's account) of an unrelated person`s or entity`s brokerage account, or are directing another person's or entity`s trades, those transactions will usually be subject to this Statement to the same extent your personal trades would be as described below.

Definition of Beneficial Owner. A "beneficial owner" is any person who, directly or indirectly, through any contract, arrangement, understanding, relationship, or otherwise, has or shares in the opportunity, directly or indirectly, to profit or share in any profit derived from a transaction in the security.

A person has beneficial ownership in:

securities held by members of the person`s immediate family sharing the same household, although the presumption of beneficial ownership may be rebutted;

a person`s interest in securities held by a trust, which may include both trustees with investment control and, in some instances, trust beneficiaries;

a person`s right to acquire securities through the exercise or conversion of any derivative security, whether or not presently exercisable;

a general partner`s proportionate interest in the portfolio securities held by a general or limited partnership;

certain performance-related fees other than an asset-based fee, received by any broker, dealer, bank, insurance company, investment company, investment adviser, investment manager, trustee or person or entity performing a similar function; and

a person`s right to dividends that is separated or separable from the underlying securities. Otherwise, right to dividends alone shall not represent beneficial ownership in the securities.

A shareholder shall not be deemed to have beneficial ownership in the portfolio securities held by a corporation or similar entity in which the person owns securities if the shareholder is not a

controlling shareholder of the entity and does not have or share investment control over the entity`s portfolio.

Requests for Clarifications or Interpretations Regarding Beneficial Ownership or Control . If you have beneficial ownership of a security, any transaction involving that security is presumed to be subject to the relevant requirements of this Statement, unless you have no direct or indirect influence or control over the transaction. Such a situation may arise, for example, if you have delegated investment authority to an independent investment adviser or your spouse has an independent trading program in which you have no input. Similarly, if your spouse has investment control over, but no beneficial ownership in, an unrelated account, the Statement may not apply to those securities and you may wish to seek clarification or an interpretation.

If you are involved in an investment account for a family situation, trust, partnership, corporation, etc., which you feel should not be subject to the Statement`s relevant prior transaction clearance and/or reporting requirements, you should submit a written request for clarification or interpretation to either the Code Compliance Section in Baltimore or the TRP International Compliance Team, as appropriate. Any such request for clarification or interpretation should name the account, your interest in the account, the persons or firms responsible for its management, and the specific facts of the situation. Do not assume that the Statement is not applicable; you must receive a clarification or interpretation about the applicability of the Statement . Clarifications and interpretations are not self-executing; you must receive a response to a request for clarification or interpretation directly from the Code Compliance Section or the TRP International Compliance Team before proceeding with the transaction or other action covered by this Statement.

PRIOR TRANSACTION CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS GENERALLY. As described, certain transactions require prior clearance before execution. Receiving prior transaction clearance does not relieve you from conducting your personal securities transactions in full compliance with the Code, including its prohibition on trading while in possession of material, inside information, and the 60-Day Rule, and with applicable law, including the prohibition on Front Running ( see page 5-1 for definition of Front Running).

TRANSACTIONS IN STOCK OF PRICE GROUP . Because Price Group is a public company, ownership of its stock subjects its officers, inside and independent directors, employees and all others subject to the Code to special legal requirements under the United States securities laws. You are responsible for your own compliance with these requirements. In connection with these legal requirements, Price Group has adopted the following rules and procedures:

Independent Directors of Price Funds. The independent directors of the Price Funds are prohibited from owning the stock or other securities of Price Group.

Quarterly Earnings Report . Generally, all Access Persons and Non-Access Persons and the independent directors of Price Group and the Savings Bank must refrain from initiating transactions in Price Group stock in which they have a beneficial interest from the second trading day after quarter end (or such other date as management shall from time to time

determine) through the day after the filing of the firm`s earnings release with the SEC on Form 10-Q or Form 8-K. You will be notified by the Management Committee from time to time as to the controlling dates

Prior Transaction Clearance of Price Group Stock Transactions Generally. Access Persons and Non-Access Persons and the independent directors of Price Group and the Savings Bank are required to obtain clearance prior to effecting any proposed transaction (including gifts and other transfers of beneficial ownership) involving shares of Price Group stock owned beneficially, including through the Employee Stock Purchase Plan ( "ESPP" ). A transfer of shares of Price Group stock into or from street name to or from a securities account and a transfer of shares of Price Group stock between securities firms or accounts, including accounts held at the same firm, do not have to receive prior clearance, but must be reported.

Prior Transaction Clearance Procedures for Price Group Stock. Requests for prior transaction clearance must be in writing on the form entitled "Notification of Proposed Transaction" (available on the firm's Intranet under Services and Policies/Services/ Employee Transactions-TRPG Stock) and must be submitted to the Payroll and Stock Transaction Group, BA-0372 or faxed to 410-345-6500. The Payroll and Stock Transaction Group is responsible for processing and maintaining the records of all such requests. This includes not only market transactions, but also sales of stock purchased either through the ESPP or through a securities account if shares of Price Group stock are transferred there from the ESPP. Purchases effected through the ESPP are automatically reported to the Payroll and Stock Transaction Group.

Prohibition Regarding Transactions in Publicly-Traded Price Group Options. Transactions in publicly-traded options on Price Group stock are not permitted.

Prohibition Regarding Short Sales of Price Group Stock. Short sales of Price Group stock are not permitted.

Applicability of 60-Day Rule to Price Group Stock Transactions. Transactions in Price Group stock are subject to the 60-Day Rule except for transactions effected through the ESPP, the exercise of employee stock options granted by Price Group and the subsequent sale of the derivative shares, and shares obtained through an established dividend reinvestment program.

For a full description of the 60-Day Rule, please see page 5-27.

Only Price Group stock that has been held for at least 60 days may be gifted. You must receive prior clearance before gifting shares of Price Group stock.

Purchases of Price Group stock in the ESPP through payroll deduction are not considered in determining the applicability of the 60-Day Rule to market transactions in Price Group stock. See p. 5-27.

To avoid issues with the 60-Day Rule, shares may not be transferred out of or otherwise removed from the ESPP if the shares have been held for less than 60 days.

Access Persons and Non-Access Persons and the independent directors of Price Group and the Savings Bank must obtain prior transaction clearance of any transaction involving Price Group stock, (unless specifically exempted, such as transfers of form of ownership) from the Payroll and Stock Transaction Group.

Initial Disclosure of Holdings of Price Group Stock. Each new employee must report to the Payroll and Stock Transaction Group any shares of Price Group stock of which he or she has beneficial ownership no later than 10 business days after his or her starting date.

Dividend Reinvestment Plans for Price Group Stock. Purchases of Price Group stock owned outside of the ESPP and effected through a dividend reinvestment plan need not receive prior transaction clearance. Reporting of transactions effected through that plan need only be made quarterly through statements provided to the Code Compliance Section or by the financial institution ( e.g. , broker/dealer) where the account is maintained, except in the case of employees who are subject to Section 16 of the Exchange Act, who must report such transactions immediately.

Effectiveness of Prior Clearance . Prior transaction clearance of transactions in Price Group stock is effective for three (3) United States business days from and including the date the clearance is granted, unless (i) advised to the contrary by the Payroll and Stock Transaction Group prior to the proposed transaction, or (ii) the person receiving the clearance comes into possession of material, non public information concerning the firm. If the proposed transaction in Price Group stock is not executed within this time period, a new clearance must be obtained before the individual can execute the proposed transaction.

Reporting of Disposition of Proposed Transaction . You must use the form returned to you by the Payroll and Stock Transaction Group to notify it of the disposition (whether the proposed transaction was effected or not) of each transaction involving shares of Price Group stock owned directly. The notice must be returned within two business days of the trade's execution or within seven business days of the date of prior transaction clearance if the trade is not executed.

Insider Reporting and Liability . Under current SEC rules, certain officers, directors and 10% stockholders of a publicly traded company ( "Insiders" ) are subject to the requirements of Section 16. Insiders include the directors and certain executive officers of Price Group. The Payroll and Stock Transaction Group informs all those who are Insiders of their obligations under Section 16.

SEC Reporting . There are three reporting forms which Insiders are required to file with the SEC to report their purchase, sale and transfer transactions in, and holdings of, Price Group stock. Although the Payroll and Stock Transaction Group will provide assistance in complying with these requirements as an accommodation to Insiders, it remains the legal responsibility of each Insider to ensure that the applicable reports are filed in a timely manner.

Form 3. The initial ownership report by an Insider is required to be filed on Form 3. This report must be filed within ten days after a person becomes an Insider ( i.e., is elected as a director or appointed as an executive officer) to report all current holdings of Price Group stock. Following the election or appointment of an Insider, the Payroll and Stock Transaction Group will deliver to the Insider a Form 3 for appropriate signatures and will file the form electronically with the SEC.

Form 4. Any change in the Insider's ownership of Price Group stock must be reported on a Form 4 unless eligible for deferred reporting on year-end Form 5. The Form 4 must be filed electronically before the end of the second business day following the day on which a transaction resulting in a change in beneficial ownership has been executed. Following receipt of the Notice of Disposition of the proposed transaction, the Payroll and Stock Transaction Group will deliver to the Insider a Form 4, as applicable, for appropriate signatures and will file the form electronically with the SEC.

Form 5. Any transaction or holding that is exempt from reporting on Form 4, such as small purchases of stock, gifts, etc. may be reported electronically on a deferred basis on Form 5 within 45 calendar days after the end of the calendar year in which the transaction occurred. No Form 5 is necessary if all transactions and holdings were previously reported on Form 4.

Liability for Short Swing Profits . Under the United States securities laws, profit realized by certain officers, as well as directors and 10% stockholders of a company (including Price Group) as a result of a purchase and sale (or sale and purchase) of stock of the company within a period of less than six months must be returned to the firm or its designated payee upon request.

Office of Thrift Supervision ("OTS") Reporting. TRPA and Price Group are holding companies of the Savings Bank, which is regulated by the OTS. OTS regulations require the directors and senior officers of TRPA and Price Group to file reports regarding their personal holdings of the stock of Price Group and of the stock of any non-affiliated bank, savings bank, bank holding company, or savings and loan holding company. Although the Bank's Compliance Officer will provide assistance in complying with these requirements as an accommodation, it remains the responsibility of each person to ensure that the required reports are filed in a timely manner.

PRIOR TRANSACTION CLEARANCE REQUIREMENTS (OTHER THAN PRICE GROUP STOCK) FOR ACCESS PERSONS .

Access Persons other than the independent directors of the Price Funds must, unless otherwise provided for below, obtain prior transaction clearance before directly or indirectly initiating, recommending, or in any way participating in, the purchase or sale of a security in which the Access Person has, or by reason of such transaction may acquire, any beneficial interest or which he or she controls. This includes the writing of an option to purchase or sell a security and the acquisition of any shares in an Automatic Investment Plan through a non-systematic investment.

Non-Access Persons are not required to obtain prior clearance before engaging in any securities transactions, except for transactions in Price Group stock.

Where required, prior transaction clearance must be obtained regardless of whether the transaction is effected through TRP Brokerage (generally available only to U.S. residents) or through an unaffiliated broker/dealer or other entity. Please note that the prior clearance procedures do not check compliance with the 60-Day Rule (p. 5-27); you are responsible for ensuring your compliance with this rule.

The independent directors of the Price Funds are not required to received prior transaction clearance in any case.

TRANSACTIONS (OTHER THAN IN PRICE GROUP STOCK) THAT DO NOT REQUIRE EITHER PRIOR TRANSACTION CLEARANCE OR REPORTING UNLESS THEY OCCUR IN A "REPORTABLE FUND." The following transactions do not require either prior transaction clearance or reporting:

Mutual Funds and Variable Insurance Products . The purchase or redemption of shares of any open-end investment companies and variable insurance products, except that Access Persons must report transactions in Reportable Funds, as described below. ( see p. 5-11).

Automatic Investment Plans. Transactions through a program in which regular periodic purchases or withdrawals are made automatically in or from investment accounts in accordance with a predetermined schedule and allocation. An automatic investment plan includes a dividend reinvestment plan. An Access Person must report any securities owned as a result of transactions in an Automatic Investment Plan on his or her Annual Report. Any transaction that overrides the pre-set schedule or allocations of an automatic investment plan (a "non-systematic transaction" ) must be reported by both Access Persons and Non-Access Persons and Access Persons must also receive prior transaction clearance for such a transaction if the transaction would otherwise require prior transaction clearance.

U.S. Government Obligations . Purchases or sales of direct obligations of the U.S. Government.

Certain Commodity Futures Contracts. Purchases or sales of commodity futures contracts for tangible goods ( e.g., corn, soybeans, wheat) if the transaction is regulated solely by the United States Commodity Futures Trading Commission (" CFTC "). Futures contracts for financial instruments, however, must receive prior clearance.

Commercial Paper and Similar Instruments. Bankers` acceptances, bank certificates of deposit, commercial paper and high quality short-term debt instruments, including repurchase agreements.

Certain Unit Investment Trusts. Shares issued by unit investment trusts that are invested exclusively in one or more open-end funds, if none of the underlying funds is a Reportable Fund.

TRANSACTIONS (OTHER THAN PRICE GROUP STOCK) THAT DO NOT REQUIRE PRIOR TRANSACTION CLEARANCE BUT MUST BE REPORTED BY BOTH ACCESS PERSONS AND NON-ACCESS PERSONS. The following transactions do not require prior transaction clearance but must be reported:

Exchange-Traded Funds ("ETFs"). Purchases or sales of the following ETFs only :

Diamond Trust Series I (" DIA ")

SPDR Trust Series I (" SPY ")

NASDAQ-100 Index Tracking Stock (" QQQQ ")

Ishares MSCI EAFE Index Fund (" EFA ")

Ishares Trust S&P 500 Index (" IVV ")

Ishares Trust Russell 2000 (" IWM ")

Ishares MSCI Emerging Market Index (" EEM ")

Transactions in all other ETFs must receive prior clearance and these transactions must be reported.

Unit Investment Trusts. Purchases or sales of shares in unit investment trusts registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, unless the unit investment trust is an ETF, in which case it must comply with the specific restrictions on ETFs described immediately above.

National Government Obligations (other than U.S.). Purchases or sales of direct

obligations of national (non-U.S.) governments.

Pro Rata Distributions . Purchases effected by the exercise of rights issued pro rata to all holders of a class of securities or the sale of rights so received.

Mandatory Tenders . Purchases and sales of securities pursuant to a mandatory tender offer.

Exercise of Stock Option of Corporate Employer by Spouse . Transactions involving the exercise by an Access Person's spouse of a stock option issued by the corporation employing the spouse. However, a subsequent sale of the stock obtained by means of the exercise, including sales effected by a "cash-less" transactions, must receive prior transaction clearance.

Inheritances . The acquisition of securities through inheritance.

Gifts . The giving of or receipt of a security as a gift.

Stock Splits, Reverse Stock Splits, and Similar Acquisitions and Dispositions . The mandatory acquisition of additional shares or the disposition of existing corporate holdings through stock splits, reverse stock splits, stock dividends, exercise of rights, exchange or conversion. Reporting of such transactions must be made within 30 days of the end of the quarter in which they occurred. Reporting is deemed to have been made if the acquisition or disposition is reported on a confirmation, statement or similar document sent to Code Compliance.

Spousal Employee-Sponsored Payroll Deduction Plans . Purchases, but not sales, by an Access Person's spouse pursuant to an employee-sponsored payroll deduction plan ( e.g., a 401(k) plan or employee stock purchase plan), provided the Code Compliance Section has been previously notified by the Access Person that the spouse will be participating in the payroll deduction plan. Reporting of such transactions must be made within 30 days of the end of the quarter in which they occurred. A sale or exchange of stock held in such a plan is subject to the prior transaction clearance requirements for Access Persons.

TRANSACTIONS (OTHER THAN PRICE GROUP STOCK) THAT DO NOT REQUIRE PRIOR TRANSACTION CLEARANCE BUT MUST BE REPORTED BY ACCESS PERSONS ONLY.

Reportable Funds. Purchases and sales of shares of Reportable Funds. A Reportable Fund is any open-end investment company, including money market funds, for which any of the Price Advisers serves as an investment adviser. This includes not only the Price Funds and SICAVs, but also any fund managed by any of the Price Advisers through sub-advised relationships, including any fund holdings offered through retirement plans ( e.g., 401(k) plans) or as an investment option offered as part of a variable annuity. Group Compliance maintains a listing of sub- advised Reportable Funds under the Tools menu on the TRP Exchange.

Restrictions on Holding Price Funds Through Intermediaries. Many Reportable Funds are Price Funds. Access Persons are encouraged to buy, sell and maintain their holdings of Price Funds in an account or accounts on a T. Rowe Price platform, rather than through an intermediary where possible. For example, Access Persons are encouraged to trade shares in a Price Fund through T. Rowe Price Services, Inc., the transfer agent or through a TRP Brokerage account, rather than through a brokerage account maintained at an independent broker/dealer.

Access Persons are prohibited from purchasing a Price Fund through an intermediary if shares of that Price Fund are not currently held at that intermediary and if the purchase could have been effected through one of the T. Rowe Price transfer agents or in a TRP Brokerage Account. If an Access Person currently holds Price Funds under such circumstances, he or she is prohibited from purchasing shares of any other Price Fund through that intermediary. Situations where Price Funds must be held through an intermediary ( e.g., spouse of an Access Person has or is eligible to invest in Price Funds through the spouse`s 401(k) plan) do not violate this policy.

Access Persons must inform the Code Compliance Section about ownership of shares of Price Funds. Once this notification has been given, if the Price Fund is held on a T. Rowe Price platform or in a TRP Brokerage Account, the Access Person need not report these transactions directly. See p. 5-19.

In instances where Price Funds are held through an intermediary, transactions in shares of those Price Funds must be reported as described on p. 5-19.

Interests in Section 529 College Investment Plans. Purchases and sales of interests in any Section 529 College Investment Plan. Access Persons must also inform the Code Compliance Section about ownership of interests in the Maryland College Investment Plan, the T. Rowe Price College Savings Plan, the University of Alaska College Savings Plan, or the John Hancock Freedom 529. Once this notification has been given, an Access Person need not report these transactions directly. See p. 5-19.

Notification Requirements. Notification to the Code Compliance Section about a

Reportable Fund or a Section 529 College Investment Plan should include:

account ownership information, and

account number

The independent directors of the Price Funds are subject to modified reporting requirements.

The Chief Compliance Officer or his or her designee reviews at a minimum the transaction reports for all securities required to be reported under the Advisers Act or the Investment Company Act for all employees, officers, and inside directors of Price Group and its affiliates and for the independent directors of the Price Funds.

TRANSACTIONS (OTHER THAN PRICE GROUP STOCK) THAT REQUIRE PRIOR TRANSACTION CLEARANCE BY ACCESS PERSONS. If the transaction or security is not listed above as not requiring prior transaction clearance, you should assume that it is subject to this requirement unless specifically informed otherwise by the Code Compliance Section or the TRP International Compliance Team. The only Access Persons not subject to the prior transaction clearance requirements are the independent directors of the Price Funds.

Among the transactions for which you must receive prior transaction clearance are:

Non-systematic transactions in a security that is not exempt from prior transaction clearance;

Closed-end fund transactions, including U.K., Canadian, and other non-U.S. investment trusts, and ETFs not specifically exempted from prior clearance (see p. 5-10); and

Transactions in sector index funds that are closed-end or exchanged-traded funds.

OTHER TRANSACTION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS. Any transaction that is subject to the prior transaction clearance requirements on behalf of an Access Person (except the independent directors of the Price Funds), including purchases in initial public offerings and private placement transactions , must be reported. Although Non-Access Persons are not required to receive prior transaction clearance for securities transactions (other than Price Group stock), they must report any transaction that would require prior transaction clearance by an Access Person. The independent directors of Price Group, the Price Funds and the Savings Bank are subject to modified reporting requirements.

PROCEDURES FOR OBTAINING PRIOR TRANSACTION CLEARANCE (OTHER THAN PRICE GROUP STOCK) FOR ACCESS PERSONS. Unless prior transaction clearance is not required as described above or the Chairperson of the Ethics Committee or his or her designee has otherwise determined that prior transaction clearance is not required, Access Persons, other than the independent directors of the Price Funds, must receive prior transaction clearance for all securities transactions.

Access Persons should follow the procedures set forth below before engaging in the transactions described. If an Access Person is not certain whether a proposed transaction is subject to the prior transaction clearance requirements, he or she should contact the Code Compliance Section before proceeding.

Procedures For Obtaining Prior Transaction Clearance For Initial Public Offerings ("IPOs"):

Non-Investment Personnel . Access Persons who are not Investment Personnel ( "Non-Investment Personnel ") may purchase securities that are the subject of an IPO only

after receiving prior transaction clearance in writing from the Chairperson of the Ethics Committee or his or her designee (" Designee "). An IPO would include, for example, an offering of securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933 when the issuer of the securities, immediately before the registration, was not subject to certain reporting requirements of the Exchange Act. This requirement applies to all IPOs regardless of market.

In considering such a request for prior transaction clearance, the Chairperson or his or her Designee will determine whether the proposed transaction presents a conflict of interest with any of the firm's clients or otherwise violates the Code. The Chairperson or his or her Designee will also consider whether:

1. The purchase is made through the Non-Investment Personnel's regular broker;

2. The number of shares to be purchased is commensurate with the normal size and activity of the Non-Investment Personnel's account; and

3. The transaction otherwise meets the requirements of the FINRA restrictions, as applicable, regarding the sale of a new issue to an account in which a "restricted person," as defined in FINRA`s NASD Rule 2790, has a beneficial interest.

In addition to receiving prior transaction clearance from the Chairperson of the Ethics Committee or his or her Designee, Non-Investment Personnel must also check with the Equity Trading Desk the day the offering is priced before purchasing in the IPO. If a client order has been received since the initial prior transaction approval was given, the prior transaction clearance will be withdrawn.

Non-Investment Personnel will not be permitted to purchase shares in an IPO if any of the firm's clients are prohibited from doing so because of affiliated transaction restrictions. This prohibition will remain in effect until the firm's clients have had the opportunity to purchase in the secondary market once the underwriting is completed -- commonly referred to as the aftermarket. The 60-Day Rule applies to transactions in securities purchased in an IPO.

Investment Personnel . Investment Personnel may not purchase securities in an IPO.

Non-Access Persons . Although Non-Access Persons are not required to receive prior transaction clearance before purchasing shares in an IPO, any Non-Access Person who is a registered representative or associated person of Investment Services is reminded that FINRA`s NASD Rule 2790 may restrict his or her ability to buy shares in a new issue in any market.

Procedures For Obtaining Prior Transaction Clearance For Private Placements. Access Persons may not invest in a private placement of securities, including the purchase of limited partnership interests, unless prior transaction clearance in writing has been obtained from the Chairperson of the Ethics Committee or his or her Designee. A private placement is generally defined by the SEC as an offering that is exempt from registration under the Securities Act. Private placement investments generally require the investor to complete a written questionnaire or subscription agreement. If an Access Person has any questions about whether a transaction is, in fact, a private placement, he or she should contact the Chairperson of the Ethics Committee or his or her designee.

In considering a request for prior transaction clearance for a private placement, the Chairperson will determine whether the investment opportunity (private placement) should be reserved for the firm's clients, and whether the opportunity is being offered to the Access

Person by virtue of his or her position with the firm. The Chairperson will also secure, if appropriate, the approval of the proposed transaction from the chairperson of the applicable investment steering committee. These investments may also have special reporting requirements, as discussed under "Procedures for Reporting Transactions," at p. 5-18.

Continuing Obligation. An Access Person who has received prior transaction clearance to invest and does invest in a private placement of securities and who, at a later date, anticipates participating in the firm's investment decision process regarding the purchase or sale of securities of the issuer of that private placement on behalf of any client, must immediately disclose his or her prior investment in the private placement to the Chairperson of the Ethics Committee and to the chairperson of the appropriate investment steering committee.

Registered representatives of Investment Services are reminded that FINRA rules may restrict investment in a private placement in certain circumstances.

Procedures For Obtaining Prior Transaction Clearance For All Other Securities Transactions . Requests for prior transaction clearance by Access Persons for all other securities transactions requiring prior transaction clearance should generally be made via iTrade on the firm's intranet. The iTrade system automatically sends any request for prior transaction approval that requires manual intervention to the Equity Trading Department. If you cannot access iTrade, requests may be made orally, in writing, or by electronic mail (email address "Personal Trades" in the electronic mail address book). Obtaining clearance by electronic mail if you cannot access iTrade is strongly encouraged. All requests must include the name of the security, a definitive security identifier ( e.g., CUSIP, ticker, or Sedol), the number of shares or amount of bond involved, and the nature of the transaction, i.e. , whether the transaction is a purchase, sale, short sale, or buy to cover. Responses to all requests will be made by iTrade or the Equity Trading Department, documenting the request and whether or not prior transaction clearance has been granted. The Examiner system maintains the record of all approval and denials, whether automatic or manual.

Requests will normally be processed on the same day; however, additional time may be required for prior transaction clearance for certain securities, including non-U.S. securities.

Effectiveness of Prior Transaction Clearance . Prior transaction clearance of a securities transaction is effective for three (3) United States business days from and including the date the clearance is granted, regardless of the time of day when clearance is granted. If the proposed securities transaction is not executed within this time, a new clearance must be obtained . For example, if prior transaction clearance is granted at 2:00 pm Monday, the trade must be executed by Wednesday. In situations where it appears that the trade will not be executed within three business days even if the order is entered in that time period ( e.g., certain transactions through Transfer Agents or spousal employee-sponsored payroll deduction plans), please notify the Code Compliance Section after prior clearance has been granted, but before entering the order with the executing agent.

Reminder . If you are an Access Person and become the beneficial owner of another's securities ( e.g., by marriage to the owner of the securities) or begin to direct trading of

another's securities, then transactions in those securities also become subject to the prior transaction clearance requirements. You must also report acquisition of beneficial ownership or control of these securities within 10 business days of your knowledge of their existence.

REASONS FOR DISALLOWING ANY PROPOSED TRANSACTION . Prior transaction clearance will usually not be granted for a proposed transaction by the Trading Department, either directly or by iTrade, and/or by the Chairperson of the Ethics Committee or by the TRP International Compliance Team if:

Pending Client Orders . Orders have been placed by any of the Price Advisers to purchase or sell the security unless certain size or volume parameters as described below under "Large Issuer/Volume Transactions" are met.

Purchases and Sales Within Seven (7) Calendar Days . The security has been purchased or sold by any client of a Price Adviser within seven calendar days immediately prior to the date of the proposed transaction, unless certain size or volume parameters as described below under "Large Issuer/Volume Transactions" are met.

For example, if a client transaction occurs on Monday, prior transaction clearance is not generally granted to an Access Person to purchase or sell that security until Tuesday of the following week. Transactions in securities in pure as opposed to enhanced index funds are not considered for this purpose.

If all clients have eliminated their holdings in a particular security, the seven day restriction is not applicable to an Access Person's transactions in that security.

Approved Company Rating Changes. A change in the rating of an approved company as reported in the firm's Daily Research News has occurred within seven (7) calendar days immediately prior to the date of the proposed transaction. Accordingly, trading would not be permitted until the eighth (8) calendar day.

Securities Subject to Internal Trading Restrictions . The security is limited or restricted by any of the Price Advisers as to purchase or sale by Access Persons.

If for any reason an Access Person has not received a requested prior transaction clearance for a proposed securities transaction, he or she must not communicate this information to another person and must not cause any other person to enter into such a transaction.

Requests for Reconsideration of Prior Transaction Clearance Denials. If an Access Person has not been granted a requested prior transaction clearance, he or she may apply to the Chairperson of the Ethics Committee or his or her designee for reconsideration. Such a request must be in writing and must fully describe the basis upon which the reconsideration is being requested. As part of the reconsideration process, the Chairperson or his or her designee will determine if any client of any of the Price Advisers may be disadvantaged by the proposed transaction by the Access Person. The factors the Chairperson or his or her designee may consider in making this determination include:

the size of the proposed transaction;

the nature of the proposed transaction ( i.e. , buy or sell) and of any recent, current or pending client transactions;

the trading volume of the security that is the subject of the proposed Access Person transaction;

the existence of any current or pending order in the security for any client of a Price Adviser;

the reason the Access Person wants to trade ( e.g. , to provide funds for the purchase of a home); and

the number of times the Access Person has requested prior transaction clearance for the proposed trade and the amount of time elapsed between each prior transaction clearance request.

TRANSACTION CONFIRMATIONS AND PERIODIC ACCOUNT STATEMENTS . All Access Persons (except the independent directors of the Price Funds) and Non-Access Persons must request broker dealers, investment advisers, banks, or other financial institutions executing their transactions to send a duplicate confirmation or contract note with respect to each and every reportable transaction, including Price Group stock, and a copy of all periodic statements for all securities accounts in which the Access Person or Non-Access Person is considered to have beneficial ownership and/or control ( see page 5-4 for a discussion of beneficial ownership and control concepts) to Compliance, Legal Department, T. Rowe Price, P.O. Box 17218, Baltimore, Maryland 21297-1218.

The independent directors of Price Group, the Price Funds, and the Savings Bank are subject to modified reporting requirements described at pp. 5-20 to 5-23.

If transaction or statement information is provided in a language other than English, the employee should provide a translation into English of the documents.

NOTIFICATION OF SECURITIES ACCOUNTS . All persons (except the independent directors of the Price Funds) and all entities subject to this Statement must give notice by email to the Code Compliance section (email address "Legal Compliance Employee Trading") before opening a securities account with, or as soon as the person or entity subject to this Statement knows of the existence of an account with, any broker, dealer, investment adviser, bank, or other financial institution, including TRP Brokerage.

The independent directors of Price Group, the Price Funds, and the Savings Bank are not subject to this requirement.

New Personnel Subject to the Code . A person subject to the Code must give written notice as directed above of any existing securities accounts maintained with any broker,

dealer, investment adviser, bank or other financial institution within 10 business days of association with the firm.

You do not have to report accounts at transfer agents or similar entities if the only securities in those accounts are variable insurance products or open-end mutual funds if these are the only types of securities that can be held or traded in the accounts. If other securities can be held or traded, the accounts must be reported. For example, if you have an account at a transfer agent that can only hold shares of a mutual fund, that account does not have to be reported. If, however, you have a brokerage account it must be reported even if the only securities currently held or traded in it are mutual funds.

Officers, Directors and Registered Representatives of Investment Services . FINRA requires each associated person of T. Rowe Price Investment Services, Inc. to:

Obtain approval for a securities account from Investment Services (whether the registered person is based in the United States or internationally); the request for approval should be in writing, directed to the Code Compliance Section, and submitted before opening or placing the initial trade in the securities account; and

If the securities account is with a broker/dealer, provide the broker/dealer with written notice of his or her association with Investment Services.

Annual Statement by Access Persons. Each Access Person, except an Access Person who is an independent director of the Price Funds, must also file with the firm a statement of his or her accounts as of year-end in January of the following year.

Reminder. If you become the beneficial owner of another's securities ( e.g., by marriage to the owner of the securities) or begin to direct trading of another's securities, then the associated securities accounts become subject to the account reporting requirements.

PROCEDURES FOR REPORTING TRANSACTIONS. The following requirements apply both to Access Persons and Non-Access Persons except the independent directors of Price Group, the Price Funds and the Savings Bank, who are subject to modified reporting requirements:

Report Form . If the executing firm provides a confirmation, contract note or similar document directly to the firm, you do not need to make a further report. The date this document is received by the Code Compliance Section will be deemed the date the report is submitted for purposes of SEC compliance. The Code Compliance Section must receive the confirmation or similar document no later than 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter in which the transaction occurred. You must report all other transactions on the form designated "T. Rowe Price Employee's Report of Securities Transactions," which is available on the firm's Intranet under the Tools menu on the TRP Exchange.

What Information Is Required. Each transaction report must contain , at a minimum, the following information about each transaction involving a reportable security in which you had, or as a result of the transaction acquired, any direct or indirect beneficial ownership:

the date of the transaction

the title of the security

the ticker symbol or CUSIP number, as applicable

the interest rate and maturity date, as applicable

the number of shares, as applicable

the principal amount of each reportable security involved, as applicable.

the nature of the transaction ( i.e. purchase, sale or any other type of acquisition or disposition)

the price of the security at which the transaction was effected

the name of the broker, dealer or bank with or through which the transaction was effected; and

the date you submit the report

When Reports are Due . You must report a securities transaction (other than a transaction in a Reportable Fund or Section 529 College Investment Plan [Access Persons only] or a spousal payroll deduction plan or a stock split or similar acquisition or disposition) within ten (10) business days after the trade date or within ten (10) business days after the date on which you first gain knowledge of the transaction (for example, a bequest) if this is later. A transaction in a Reportable Fund, a Section 529 College Investment Plan, a spousal payroll deduction plan or a stock split or similar acquisition or disposition must be reported within 30 days of the end of the quarter in which it occurred.

Access Person Reporting of Reportable Funds and Section 529 College Investment Plan Interests Held on a T. Rowe Price Platform or in a TRP Brokerage account. You are required to inform the Code Compliance Section about Reportable Funds and/or Section 529 College Investment Plan interests ( i.e., the Maryland College Investment Plan, the T. Rowe Price College Savings Plan, the University of Alaska College Savings Plan, and the John Hancock Freedom 529) held on a T. Rowe Price Platform or in a TRP Brokerage account. See p. 5-12. Once you have done this, you do not have to report any transactions in those securities; your transactions and holdings will be updated and reported automatically to Code Compliance on a monthly basis. You should send an email to the Access Persons Legal Compliance mailbox when you first purchase shares in a Reportable Fund or invest in Section 529 College Investment Plan Interests held on a T.Rowe Price Platform or in a TRP Brokerage account providing the account number and Reportable Fund name, if applicable, and the account registration to inform the Code Compliance Section of new holdings.

Access Person Reporting of Reportable Funds and Section 529 College Investment Plan Interests NOT Held on a T. Rowe Price Platform or in a TRP Brokerage Account. You must notify the Code Compliance Section of any Reportable Fund or Section 529 College Investment Plan interests that you beneficially own or control that are held at any intermediary, including any broker/dealer other than TRP`s Brokerage Division. This would include, for example, a Price Fund held in your spouse`s retirement plan, even if T. Rowe Price Retirement Plan Services, Inc. acts as the administrator or recordkeeper of that plan. Any transaction in a Reportable Fund or in interests in a Section 529 College Investment Plan must be reported by duplicate account information sent directly by the intermediary to the Code Compliance Section or by the Access Person directly on the "T. Rowe Price Employees Report of Securities Transactions" within 30 days of the end of the quarter in which the transaction occurred.

Reporting Certain Private Placement Transactions. If your investment requires periodic capital calls ( e.g., in a limited partnership) you must report each capital call within ten (10) business days. This is the case even if you are an Access Person and you received prior transaction clearance for a total cumulative investment.

Reminder. If you become the beneficial owner of another's securities ( e.g., by marriage to the owner of the securities) or begin to direct trading of another's securities, the transactions in these securities become subject to the transaction reporting requirements.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS OF THE PRICE FUNDS.

Transactions in Publicly Traded Securities. An independent director of the Price Funds must report transactions in publicly-traded securities where the independent director controls or directs such transactions. These reporting requirements apply to transactions the independent director effects for his or her own beneficial ownership as well as the beneficial ownership of others, such as a spouse or other family member. An independent director does not have to report securities transactions in accounts over which the independent director has no direct or indirect influence or control ( e.g., transactions in an account managed by an investment professional pursuant to a discretionary agreement and where the independent director does not participate in the investment decisions).

Transactions in Non-Publicly Traded Securities. An independent director does not have to report transactions in securities which are not traded on an exchange or listed on NASDAQ ( i.e., non-publicly traded securities), unless the independent director knew, or in the ordinary course of fulfilling his or her official duties as a Price Funds independent director, should have known that during the 15-day period immediately before or after the independent director`s transaction in such non-publicly traded security, a Price Adviser purchased, sold or considered purchasing or selling such security for a Price Fund or Price advisory client.

Methods of Reporting . An independent director has the option to satisfy his or her obligation to report transactions in securities via a Quarterly Report or by arranging

for the executing brokers of such transactions to provide duplicate transaction confirmations directly to the Code Compliance Section.

Quarterly Reports . If a Price Fund independent director elects to report his or her transactions quarterly: (1) a report for each securities transaction must be filed with the Code Compliance Section no later than thirty (30) days after the end of the calendar quarter in which the transaction was effected; and (2) a report must be filed for each quarter, regardless of whether there have been any reportable transactions. The Code Compliance Section will send to each independent director of the Price Funds who chooses to report transactions on a quarterly basis a reminder letter and reporting form approximately ten days before the end of each calendar quarter.

Duplicate Confirmation Reporting. An independent director of the Price Funds may also instruct his or her broker to send duplicate transaction information (confirmations) directly to the Code Compliance Section. An independent director who chooses to have his or her broker send duplicate account information to the Code Compliance Section in lieu of directly reporting broker-executed transactions must nevertheless continue to report in the normal way ( i.e., Quarterly Reports) any securities transactions for which a broker confirmation is not generated.

Among the types of transactions that are commonly not reported through a broker confirmation and may therefore have to be reported directly to T. Rowe Price are:

Exercise of Stock Option of Corporate Employer;

Inheritance of a Security;

Gift of a Security; and

Transactions in Certain Commodities Futures Contracts ( e.g., financial indices).

An independent director of the Price Funds must include any transactions listed above, as applicable, in his or her Quarterly Reports if not otherwise contained in a duplicate broker confirmation. The Code Compliance Section will send to each independent director of the Price Funds who chooses to report transactions through broker confirmations a reminder letter and reporting form approximately ten days before the end of each calendar quarter so that transactions not reported by broker confirmations can be reported on the reporting form.

Reporting of Officership, Directorship, General Partnership or Other Managerial Positions Apart from the Price Funds. An independent director of the Price Funds shall report to the Code Compliance Section any officership, directorship, general partnership or other managerial position which he or she holds with any public, private, or governmental issuer other than the Price Funds.

Reporting of Significant Ownership .

Issuers (Other than Non-Public Investment Partnerships, Pools or Funds) . If an independent director of the Price Funds owns more than 1/2 of 1% of the total outstanding shares of a public or private issuer (other than a non-public investment partnership, pool or fund), he or she must immediately report this ownership in writing to the Code Compliance Section, providing the name of the issuer and the total number of the issuer`s shares beneficially owned.

Non-Public Investment Partnerships, Pools or Funds . If an independent director of the Price Funds owns more than xba of 1% of the total outstanding shares or units of a non-public investment partnership, pool or fund over which the independent director exercises control or influence, or is informed of the investment transactions of that entity, the independent director must report such ownership in writing to the Code Compliance Section. For non-public investment partnerships, pools or funds where the independent director does not exercise control or influence and is not informed of the investment transactions of such entity, the independent director need not report such ownership to the Code Compliance Section unless and until such ownership exceeds 4% of the total outstanding shares or units of the entity.

Investments in Price Group . An independent director of the Price Funds is prohibited from owning the common stock or other securities of Price Group.

Investments in Non-Listed Securities Firms. An independent director of the Price Funds may not purchase or sell the shares of a broker/dealer, underwriter or federally registered investment adviser unless that entity is traded on an exchange or listed on NASDAQ or the purchase or sale has otherwise been approved by the Price Fund Boards.

Restrictions on Client Investment Partnerships.

Co-Investing . An independent director of the Price Funds is not permitted to co- invest in client investment partnerships of Price Group or its affiliates, such as Strategic Partners, Threshold, and Recovery.

Direct Investment . An independent director of the Price Funds is not permitted to invest as a limited partner in client investment partnerships of Price Group or its affiliates.

Dealing with Clients . Aside from market transactions effected through securities exchanges or via NASDAQ, an independent director of the Price Funds may not, directly or indirectly, sell to or purchase from a client any security. This prohibition does not preclude the purchase or redemption of shares of any open-end mutual fund that is a client of any of the Price Advisers.

REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS OF PRICE GROUP.

Reporting of Personal Securities Transactions. An independent director of Price Group is not required to report his or her personal securities transactions (other than transactions in Price Group stock) as long as the independent director does not obtain information about the Price Advisers' investment research, recommendations, or transactions. However, each independent director of Price Group is reminded that changes to certain information reported by the respective independent director in the Annual Questionnaire for Independent Directors are required to be reported to Corporate Records in Baltimore ( e.g., changes in holdings of stock of financial institutions or financial institution holding companies).

Reporting of Officership, Directorship, General Partnership or Other Managerial Positions Apart from Price Group. An independent director of Price Group shall report to the Code Compliance Section any officership, directorship, general partnership or other managerial position which he or she holds with any public, private, or governmental issuer other than Price Group.

Reporting of Significant Ownership .

Issuers (Other than Non-Public Investment Partnerships, Pools or Funds) . If an independent director of Price Group owns more than 1/2 of 1% of the total outstanding shares of a public or private issuer (other than a non-public investment partnership, pool or fund), he or she must immediately report this ownership in writing to the Code Compliance Section, providing the name of the issuer and the total number of the issuer`s shares beneficially owned.

Non-Public Investment Partnerships, Pools or Funds . If an independent director of Price Group owns more than xba of 1% of the total outstanding shares or units of a non-public investment partnership, pool or fund over which the independent director exercises control or influence, or is informed of the investment transactions of that entity, the independent director must report such ownership in writing to the Code Compliance Section. For non- public investment partnerships, pools or funds where the independent director does not exercise control or influence and is not informed of the investment transactions of such entity, the independent director need not report such ownership to the Code Compliance Section unless and until such ownership exceeds 4% of the total outstanding shares or units of the entity.

TRANSACTION REPORTING REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INDEPENDENT DIRECTORS OF THE SAVINGS BANK. The independent directors of the Savings Bank are not required to report their personal securities transactions (other than transactions in Price Group stock) as long as they do not obtain information about the Price Advisers` investment research, recommendations, or transactions, other than information obtained because the Savings Bank is a client of one or more of the Price Advisers. In addition, the independent directors of the Savings Bank may be required to report other personal securities transactions and/or holdings as specifically requested from time to time by the Savings Bank in accordance with regulatory or examination requirements.

MISCELLANEOUS RULES REGARDING PERSONAL SECURITIES TRANSACTIONS . These rules vary in their applicability depending upon whether you are an Access Person.

The following rules apply to all Access Persons, except the independent directors of the Price Funds, and to all Non-Access Persons:

Dealing with Clients . Access Persons and Non-Access Persons may not, directly or indirectly, sell to or purchase from a client any security. Market transactions are not subject to this restriction. This prohibition does not preclude the purchase or redemption of shares of any open-end mutual fund that is a client of any of the Price Advisers and does not apply to transactions in a spousal employer-sponsored payroll deduction plan or spousal employer-sponsored stock option plan.

Investment Clubs. These restrictions vary depending upon the person's status, as follows:

Non-Access Persons. A Non-Access Person may form or participate in a stock or investment club without prior clearance from the Chairperson of the Ethics Committee (U.S. — based personnel) or the TRP International Compliance Team (international personnel). Only transactions in Price Group stock are subject to prior transaction clearance. Club transactions must be reported just as the Non- Access Person's individual trades are reported.

Access Persons . An Access Person may not form or participate in a stock or investment club unless prior written clearance has been obtained from the Chairperson of the Ethics Committee (U.S.-based personnel) or the TRP International Compliance Team (international personnel). Generally, transactions by such a stock or investment club in which an Access Person has beneficial ownership or control are subject to the same prior transaction clearance and reporting requirements applicable to an individual Access Person's trades. If, however, the Access Person has beneficial ownership solely by virtue of his or her spouse's participation in the club and has no investment control or input into decisions regarding the club's securities transactions, the Chairperson of the Ethics Committee or the TRP International Compliance Team may, as appropriate as part of the prior clearance process, require the prior transaction clearance of Price Group stock transactions only.

Margin Accounts. While margin accounts are discouraged, you may open and maintain margin accounts for the purchase of securities provided such accounts are with firms with which you maintain a regular securities account relationship.

Trading Activity. You are discouraged from engaging in a pattern of securities transactions that either:

is so excessively frequent as to potentially impact your ability to carry out your assigned responsibilities, or

involves securities positions that are disproportionate to your net assets.

At the discretion of the Chairperson of the Ethics Committee, written notification of excessive trading may be sent to you and/or the appropriate supervisor if ten or more reportable trades occur in your account(s) in a month, or if circumstances otherwise warrant this action.

The following rules apply only to Access Persons other than the independent directors of the Price Funds:

Large Issuer/Volume Transactions . Although subject to prior transaction clearance, transactions involving securities of certain large issuers or of issuers with high trading volumes, within the parameters set by the Ethics Committee (the " Large Issuer/Volume List "), will be permitted under normal circumstances, as follows:

Transactions involving no more than U.S. $30,000 (all amounts are in U.S. dollars) or the nearest round lot (even if the amount of the transaction marginally exceeds $30,000) per security per seven (7) calendar day period in securities of:

issuers with market capitalizations of $5 billion or more, or

U.S. issuers with an average daily trading volume in excess of 500,000 shares over the preceding 90 calendar days

are usually permitted, unless the rating on the security as reported in the firm`s Daily Research News has been changed to a 1 or a 5 within the seven (7) calendar days immediately prior to the date of the proposed transaction.

These parameters are subject to change by the Ethics Committee. An Access Person should be aware that if prior transaction clearance is granted for a specific number of shares lower than the number requested, he or she may not be able to receive permission to buy or sell additional shares of the issuer for the next seven (7) calendar days.

If you believe one or both of these criteria should be applied to a non-U.S. issuer, you should contact the Code Compliance Section or the TRP International Compliance Team, as appropriate. When contacted, the TRP International Compliance Team will coordinate the process with the Code Compliance Section.

Transactions Involving Options on Large Issuer/Volume List Securities . Access Persons may not purchase uncovered put options or sell uncovered call options unless otherwise permitted under the "Options and Futures" discussion below. Otherwise, in the case of options on an individual security on the Large Issuer/Volume List (if it has not had a prohibited rating change), an Access Person may trade the greater of 5 contracts or sufficient option contracts to control $30,000 in the underlying security; thus an Access Person may trade 5 contracts even if this permits the Access Person to control more than $30,000 in the underlying security. Similarly, the Access Person may trade more than 5 contracts as long as the number of contracts does not permit him or her to control more than $30,000 in the underlying security.

Transactions Involving Exchange-Traded Index Options . Generally, an Access Person may trade the greater of 5 contracts or sufficient contracts to control $30,000 in the underlying securities; thus an Access Person may trade 5 contracts even if this permits the Access Person to control more than $30,000 in the underlying securities. Similarly, the Access Person may trade more than 5 contracts as long as the number of contracts does not permit him or her to control more than $30,000 in the underlying securities. These parameters are subject to change by the Ethics Committee.

Please note that an option on a Unit Investment Trust ( e.g., QQQQ) is not an exchange- traded index option and does not fall under this provision. See the discussion under General Information on Options and Futures below.

Client Limit Orders . Although subject to prior transaction clearance, an Access Person`s proposed trade in a security is usually permitted even if a limit order has been entered for a client for the same security, if:

The Access Person`s trade will be entered as a market order; and

The client`s limit order is 10% or more away from the market at the time the Access Person requests prior transaction clearance.

Japanese New Issues. All Access Persons are prohibited from purchasing a security which is the subject of an IPO in Japan.

General Information on Options and Futures (Other than Exchange — Traded Index Options). If a transaction in the underlying instrument does not require prior transaction clearance ( e.g., National Government Obligations, Unit Investment Trusts), then an options or futures transaction on the underlying instrument does not require prior transaction clearance. However, all options and futures transactions, except the commodity futures transactions described on page 5-10, must be reported even if a transaction in the underlying instrument would not have to be reported ( e.g., U.S. Government Obligations). Transactions in publicly traded options on Price Group stock are not permitted. See p. 5-7. Please consult the specific discussion on Exchange — Traded Index Options above for transactions in those securities. Please note that

Contracts for Difference are treated under this Statement in the same manner as call options, and, as a result, are subject to the 60-Day Rule.

Before engaging in options and futures transactions, Access Persons should understand the impact that the 60-Day Rule and intervening client transactions may have upon their ability to close out a position with a profit ( see page 5-27).

Options and Futures on Securities and Indices Not Held by Clients of the Price Advisers. There are no specific restrictions with respect to the purchase, sale or writing of put or call options or any other option or futures activity, such as multiple writings, spreads and straddles, on a security (and options or futures on such security) or index that is not held by any of the Price Advisers` clients.

Options on Securities Held by Clients of the Price Advisers. With respect to options on securities of companies which are held by any of Price Advisers` clients, it is the firm`s policy that an Access Person should not profit from a price decline of a security owned by a client (other than a "pure" Index account). Therefore, an Access Person may: (i) purchase call options and sell covered call options and (ii) purchase covered put options and sell put options. An Access Person may not purchase uncovered put options or sell uncovered call options, even if the issuer of the underlying securities is included on the Large Issuer/Volume List, unless purchased in connection with other options on the same security as part of a straddle, combination or spread strategy which is designed to result in a profit to the Access Person if the underlying security rises in or does not change in value. The purchase, sale and exercise of options are subject to the same restrictions as those set forth with respect to securities, i.e., the option should be treated as if it were the common stock itself.

Other Options and Futures Held by Clients of the Price Advisers. Any other option or futures transaction with respect to domestic or foreign securities held by any of the Price Advisers' clients will receive prior transaction clearance if appropriate after due consideration is given, based on the particular facts presented, as to whether the proposed transaction or series of transactions might appear to or actually create a conflict with the interests of any of the Price Advisers' clients. Such transactions include transactions in futures and options on futures involving financial instruments regulated solely by the CFTC.

Closing or Exercising Option Positions. A transaction initiated by an Access Person to exercise an option or to close an option transaction must also receive prior transaction clearance. If an intervening client transaction in the underlying security has occurred since the position was opened, the Access Person may not receive prior clearance to initiate a transaction to exercise the option or to close out the position, as applicable. The sale of an option by an Access Person must receive prior clearance, which also covers the exercise of that option against the Access Person, if one occurs.

Short Sales . Short sales by Access Persons are subject to prior clearance unless the security itself does not otherwise require prior clearance. In addition, Access Persons may not sell any security short which is owned by any client of one of the Price Advisers unless a transaction in that security would not require prior clearance. Short sales of Price Group stock are not permitted. All short sales are subject to the 60-Day Rule described below.

The 60-Day Rule. Access Persons are prohibited from profiting from the purchase and sale or sale and purchase ( e.g., short sales and certain option transactions) of the same (or equivalent) securities within 60 calendar days. An "equivalent" security means any option, warrant, convertible security, stock appreciation right, or similar right with an exercise or conversion privilege at a price related to the subject security, or similar securities with a value derived from the value of the subject security. Thus, for example, the rule prohibits options transactions on or short sales of a security that may result in a gain within 60 days of the purchase of the underlying security. In addition, the rule applies regardless of the Access Person`s other holdings of the same security or whether the Access Person has split his or her holdings into tax lots. For example, if an Access Person buys 100 shares of XYZ stock on March 1, 2003 and another 100 shares of XYZ stock on November 27, 2007, he or she may not sell any shares of XYZ stock at a profit for 60 days following November 27, 2007.

Similarly, an Access Person must own the underlying security for more than 60 days before entering into any options transaction on that security.

The 60-Day Rule "clock" restarts each time the Access Person trades in that security.

The closing of a position in an option or Contract for Difference on any security other than an index will result in a 60-Day Rule violation if the position was opened within the 60-day window and the closing transaction results in a gain. Multiple positions will not be netted to determine an overall gain or loss in options on the same underlying security expiring on the same day.

The 60-Day Rule does not apply to:

any transaction by a Non-Access Person other than transactions in Price Group stock not excluded below;

any transaction which because of its nature or the nature of the security involved does not require prior transaction clearance ( e.g., if an Access Person inherits a security, a transaction that did not require prior transaction clearance, then he or she may sell the security inherited at a profit within 60 calendar days of its acquisition; other examples include the purchase or sale of a unit investment trust, including SPYDER and QQQQ, the exercise of a corporate stock option by an Access Person`s spouse, or pro-rata distributions; see pp. 5-9; 5-10; 5-11);

the purchase and sale or sale and purchase of exchange-traded index options;

any transaction in Price Group stock effected through the ESPP (note that the 60- Day Rule does apply to shares transferred out of the ESPP to a securities account;

generally, however, an employee remaining in the ESPP may not transfer shares held less than 60 days out of the ESPP);

the exercise of "company-granted" Price Group stock options or receipt of Price Group shares through Company-based awards and the subsequent sale of the derivative shares; and

any purchase of Price Group stock through an established dividend reinvestment plan.

Prior transaction clearance procedures do not check compliance with the 60-Day Rule when considering a trading request. Access Persons are responsible for checking their compliance with this rule before entering a trade. If you have any questions about whether this Rule will be triggered by a proposed transaction, you should contact the Code Compliance Section or the TRP International Compliance Team before requesting prior transaction clearance for the proposed trade.

Access Persons may request in writing an interpretation from the Chairperson of the Ethics Committee that the 60-Day Rule should not apply to a specific transaction or transactions.

Expanded Holding Period Requirement for Employees in Japan. Securities owned by Staff employed by the Tokyo branch of T. Rowe Price Global Services Limited may be subject to a longer holding period than 60 days. If you have any questions about this restriction, you should contact the TRP International Compliance Team.

Investments in Non-Listed Securities Firms. Access Persons may not purchase or sell the shares of a broker/dealer, underwriter or federally registered investment adviser unless that entity is traded on an exchange or listed as a NASDAQ stock or prior transaction clearance is given under the private placement procedures ( see p. 5-14).

REPORTING OF ONE — HALF OF ONE PERCENT OWNERSHIP. If an employee owns more than 1/2 of 1% of the total outstanding shares of a public or private company, he or she must immediately report this in writing to the Code Compliance Section, providing the name of the company and the total number of such company's shares beneficially owned.

GAMBLING RELATED TO THE SECURITIES MARKETS. All persons subject to the Code are prohibited from wagering, betting or gambling related to individual securities, securities indices, currency spreads, or other similar financial indices or instruments. This prohibition applies to wagers placed through casinos, betting parlors or internet gambling sites and is applicable regardless of where the activity is initiated ( e.g., home or firm computer or telephone). This specific prohibition does not restrict the purchase or sale of securities through a securities account reporting to the Code Compliance Section even if these transactions are effected with a speculative investment objective.
