I understand the Funds’ and/or Money Market Fund investment objectives and policies and agree to be bound by the terms of the applicable Prospectus.
I intend to purchase and agree to be bound by all the terms, conditions and account features selected in any and all parts of this application and the
prospectus. A copy of the current prospectus(es) can be accessed at www.tcw.com. Before I request an exchange or purchase additional shares of any Fund,

age and have legal capacity to make this purchase.
The Funds, the applicable fund, its transfer agent, and any officers, directors, employees, or agents of these entities (collectively “TCW Funds”) will not be
responsible for banking system delays beyond their control. By completing SECTIONS 5, 6, 8 OR 9, I hereby authorize my bank to honor all entries to my
bank account initiated through U.S. Bank, NA, on behalf of the applicable Fund. The TCW Funds will not be liable for acting upon instruction believed to be
genuine and in accordance with the procedures described in the Prospectus or the rules of the Automated Clearing House. When AIP or Telephone Purchase
transactions are presented, sufficient collected funds must be in my account to pay them. I agree that my bank’s treatment and rights with respect to each
entry shall be the same as if it were signed by me personally. I agree that if any such entries are dishonored with good or sufficient cause, my bank shall be
under no liability whatsoever. I further agree that any such authorization, unless previously terminated by my bank in writing, is to remain in effect until the
Fund’s transfer agent receives and has had reasonable amount of time to act upon a written notice of revocation.
I authorize the Fund to perform a credit check based on the information provided, if necessary.

Under penalty of perjury, I certify that:

1. The Social Security number or the taxpayer identification number shown on this form is correct, and
2. I am not subject to backup withholding either because (a) I am exempt from backup withholding, or (b) I have not been notified by the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) that I am subject to backup withholding as a result of failure to report all interest or dividends, or (c) the IRS has notified me
that I am no longer subject to backup withholding, and
3. I am a U.S. person (including a U.S. resident alien).
4. I understand that, if no activity occurs in my account within the time period specified by applicable state law, the assets in my account may be con-
sidered abandoned and transferred (also known as “escheated”) to the appropriate state regulators. I understand that the escheatment time period
varies by state.
5. I am exempt from FATCA reporting.

Certification Instructions: You must cross out item 2 above if you have been notified by the IRS that you are currently subject to backup withholding
