          ------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------

   6.1   Obligation of Sender.  The  Sub-Transfer  Agent is authorized to promptly  debit the  appropriate  Transfer  Agent
         account(s) upon the receipt of a payment order in compliance with the selected  security  procedure (the "Security
         Procedure")  chosen for funds transfer and in the amount of money that the Sub-Transfer  Agent has been instructed
         to transfer.  The  Sub-Transfer  Agent shall execute payment orders in compliance with the Security  Procedure and
         with the Transfer  Agent  instructions  on the execution  date provided that such payment order is received by the
         customary  deadline for processing  such a request,  unless the payment order  specifies a later time. All payment
         orders and  communications  received  after this the  customary  deadline will be deemed to have been received the
         next business day.

   6.2   Security Procedure.  The Transfer Agent acknowledges that the Security Procedure it has designated on the Transfer
         Agent  Selection  Form was selected by the Transfer  Agent from security  procedures  offered by the  Sub-Transfer
         Agent. The Transfer Agent shall restrict access to confidential  information relating to the Security Procedure to
         authorized  persons as  communicated  to the  Sub-Transfer  Agent in writing.  The Transfer  Agent must notify the
         Sub-Transfer Agent immediately if it has reason to believe  unauthorized  persons may have obtained access to such
         information or of any change in the Transfer Agent's  authorized  personnel.  The Sub-Transfer  Agent shall verify
         the authenticity of all Transfer Agent instructions according to the Security Procedure.

   6.3   Account  Numbers.  The  Sub-Transfer  Agent shall  process all payment  orders on the basis of the account  number
         contained in the payment order. In the event of a discrepancy  between any name indicated on the payment order and
         the account number, the account number shall take precedence and govern.

   6.4   Rejection.  The  Sub-Transfer  Agent reserves the right to decline to process or delay the processing of a payment
         order  which  (a) is in  excess  of the  collected  balance  in the  account  to be  charged  at the  time  of the
         Sub-Transfer  Agent's  receipt of such  payment  order;  (b) if  initiating  such  payment  order  would cause the
         Sub-Transfer  Agent, in the Sub-Transfer  Agent's reasonable  judgement,  to exceed any volume,  aggregate dollar,
         network,  time,  credit  or  similar  limits  which  are  applicable  to  the  Sub-Transfer  Agent;  or (c) if the
         Sub-Transfer Agent, in good faith, is unable to satisfy itself that the transaction has been properly authorized.

   6.5   Cancellation  Amendment.  The Sub-Transfer Agent shall use reasonable efforts to act on all authorized requests to
         cancel or amend payment orders received in compliance with the Security  Procedure provided that such requests are
         received in a timely manner affording the  Sub-Transfer  Agent reasonable  opportunity to act.  However,  provided
         such  reasonable  efforts are made,  the  Sub-Transfer  Agent assumes no liability if the request for amendment or
         cancellation cannot he satisfied.

   6.6   Errors.  The Sub-Transfer  Agent shall assume no responsibility  for failure to detect any erroneous payment order
         provided  that  the  Sub-Transfer  Agent  complies  with  the  payment  order  instructions  as  received  and the
         Sub-Transfer Agent complies with the Security Procedure.  The Security Procedure is established for the purpose of
         authenticating payment orders only and not for the detection of errors in payment orders.

   6.7   Interest.  The Sub-Transfer  Agent shall assume no responsibility for lost interest with respect to the refundable
         amount of any unauthorized  payment order,  unless the Sub-Transfer Agent is notified of the unauthorized  payment
         order within thirty (30) days of notification by the  Sub-Transfer  Agent of the acceptance of such payment order.
         In no event  (including  failure to execute a payment order) shall the  Sub-Transfer  Agent be liable for special,
         indirect or consequential damages, even if advised of the possibility of such damages.

  6.8    ACH Credit  Entries/Provisional  Payments.  When the Transfer Agent initiates or receives Automated Clearing House
         credit and debit entries  pursuant to these  guidelines  and the rules of the National  Automated  Clearing  House
         Association and the New England  Clearing House  Association,  the  Sub-Transfer  Agent or its bank will act as an
         Originating  Depository Financial Institution and/or Receiving Depository Financial  Institution,  as the case may
         be, with respect to such entries.  Credits given by the Sub-Transfer Agent with respect to an ACH credit entry are
         provisional  until the Sub-Transfer  Agent receives final settlement for such entry from the Federal Reserve Bank.
         If the Sub-Transfer Agent does not receive such final settlement,  the Transfer Agent agrees that the Sub-Transfer
         Agent shall receive a refund of the amount credited to the Transfer Agent in connection  with such entry,  and the
         party  making  payment to the  Transfer  Agent via such  entry  shall not be deemed to have paid the amount of the
         entry.

   6.9   Confirmation.  Confirmation  of  Sub-Transfer  Agent's  execution of payment  orders shall  ordinarily be provided
         within  twenty four (24) hours  notice of which may be  delivered  through the  Sub-Transfer  Agent's  proprietary
         information  systems, or by facsimile or call-back.  Transfer Agent must report any objections to the execution of
         an order within thirty (30) days.

         ---------------------------------------

   7.1   The  Transfer  Agent  acknowledges  that  the  databases,  computer  programs,  screen  formats,  report  formats,
         interactive  design  techniques,  and  documentation  manuals  furnished to the Transfer Agent by the Sub-Transfer
         Agent as part of the Fund's  ability to access  certain  Fund-related  data  ("Customer  Data")  maintained by the
         Sub-Transfer  Agent on databases under the control and ownership of the Sub-Transfer Agent or a third party ("Data
         Access  Services")  constitute  copyrighted,   trade  secret,  or  other  proprietary  information  (collectively,
         "Proprietary  Information") of substantial value to the Sub-Transfer  Agent or other third party.In no event shall
         Proprietary  Information be deemed Customer Data. The Transfer Agent agrees to treat all  Proprietary  Information
         as proprietary to the Sub-Transfer Agent and further agrees that it shall not divulge any Proprietary  Information
         to any person or organization  except as may be provided hereunder,  Without limiting the foregoing,  the Transfer
         Agent agrees for itself and its employees and agents to:

         (a)   Use such programs and databases (i) solely on the Transfer Agent's computers,  or (ii) solely from equipment
         at the location  agreed to between the  Sub-Transfer  Agent and the Transfer  Agent and (iii) solely in accordance
         with the Sub-Transfer Agent's applicable user documentation;

         (b)   Refrain from copying or duplicating in any way (other than in the normal course of performing  processing on
         the Transfer Agent's computer(s)), the Proprietary Information;

         (c)   Refrain  from  obtaining  unauthorized  access to any portion of the  Proprietary  Information,  and if such
         access is  inadvertently  obtained,  to inform in a timely manner of such fact and dispose of such  information in
         accordance with the Sub-Transfer Agent's instructions;

         (d)    Refrain from causing or allowing  information  transmitted  from the  Sub-Transfer  Agent's computer to the
         Transfer Agent's  terminal to be retransmitted to any other computer  terminal or other device except as expressly
         permitted by the Sub-Transfer Agent (such permission not to be unreasonably withheld);

         (e)   Allow the  Transfer  Agent to have access  only to those  authorized  transactions  as agreed to between the
         Sub-Transfer Agent and the Transfer Agent; and

         (f)   Honor all reasonable written requests made by the Sub-Transfer Agent to protect at the Sub-Transfer  Agent's
         expense the rights of the  Sub-Transfer  Agent in Proprietary  Information at common law, under federal  copyright
         law and under other federal or state law.

   7.2   Proprietary  Information  shall not  include  all or any portion of any of the  foregoing  items that:  (i) are or
         become publicly available without breach of this Agreement;  (ii) are released for general disclosure by a written
         release by the Transfer  Agent;  (iii) are already in the possession of the receiving party at the time of receipt
         without obligation of  confidentiality or breach of this Agreement;  or (iv) are determined by the Transfer Agent,
         on the advice of counsel, to be required by law to be disclosed.

   7.3   `The Fund  acknowledges that its obligation to protect the Transfer Agent's  Proprietary  Information is essential
         to the business  interest of the Transfer Agent and that the disclosure of such Proprietary  Information in breach
         of this Agreement would cause the Transfer Agent immediate,  substantial and irreparable  harm, the value of which
         would be extremely difficult to determine.  Accordingly, the parties agree that, in addition to any other remedies
         that may be available in law,  equity,  or otherwise for the disclosure or use of the  Proprietary  Information in
         breach of this Agreement,  the Transfer Agent shall be entitled to seek and obtain a temporary  restraining order,
         injunctive relief, or other equitable relief against the continuance of such breach.

   7.4   If the Transfer  Agent  notifies  the  Sub-Transfer  Agent that any of the Data Access  Services do not operate in
         material  compliance with the most recently issued user  documentation for such services,  the Sub-Transfer  Agent
         shall endeavor in a timely manner to correct such failure.  Organizations  from which the  Sub-Transfer  Agent may
         obtain certain data included in the Data Access Services are solely  responsible for the contents of such data and
         the Transfer  Agent agrees to make no claim  against the  Sub-Transfer  Agent  arising out of the contents of such
         third-party  data,  including,  but not limited to, the accuracy  thereof except when the  Sub-Transfer  Agent has
         actual knowledge of the inaccuracy of such data and does not notify the Transfer Agent of such inaccuracy.  EXCEPT
         AS SPECIFICALLY  PROVIDED HEREIN, DATA ACCESS SERVICES AND ALL COMPUTER PROGRAMS AND SOFTWARE  SPECIFICATIONS USED
         IN CONNECTION  THEREWITH ARE PROVIDED ON AN AS IS, AS AVAILABLE BASIS. THE SUB-TRANSFER AGENT EXPRESSLY  DISCLAIMS
         ALL WARRANTIES  EXCEPT THOSE  EXPRESSLY  STATED HEREIN  INCLUDING,  BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED  WARRANTIES OF
         MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

   7.5    If the transactions  available to the Transfer Agent include the ability to originate electronic  instructions to
           the  Sub-Transfer  Agent in order to (i) effect the  transfer  or  movement  of cash or Shares or (ii)  transmit
           Shareholder  information or other  information,  then in such event the Sub-Transfer  Agent shall be entitled to
           rely on the validity and  authenticity of such  instruction  without  undertaking any further inquiry as long as
           such  instruction is undertaken in conformity with security  procedures  established by the  Sub-Transfer  Agent
           from time to time.

   7.6   Each party shall take reasonable efforts to advise its employees of their obligations  pursuant to this Section 7.
                                                                                                                 ---------

         limits to ensure the accuracy of all services  performed under this Agreement,  but assumes no responsibility  and

10.      Year 2000
         ---------

         suppliers)  reflect the  available  technology  to offer  products  that are Year 2000 ready,  including,  but not
         limited to, century  recognition  of dates,  calculations  that  correctly  compute same century and multi century
         formulas and date values,  and  interface  values that  reflect the date issues  arising  between now and the next
         one-hundred  years, and if any changes are required,  the Sub-Transfer Agent will make the changes to its products
         at a price to be  agreed  upon by the  parties  and in a  commercially  reasonable  time  frame  and will  require
         third-party suppliers to do likewise.

11.      Confidentiality
         ---------------

   11.1  The  Sub-Transfer  Agent and the  Transfer  Agent  agree that they will not,  at any time  during the term of this

         Transfer Agent further  covenant and agree to retain all such knowledge and information  acquired during and after

         whatsoever in trust for the sole benefit of the Sub-Transfer  Agent or the Transfer Agent and their successors and
         assigns.  In the event of breach of the foregoing by either party,  the remedies  provided by Section 7.3 shall be
                                                                                                       -----------

         purposes of providing  services  under this  Agreement.  The  Sub-Transfer  Agent agrees that it will not disclose
         nonpublic, personal information as defined under Regulation S-P. other than as permitted by Regulation S-P.

         authorities (i.e.,  divorce and criminal actions),  the Sub-Transfer Agent will endeavor to notify the Fund and to
         secure  instructions  from an  authorized  officer  of the  Fund as to such  inspection.  The  Sub-Transfer  Agent
         expressly reserves the right,  however, to exhibit the Shareholder records to any person whenever it is advised by
         counsel  that it may be held  liable for the  failure  to exhibit  the  Shareholder  records to such  person or if
         required by law or court order.

         Sub-Transfer  Agent (which  notice shall  include the scope of the audit),  to conduct an audit of such records as

         Transfer  Agent desire to move any of the services  provided by the  Sub-Transfer  Agent  hereunder to a successor
         service  provider  prior to the  expiration  of the then current  Initial or Renewal Term, or without the required
         notice,  the  Sub-Transfer  Agent shall make a good faith effort to facilitate  the conversion on such prior date;

         the Fund is  liquidated  or its assets  merged or purchased  or the like with or by another  entity which does not

         equal to six (6) months of the  Sub-Transfer  Agent's fees then currently in effect.  Such six-month  charge shall
         not apply if the  Transfer  Agent  terminates  this  Agreement  pursuant to Section  13.7 or if this  Agreement is

   13.3  Expiration  of Term.  During the Initial Term or Renewal  Term,  whichever  currently is in effect,  should either
         party  exercise  its right to  terminate,  all  reasonable  out-of-pocket  expenses or costs  associated  with the
         movement of records and  material  will be borne by the  Transfer  Agent.  Additionally,  the  Sub-Transfer  Agent
         reserves the right to charge for any other  reasonable  expenses  associated with such  termination.  Section 13.3
                                                                                                               ------------

         than materials or information required to be retained by such party under applicable laws or regulations.

   13.5  Unpaid Invoices,  The Sub-Transfer  Agent may terminate this Agreement  immediately upon an unpaid invoice payable
         by the Fund to the  Sub-Transfer  Agent being  outstanding for more than ninety (90) days,  except with respect to
         any amount subject to a good faith dispute within the meaning of Section 3.4 of this Agreement.
                                                                          -----------

   13.6  Bankruptcy.  Either party hereto may terminate this Agreement by notice to the other party,  effective at any time
         specified  therein,  in the event that (a) the other  party  ceases to carry on its  business  or (b) an action is
         commenced  by or against the other party under Title 11 of the United  States Code or a receiver,  conservator  or
         similar officer is appointed for the other party and such suit,  conservatorship or receivership is not discharged
         within thirty (30) days or such other time period as agreed to by the parties.

   13.7  Cause.  If either of the  parties  hereto  becomes  in  default in the  performance  of its duties or  obligations
         hereunder,  and such default has a material  effect on the other  party,  then the  non-defaulting  party may give
         notice to the defaulting party specifying the nature of the default in sufficient  detail to permit the defaulting
         party to identify and cure such  default.  If the  defaulting  party fails to cure such default  within sixty (60)
         days of receipt of such notice,  or within such longer  period of time as the parties may agree is  necessary  for
         such cure,  then the  non-defaulting  party may terminate  this Agreement upon notice of not less than thirty (30)
         days to the defaulting party.
