   2.2   In accordance with the procedures established in the initial Schedule

         those usually employed by the Transfer Agent to perform services under
         Section 1 of this Agreement;

         (b) Involve the provision of information to the Transfer Agent after
         the commencement of the nightly processing cycle of the TA2000 System;

   3.4   Invoices. The Fund agrees to pay all fees and reimbursable expenses

         parties shall otherwise agree and provided that the service mix and
         volumes remain consistent as previously provided in the Initial Term,
         the total fee for all services shall equal the fee that would be
         charged for the same services based on a fee rate (as reflected in a

         twelve-month period of such previous calendar year of the Consumer

         area, as published bimonthly by the United States Department of Labor,

6.       Wire Transfer Operating Guidelines/Articles 4A of the Uniform
         Commercial Code

   6.1   Obligation of Sender. The Transfer Agent is authorized to promptly
         debit the appropriate Fund 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 Transfer Agent has been instructed to transfer. The Transfer Agent
         shall execute payment orders in compliance with the Security Procedure
         and with the Fund 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 Fund acknowledges that the Security Procedure
         it has designated on the Fund Selection Form was selected by the Fund
         from security procedures offered by the Transfer Agent. The Fund shall
         restrict access to confidential information relating to the Security
         Procedure to authorized persons as communicated to the Transfer Agent
         in writing. The Fund must notify the Transfer Agent immediately if it
         has reason to believe unauthorized persons may have obtained access to
         such information or of any change in the Fund's authorized personnel.
         The Transfer Agent shall verify the authenticity of all Fund
         instructions according to the Security Procedure.

   6.3   Account Numbers. The 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


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

   6.5   Cancellation Amendment. The 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 Transfer Agent
         reasonable opportunity to act. However, the Transfer Agent assumes no
         liability if the request for amendment or cancellation cannot
         reasonably be satisfied.

   6.6   Errors. The Transfer Agent shall assume no responsibility for failure
         to detect any erroneous payment order provided that the Transfer Agent
         complies with the payment order instructions as received and the
         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 Transfer Agent shall assume no responsibility for lost
         interest with respect to the refundable amount of any unauthorized
         payment order, unless the Transfer Agent is notified of the
         unauthorized payment order within thirty (30) days of notification by
         the Transfer Agent of the acceptance of such payment order.

   6.8   ACH Credit Entries/Provisional Payments. When the Fund 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
         Transfer Agent 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
         Transfer Agent with respect to an ACH credit entry are provisional
         until the Transfer Agent receives final settlement for such entry from
         the Federal Reserve Bank. If the Transfer Agent does not receive such
         final settlement, the Fund agrees that the Transfer Agent shall receive
         a refund of the amount credited to the Fund in connection with such
         entry, and the party making payment to the Fund via such entry shall
         not be deemed to have paid the amount of the entry.

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

7.       Data Access and Proprietary Information

   7.1   The Fund acknowledges that the databases, computer programs, screen
         formats, report formats, interactive design techniques, and
         documentation manuals furnished to the Fund by the Transfer Agent as
         part of the Fund's ability to access certain Fund-related data


                                       7


         ("Customer Data") maintained by the Transfer Agent on databases under
         the control and ownership of the Transfer Agent or other third party
         ("Data Access Services") constitute copyrighted, trade secret, or other
         proprietary information (collectively but not including any Customer
         Data, "Proprietary Information") of substantial value to the Transfer
         Agent or other third party. In no event shall Proprietary Information
         be deemed Customer Data. The Fund agrees to treat all Proprietary
         Information as proprietary to the 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 Fund agrees for itself and its employees and agents
         except as may be required pursuant to applicable law to:

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

         (b) Refrain from copying or duplicating in any way (other than in the
         normal course of performing processing on the Fund'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 the Transfer Agent in a timely manner of such fact and
         dispose of such information in accordance with the Transfer Agent's
         instructions;

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

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

         (f) Honor all reasonable written requests made by the Transfer Agent to
         protect at the Transfer Agent's expense the rights of the 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; or (iii) are already in the
         possession of the receiving party at the time of receipt without
         obligation of confidentiality or breach of this Agreement.

   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


                                       8


         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 Fund notifies the 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 Transfer Agent shall
         endeavor in a timely manner to correct such failure. Organizations from
         which the Transfer Agent may obtain certain data included in the Data
         Access Services are solely responsible for the contents of such data
         and the Fund agrees to make no claim against the Transfer Agent arising
         out of the contents of such third-party data, including, but not
         limited to, the accuracy thereof. DATA ACCESS SERVICES AND ALL COMPUTER
         PROGRAMS AND SOFTWARE SPECIFICATIONS USED IN CONNECTION THEREWITH ARE
         PROVIDED ON AN AS IS, AS AVAILABLE BASIS. THE 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 Fund include the ability to
         originate electronic instructions to the 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
         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 Transfer Agent from time to time
         and agreed to by the Fund.

   7.6   Each party shall take reasonable efforts to advise its employees of
         their obligations pursuant to this Section 7. The obligations of this
         Section shall survive any earlier termination of this Agreement.

8.       Indemnification

   8.1   The Transfer Agent shall not be responsible for, and the Fund shall
         indemnify and hold the Transfer Agent harmless from and against, any
         and all losses, damages, and reasonable costs, charges, counsel fees,
         payments, expenses and liability arising out of or attributable to:

         (a) All actions of the Transfer Agent or its agents or subcontractors
         required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement, provided that such
         actions are taken in good faith and without negligence or willful
         misconduct;

         (b)  The Fund's lack of good faith, negligence or willful misconduct;

         (c) The reliance upon, and any subsequent use of or action taken or
         omitted, by the Transfer Agent, or its agents or subcontractors on: (i)
         any information, records, documents, data, stock certificates or
         services, which are received by the Transfer Agent or its agents or
         subcontractors by machine readable input, facsimile, CRT data entry,
         electronic instructions or other similar means authorized by the Fund,
         and which have been prepared, maintained or performed by the Fund or
         any other person or firm (other than the Transfer Agent in any respect)
         on behalf of the Fund including but not limited to


                                       9


         any previous transfer agent or registrar; (ii) any instructions or
         requests of the Fund or any of its officers; (iii) any instructions or
         opinions of legal counsel reasonably acceptable to the Fund with
         respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be
         performed by the Transfer Agent under this Agreement which are provided
         to the Transfer Agent after consultation with such legal counsel; or
         (iv) any paper or document, reasonably believed to be genuine,
         authentic, or signed by the proper person or persons;

         (d) The offer or sale of Shares in violation of federal or state
         securities laws or regulations requiring that such Shares be registered
         or in violation of any stop order or other determination or ruling by
         any federal or any state agency with respect to the offer or sale of
         such Shares;

         (e) The negotiation and processing of any checks including without
         limitation for deposit into the Fund's demand deposit account
         maintained by the Transfer Agent; or

         (f) Upon the Fund's request entering into any agreements required by
         the NSCC for the transmission of Fund or Shareholder data through the
         NSCC clearing systems.

   8.2   In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this Section
         8 shall apply, upon the assertion of a claim for which the Fund may be
         required to indemnify the Transfer Agent, the Transfer Agent shall
         promptly notify the Fund of such assertion, and shall keep the Fund
         advised with respect to all developments concerning such claim. The
         Fund shall have the option to participate with the Transfer Agent in
         the defense of such claim or to defend against said claim in its own
         name or in the name of the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent shall in
         no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which
         the Fund may be required to indemnify the Transfer Agent except with
         the Fund's prior written consent.

9.       Standard of Care

         The Transfer Agent shall at all times act in good faith and agrees to
         use its best efforts to ensure the accuracy of all services performed
         under this Agreement, but assumes no responsibility and shall not be
         liable for loss or damage due to errors unless said errors are caused
         by its negligence, bad faith, or willful misconduct or that of its
         employees. Between the Fund and the Transfer Agent the liability
         arising under Section 4-209 of the Uniform Commercial Code will be
         according to this Section 9 of the Agreement.

10.      Confidentiality

   10.1  The Transfer Agent and the Fund agree that they will not, at any time
         during the term of this Agreement or after its termination, reveal,
         divulge, or make known to any person, firm, corporation or other
         business organization, any customers' lists, trade secrets, cost
         figures and projections, profit figures and projections, or any other
         secret or confidential information whatsoever, whether of the Transfer
         Agent or of the Fund, used or gained by the Transfer Agent or the Fund
         during performance under this Agreement. The Fund and the Transfer
         Agent further covenant and agree to retain all such knowledge and
         information acquired during and after the term of this Agreement
         respecting such lists, trade secrets, or any secret or confidential
         information whatsoever in trust for the sole benefit of the Transfer
         Agent or the Fund and their successors and assigns. In the event


                                       10


         of breach of the foregoing by either party, the remedies provided by
         Section 7.3 shall be available to the party whose confidential
         information is disclosed. The above prohibition of disclosure shall not
         apply to the extent that the Transfer Agent must disclose such data to
         its sub-contractor or Fund agent for purposes of providing services
         under this Agreement.

   10.2  In the event that any requests or demands are made for the inspection
         of the Shareholder records of the Fund, other than request for records
         of Shareholders pursuant to standard subpoenas from state or federal
         government authorities (i.e., divorce and criminal actions), the
         Transfer Agent will endeavor to notify the Fund and to secure
         instructions from an authorized officer of the Fund as to such
         inspection. The 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.

11.      Covenants of the Fund and the Transfer Agent

   11.1  The Fund shall promptly furnish to the Transfer Agent the following:

         (a) A certified copy of the resolution of the Board of Trustees of the
         Fund authorizing the appointment of the Transfer Agent and the
         execution and delivery of this Agreement; and

         (b) A copy of the Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of the Fund and all
         amendments thereto.

   11.2  The Transfer Agent 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.

   11.3  The Transfer Agent shall keep records relating to the services to be
         performed hereunder, in the form and manner as it may reasonably deem
         advisable unless otherwise agreed to by the Transfer Agent and the
         Fund. To the extent required by Section 31 of the Investment Company
         Act of 1940, as amended, and the Rules thereunder, the Transfer Agent
         agrees that all such records prepared or maintained by the Transfer
         Agent relating to the services to be performed by the Transfer Agent
         hereunder are the property of the Fund and will be preserved,
         maintained and made available in accordance with such Section and
         Rules, and will be surrendered promptly to the Fund on and in
         accordance with its request.

12.      Termination of Agreement

   12.1  This Agreement may be terminated by either party upon ninety (90) days
         written notice to the other.

   12.2  Should the Fund exercise its right to terminate, all reasonable
         out-of-pocket expenses associated with the movement of records and
         material will be borne by the Fund. Additionally, the Transfer Agent
         reserves the right to charge for any other reasonable


                                       11


         expenses associated with such termination. Payment of such expenses or
         costs shall be in accordance with Section 3.4 of this Agreement.

   12.3  Upon termination of this Agreement, each party shall return to the
         other party all copies of confidential or proprietary materials or
         information received from such other party hereunder, other than
         materials or information required to be retained by such party under
         applicable laws or regulations.

13.      Assignment and Third Party Beneficiaries.

   13.1  Except as provided in Section 14.1, neither this Agreement nor any
         rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned by either party without
         the written consent of the other party. Any attempt to do so in
         violation of this Section shall be void. Unless specifically stated to
         the contrary in any written consent to an assignment, no assignment
         will release or discharge the assignor from any duty or responsibility
         under this Agreement.

   13.2  Except as explicitly stated elsewhere in this Agreement, nothing under
         this Agreement shall be construed to give any rights or benefits in
         this Agreement to anyone other than the Transfer Agent and the Fund,
         and the duties and responsibilities undertaken pursuant to this
         Agreement shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the Transfer
         Agent and the Fund. This Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and be
         binding upon the parties and their respective permitted successors and
         assigns.

   13.3  This Agreement does not constitute an agreement for a partnership or
         joint venture between the Transfer Agent and the Fund. Other than as
         provided in Section 14.1, neither party shall make any commitments with
         third parties that are binding on the other party without the other
         party's prior written consent.

14.      Subcontractors

   14.1  The Transfer Agent may, without further consent on the part of the
         Fund, subcontract for the performance hereof with (i) Boston Financial
         Data Services, Inc., a Massachusetts corporation ("Boston Financial")
         which is duly registered as a transfer agent pursuant to Section
         17A(c)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (ii) a
         Boston Financial subsidiary duly registered as a transfer agent or
         (iii) a Boston Financial affiliate duly registered as a transfer agent;
         provided, however, that the Transfer Agent shall be fully responsible
         to the Fund for the acts and omissions of Boston Financial or its
         subsidiary or affiliate as it is for its own acts and omissions.

   14.2  Without derogating in any way from the limitations imposed by Section
         14.2 above, nothing herein shall impose any duty upon the Transfer
         Agent in connection with or make the Transfer Agent liable for the
         actions or omissions to act of unaffiliated third parties such as by
         way of example and not limitation, Airborne Services, Federal Express,
         United Parcel Service, the U.S. Mails, the NSCC and telecommunication
         companies, provided, if the Transfer Agent selected such company, the
         Transfer Agent shall have exercised due care in selecting the same.

         (the "AML Program"), which is designed to satisfy the requirements of
         the USA PATRIOT Act. Under the USA PATRIOT Act, a mutual fund can elect
         to delegate certain duties with respect to the implementation and
         operation of its AML Program to a service provider, including its

         delegated hereunder. Additionally, the parties acknowledge and agree
         that the Transfer Agent shall only be responsible for performing the
         Delegated Duties with respect to the ownership of, and transactions in,
         shares in the Fund for which the Transfer Agent maintains the
         applicable shareholder information.

3.       Consent to Examination. In connection with the performance by the
         Transfer Agent of the Delegated Duties, the Transfer Agent understands
         and acknowledges that the Fund remains responsible for assuring
         compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act and that the records the Transfer
         Agent maintains for the Fund relating to the AML Program may be
         subject, from time to time, to examination and/or inspection by federal
         regulators in order that the regulators may evaluate such compliance.
         The Transfer Agent hereby consents to such examination and/or
         inspection and agrees to cooperate with such federal examiners in
         connection with their review. For purposes of such examination and/or
