          Securities  Laws and any laws,  rules and  regulations of governmental
          authorities  having  jurisdiction  with  respect  to the  duties to be
          performed by PFPC hereunder.  Except as specifically set forth herein,

          prepared in accordance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act, in order to
          permit  the Board of  Trustees  of the  Trust to meet its  obligations
          under Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act. Furthermore,  PFPC will cooperate

          with the  preparation  of the  yearly  written  report to the Board of
          Trustees of the Trust contemplated by Rule 38a-1(a)(4)(iii)  under the
          1940  Act.  PFPC will  promptly  furnish  the Fund with  copies of all

4.   Instructions.

     (a)  Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement,  PFPC shall act only upon
          Oral Instructions or Written Instructions.

     (b)  PFPC shall be  entitled to rely upon any Oral  Instruction  or Written
          Instruction  it receives from an  Authorized  Person (or from a person
          reasonably  believed by PFPC to be an Authorized  Person)  pursuant to
          this Agreement.  PFPC may assume that any Oral  Instruction or Written
          Instruction received hereunder is not in any way inconsistent with the
          provisions  of  organizational  documents or this  Agreement or of any
          vote,  resolution  or proceeding of the Fund's Board of Trustees or of
          the  Fund's  shareholders,  unless  and until  PFPC  receives  Written
          Instructions to the contrary.

     (c)  The Fund  agrees to forward to PFPC  Written  Instructions  confirming
          Oral  Instructions  (except where such Oral  Instructions are given by
          PFPC or its affiliates) so that PFPC receives the Written Instructions
          by the close of business  on the same day that such Oral  Instructions
          are received.  The fact that such confirming Written  Instructions are
          not received by PFPC or differ from the Oral Instructions  shall in no
          way invalidate the transactions or  enforceability of the transactions
          authorized  by the Oral  Instructions  or PFPC's  ability to rely upon
          such Oral Instructions.

5.   Right to Receive Advice.

     (a)  Advice of the Fund.  If PFPC is in doubt as to any action it should or
          should not take, PFPC may request directions or advice, including Oral
          Instructions or Written Instructions, from the Fund.

     (b)  Advice of Counsel. If PFPC shall be in doubt as to any question of law
          pertaining  to any  action  it should  or  should  not take,  PFPC may
          request  advice from counsel of its own  choosing  (who may be counsel
          for the Fund, the Fund's investment  advisor or PFPC, at the option of
          PFPC).

     (c)  Conflicting  Advice. In the event of a conflict between  directions or
          advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions PFPC receives from
          the Fund, and the advice it receives from counsel,  PFPC may rely upon
          and follow the advice of  counsel.  In the event PFPC so relies on the
          advice of counsel,  PFPC remains  liable for any action or omission on
          the part of PFPC which  constitutes  willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,
          negligence or reckless disregard by PFPC of any duties, obligations or
          responsibilities  set forth in this Agreement.  In any such case, PFPC
          will use its  reasonable  efforts  to  contact  the  Fund  prior to or
          promptly  after  taking any  actions  inconsistent  with  Instructions
          previously received from the Fund.

     (d)  Protection  of PFPC.  PFPC shall be protected in any action PFPC takes
          or does  not  take in  reliance  upon  directions  or  advice  or Oral
          Instructions or Written  Instructions  PFPC receives from or on behalf
          of the Fund or from counsel and which PFPC believes, in good faith, to
          be consistent with those directions or advice or Oral  Instructions or
          Written Instructions. Nothing in this section shall be construed so as
          to impose an obligation upon PFPC to seek such directions or advice or
          Oral   Instructions   or   Written   Instructions.   Nothing  in  this
          subparagraph  shall excuse PFPC when an action or omission on the part
          of PFPC  constitutes  willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,  negligence or
          reckless   disregard   by  PFPC   of  any   duties,   obligations   or
          responsibilities under this Agreement.

6.   Records;  Visits. The books and records pertaining to the Fund which are in
     the  possession  or under the control of PFPC shall be the  property of the
     Fund.  Such books and records shall be prepared and  maintained as required
     by  the  1940  Act  and  other   applicable   securities  laws,  rules  and
     regulations.  The Fund and  Authorized  Persons  shall have  access to such
     books and records at all times during PFPC's normal  business  hours.  Upon
     the  reasonable  request of the Fund,  copies of any such books and records
     shall be provided by PFPC to the Fund or to an  Authorized  Person,  at the
     Fund's expense.

7.   Confidentiality.

     (a)  Each party shall keep  confidential  any  information  relating to the
          other  party's  business  ("Confidential  Information").  Confidential
          Information shall include:

          (i)  any data or information that is competitively sensitive material,

               finances, operations, customer relationships,  customer profiles,
               customer lists,  sales  estimates,  business plans,  and internal

               business  activities  of  the  Fund  or  PFPC,  their  respective
               subsidiaries and affiliated companies and the customers,  clients
               and suppliers of any of them;

               procedure,  formula, or improvement that is commercially valuable
               and secret in the sense that its confidentiality affords the Fund
               or PFPC a competitive advantage over its competitors;

          (iii)all   confidential   or  proprietary   concepts,   documentation,
               reports, data,  specifications,  computer software,  source code,

          (iv) anything designated as confidential.

     (b)  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,  information shall not be Confidential
          Information   and  shall  not  be  subject  to  such   confidentiality
          obligations if it:

          (i)  is  already  known  to the  receiving  party  at the  time  it is
               obtained;

          (ii) is or becomes publicly known or available through no wrongful act
               of the receiving party;

          (iii)is  rightfully  received  from a third  party who, to the best of
               the  receiving  party's  knowledge,   is  not  under  a  duty  of
               confidentiality;

          (iv) is  released  by the  protected  party to a third  party  without
               restriction;

          (v)  is requested or required to be disclosed by the  receiving  party
               pursuant to a court order,  subpoena,  governmental or regulatory
               agency request or law (provided the receiving  party will provide
               the other party  written  notice of the same,  to the extent such
               notice is permitted);

          (vi) is  relevant  to the  defense  of any  claim or  cause of  action
               asserted against the receiving party;

          (vii)is necessary or  desirable  for PFPC to release such  information
               in  connection   with  the  provision  of  services   under  this
               Agreement; or

          (viii) has  been or is  independently  developed  or  obtained  by the
               receiving party.

8.   Cooperation  with  Accountants.   PFPC  shall  cooperate  with  the  Fund's
     independent public accountants and shall take all reasonable actions in the
     performance  of its  obligations  under this  Agreement  to ensure that the
     necessary  information  is  made  available  to  such  accountants  for the
     expression of their opinion, as required by the Fund.

9.   PFPC System.  PFPC shall retain title to and  ownership of any and all data
     bases,  computer  programs,  screen formats,  report  formats,  interactive
     design techniques, derivative works, inventions, discoveries, patentable or
     copyrightable matters,  concepts,  expertise,  patents,  copyrights,  trade
     secrets, and other related legal rights utilized by PFPC in connection with
     the services provided by PFPC to the Fund.  Notwithstanding  the foregoing,

     the transactions of the Fund and its shareholders).

10.  Disaster Recovery.  PFPC shall enter into and shall maintain in effect with
     appropriate parties one or more agreements making reasonable provisions for
     emergency use of electronic  data processing  equipment,  to be implemented
     within a reasonable  time  following  the  inability of PFPC to perform its
     duties  under this  agreement.  In the event of  equipment  failures,  PFPC
     shall,  at no  additional  expense to the Fund,  take  reasonable  steps to
     minimize service  interruptions.  PFPC shall have no liability with respect
     to the loss of data or service  interruptions  caused by equipment failure,
     provided  such loss or  interruption  is not caused by PFPC's  own  willful
     misfeasance,  bad faith,  negligence or reckless disregard of its duties or
     obligations under this Agreement.

11.  Compensation.

     (a)  As compensation for services  rendered by PFPC during the term of this

          the funds in such Service Accounts into investment accounts including,
          but not limited,  investment  accounts  maintained  at an affiliate or
          client of PFPC;  (ii)  balance  credits  earned  with  respect  to the
          amounts in such Service Accounts  ("Balance  Credits") will be used to

          provider (the  "Banking  Service  Fees");  (iii) PFPC shall retain any
          excess Balance  Credits for its own use; and (iv) Balance Credits will
          be  calculated  and applied  toward the Fund's  Banking  Service  Fees

          Sub-Section (i). [We would like to discuss this section further.]

     (c)  The  undersigned  hereby  represents and warrants to PFPC that (i) the
          terms of this  Agreement,  (ii) the fees and expenses  associated with

          disclosed  to the Board of Trustees of the Fund and that,  if required
          by applicable law, such Board of Trustees has approved or will approve
          the terms of this Agreement,  any such fees and expenses, and any such
          benefits.

12.  Indemnification.

     (a)  The Fund agrees to  indemnify,  defend and hold  harmless PFPC and its
          affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, agents and
          employees, from all taxes, charges, expenses,  assessments, claims and
          liabilities (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees
          and  disbursements  and liabilities  arising under the Securities Laws
          and any  state  and  foreign  securities  and blue sky  laws)  arising
          directly or  indirectly  from any action or omission to act which PFPC
          takes in reliance upon Oral or Written Instructions  received from the
          Fund or which PFPC is required or expressly allowed to take or refrain
          from  taking in  accordance  with the  provisions  of this  Agreement.
          Neither PFPC, nor any of its affiliates,  shall be indemnified against
          any liability (or any expenses  incident to such liability)  caused by
          PFPC's  or  its  affiliates'  own  willful  misfeasance,   bad  faith,
          negligence or reckless  disregard of its duties and obligations  under
          this  Agreement,  provided  that in the  absence  of a finding  to the
          contrary the acceptance, processing and/or negotiation of a fraudulent
          payment for the  purchase of Shares shall be presumed not to have been
          the result of PFPC's or its  affiliates own willful  misfeasance,  bad
          faith, negligence or reckless disregard of such duties and obligations
          under this  Agreement.  PFPC shall not make any claim for any  amounts
          payable by the Fund hereunder except against the relevant  Portfolio's
          assets and not against the assets of any other investment Portfolio of
          the Fund.

     (b)  PFPC agrees to  indemnify,  defend and hold  harmless  the Fund,  each
          Portfolio and their affiliates,  including their respective  officers,
          directors/trustees,  agents and  employees,  from all taxes,  charges,
          expenses,  assessments,  claims and  liabilities  (including,  without
          limitation,   reasonable   attorneys'  fees  and   disbursements   and
          liabilities  arising  under  the  Securities  Laws and any  state  and
          foreign  securities and blue sky laws) arising  directly or indirectly
          from any action or  omission  to act of PFPC in  contravention  of the
          terms of this Agreement or caused by PFPC's willful  misfeasance,  bad
          faith,  negligence or reckless disregard of its duties and obligations
          under this  Agreement.  Neither the Fund, any Portfolio nor any of its
          affiliates,  shall  be  indemnified  against  any  liability  (or  any
          expenses   incident  to  such  liability)  caused  by  the  Fund's,  a
          Portfolio's or their affiliates' own willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,
          negligence  or  reckless   disregard  in  the  performance  of  PFPC's
          activities under this Agreement.

     (c)  The  provisions of this Section 12 shall survive  termination  of this
          Agreement.

13.  Responsibility of PFPC.

     (a)  PFPC shall be under no duty to take any action  hereunder on behalf of
          the  Fund  except  as  specifically  set  forth  herein  or as  may be

          hereto.  PFPC shall be obligated to exercise care and diligence in the

          liable only for any damages  arising out of PFPC's  failure to perform
          its duties under this  Agreement to the extent such damages  arise out
          of PFPC's  willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,  negligence  or  reckless
          disregard of such duties.

     (b)  Notwithstanding  anything in this Agreement to the contrary,  (i) PFPC
          shall not be liable for losses, delays, failure, errors,  interruption
          or loss  of  data  occurring  directly  or  indirectly  by  reason  of
          circumstances   beyond  its  reasonable  control,   including  without

          malfunction of utilities,  transportation,  computer or communications

          reasonable backup  arrangements  pursuant to Section 10; and (ii) PFPC
          shall not be under any duty or  obligation  to inquire  into and shall

          thereof,  of any Oral  Instruction or Written  Instruction,  notice or
          other instrument which conforms to the applicable requirements of this
          Agreement and which PFPC reasonably believes to be genuine.

     (c)  Notwithstanding  anything in this  Agreement to the contrary,  neither
          PFPC nor its  affiliates,  nor the  Fund,  the  Portfolios  and  their
          affiliates, shall be liable for any consequential, special or indirect
          losses or  damages,  whether or not the  likelihood  of such losses or
          damages was known by PFPC, its affiliates, the Fund, the Portfolios or
          their affiliates.

     (d)  Each party shall have a duty to  mitigate  damages for which the other
          party may become responsible.

     independent   testing  for  compliance,   or  a  summary   thereof,   or  a
     certification  that the findings of the independent party are satisfactory;
     and (z) a summary of the AML training  provided for appropriate  personnel.
     PFPC  agrees to permit  inspections  relating  to its AML  program  by U.S.

          (i)  Implement  procedures  required under 31 CFR 103.131  pursuant to
               which an "Account" in the Fund is not established unless PFPC has
               obtained  the name,  date of birth (for  natural  persons  only),
               address    and     government-issued     identification    number
               (collectively,   the  "Data  Elements")  for  each  corresponding
               Customer (the terms  "Account" and "Customer" as used herein have
               the same meaning as defined in 31 CFR 103.131).

          (ii) Use collected  Data Elements to attempt to reasonably  verify the
               identity of each  Customer  promptly  before or after  opening an
               Account for such Customer. Methods may consist of non-documentary
               methods (for which PFPC may use unaffiliated  information vendors
               to assist with such  verifications)  and documentary  methods (as
               permitted by 31 CFR 103.131),  and may include  procedures  under
               which PFPC personnel perform enhanced due diligence to verify the
               identities  of  Customers   the   identities  of  whom  were  not
               successfully   verified  through  the  first-level   (which  will
               typically  be reliance on results  obtained  from an  information
               vendor) verification process(es).

          (iii)Record  the  Data  Elements  and  maintain  records  relating  to
               verification   of   new   Customers   consistent   with   31  CFR
               103.131(b)(3).

          (iv) Maintain a database of Fund shareholders and implement procedures
               to  regularly  monitor  such  database  to  ensure  that  no such
               shareholder  is a person who appears on a list  published  by the
               Office of Foreign  Assets  Control or is  otherwise a  prohibited
               investor as  determined  under the  regulations  published by the
               U.S. Department of the Treasury.

          (v)  Regularly  report to the Fund about  measures taken under (a)-(c)
               above.

          (vi) If PFPC  provides  services by which  prospective  Customers  may
               subscribe  for shares in the Fund via the Internet or  telephone,
               work with the Fund to notify  prospective  Customers,  consistent
               with 31 CFR 103.131(b)(5), about the Fund's CIP.

          (vii)Set forth on a separate  fee  schedule  compensation  amounts due
               for these CIP Services. [We would like to discuss this further.]

     (b)  Notwithstanding  anything to the contrary,  and without  expanding the
          scope of the express  language  above,  PFPC need not collect the Data
          Elements for persons who are not deemed to be a "Customer"  or who are
          not opening an "Account," unless the Fund reasonably  requests PFPC to
          perform such functions.

     (c)  Upon the  reasonable  request of the Fund,  PFPC shall  provide to the
          Fund:  (x) a copy of PFPC's  written CIP policies and  procedures  (it
          being understood such information is to be considered confidential and
          treated as such and afforded all protections  provided to Confidential
          Information under this Agreement);  (y) a copy of a written assessment
          or report prepared by the party performing the independent testing for
          compliance, or a summary thereof, or a certification that the findings
          of the independent  party are  satisfactory;  and (z) a summary of the
          AML training provided for appropriate personnel. PFPC agrees to permit
          inspections relating to its CIP program by U.S. Federal departments or
          regulatory   agencies  with  appropriate   jurisdiction  and  to  make
          available to examiners from such  departments  or regulatory  agencies
          such  information  and  records  relating  to its CIP  program as such
          examiners shall  reasonably  request.  PFPC expressly agrees to notify
          the Fund in the event that  PFPC's CIP  program  is  determined  to be
          materially deficient by a law enforcement or regulatory agency.

18.  Duration and Termination.

     (a)  The initial term of the Agreement shall be three years commencing upon
          the date hereof (the "Initial  Term"),  unless  earlier  terminated as
          provided  herein.  Upon the  expiration  of the Initial Term and every
          subsequent  term ("Renewal  Term"),  the term of this Agreement  shall
          automatically  extend for an additional year, unless written notice of
          non-extension  is  delivered by the  non-extending  party to the other
          party no later than three months prior to the expiration of that year.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, at the end of each of the first two
          years of the Initial  Term,  the total net assets of the Fund serviced
          hereunder do not exceed $1 billion, the Initial Term shall be extended
          by an additional year.

     (b)  The Fund shall be  entitled to  terminate  this  Agreement  during the
          Initial  Term or any Renewal Term upon sixty days'  written  notice in
          the event of the acquisition or other change in control of PFPC.

     (c)  In the event the Fund  gives  notice of  termination,  all  reasonable
          expenses  associated  with  movement (or  duplication)  of records and
          materials and conversion  thereof to a successor  transfer agent(s) or
          other  service  provider  will be borne by the Fund. In the event that
          PFPC gives notice of termination,  unless such termination is preceded
          by the  Fund's  material  breach  of this  Agreement,  all  reasonable
          expenses  associated  with  movement (or  duplication)  of records and
          materials and conversion thereof to a successor transfer agent(s) (and
          any other service  provider(s)),  and all reasonable trailing expenses
          incurred by PFPC,  will be borne by PFPC. In the event of termination,
          PFPC agrees that it will  cooperate to affect a smooth  transition  of
          services and to minimize disruption to the Fund and its shareholders.

     (d)  If a party  hereto is guilty of a  material  failure  to  perform  its
          duties and  obligations  hereunder  (a  "Defaulting  Party") the other
          party (the "Non-Defaulting  Party") may give written notice thereof to
          the Defaulting  Party, and if such material breach shall not have been
          remedied  within sixty (60) days after such  written  notice is given,
          then the  Non-Defaulting  Party may terminate this Agreement by giving
          sixty (60) days written  notice of such  termination to the Defaulting
          Party. In all cases, termination by the Non-Defaulting Party shall not
          constitute a waiver by the Non-Defaulting Party of any other rights it
          might have under this  Agreement or otherwise  against the  Defaulting
          Party.

     (e)  Notwithstanding  anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary,
          should a  merger,  acquisition,  change  in  control,  re-structuring,
          re-organization  or any  other  decision  involving  the  Fund  or any
          affiliate  (as  defined  under the 1940 Act) of the Fund result in the
          Fund's  desire  to  cease to use  PFPC as the  provider  of any of the
          services  set forth  hereunder  in favor of another  service  provider
          prior to the  expiration of the then current  Initial or Renewal Term,
          PFPC shall make a good faith  effort to  facilitate  a  conversion  of
          services to the Fund's successor service, provider, however, there can
          be no guarantee that PFPC will be able to facilitate such a conversion
          of  services  on  the  conversion  date  requested  by  the  Fund.  In
          connection  with the  foregoing  and prior to such  conversion  to the
          successor  service  provider,  the  payment of all fees to PFPC as set
          forth herein shall be accelerated to a date prior to the conversion or
          termination of services and calculated as if the services had remained
          with PFPC until the expiration of the then current  Initial or Renewal
          Term and calculated at the asset and/or Shareholder account levels, as
          the case may be, on the date notice of termination was given to PFPC.

19.  Registration  as a Transfer  Agent.  PFPC  represents  that it is currently
     registered  with the  appropriate  federal agency for the  registration  of
     transfer  agents,  or  is  otherwise  permitted  to  lawfully  conduct  its
     activities  without such registration and that it will remain so registered
     or able to so conduct such  activities for the duration of this  Agreement.
     PFPC  agrees  that it will  promptly  notify  the Fund in the  event of any
     material change in its status as a registered  transfer agent.  Should PFPC
     fail to be registered  with the SEC as a transfer  agent at any time during
     this  Agreement,  and such  failure to  register  does not  permit  PFPC to
     lawfully  conduct its activities,  the Fund may, on written notice to PFPC,
     terminate this Agreement upon five days written notice to PFPC.

20.  Notices.  Notices  shall  be  addressed  (a) if to  PFPC,  at 301  Bellevue
     Parkway,  Wilmington,  Delaware 19809, Attention:  President (or such other
     address  as PFPC may inform the Fund in  writing);  (b) if to the Fund,  at
     Investors Way, Norwood,  Massachusetts,  02062, Attention:  Chief Operating
     Officer, with a copy to David M. Goldenberg, Esquire, Chief Counsel, Mercer
     Global  Investments,  Inc., at 1166 Avenue of the Americas,  New York,  New
     York 10036; or (c) if to neither of the foregoing, at such other address as
     shall  have been given by like  notice to the sender of any such  notice or
     other  communication  by the other party.  If notice is sent by  confirming
     telegram,  cable,  telex or facsimile sending device, it shall be deemed to
     have been given  immediately.  If notice is sent by  first-class  mail,  it
     shall be deemed to have been given three days after it has been mailed.  If
     notice is sent by  messenger,  it shall be deemed to have been given on the
     day it is delivered.

21.  Amendments.  This Agreement,  or any term thereof, may be changed or waived
     only by a written  amendment,  signed by the party against whom enforcement
     of such change or waiver is sought.

22.  Delegation;  Assignment. PFPC may assign its rights and delegate its duties
     hereunder to any majority-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of PFPC or of
     The PNC Financial Services Group,  Inc.,  provided that PFPC gives the Fund
     sixty (60) days' prior written notice of such assignment or delegation.

23.  Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two or more  counterparts,
     each of which shall be deemed an original,  but all of which together shall
     constitute one and the same instrument.

24.  Further Actions. Each party agrees to perform such further acts and execute
     such further documents as are necessary to effectuate the purposes hereof.

25.  Miscellaneous.

     (a)  Entire  Agreement.  This Agreement  embodies the entire  agreement and
          understanding  between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements
          and  understandings  relating to the subject matter  hereof,  provided
          that the parties may embody in one or more  separate  documents  their
          agreement, if any, with respect to delegated duties.

     (b)  No  Changes  that  Materially  Affect   Obligations.   Notwithstanding
          anything in this  Agreement  to the  contrary,  the Fund agrees not to
          make any  modifications  to its  registration  statement  or adopt any
          policies   which  would   affect   materially   the   obligations   or
          responsibilities  of PFPC hereunder without the prior written approval
          of PFPC, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

     (c)  Captions.  The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience
          of  reference  only  and  in no  way  define  or  delimit  any  of the
          provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.

     (d)  Information.  The Fund will provide such information and documentation
          as PFPC may reasonably request in connection with services provided by
          PFPC to the Fund.

     (e)  Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made in
          Delaware and governed by Delaware law, without regard to principles of
          conflicts of law.

     (f)  Partial  Invalidity.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held
          or made invalid by a court decision,  statute, rule or otherwise,  the
          remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

     (g)  Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall
          inure to the  benefit  of the  parties  hereto  and  their  respective
          successors and permitted assigns.

     (h)  No Representations or Warranties. Except as expressly provided in this
          Agreement,  PFPC hereby disclaims all  representations and warranties,
          express or implied,  made to the Fund or any other person,  including,
          without  limitation,  any warranties  regarding quality,  suitability,
          merchantability,   fitness  for  a  particular  purpose  or  otherwise
          (irrespective of any course of dealing,  custom or usage of trade), of
          any services or any goods  provided  incidental  to services  provided
          under  this  Agreement.  PFPC  disclaims  any  warranty  of  title  or
          non-infringement except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

     (i)  Facsimile  Signatures.  The  facsimile  signature of any party to this
          Agreement shall  constitute the valid and binding  execution hereof by
          such party.

     (j)  Customer  Identification  Program Notice. To help the U.S.  government
          fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering  activities,  U.S.
          Federal law requires each financial institution to obtain, verify, and
          record certain  information  that identifies each person who initially
          opens an account with that  financial  institution on or after October
          1, 2003. Certain of PFPC's affiliates are financial institutions,  and
          PFPC  may,  as a  matter  of  policy,  request  (or may  have  already
          requested) the Fund's name, address and taxpayer identification number
          or other  government-issued  identification number, and, if such party
          is a natural  person,  that party's  date of birth.  PFPC may also ask
          (and may have already asked) for additional  identifying  information,
          and PFPC may take steps (and may have  already  taken steps) to verify
          the  authenticity  and  accuracy  of these data  elements.

     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  the parties  hereto have caused this  Agreement to be
executed as of the day and year first above written.
