     This Amendment (“Amendment”) is made as of March 10, 2010, by and between Charles Schwab & Co., Inc. (“Schwab”), a California corporation, and each registered investment company (“Fund Company”) executing this Amendment on its own behalf and on behalf of each of its series or classes of shares (“Fund(s)”) listed on Schedule I hereto, and amends the Operating Agreement between the parties, made as of April 19, 2000, as amended thereafter (“Operating Agreement”). All capitalized terms used in the Amendment and not defined herein shall have the meaning ascribed to them in the Operating Agreement.

     WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend Schedule I to the Operating Agreement; and

     WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend Schedule II to the Operating Agreement.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual promises set forth below, the parties agree as follows:

SCHEDULE II
TO THE OPERATING AGREEMENT

     1. Establishment Fee. The Establishment Fee for the Account(s) for each trading symbol established on Schwab’s system (“Symbol”) with respect to any Fund (i) that is effective under this Agreement and that is effective under a services agreement with Schwab (“Services Agreement”) shall be $1,000, or (ii) that is effective under this Agreement and is not effective under a Services Agreement shall be $2,000. Schwab shall not be entitled to the Establishment Fee for any Symbol that is established solely for the purpose of billing a new or different fee rate for the Fund, as may be set forth in a Services Agreement with Schwab. The Establishment Fee for each Fund shall be paid prior to establishment of the Account(s) for such Fund.

     2. Per Position Maintenance Fees.

          a. The Per Position Maintenance Fee (“PPMF”) shall be as set forth on Schedule I for administrative services performed with respect to the Account(s) for a Fund for each brokerage account on Schwab’s records that holds one or more shares of the Fund (each a “Position”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Fund that is open for purchase through the MFMP to new investors will be charged a minimum PPMF of $7,500 per quarter regardless of the number of Positions, even if such number is zero, unless a waiver of such minimum PPMF is noted on Schedule I.

          b. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any quarter in which a Position contains any shares that were included in the calculation of the Fee under the Services Agreement during such quarter, the PPMF for such Position will be waived. In addition, the PPMF will be waived for any Fund for any quarter such Fund is no longer available for purchase by MFMP investors pursuant to this Agreement on the last Business Day (defined herein as any day on which the New York Stock Exchange is open for trading) of such quarter.

          c. The PPMF will be calculated quarterly by multiplying the number of Positions (other than those excluded under Section 2.b. of this Schedule) in the Account(s) on the last Business Day of such quarter by one quarter (1/4) of the PPMF rate as set forth on Schedule I. The amount billed to each Fund for a quarter shall be the product of such calculation or, if applicable, $7,500, whichever is greater. As soon as practicable after the end of the quarter, Schwab shall provide to Fund Company an invoice for the amount of the PPMF due for each Fund. In the calculation of the PPMF, Schwab’s records shall govern unless an error can be shown in the rate used in such calculation.

          d. The PPMF is due and payable upon receipt of the invoice setting forth such Fee. Payment shall be made by wire transfer. Such wire transfer shall be separate from wire transfers of redemption proceeds or distributions under this Agreement.
