SCHEDULE 1

TO THE AMENDMENT TO THE

TRANSFER AGENCY AGREEMENT, FUND ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT AND

BLUE SKY SERVICES AGREEMENT

SERVICE LEVEL STANDARDS

Pursuant to Section 2 of this Amendment, Citi agrees to perform the services described in the Agreements in accordance with the service standards set forth in this Schedule 1. The parties agree that such service standards may be revised from time to time, by mutual agreement. These service standards replace the service standards set forth in the Agreements.

In the event that Citi fails to meet a service standard in any particular month, Citi agrees to take appropriate corrective measures during the following month in order to be in compliance with such standard at the end of such following month. In the event that Citi fails to meet the same service standard in three months (the third of such three months being referred to as the "Trigger Month") in any six-month period, the fees payable to Citi for the month following the Trigger Month shall be reduced as set forth in the table below. Measurements and reporting of the services standards will occur at the Citi services team level, which will include clients other than the Company.

The service standards are subject to all terms and conditions of the Agreements, including without limitation, provisions relating to force majeure and standard of care, and Citi shall not be subject to the service standards set forth herein when (i) Citi has declared a disaster and must operate pursuant to its disaster recovery and business continuity plan; and/or (ii) in the case of events beyond Citi's reasonable control including, without limitation, force majeure events. In addition, it is understood and agreed that the service standards are dependent upon timely cooperation and timely authorization by the Company, its investment adviser and other third parties. Citi shall have no liability for any failure to meet service standards that, directly or indirectly, arises from actions, delays or failures of the Company or its investment adviser or other third parties.

The required performance standard associated with a function will be measured by dividing the total number of times that function was correctly performed during the month by the total number of times that function occurred during the month. With respect to transfer agency-related performance standards for call center abandon rate and call center service level, calculations are based on Citi's service team level's performance where measurements are based on overall performance of the team servicing multiple clients, including the Company.
