SUB TRANSFER AGENCY AGREEMENT

AGREEMENT made by and between the institution executing this Agreement (“Recordkeeper”) and the investment companies executing this Agreement (each a “Trust” and collectively the “Trusts”) on behalf of themselves and each of their series or classes of shares (each a “Fund”, collectively, the “Funds”).

WHEREAS, each Trust desires to enter into a Sub Transfer Agency Agreement pursuant to which the Trust will retain the Recordkeeper to perform certain recordkeeping, processing and reporting services and functions (i) with respect to transactions in shares of the Funds (“Shares”) listed on Exhibit A, made by or on behalf of participants in certain employee benefit plans (the “Plans”), and (ii) with respect to holdings of Shares maintained by or on behalf of such participants, through a single master shareholder account each such Plan maintains with the Funds’ transfer agent (“Transfer Agent”); and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the following premises and mutual covenants, the parties agree as follows:

1.
  Services Provided by The Recordkeeper

When and to the extent requested by the Trust, the Recordkeeper agrees to perform recordkeeping, processing and reporting services and functions (i) with respect to transactions in Shares made by or on behalf of participants in a Plan (“Participants”), and (ii) with respect to holdings of Shares maintained by or on behalf of Participants, through a single master shareholder account the Plan maintains with the Transfer Agent. To the extent requested, the Recordkeeper will provide the following services:

A.
  Maintain separate records for each Participant reflecting Shares purchased, redeemed and exchanged on behalf of such Participant and outstanding balances of Shares owned by or for the benefit of such Participant.

B.
  Prepare and transmit to Plan and/or its Participants periodic account statements indicating the number of Shares owned by or for the benefit of Participants and purchases, redemptions and exchanges of Shares made on behalf of Participants.

C.
  With respect to each Plan, aggregate all purchase, redemption and exchange orders made by or on behalf of the Plan’s Participants and transmit instructions based on such aggregate orders to the Transfer Agent in accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable current prospectus (“Prospectus”) and Statement of Additional Information (“SAI”), the applicable rules, regulations and requirements, and the terms of this Agreement.

D.
  Transmit to the Plan(s) prospectuses, proxy materials, shareholder reports, and other information provided by the Trust and required to be sent to shareholders under the Federal securities laws.

E.
  Provide to the Trust, the Transfer Agent and/or other parties designated by them such other information relating to transactions in and holdings of Shares by or on behalf of Participants as is reasonably requested.

1



2.
  Transactions in Shares.

A. The Funds will execute all accepted orders for the purchase of any Shares at the next determined public offering price per share (i.e., the net asset value per share plus the applicable initial sales load, if any) and the Funds will execute all accepted orders for the redemption of any Shares at the next determined net asset value per share, in each case as described in the Prospectus. The Funds reserve the right to reject any purchase request in their sole discretion.

B. Recordkeeper certifies that it will at all times follow relevant rules, regulations and requirements in connection with the handling of orders for transactions in the Funds, including, without limitation:

(i)
  Rule 22c-1(a) and other applicable rules under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“Investment Company Act”);

(ii)
  the provisions of this Agreement; and

(iii)
  the Prospectus.

C. Recordkeeper further certifies that it:

(i)
  has adopted and implemented and will monitor, on a continuous basis, its compliance with procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations of relevant law, regulation and Prospectus requirements with respect to late trading, market timing and abusive trading practices;

(ii)
  has determined that each of Recordkeeper’s Agents (as defined below) that accept orders for Shares on the Fund’s behalf has adopted and implemented and will monitor, on a continuous basis, its compliance with its own internal procedures reasonably designed to prevent violations of relevant law, regulation and Prospectus requirements with respect to late trading, market timing and abusive trading practices;

(iii)
  upon request, will provide information and further certification to the Funds or their designee to verify compliance with this Section 2 and Section D in Exhibit B; and

(iv)
  will cooperate in monitoring and enforcing the Trust’s market timing, late trading, and any redemption fee policies as set forth in the Prospectus and such other policies established by the Trust from time to time.

D. The Recordkeeper agrees that neither the Funds nor any of their affiliates or agents will have any responsibility or liability to review any purchase or redemption request which is presented by Recordkeeper (i) to determine whether such request is genuine or authorized by a Plan or (ii) to determine the suitability of a particular Fund or Class for such Plan or its Participants. The Funds and their affiliates and agents will be entitled to rely conclusively on any purchase or redemption request communicated to the Funds by Recordkeeper, and will have no liability whatsoever for any losses, claims or damages to or against Recordkeeper or any Plan or Participant resulting from the failure of Recordkeeper to transmit any such request, or from any errors contained in any request.

E. Recordkeeper confirms that it will be considered the Funds’ agent for the sole purpose of receiving purchase and redemption orders from Plans and transmitting them to the Transfer Agent.

F. The Trust hereby acknowledges and agrees that, at the expense of Recordkeeper, the Recordkeeper may appoint a third party as its agent, including affiliates of Recordkeeper (“the Recordkeeper’s Agent”)

2




to provide the services hereunder, including, to the extent required hereunder, plan-level and participant-level recordkeeping, data processing, data entry, maintenance of records, client contact and client servicing, publication and assembly of reports, accounting, distribution administration, bookkeeping and tax reporting services, safekeeping, custody, brokerage and clearing agency services with respect to the Plans. The Recordkeeper shall be as fully responsible to the Trust for the acts and omissions of each Recordkeeper’s Agent as Recordkeeper is for its own acts and omissions.

G. The parties agree that in each transaction in Shares and with regard to any services rendered pursuant to this Agreement (i) Recordkeeper is acting as agent for the Plans; (ii) the Plans are for all purposes the customers of Recordkeeper; (iii) each transaction is initiated solely upon the order of the Plans; (iv) as between Recordkeeper and a Plan, the Plan will have full beneficial ownership of all Shares; (v) each transaction shall be for the account of a Plan and not for Recordkeeper’s account; and (vi) except for the limited purpose of receiving orders for Share transactions from the Plans as described in Section 2E of this Agreement, Recordkeeper shall have no authority to act as agent for the Funds.

3.
  Shareholder Information

A. Effective October 16, 2007, Recordkeeper agrees to provide the Fund, upon written request, the taxpayer identification number (“TIN”), the Individual/International Taxpayer Identification Number (“ITIN”), or other government-issued identifier (“GII”), if known, of any or all Shareholder(s) and the amount, date, name or other identifier of any investment professional(s) associated with the Shareholder(s) if known), and transaction type (purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange) of every purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange of Shares held through a Financial Intermediary Fund Account during the period covered by the request.

  (i) Requests must set forth a specific period, not to exceed one year from the date of the request, for which transaction information is sought. A request may be ongoing and continuous (e.g., for each trading day throughout the year) or for specified periods of time. The Fund may request transaction information older than one year from the date of the request as it deems necessary to investigate compliance with policies established by the Fund for the purpose of eliminating or reducing market timing and abusive trading practices.

  (ii) Recordkeeper agrees to provide, promptly upon request of the Fund or its designee, the requested information specified in 3(a). If requested by the Fund or its designee, Recordkeeper agrees to use best efforts to determine promptly whether any specific person about whom it has received the identification and transaction information specified in 3(a) is itself a financial intermediary (“indirect intermediary”) and, upon further request of the Fund or its designee, promptly either (i) provide (or arrange to have provided) the information set forth in 3(a) for those shareholders who hold an account with an indirect intermediary, or (ii) restrict or prohibit the indirect intermediary from purchasing, in nominee name on behalf of other persons, securities issued by the Fund. Recordkeeper additionally agrees to inform the Fund whether it plans to perform (i) or (ii). (a) Responses required by this paragraph must be communicated in writing and in a format mutually agreed upon by the parties; and (b) to the extent practicable, the format for any transaction information provided to the Fund should be consistent with the NSCC Standardized Data Reporting Format.

  (iii) The Fund agrees not to use the shareholder information received pursuant to this Agreement for marketing or any other similar purpose without the prior written consent of Recordkeeper.

B. Effective October 16, 2007, Recordkeeper agrees to execute written instructions from the Fund to restrict or prohibit further purchases or exchanges of Shares by a Shareholder that has been identified by the Fund as having engaged in transactions of the Fund’s Shares (directly or indirectly through a Financial

3




Intermediary Fund Account) that violate policies established or utilized by the Fund for the purpose of eliminating or reducing market timing or abusive trading practices.

  (i) Instructions to restrict or prohibit trading must include the TIN, ITIN, or GII, if known, and the specific restriction(s) to be executed. If the TIN, ITIN, or GII is not known, the instructions must include an equivalent identifying number of the Shareholder(s) or the Financial Intermediary Fund Account(s) or other agreed upon information to which the instruction relates.

  (ii) Recordkeeper agrees to execute instructions as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than five business days after receipt of the instructions by the Recordkeeper.

  (iii) Recordkeeper must provide written confirmation to the Fund that instructions have been executed. Recordkeeper agrees to provide confirmation as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than ten business days after the instructions have been executed.

C.

B.   The Trust or its agent will furnish notice of the declaration of any income, dividends, or capital gains distributions payable by the Funds.

Typically, this notice will be given by fax transmission, but may be given by other means as may be reasonable under the circumstances.

D.   Execution of orders for Shares
The execution of all orders for Share transactions will be subject to the terms of the Prospectus, these Operating Procedures and, if executed through Fund/SERV, the NSCC’s rules and procedures.

(a)   The Recordkeeper certifies as follows:

  (i) orders to purchase and redeem shares received by Recordkeeper or its Recordkeeper Agents (as defined in Section 2F of the Agreement) prior to the earlier of the close of trading on the New York Stock Exchange or the close of a Fund (generally, 4:00 p.m., Eastern Time (“ET”)) (“Market Close”) on any day that a Fund is open for business (“Day 1”) will be electronically transmitted to the Funds by 8:00 a.m., ET on the next day that the Fund is open for business (“Day 2”)(such orders are referred to as ”Day 1 Trades”); and

  (ii) orders to purchase and redeem shares received by Recordkeeper or its Recordkeeper Agents after the Market Close on Day 1, but prior to the Market Close on Day 2 (“Day 2 Trades”) will be electronically transmitted to the Funds by 8:00 a.m., ET on the second day that the Fund is open for business following Day 1.

  (iii) If the Recordkeeper cannot electronically transmit Day 1 Trades to the Funds by 8:00 a.m., ET on Day 2, Recordkeeper will transmit such orders by facsimile prior to the beginning of trading on the New York Stock Exchange (generally 9:30 a.m ET) on Day 2.

(b) Day 1 Trades will be effected at the NAV calculated as of the Market Close on Day 1, and Day 2 Trades will be effected at the NAV calculated as of the Market Close on Day 2.

F. Payments for Shares shall be made as specified in the Prospectus. If payment for any purchase order is not received in accordance with the terms of the Prospectus, the Funds reserve the right, without notice, to

13




cancel the sale and to hold Recordkeeper responsible for any loss sustained as a result thereof, including loss of profit.

G. Issuance and transfer of each Fund’s shares will be by book entry only. The Funds will not issue stock certificates.

H. The Trust will make available to Recordkeeper a list of the states or other jurisdictions in which Shares are eligible for sale, which list may be revised from time to time. Recordkeeper agrees to sell or offer to sell Shares only in the states and other jurisdictions appearing on the most recent list received from the Trust.

I. If applicable, Recordkeeper agrees to provide each Fund, each Fund’s transfer agent and/or other parties designated by them with information, on a daily basis, regarding the state or jurisdiction of residence of each Plan for which Recordkeeper provides services under this Agreement. Such information shall be provided for purposes of the Funds’ regulatory requirements and shall be in a form mutually agreeable to JPMDS and Recordkeeper.

J. The Fund or its agent will provide Recordkeeper with confirmations of executed trades through Fund/SERV when applicable or by mail or electronic means. Periodic account statements will be provided to Recordkeeper showing the total number of Shares held, Share transactions, dividends and other distribution during the statement period, and such other information as may be required from time to time.
