This Amendment is made as of the 22nd day of September, 2006, to each Fund Accounting Services Agreement listed on Schedule A (the “Agreement”) between the Funds listed thereon, on behalf of the Portfolios listed thereon (the “Funds”), and DWS Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation (formerly known as Scudder Fund Accounting Corporation) (“FUND ACCOUNTING”).

WHEREAS, on March 19, 2003, the Agreement was amended to authorize FUND ACCOUNTING to delegate to agents to assist it in performing its duties under the Agreement; and

WHEREAS, Deutsche Investment Management Americas Inc. (the “Adviser”) serves as investment adviser and administrator to the Funds pursuant to separate investment management agreements which were amended on March 19, 2003 to authorize the Adviser to delegate to agents to assist it in performing administrative duties thereunder; and

WHEREAS, on April 1, 2003, FUND ACCOUNTING and the Adviser entered into a sub-administration and sub-accounting agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (“State Street”) in which FUND ACCOUNTING and the Adviser delegated to State Street responsibility for performing certain duties which FUND ACCOUNTING and the Adviser otherwise were responsible for under the Agreement and the investment management agreements, respectively; and

WHEREAS, Section 7 of the Agreement entitled “Compensation and FUND ACCOUNTING Expenses” provides that FUND ACCOUNTING shall be entitled to recover its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses, and Section 5 of each investment management agreement provides that the Adviser is not required to pay any expenses of the Fund other than those specifically allocated to the Adviser; and

WHEREAS, the parties wish to amend Section 7 of the Agreement, as amended by the Second Amendment dated as of April 1, 2003, to provide that out-of-pocket expenses payable by the Funds under the Agreement shall include fees from State Street for manual pricing of securities in an amount up to $45,000 per annum across the DWS complex of funds.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

 

1.

The first paragraph of Section 7 of the Agreement shall be amended to read as follows:

 

 

FUND ACCOUNTING shall be paid as compensation for its services pursuant to this Agreement such compensation as may from time to time be agreed upon in writing by the two parties. FUND ACCOUNTING shall be entitled to recover its reasonable telephone, courier or delivery service, and all other reasonable out-of-pocket, expenses as incurred, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and reasonable fees for pricing services. In addition to the charges of pricing vendors as shown on Schedule B to the Second Amendment to the Agreement, out-of-pocket expenses payable by the Funds under the Agreement shall include fees from State Street for manual pricing of securities in an amount up to $45,000 per annum across the DWS complex of funds.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Amendment to be executed by their duly authorized officer as of the day and year first set forth above.
