The Transfer Agent reserves the right to refuse to transfer or redeem Shares until it is satisfied that the requested transfer or redemption is legally authorized, and it shall incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers or redemptions that the Transfer Agent, in its judgment, deems improper or unauthorized, or until it is satisfied that there is no basis for any claims adverse to such transfer or redemption. The Transfer Agent may, in effecting transfers, rely upon the provisions of the Uniform Act for the Simplification of Fiduciary Security Transfers or the Uniform Commercial Code, as the same may be amended from time to time, which in the opinion of legal counsel for the Company or of the Transfer Agent's own legal counsel protect the Transfer Agent in not requiring certain documents in connection with the transfer or redemption of Shares of the Fund, and the Fund shall indemnify the Transfer Agent for any acts done or omitted by it in reliance upon such laws or opinions of counsel to the Fund or of its own counsel. 13. Distributions. (a) Each Fund will promptly notify the Transfer Agent of the declaration of any dividend or distribution.

(c) The Transfer Agent will replace lost checks upon receipt of properly executed affidavits and maintain stop payment orders against replaced checks. (d) The Transfer Agent will maintain all records necessary to reflect the crediting of dividends that are reinvested in Shares of the Fund of the Company.
