           officers  and  employees  and each  other  person  who  controls  the
           Portfolio or DeAM,  Inc.,  as the case may be,  within the meaning of
           Section  15  of  the  1933  Act  (each,   a  "Covered   Person"   and
           collectively, "Covered Persons"), against any and all losses, claims,
           demands, damages,  liabilities and expenses, joint or several, (each,
           a "Liability" and collectively,  the "Liabilities").  Unless Security
           Management  elects to assume the defense  pursuant to  paragraph  (b)
           Security  Management will bear the reasonable  cost of  investigating
           and defending against any claims therefor and any reasonable  counsel
           fees  incurred in connection  therewith.  This Section 4.2 applies to
           any Liability which arises out of, is based upon or results from:

              (i)  any violation or alleged  violation of the  Securities  Laws,
                   any other statute or common law or are incurred in connection
                   with or as a result of any formal or informal  administrative
                   proceeding or investigation by a regulatory  agency,  insofar
                   as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the ground
                   or alleged  ground  that any direct or  indirect  omission or
                   commission  by the  Company  or the Fund  (either  during the
                   course  of its daily  activities  or in  connection  with the
                   accuracy of its  representations  or its  warranties  in this
                   Agreement)  caused or  continues  to cause the  Portfolio  to
                   violate any federal or state  securities  laws or regulations
                   or  any  other   applicable   domestic   or  foreign  law  or
                   regulations or common law duties or obligations,  but only to
                   the extent that such  Liabilities do not arise out of and are
                   not based upon an omission or  commission of the Portfolio or
                   DeAM, Inc.;

             (ii)  the Fund having  caused the  Portfolio  to be an  association
                   taxable as a corporation rather than a partnership; or

            (iii)  any  misstatement  of a  material  fact or an  omission  of a
                   material  fact  in  the  Company's   registration   statement
                   (including   amendments   thereto)   or   included   in  Fund
                   advertising  or  sales  literature,  other  than  information
                   provided by or on behalf of the  Portfolio  or DeAM,  Inc. or
                   included  in Fund  advertising  or  sales  literature  at the
                   request  of the  Portfolio  or  DeAM,  Inc.  or the  agent of
                   either;

             (iv)  the failure of any  representation  or  warranty  made by the
                   Company or Security Management to be materially accurate when
                   made or the failure of the Company or Security  Management to
                   perform any covenant  contained herein or to otherwise comply
                   with the terms of this Agreement;

              (v)  any  unlawful  or  negligent  act  of the  Company,  Security
                   Management or any director, officer, employee or agent of the
                   Company  or  Security   Management,   whether  such  act  was
                   committed against the Company,  the Portfolio,  DeAM, Inc. or
                   any third party;

             (vi)  any  Liability  of the Fund for which the  Portfolio  is also
                   liable and for which the  Company or Security  Management  is
                   responsible;   provided,  however,  that  in  no  case  shall
                   Security  Management be liable with respect to any claim made
                   against any Covered  Person under this Section 4.2 unless the
                   Covered  Person shall have  notified  Security  Management in
                   writing of the nature of the claim within a  reasonable  time
                   after the  summons,  other first  legal  process or formal or
                   informal   initiation  of  a  regulatory   investigation   or
                   proceeding  shall  have been  served  upon or  provided  to a
                   Covered Person, or any federal, state or local tax deficiency
                   has come to the attention of DeAM,  Inc.,  the Portfolio or a
                   Covered Person. Failure to notify Security Management of such
                   claim shall relieve it from Liability only to the extent that
                   it is  actually  harmed or  disadvantaged  by the  failure to
                   provide   timely  notice  and  shall  not  relieve   Security
                   Management from any Liability that it may have to any Covered
                   Person  otherwise  than  on  account  of the  indemnification
                   contained in this Section.

      (b)  Security  Management  will  be  entitled  to  participate  at its own
           expense in the defense or, if it so elects,  to assume the defense of
           any  suit  brought  to  enforce  any  such  Liability.   If  Security
           Management  elects to  assume  the  defense,  such  defense  shall be
           conducted  by counsel  chosen by  Security  Management.  In the event
           Security Management elects to assume the defense of any such suit and
           retain such counsel,  each Covered Person and any other  defendant or
           defendants may retain additional counsel, but shall bear the fees and
           expenses of such counsel  unless (A) Security  Management  shall have
           specifically  authorized  the  retaining  of such  counsel or (B) the
           parties  to  such  suit  include  any  Covered  Person  and  Security
           Management,  and any such Covered  Person has been advised by counsel
           in writing  that one or more legal  defenses  may be  available to it
           that may not be  available  to  Security  Management,  in which  case
           Security  Management  shall not be  entitled to assume the defense of
           such suit  notwithstanding its obligation to bear the reasonable fees
           and expenses of such counsel. Security Management shall not be liable
           to  indemnify  any  Covered  Person for any  settlement  of any claim
           effected without Security Management's written consent, which consent
           shall not be  unreasonably  withheld or delayed.  The indemnities set
           forth in paragraph (a) will be in addition to any liability  that the
           Company  in respect  of the Fund  might  otherwise  have to a Covered
           Person.

4.3   INDEMNIFICATION BY SECURITY DISTRIBUTORS

      (a)  With respect to those matters listed in subparagraph (i) through (iv)
           below,  Security  Distributors  will  indemnify and hold harmless the
           Portfolio,  DeAM,  Inc.  and their  respective  trustees,  directors,
           officers  and  employees  and each  other  person  who  controls  the
           Portfolio or DeAM,  Inc.,  as the case may be,  within the meaning of
           Section 15 of the 1933 Act (each a "Covered Person" and collectively,
           "Covered  Persons"),  against  any and all losses,  claims,  demands,
           damages,  liabilities  and  expenses,  joint  or  several,  (each,  a
           "Liability" and  collectively,  the  "Liabilities").  Unless Security
           Distributors  elects to assume the defense pursuant to paragraph (c),
           Security  Distributors will bear the reasonable cost of investigating
           and defending against any claims therefor and any reasonable  counsel
           fees  incurred in connection  therewith.  This Section 4.3 applies to
           any Liability which arises out of, is based upon or results from:

              (i)  any  misstatement  of a  material  fact or an  omission  of a
                   material   fact  included  in  Fund   advertising   or  sales
                   literature,  other than information  provided by or on behalf
                   of  the   Portfolio  or  DeAM,   Inc.  or  included  in  Fund
                   advertising  or  sales  literature  at  the  request  of  the
                   Portfolio or DeAM, Inc. or the agent of either;

             (ii)  the  failure  of  any  representation  or  warranty  made  by
                   Security  Distributors to be materially accurate when made or
                   the failure of Security  Distributors to perform any covenant
                   contained  herein or to  otherwise  comply  with the terms of
                   this Agreement;

            (iii)  any unlawful or negligent act of Security Distributors or any
                   director,    officer,   employee   or   agent   of   Security
                   Distributors,  whether  such act was  committed  against  the
                   Company, the Portfolio, DeAM, Inc. or any third party; or

             (iv)  any    material    breach    of    Security     Distributors'
                   representations,  warranties and covenants  included  herein,
                   including  the  representations  that  the Fund  will  permit
                   investments  only  by  IRAs  and  Plans  as  defined  in  the
                   prospectus for the PreservationPlus Income Fund.

      (b)  In no case shall Security  Distributors be liable with respect to any
           claim made  against any Covered  Person under this Section 4.3 unless
           the Covered  Person  shall have  notified  Security  Distributors  in
           writing of the nature of the claim within a reasonable time after the
           summons,  other first legal process or formal or informal  initiation
           of a regulatory  investigation  or proceeding  shall have been served
           upon or provided to a Covered Person, or any federal,  state or local
           tax deficiency has come to the attention of DeAM, Inc., the Portfolio
           or a Covered Person.  Failure to notify Security Distributors of such
           claim shall relieve it from  Liability  only to the extent that it is
           actually  harmed or  disadvantaged  by the failure to provide  timely
           notice and shall not relieve Security Distributors from any Liability
           that it may have to any Covered  Person  otherwise than on account of
           the indemnification contained in this Section.

      (c)  Security  Distributors  will be  entitled to  participate  at its own
           expense in the defense or, if it so elects,  to assume the defense of
           any  suit  brought  to  enforce  any  such  Liability.   If  Security
           Distributors  elects to assume the  defense,  such  defense  shall be
           conducted by counsel  chosen by Security  Distributors.  In the event
           Security  Distributors  elects to assume the defense of any such suit
           and retain such counsel,  each Covered Person and any other defendant
           or defendants may retain additional counsel,  but shall bear the fees
           and expenses of such counsel unless (i) Security  Distributors  shall
           have  specifically  authorized  the retaining of such counsel or (ii)
           the  parties to such suit  include any  Covered  Person and  Security
           Distributors, and any such Covered Person has been advised by counsel
           in writing  that one or more legal  defenses  may be  available to it
           that may not be  available  to Security  Distributors,  in which case
           Security  Distributors shall not be entitled to assume the defense of
           such suit  notwithstanding its obligation to bear the reasonable fees
           and  expenses of such  counsel.  Security  Distributors  shall not be
           liable to  indemnify  any Covered  Person for any  settlement  of any
           claim effected without Security  Distributors'  written consent. Such
           consent  shall  not  be   unreasonably   withheld  or  delayed.   The
           indemnities  set forth in  paragraph  (a) will be in  addition to any
           liability  that  Security  Distributors  might  otherwise  have  to a
           Covered Person.

      (d)  Any material breach of the representations,  warranties and covenants
           included  herein  (including the  representations  that the Fund will
           permit  investments  only  by  IRAs  and  Plans  (as  defined  in the
           prospectus for the PreservationPlus Income Fund) and, other than with
           the  consent  of  the  Portfolio,   that  the  redemption  rights  of
           shareholders  of the Fund will be the same as those  described in the
           prospectus for the PreservationPlus Income Fund.

4.4   THE PORTFOLIO

           Company and Security  Management,  at least 10 business days prior to
           filing  or  first  use,  as the  case  may  be,  with  drafts  of its
           registration  statement  on  Form  N-1A  (including  amendments)  and
           prospectus supplements or amendments.  This advance review period may
           be waived with the consent of the  Company and  Security  Management.
           The Portfolio will not make any written or oral representation  about
           the Company,  Security  Distributors or Security  Management  without
           their prior written consent.

      (b)  TAX STATUS. The Portfolio will qualify to be taxable as a partnership
           under the Code for all  periods  during  which this  Agreement  is in
           effect,  except to the extent that the failure to so qualify  results
           from any action or omission of the Fund.

      (c)  INSURANCE.  The  Portfolio  shall at all times  maintain  errors  and
           omissions  liability  insurance  covering  losses for  negligence and
           wrongful  acts in an amount not less than $10 million.  At least once
           each  calendar  year,  the  Portfolio   shall  review  its  insurance
           coverage, and shall increase its coverage, as it deems appropriate.

      (d)  AVAILABILITY  OF INTERESTS.  Conditional  upon the Company  complying
           with the terms of this Agreement, the Portfolio shall permit the Fund
           to make additional  Investments in the Portfolio on each business day
           on  which  shares  of the  Fund  are  sold to the  public;  provided,
           however,  that the  Portfolio  may  refuse to permit the Fund to make
           additional Investments in the Portfolio on any day on which:

              (i)  the  Portfolio  has refused to permit all other  investors in
                   the  Portfolio  to  make   additional   investments   in  the
                   Portfolio, or

             (ii)  the Trustees of the Portfolio have reasonably determined that
                   permitting   additional   investments  by  the  Fund  in  the
                   Portfolio would constitute a breach of their fiduciary duties
                   to the Portfolio.

           the Company, the Fund, Security Management or Security  Distributors,
           as the case may be,  within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act
           (each,  a "Covered  Person"  and  collectively,  "Covered  Persons"),
           against any and all losses, claims, demands, damages, liabilities and

                   as such Liabilities arise out of or are based upon the ground
                   or alleged  ground  that any direct or  indirect  omission or
                   commission by the Portfolio  (either during the course of its
                   daily  activities or in  connection  with the accuracy of its
                   representations  or its warranties in this Agreement)  caused

                   domestic or foreign law or  regulations  or common law duties
                   or obligations,  but only to the extent that such Liabilities
                   do not  arise out of and are not based  upon an  omission  or
                   commission  of the Company,  Security  Management or Security
                   Distributors;

             (ii)  an inaccurate  calculation of the Portfolio's net asset value
                   (whether by the Portfolio,  DEAM,  INC. or any party retained
                   for that purpose);

            (iii)  (A) any  misstatement  of a material fact or an omission of a

                   investor in the Portfolio  (or  shareholder  thereof),  other
                   than the Fund (and its shareholders); provided, however, that
                   in no case shall DEAM,  INC.  be liable  with  respect to any
                   claim made against any such Covered Person under this Section
                   4.5 unless such Covered Person shall have notified DEAM, INC.
                   in  writing of the  nature of the claim  within a  reasonable
                   time after the summons,  other first legal  process or formal
                   or  informal  initiation  of a  regulatory  investigation  or
                   proceeding  shall  have been  served  upon or  provided  to a
                   Covered Person or any federal,  state or local tax deficiency
                   has  come  to  the   attention  of  the   Company,   Security
                   Management,   Security  Distributors  or  a  Covered  Person.
                   Failure to notify DEAM,  INC. of such claim shall  relieve it
                   from Liability only to the extent that it is actually  harmed
                   or  disadvantaged by the failure to provide timely notice and
                   shall not relieve DEAM,  INC. from any Liability  that it may
                   have to any Covered  Person  otherwise than on account of the
                   indemnification contained in this paragraph.

      (b)  DEAM,  INC. will be entitled to participate at its own expense in the
           defense  or, if it so  elects,  to  assume  the  defense  of any suit
           brought to enforce any such Liability. If DEAM, INC. elects to assume
           the  defense,  such defense  shall be conducted by counsel  chosen by
           DEAM,  INC.. In the event DEAM,  INC. elects to assume the defense of
           any such suit and retain such  counsel,  each Covered  Person and any
           other  defendant  or  defendants  in the suit may  retain  additional
           counsel  but shall  bear the  reasonable  fees and  expenses  of such
           counsel unless (i) DEAM, INC. shall have specifically  authorized the
           retaining  of such  counsel or (ii) the parties to such suit  include
           any Covered  Person and DEAM,  INC.,  and any such Covered Person has
           been advised by counsel, in writing,  that one or more legal defenses
           may be available to it that may not be  available to DEAM,  Inc.,  in
           which case DEAM,  INC. shall not be entitled to assume the defense of
           such  suit  notwithstanding  the  obligation  to bear  the  fees  and
           expenses of such counsel. DEAM, INC. shall not be liable to indemnify
           any  Covered  Person for any  settlement  of any such claim  effected
           without  DEAM,  INC.'s  written  consent.  Such consent  shall not be
           unreasonably  withheld  or  delayed.  The  indemnities  set  forth in
           paragraph (a) will be in addition to any liability that the Portfolio
           might otherwise have to a Covered Person.

4.6   SCOPE OF AGREEMENT

      Nothing  contained herein shall be construed to protect any person against
any  liability  to which such  person  would  otherwise  be subject by reason of
willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,  or  negligence,  in the  performance  of such
person's  duties,  or by  reason of such  person's  reckless  disregard  of such
person's obligations under such contract or agreement.

4.7   IN-KIND REDEMPTION

      In the event the Company desires to withdraw or redeem all or a portion of
the  Fund's  Investment  in the  Portfolio,  unless  otherwise  agreed to by the
parties,  the Portfolio  will effect such  redemption (a) in cash, (b) "in kind"
(as described  below) or (c) in some  combination  of the  foregoing  determined
solely in the discretion of DEAM, INC.. Further, if the Interest Rate Trigger as
described  in the  prospectus  for the  Portfolio is active,  a  redemption  fee
(currently 2% of the proceeds of such redemption) will be applied. In connection
with a partial or complete  redemption "in kind," the Portfolio will  distribute
to the Company  securities and Wrapper Agreements as described in the prospectus
for the  PreservationPlus  Income Fund. The Portfolio will assign to the Company
one or more  Wrapper  Agreements  issued by the Wrapper  providers  covering the
securities  distributed  in  kind.  The  terms  and  conditions  of the  Wrapper
Agreements distributed to the Company will be substantially similar to the terms
and  conditions of the Wrapper  Agreements  held by the  Portfolio.  In order to
obtain  the  benefits  provided  thereunder,  the  Company's  management  of the
securities must be consistent with the Wrapper  Agreement  requirements  and the
Company must complete the  assignment by executing  the Wrapper  Agreements.  No
other  withdrawal  or  redemption  of any  Interest  in the  Portfolio  will  be
satisfied by means of an "in kind"  redemption  except in  compliance  with Rule
18f-1 under the 1940 Act,  provided,  however,  that for purposes of determining
compliance with Rule 18f-1, each shareholder of the Fund redeeming shares of the
Fund on a  particular  day will be treated as a direct  holder of an Interest in
the Portfolio being redeemed that day.

4.8   REASONABLE ACTIONS

      Each  party  covenants  that it will,  subject to the  provisions  of this
Agreement,  from time to time, as and when  requested by another party or in its
own discretion,  as the case may be, execute and deliver or cause to be executed
and delivered all such  assignments and other  instruments,  take or cause to be
taken such actions, and do or cause to be done all things reasonably  necessary,
proper or advisable in order to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement and to carry out its intent and purpose.

           transactions  contemplated  by this  Agreement,  as of  each  date of
           Closing,  with the same  force and effect as if made on and as of the

transactions contemplated hereby.

5.2   APPROVAL OF AUDITORS

      Unless  precluded  by  applicable  fiduciary  duties or the failure of the
Fund's  shareholders  to provide  necessary  ratification,  the directors of the
Company that are not "interested persons" of the Company, as defined in the 1940
Act, shall have selected as the independent certified public accountants for the
Fund the independent  certified public accountants selected and ratified for the
Portfolio.

5.3   INVESTMENT OBJECTIVE/RESTRICTIONS

                              ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS

6.1   NOTIFICATION OF CERTAIN MATTERS

      Each party will give prompt notice to the other parties of:

      (a)  the  occurrence  or  non-occurrence  of any event the  occurrence  or
           non-occurrence of which would be likely to cause either:

              (i)  any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement to
                   be materially untrue or inaccurate, or

             (ii)  any  condition  precedent set forth in Article Five hereof to
                   be  unsatisfied  in any  material  respect at the time of any
                   Closing, and

      (b)  any  material  failure  of a party  to  comply  with or  satisfy  any
           covenant,  condition or agreement to be complied with or satisfied by
           such person hereunder;  provided,  however,  that the delivery of any
           notice  pursuant  to this  Section  6.1 shall not limit or  otherwise
           affect the remedies available,  hereunder or otherwise,  to the party
           receiving such notice.

6.2   ACCESS TO INFORMATION

      The Portfolio and the Company shall afford each other reasonable access at
all reasonable times to such party's officers, employees, agents and offices and
to all its  relevant  books and records and shall  furnish each other party with
all relevant  financial and other data and  information as requested;  provided,
however, that nothing contained herein shall obligate the Company to provide the
Portfolio  with access to the books and  records of the Company  relating to any
series of the Company other than the Fund, nor shall anything  contained  herein
obligate the Company to furnish the Portfolio with the Fund's  shareholder list,
except as may be required to comply with applicable law or any provision of this
Agreement.

6.3   CONFIDENTIALITY

      Each party  agrees  that it shall hold in strict  confidence  all data and
information  obtained from another party (unless such  information is or becomes
readily ascertainable from public or published information or trade sources) and
shall ensure that its officers,  employees and authorized representatives do not
disclose such  information  to others  without the prior written  consent of the
party from whom it was  obtained,  except if  disclosure is required by the SEC,
any other regulatory body or the Fund's or Portfolio's  respective auditors,  or
in the opinion of counsel such disclosure is required by law, and then only with
as much  prior  written  notice to the  other  party as is  practical  under the
circumstances.

6.4   PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS

      No party  shall  issue any press  release  or  otherwise  make any  public
statements  with respect to the matters  covered by this  Agreement  without the
prior  consent  of  the  other  parties  hereto,  which  consent  shall  not  be
unreasonably withheld; provided, however, that consent shall not be required if,
in the opinion of counsel, such disclosure is required by law, provided further,
however,  that the party making such disclosure  shall provide the other parties
hereto with as much prior  written  notice of such  disclosure  as is  practical
under the  circumstances.  Advance review of sales  literature  and  advertising
material shall be subject to the provisions of Section 4.1 of this Agreement.

           instituted  against another party to this Agreement by the SEC or any
           other  regulatory  body,  provided that the  terminating  party has a
           reasonable  belief  that the  institution  of the  proceeding  is not
           without  foundation  and will have a material  adverse  impact on the
           terminating party.

           the event  this  Agreement  is not  terminated,  the  Agreement  will
           require  amendment  to reflect  the  Company's  appointment  of a new
           distributor.

      (g)  The  indemnification  obligations of the parties set forth in Article

           termination.

8.1   APPROPRIATE RELIEF

      The parties  agree that, in the event of a breach of this  Agreement,  the
