Such compensation will be set forth in a separate schedule to be agreed to by Fund and Service Company. The initial agreement regarding compensation is attached as Exhibit A.

Fund agrees to promptly reimburse Service Company for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses or advances incurred by Service Company in connection with the performance of services under this Agreement including, but not limited to, postage (and first class mail insurance in connection with mailing share certificates), envelopes, check forms, continuous forms, forms for reports and statements, stationery, and other similar items, telephone and telegraph charges incurred in answering inquiries from dealers or shareholders, microfilm used each year to record the previous year's transactions in shareholder accounts and computer tapes used for permanent storage of records and cost of insertion of materials in mailing envelopes by outside firms.

Reference is made herein to the January 15, 2003 agreement, by and between DST SYSTEMS, INC. (“DST”) and Service Company and all subsequent amendments to that agreement (“DST Agreement”). The DST Agreement provides for the fulfillment of Service Company’s transfer agency services outlined in this Agreement by DST and delegated pursuant to Section 21 C of this Agreement. Exhibit D of the DST Agreement provides for certain service level bonuses and liquidated damages based on

the quality of services provided. The parties agree that all liquidated damage payments made by DST to Service Company or its affiliates in respect of the Fund pursuant to Sections C or D of Exhibit D of the DST Agreement shall be passed through to the Fund, and that all bonus payments payable by Service Company in respect of the Fund pursuant to Section E of Exhibit D of the DST Agreement shall be an obligation of, and borne by, the Fund.

All payments made pursuant to this amendment shall be charged or credited to the funds based on the relative number of accounts subject to the Annual Per Account Fee under the Retail and IRA Account Fee Schedule, except omnibus accounts and Matrix Level III accounts. The Retail and IRA Account Fee Schedule does not cover wholesale money funds and is to be distinguished from the Retirement Account Fee Schedule. The number of accounts will be measured on the last day of the period with respect to which the charge or credit is to be assessed. Service Company shall report to the Board of the Fund at least annually regarding any adjustments to anticipated call volumes, and shall report to the Fund as least semi-annually regarding any liquidated damage payments or bonus payments paid to or by the Fund, as the case may be.

Except as provided herein, the terms and provisions of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect without amendment.

In connection with the performance of its services under this Agreement, Service Company is responsible for the accurate and efficient functioning of its system at all times, including:

(1)

The accuracy of the entries in Service Company's records reflecting purchase and redemption orders and other instructions received by Service Company from dealers, shareholders, Fund or its principal underwriter.

(2)

The requiring of proper forms of instructions, signatures and signature guarantees and any necessary documents supporting the rightfulness of transfers, redemptions and other shareholder account transactions, all in conformance with Service Company's present procedures with such changes as may be deemed reasonably appropriate by Service Company or as may be reasonably approved by or on behalf of Fund.

(7)

The maintenance of a current duplicate set of Fund’s essential or required records, as agreed upon from time to time by Fund and Service Company, at a secure distant location, in form available and usable forthwith in the event of any breakdown or disaster disrupting its main operation.

Indemnification.

Fund shall indemnify and hold Service Company harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees, payments, expenses and liabilities arising out of or attributable to any action or omission by Service Company pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the agency relationship created by this Agreement, provided that Service Company has acted in good faith, without negligence and without willful misconduct.

Service Company shall indemnify and hold Fund harmless from and against any and all claims, actions, suits, losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees, payments, expenses and liabilities arising out of or attributable to any action or omission by Service Company pursuant to this Agreement or in connection with the agency relationship created by this Agreement, provided that Service Company has not acted in good faith, without negligence and without willful misconduct.

In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this Section 7 shall apply, upon the assertion of a claim for which either party (the “Indemnifying Party”) may be required to provide indemnification hereunder, the party seeking indemnification (the “Indemnitee”) shall promptly notify the Indemnifying Party of such assertion, and shall keep such party advised with respect to all developments concerning such claim. The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to assume control of the defense and the negotiations, if any, regarding settlement of the claim. If the Indemnifying Party assumes control, the Indemnitee shall have the option to participate in the defense and negotiations of such claim at its

own expense. The Indemnitee shall in no event confess, admit to, compromise, or settle any claim for which the Indemnifying Party may be required to indemnify it except with the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Certain Covenants of Service Company and Fund.

All requisite steps will be taken by Fund from time to time when and as necessary to register Fund’s shares for sale in all states in which Fund’s shares shall at the time be offered for sale and require registration. If at any time Fund receives notice of any stop order or other proceeding in any such state affecting such registration or the sale of Fund’s shares, or of any stop order or other proceeding under the Federal securities laws affecting the sale of Fund’s shares, Fund will give prompt notice thereof to Service Company.

Service Company hereby agrees to establish and maintain facilities and procedures reasonably acceptable to Fund for safekeeping of share certificates, check forms, and facsimile signature imprinting devices, if any; and for the preparation or use, and for keeping account of, such certificates, forms and devices. Further, Service Company agrees to carry insurance, as specified in Exhibit B hereto, with insurers reasonably acceptable to Fund and in minimum amounts that are reasonably acceptable to Fund, which will not be changed without the consent of Fund, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and which will be expanded in coverage or increased in amounts from time to time if and when reasonably requested by Fund. If Service Company determines that it is unable to obtain any such insurance upon commercially reasonable terms, it shall promptly so advise Fund in writing. In such event, Fund shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon 30 days notice.

To the extent required by Section 31 of the Investment Company Act of 1940 and Rules thereunder, Service Company agrees that all records maintained by Service Company relating to the services to be performed by Service Company under this Agreement are the property of Fund and will be preserved and will be surrendered promptly to Fund on request.

Service Company agrees to furnish Fund semi-annual reports of its financial condition, consisting of a balance sheet, earnings statement and any other reasonably available financial information reasonably requested by Fund. The annual financial statements will be certified by Service Company's certified public accountants.

Service Company represents and agrees that it will use all reasonable efforts to keep current on the trends of the investment company industry relating to shareholder services and will use all reasonable efforts to

continue to modernize and improve its system without additional cost to Fund.

Service Company will permit Fund and its authorized representatives to make periodic inspections of its operations at reasonable times during business hours. All books and records required to be maintained for the Fund under the USA PATRIOT Act and the BSA shall be made available, for inspection and copying, to the U.S. Department of Treasury’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network and the Securities and Exchange Commission as may be requested pursuant to the USA PATRIOT Act and the BSA.

If Service Company is prevented from complying, either totally or in part, with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, by reason of fire, flood, storm, strike, lockout or other labor trouble, riot, war, rebellion, accidents, acts of God, equipment, utility or transmission failure or damage, and/or any other cause or casualty beyond the reasonable control of Service Company, whether similar to the foregoing matters or not, then, upon written notice to Fund, the requirements of this Agreement that are affected by such disability, to the extent so affected, shall be suspended during the period of such disability; provided, however, that Service Company shall make reasonable effort to remove such disability as soon as possible. During such period, Fund may seek alternate sources of service without liability hereunder; and Service Company will use all reasonable efforts to assist Fund to obtain alternate sources of service. Service Company shall have no liability to Fund for nonperformance because of the reasons set forth in this Section 8.G; but if a disability that, in Fund’s reasonable belief, materially affects Service Company's ability to perform its obligations under this Agreement continues for a period of 30 days, then Fund shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon 10 days written notice to Service Company.

Adjustment.

In case of any recapitalization, readjustment or other change in the structure of Fund requiring a change in the form of share certificates, Service Company will issue or register certificates in the new form in exchange for, or in transfer of, the outstanding certificates in the old form, upon receiving the following:

Written instructions from an officer of Fund.

Certified copy of any amendment to the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust or other document effecting the change.

Certified copy of any order or consent of each governmental or regulatory authority required by law for the issuance of the shares in the new form,

and an opinion of counsel that no order or consent of any other government or regulatory authority is required.

Specimens of the new certificates in the form approved by the Board of Fund, with a certificate of the Secretary of Fund as to such approval.

Opinion of counsel for Fund:

(1)

With respect to the status of the shares of Fund in the new form under the Securities Act of 1933, and any other applicable federal or state laws.

(2)

To the effect that the issued shares in the new form are, and all unissued shares will be when issued, validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

10.

Share Certificates.

Fund will furnish Service Company with a sufficient supply of blank share certificates and from time to time will renew such supply upon the request of Service Company. Such certificates will be signed manually or by facsimile signatures of the officers of Fund authorized by law and Fund’s Bylaws to sign share certificates and, if required, will bear the trust seal or facsimile thereof.

11.

Death, Resignation or Removal of Signing Officer.

Fund will file promptly with Service Company written notice of any change in the officers authorized to sign share certificates, written instructions or requests, together with two signature cards bearing the specimen signature of each newly authorized officer, all as certified by an appropriate officer of Fund. In case any officer of Fund who will have signed manually or whose facsimile signature will have been affixed to blank share certificates will die, resign, or be removed prior to the issuance of such certificates, Service Company may issue or register such share certificates as the share certificates of Fund notwithstanding such death, resignation, or removal, until specifically directed to the contrary by Fund in writing. In the absence of such direction, Fund will file promptly with Service Company such approval, adoption, or ratification as may be required by law.

Fund will promptly file with Service Company copies of all material amendments to its Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and Bylaws and Registration Statement made after the date of this Agreement.

13.

Instructions, Opinion of Counsel and Signatures.

At any time Service Company may apply to any officer of Fund for instructions, and may consult with legal counsel for Fund at the expense of Fund, or with its own legal counsel at its own expense, with respect to any matter arising in connection with the agency; and it will not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in reliance upon such instructions or upon the opinion of such counsel. Service Company is authorized to act on the orders, directions or instructions of such persons as the Board of Fund shall from time to time designate by resolution. Service Company will be protected in acting upon any paper or document, including any orders, directions or instructions, reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper person or persons; and Service Company will not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any person so authorized by Fund until receipt of written notice thereof from Fund. Service Company will also be protected in recognizing share certificates that it reasonably believes to bear the proper manual or facsimile signatures of the officers of Fund, and the proper countersignature of any former Transfer Agent or Registrar, or of a Co-Transfer Agent or Co-Registrar.

14.

Papers Subject to Approval of Counsel.

The acceptance by Service Company of its appointment as Transfer Agent and Dividend Disbursing Agent, and all documents filed in connection with such appointment and thereafter in connection with the agencies, will be subject to the approval of legal counsel for Service Company, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld.

15.

Certification of Documents.

The required copy of the Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust of Fund and copies of all amendments thereto will be certified by the appropriate official of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts; and if such Amended and Restated Declaration of Trust and amendments are required by law to be also filed with a county, city or other officer or official body, a certificate of such filing will appear on the certified copy submitted to Service Company. A copy of the order or consent of each governmental or regulatory authority required by law for the issuance of Fund shares will be certified by the Secretary or Clerk of such governmental or regulatory authority, under proper seal of such authority. The copy of the Bylaws and copies of all amendments thereto and copies of resolutions of the Board of Fund will be certified by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of Fund.

16.

Records.

Service Company will maintain customary records in connection with its agency, and particularly will maintain those records required to be maintained pursuant to sub-paragraph (2)(iv) of paragraph (b) of Rule 31a-1 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, if any. Service Company shall create and maintain true

and complete books and records as required for the Fund by the USA PATRIOT Act and the BSA.

17.

Disposition of Books, Records and Cancelled Certificates.

Service Company will send periodically to Fund, or to where designated by the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary of Fund, all books, documents, and all records no longer deemed needed for current purposes and share certificates which have been cancelled in transfer or in exchange, upon the understanding that such books, documents, records, and share certificates will not be destroyed by Fund without the consent of Service Company (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld), but will be safely stored for possible future reference. All books and records required to be maintained under the USA PATRIOT Act and the BSA shall be retained for the periods specified therein.

18.

Provisions Relating to Service Company as Transfer Agent.

Service Company will make original issues of share certificates upon written request of an officer of Fund and upon being furnished with a certified copy of a resolution of the Board of Fund authorizing such original issue, an opinion of counsel as outlined in Section 1.G or 9.E of this Agreement, the certificates required by Section 10 of this Agreement and any other documents required by Section 1 or 9 of this Agreement.

Before making any original issue of certificates, Fund will furnish Service Company with sufficient funds to pay any taxes required on the original issue of the shares. Fund will furnish Service Company such evidence as may be required by Service Company to show the actual value of the shares. If no taxes are payable, Service Company will upon request be furnished with an opinion of outside counsel to that effect.

Shares will be transferred and new certificates issued in transfer, or shares accepted for redemption and funds remitted therefor, upon surrender of the old certificates in form deemed by Service Company properly endorsed for transfer or redemption accompanied by such documents as Service Company may deem necessary to evidence the authority of the person making the transfer or redemption, and bearing satisfactory evidence of the payment of any applicable share transfer taxes. Service Company reserves the right to refuse to transfer or redeem shares until it is satisfied that the endorsement or signature on the certificate or any other document is valid and genuine, and for that purpose it may require a guarantee of signature by such persons as may from time to time be specified in the prospectus related to such shares or otherwise authorized by Fund. Service Company also 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 will incur no liability for the refusal in good faith to make transfers

or redemptions which, in its judgment, are improper, unauthorized or otherwise not rightful. Service Company may, in effecting transfers or redemptions, rely upon Simplification Acts or other statutes which protect it and Fund in not requiring complete fiduciary documentation.

When mail is used for delivery of share certificates, Service Company will forward share certificates in "nonnegotiable" form as provided by Fund by first class mail, all such mail deliveries to be covered while in transit to the addressee by insurance arranged for by Service Company.

Service Company will issue and mail subscription warrants and certificates provided by Fund and representing share dividends, exchanges or split-ups, or act as Conversion Agent upon receiving written instructions from any officer of Fund and such other documents as Service Company deems necessary.

Service Company will issue, transfer, and split-up certificates upon receiving written instructions from an officer of Fund and such other documents as Service Company may deem necessary.

Service Company may issue new certificates in place of certificates represented to have been lost, destroyed, stolen or otherwise wrongfully taken, upon receiving indemnity satisfactory to Service Company, and may issue new certificates in exchange for, and upon surrender of, mutilated certificates. Any such issuance shall be in accordance with the provisions of law governing such matter and any procedures adopted by the Board of Fund of which Service Company has notice.

Service Company will supply a shareholder’s list to Fund properly certified by an officer of Service Company for any shareholder meeting upon receiving a request from an officer of Fund. It will also supply lists at such other times as may be reasonably requested by an officer of Fund.

Upon receipt of written instructions of an officer of Fund, Service Company will address and mail notices to shareholders.

In case of any request or demand for the inspection of the share books of Fund or any other books of Fund in the possession of Service Company, including a request from FinCEN or the SEC under Paragraph F of Section 8 hereof, Service Company will endeavor to notify Fund and to secure instructions as to permitting or refusing such inspection. Service Company reserves the right, however, to exhibit the share books or other books to any person in case it is advised by its counsel that it may be held responsible for the failure to exhibit the share books or other books to such person.

19.

Provisions Relating to Dividend Disbursing Agency.

Service Company will, at the expense of Fund, provide a special form of check containing the imprint of any device or other matter desired by Fund. Said checks must, however, be of a form and size convenient for use by Service Company.

If Fund wants to include additional printed matter, financial statements, etc., with the dividend checks, the same will be furnished to Service Company within a reasonable time prior to the date of mailing of the dividend checks, at the expense of Fund.

If Fund wants its distributions mailed in any special form of envelopes, sufficient supply of the same will be furnished to Service Company but the size and form of said envelopes will be subject to the approval of Service Company. If stamped envelopes are used, they must be furnished by Fund; or, if postage stamps are to be affixed to the envelopes, the stamps or the cash necessary for such stamps must be furnished by Fund.

Service Company will maintain one or more deposit accounts as Agent for Fund, into which the funds for payment of dividends, distributions, redemptions or other disbursements provided for hereunder will be deposited, and against which checks will be drawn.

20.

Termination of Agreement.

This Agreement may be terminated without penalty by either party upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to the other party.

Fund, in addition to any other rights and remedies, shall have the right to terminate this Agreement forthwith upon the occurrence at any time of any of the following events:

(1)

Any interruption or cessation of operations by Service Company or its assigns which materially interferes with the business operation of Fund.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in

this Section 22.B, if an attempt is made pursuant to subpoena or other legal process to require Fund to disclose or produce any of the aforementioned manuals, systems or other technical information and data, Fund shall give Service Company prompt notice thereof prior to disclosure or production so that Service Company may, at its expense, resist such attempt.
