If a Fund reasonably concludes that a breach has occurred, Co-Transfer Agent shall take all necessary steps to determine the extent of the breach and shall cooperate fully and provide complete access to the Fund and its auditors in order for the Fund to expeditiously investigate the breach incident and Co-Transfer Agent shall implement any response program the Fund deems appropriate. Co-Transfer Agent shall use best efforts to work with the Fund to rectify any issues arising from the breach incident. Co-Transfer Agent agrees that a breach of this Article 16.3 would irreparably damage the Funds and accordingly agrees that the Funds are entitled, without bond or other security, to an injunction or injunctions to prevent or halt breaches of this Article 16.3.

Transfer Agent, the Co-Transfer Agent has not acted in accordance with the standard of care provided in Article 10 of this Agreement, or has not complied with the terms of Article 14 of this Agreement. In any such event, the non-performing party shall be excused from any further performance and observance of the obligations so affected only for as long as such circumstances prevail and such party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to recommence performance or observance as soon as practicable.

22.1 The captions of this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.

Article 23 Publicity

25.1 This Agreement, including Schedules and Exhibits hereto, constitutes the entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous proposals, agreements, contracts, representations, and understandings, whether written or oral, between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. No change, termination, modification, or waiver of any term or condition of the Agreement shall be valid unless in writing signed by the party affected. A party’s waiver of a breach of any term or condition in the Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or another term or condition.

25.2 The parties intend every provision of this Agreement to be severable. If a court of competent jurisdiction determines that any term or provision is illegal or invalid for any reason, the illegality or invalidity shall not affect the validity of the remainder of this Agreement. In such case, the parties shall in good faith modify or substitute such provision consistent with the original intent of the parties. Without limiting the generality of this paragraph, if a court determines that any remedy stated in this Agreement has failed of its essential purpose, then all other provisions of this Agreement, including the limitations on liability and exclusion of damages, shall remain fully effective.

Co-Transfer Agent may also ask (and may have already asked) for additional identifying information, and Co-Transfer Agent may take steps (and may have already taken steps) to verify the authenticity and accuracy of these data elements.

Co-Transfer Agent or its agent shall not be required to issue any Shares of a Fund where it has received a Written Instruction from the Fund or official notice from any appropriate authority that the sale of the Shares of the Fund has been suspended or discontinued. The existence of such Written Instructions or such official notice shall be conclusive evidence of the right of Co-Transfer Agent or its agent to rely on such Written Instructions or official notice.

(b) Returned Checks. In the event that any check or other order for the payment of money is returned unpaid for any reason, Co-Transfer Agent or its agent will:

(i) give prompt notice of such return to the relevant Fund or its designee; (ii) place a stop transfer order against all Shares issued as a result of such check or order; and (iii) take such actions as Co-Transfer Agent may from time to time deem appropriate.

Proper information to establish a Shareholder account; and

(c) Co-Transfer Agent or its agent reserves the right to refuse to transfer or repurchase Shares until it is satisfied that the endorsement on the instructions is valid and genuine. Co-Transfer Agent or its agent also reserves the right to refuse to transfer or repurchase Shares until it is satisfied that the requested transfer or repurchase is legally authorized, and it shall incur no liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make transfers or repurchases which Co-Transfer Agent or its agent, in its reasonable good judgment, deems improper or unauthorized, or until it is reasonably satisfied that there is no basis to any claims adverse to such transfer or repurchase.

(d) When Shares are redeemed, Co-Transfer Agent or its agent shall, upon receipt of the instructions and documents in proper form, deliver a redemption order via NSCC to the Transfer Agent or its designee a notification setting forth the number of Shares to be repurchased. Such repurchased shares shall be reflected on appropriate accounts maintained by Co-Transfer Agent or its agent reflecting outstanding Shares of each Fund and Shares attributed to individual accounts.

Such payment will be made in cash or additional Shares, at the election of each Shareholder, in accordance with the Portfolio’s Prospectus.

(b) On payment date of dividend and other distributions specified in such resolution of the Board of Directors, the Co-Transfer agent will receive payment for the fund shares held in their omnibus account with the Transfer Agent. Such payment will be made via normal NSCC procedures for dividend payments. Co-Transfer Agent will then be responsible for paying shareholders of record on Co-Transfer Agent’s books.

(c) If Co-Transfer Agent or its agent does not receive sufficient cash from the Transfer Agent to make total dividend and/or distribution payments to all Shareholders of the Fund as of the record date, Co-Transfer Agent or its agent will, upon notifying the Fund, withhold payment to all Shareholders of record as of the record date until sufficient cash is provided to Co-Transfer Agent or its agent. It is the Co-Transfer Agent’s responsibility to maintain timely position reconciliation with the Transfer Agent’s omnibus account position held for the Co-Transfer Agent.

9. Anti-Money Laundering/OFAC/FINCEN/Customer Identification Procedures.

(a) In connection with the enactment of the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 and the regulations promulgated thereunder (collectively, the “USA PATRIOT Act”), the Fund has developed and implemented a written anti-money laundering program (the “AML Program”), which is designed to satisfy the requirements of the USA PATRIOT Act. Under the USA PATRIOT Act, a mutual fund can elect to delegate certain duties with respect to the implementation and operation of its AML Program to a service provider, including its Co-Transfer Agent. Each Fund is desirous of having the Co-Transfer Agent perform certain delegated duties pursuant to the AML Program and the Co-Transfer Agent desires to accept such delegation. Co-Transfer Agent shall comply with mutually agreed upon procedures to: implement the Fund’s AML Program and Customer Identification Program (“CIP”), including cash and cash equivalent procedures; check account names

and addresses against the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) list of Specially Designated Nationals and Blocked Persons (the “SDN list”) and list of embargoed countries; respond to requests for information from the Treasury Department’s Financial Crimes Enforcement Network (“FinCEN”) pursuant to Section 314(a) of the USA PATRIOT Act submitted to Co-Transfer Agent by the Fund; file Suspicious Activity Reports (“SARs”) in connection with the services provided under this Section 9, as necessary, on behalf of the Fund; and perform such other anti-money laundering functions as agent of the Fund, as provided in this Section 9.

(b) Co-Transfer Agent shall perform the following key functions:

(1) Comparing Co-Transfer Agent’s database of Fund records against OFAC’s SDN list and list of embargoed countries; new accounts and account changes shall be scanned daily against such lists and the entire accounts database shall be scanned when the OFAC lists are updated or the Fund submits a FinCEN 314(a) request to the Co-Transfer Agent.

(2) Verifying customer identification based on particular identifying data elements pursuant to regulations issued under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act.

(3) Complying with restrictions on payment methods accepted for purchase of Fund shares (no cash or cash equivalents, third-party check restrictions, etc.).

(4) Review account opening documentation and review payments for various “red flags” that are indicators of fraudulent activity.

(5) Training all relevant Co-Transfer Agent employees in a manner consistent with Section 352 of the USA PATRIOT Act.

(6) To help the Fund comply with its requirements to establish and implement a due diligence program for “foreign financial institution” accounts (pursuant to regulations issued under Section 312 of the USA PATRIOT Act), PNC will do the following:

(i) Implement and operate a due diligence program that includes appropriate, specific, risk-based policies, procedures and controls that are reasonably designed to enable the Fund to detect and report, on an ongoing basis, any known or suspected money laundering activity conducted through or involving any correspondent account established, maintained, administered or managed by the Fund for a “foreign financial institution” (as defined in 31 CFR 103.175(h))(“Foreign Financial Institution”);

(ii) Conduct due diligence to identify and detect any Foreign Financial Institution correspondent accounts in connection with new accounts and

account maintenance; provided that for direct to Fund check and application accounts, Co-Transfer Agent shall have adequate measures in place reasonably designed to ensure that Co-Transfer Agent will (a) seek to identify foreign persons or entities in the account opening process with the goal to NOT establish new correspondent accounts for foreign financial institutions in the Fund without the written approval of the Fund’s AML Officer, and (b) notify the Fund’s AML Officer if any such account has been opened for a foreign financial institution and shall obtain further instruction from the Fund’s AML Officer as to such accounts.

(iii) Assess the money laundering risk presented by each such Foreign Financial Institution correspondent account, based on a consideration of the appropriate relevant factors (as generally outlined in 31 CFR 103.176), and assign a risk category to each such Foreign Financial Institution account;

(iv) Apply risk-based procedures and controls to each such Foreign Financial Institution correspondent account reasonably designed to detect and report known or suspected money laundering activity, including a periodic review of the Foreign Financial Institution account activity sufficient to determine consistency with information obtained about the type, purpose and anticipated activity of such account;

(v) Include procedures to be followed in circumstances in which the appropriate due diligence cannot be performed with respect to a Foreign Financial Institution correspondent account;

(vi) Adopt and operate enhanced due diligence policies, where necessary, as required by future regulations affecting Foreign Financial Institution correspondent accounts;

(vii) Record due diligence program and maintain due diligence records relating to Foreign Financial Institution correspondent accounts; and

(viii) Report to the Fund about measures taken under (i)-(vii) above;

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, and without expanding the scope of the express language in this subsection (6), PNC need not complete any due diligence beyond the requirements of the relevant Foreign Financial Institution correspondent account due diligence program regulations and PNC need not perform any task that need not be performed for the Fund to be in compliance with relevant Foreign Financial Institution correspondent account due diligence program regulations. This amendment specifically excludes private bank account provisions of Section 312 of the USA PATRIOT Act.

(d) Limitation on Delegation. Each Fund acknowledges and agrees that in accepting the delegation hereunder, the Co-Transfer Agent is agreeing to perform only those duties that have been expressly delegated under this Section 10 (the “Delegated Duties”), as may be amended from time to time, and is not undertaking and shall not be responsible for any other aspect of the AML Program or for the overall compliance by the Fund with the USA PATRIOT Act or for any other matters that have not been delegated hereunder. Additionally, the parties acknowledge and agree that the Co-Transfer Agent shall only be responsible for performing the Delegated Duties with respect to the ownership of, and transactions in, shares in the Fund for which the Co-Transfer Agent maintains the applicable shareholder information. In connection with the prior sentence, each Fund acknowledges that there are certain types of accounts, “broker controlled” accounts such as NSCC Network Level 3 accounts or Citigroup Global Markets, Inc./”Dealer 6700” accounts, whereby the Co-Transfer Agent receives shareholder and transactional information through industry mandated or customized transmissions that preclude the Co-Transfer Agent from providing these services. Each Fund acknowledges that these services will be performed by the broker/dealer initiating the establishment/maintenance of “broker controlled” accounts and the submissions of transactions in “broker controlled” accounts.

(e) Consent to Examination. In connection with the performance by the Co-Transfer Agent of the Delegated Duties, the Co-Transfer Agent understands and acknowledges that the Fund remains responsible for assuring compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act and that the records the Co-Transfer Agent maintains for the Fund relating to the AML Program service may be subject, from time to time, to examination and/or inspection by federal regulators in order that the regulators may evaluate such compliance. The Co-Transfer Agent hereby consents to such examination and/or inspection and agrees to cooperate with such federal examiners in connection with their review. For purposes of such examination and/or inspection, the Co-Transfer Agent will use its best efforts to make available, during normal business hours and on reasonable notice, requested records and information for review by such examiners.

(f) Miscellaneous Delegated Duties

(1) Consistent with the services provided by the Co-Transfer Agent and with respect to the ownership of shares in a Fund for which the Co-Transfer Agent maintains the applicable shareholder information, the Co-Transfer Agent shall:

Consistent with the services provided by the Co-Transfer Agent and with respect to the ownership of shares in a Fund for which the Co-Transfer Agent maintains the applicable shareholder information, the parties agree to the following:

(1) Form 8300 Services. The Fund acknowledges that it does not accept cash for any transaction. However, the Fund hereby engages PNC as its agent to prepare and file on behalf of the Fund Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”)/FinCEN Form 8300 (Report of Cash Payments Over $10,000 Received in a Trade or Business) filings and prepare required notices, should such filings become necessary. Co-Transfer Agent will use reasonable efforts to monitor and track cash, currency and cash equivalents (as defined by the applicable regulations)

Co-Transfer Agent’s comparison will be limited to current accounts, accounts maintained by a named customer during the preceding 12 months, and transactions conducted by or on behalf of or with a named customer during the preceding six months. Information relating to potential matches resulting from these comparisons, after review by Co-Transfer Agent for quality assurance purposes (“Comparison Results”), will be made available to the Fund in a timely manner. The Fund will retain responsibility for filing reports with FinCEN that may be appropriate based on the Comparison Results. In addition, (i) a potential match involving a tax identification number will be forwarded by Co-Transfer Agent to Co-Transfer Agent’s SAR Filing Service for analysis in conjunction with other relevant activity contained in records for the particular relevant account, and (ii) if, after such analysis, the Fund’s AML Officer and Co-Transfer Agent jointly determine that the potential match could constitute a “suspicious activity”, as that term is used for purposes of the USA Patriot Act, then Co-Transfer Agent’s SAR Filing Service will prepare and file a SAR. “314(a) Procedures” means the procedures adopted from time to time by PNC governing the delivery and processing of Information Requests transmitted by PNC’s clients to PNC, including without limitation requirements governing the timeliness, content, completeness, format and mode of transmissions to PNC. In accordance with applicable law, Co-Transfer Agent shall not disclose to any other person, other than FinCEN or the federal law enforcement agency on whose behalf FinCEN has requested or obtained information, the fact that FinCEN has requested or obtained information pursuant to an Information Request, except to the extent necessary to comply with such Information Request. Co-Transfer Agent agrees to comply with procedures mutually agreed upon by the parties and in compliance with applicable law to protect the security and confidentiality of such requests for information from FinCEN.

The Fund shall have the sole and exclusive obligation to furnish the information, documentation or other material requested by the Legal Process but Co-Transfer Agent will assist the Fund in complying with the Legal Process after reviewing appropriate customer account activity. In addition, if Co-Transfer Agent, after a review of the Legal Process based on preliminary criteria, determines an investigation of potential suspicious activity is warranted, (i) Co-Transfer Agent will forward the Legal Process to Co-Transfer Agent’s SAR Filing Service for analysis in conjunction with other activity contained in records for the particular relevant account, and (ii) if, after such analysis, the Fund’s AML Officer and Co-Transfer Agent jointly determine that the potential match could constitute a “suspicious activity”, Co-Transfer Agent’s SAR Filing Service will prepare and file a SAR on behalf of the Fund.

(4) SAR AML Services. The Fund hereby engages Co-Transfer Agent as its agent to make the determinations of and to prepare and file SARs on behalf of the Fund as described in this subsection (4). PNC will use reasonable efforts to (i) determine in coordination with the Fund’s AML Officer when a SAR should be filed as required by regulations applicable to the Fund, the Fund’s AML Program, and Co-Transfer Agent’s delegated AML services (ii) prepare and file the SAR as agent for the Fund and, maintain documents supporting the SAR, (iii) if appropriate under regulatory guidance and procedures file a Joint SAR as agent for the Fund and other applicable designated financial institutions, and (iv) provide the Fund with a copy of the SAR within a reasonable time after filing.

(ii) Unless prohibited by applicable law, each party will use reasonable efforts to consult with the other party’s authorized personnel prior to contacting law enforcement authorities or filing a SAR. Notwithstanding the

(iii) In addition to any confidentiality obligations set forth in the Agreement, each party understands and acknowledges the extreme confidential nature of underlying information concerning SAR filings (“SAR Confidential Information”).

15. Certain Retirement Plans.

(a) Background. PFPC Trust served as custodian under the Transfer Agency and Services Agreement, dated as of January 1, 2006, between the Funds and PNC (“TA Agreement”) for certain employer sponsored defined contribution retirement plan accounts which hold shares of one or more of the following Portfolios of the Xxxx Xxxxx Partner (“LMP”) Funds: LMP Core Plus Bond Fund – Class A, LMP Investors Value Fund – Class I, the Capital Fund – Class I and the Barret Opportunity Fund (the “Retirement Plan Portfolios”). In connection with the termination of the TA Agreement and the conversion to the successor transfer agent, the successor transfer agent advised the Funds that it is unwilling to serve as custodian for these employer sponsored retirement

plan accounts (the “Defined Contribution Accounts”). PFPC Trust resigned as custodian and the Funds contacted owners of the Defined Contribution Accounts to seek their termination through distribution or rollover to an XXX or transfer to another retirement plan provider but were unable to effect the termination of all Defined Contribution Accounts by the termination date of the TA Agreement.

(b) The Funds agree to continue in good faith to exert its best efforts to contract owners of the Defined Contribution Accounts in cooperation with PFPC Trust to seek a termination of the Defined Contribution Accounts. PFPC Trust agrees to continue providing the retirement plan services set forth at Section 12(a) of this Schedule B to the Defined Contribution Accounts. The Funds agree to pay PNC the relevant fees set forth in Schedule C for such services.

(c) The Funds direct PFPC Trust as follows with respect to the Defined Contribution Accounts and their investments in the Retirement Plan Portfolios:

(i)

LMP Core Plus Bond Fund – Class A should be given exchange privileges with other class A Portfolios;

(ii)

LMP Investors Value Fund – Class I and the Capital Fund – Class I – in the absence of other class I Portfolios, should not be given exchange privileges with any other Portfolios;

(iii)

Barret Opportunity Fund, Inc, which had no exchange privileges under the TA Agreement, should remain the same.

(d) In addition, the Funds direct PFPC Trust to accept no additional contributions to the Defined Contribution Accounts and no additional purchases of shares of the Retirement Plan Portfolios or any other Portfolio, except with respect to the reinvestment of dividends and capital gain distributions into the same Retirement Plan Portfolio. PNC agrees to terminate the Retirement Plan Portfolios from the transfer agent processing system used to perform this Agreement upon the termination of all Defined Contribution Accounts.

(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in connection with the services provided by PFPC Trust under this Section 15 of Schedule B, PFPC Trust is an intended third-party beneficiary of the Funds’ indemnification obligations hereunder. In addition, the Funds agree to reimburse PFPC Trust for up to $10,000 in out-of-pocket legal expenses incurred in connection with the circumstances described in the first paragraph and the services performed pursuant to this Section 15.
