("BISYS"), a Delaware corporation having its principal place of business at 0000
Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000.
WHEREAS, the Trust desires that BISYS perform certain services for
those series of the Trust set forth in the Schedule A attached hereto, as such
Schedule may be amended from time to time (individually referred to herein as a
"Fund" and collectively as the "Funds"); and
WHEREAS, BISYS is willing to perform such services on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises and covenants
herein set forth, the parties agree as follows:
Section 1. SERVICES. BISYS shall perform for the Trust the transfer
agent services set forth in Schedule B hereto.
BISYS also agrees to perform for the Trust such special services
incidental to the performance of the services enumerated herein as agreed to by
the parties from time to time. BISYS shall perform such additional services as
are provided on an amendment to Schedule B hereof, in consideration of such fees
as the parties hereto may agree.
BISYS may, in its discretion, appoint in writing other parties
qualified to perform transfer agency services reasonably acceptable to the Trust
(individually, a "Subtransfer Agent") to carry out some or all of its
responsibilities under this Agreement with respect to a Fund; provided, however,
that the Sub-transfer Agent shall be the agent of BISYS and not the agent of the
Trust or such Fund, and that BISYS shall be fully responsible for the acts of
such Sub-transfer Agent and shall not be relieved of any of its responsibilities
hereunder by the appointment of such Sub-transfer Agent.
Section 2. FEES. The Trust shall pay BISYS for the services to be
provided by BISYS under this Agreement in accordance with, and in the manner set
forth in, Schedule C hereto. Fees for any additional services to be provided by
BISYS pursuant to an amendment to Schedule B hereto shall be subject to mutual
agreement at the time such amendment to Schedule C is proposed.
Section 3. REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES. In addition to paying BISYS the
fees described in Section 2 hereof, the Trust agrees to reimburse BISYS for
BISYS' out-of-pocket expenses in providing services hereunder, including without
limitation the following:

A. All freight and other delivery and bonding charges incurred by
BISYS in delivering materials to and from the Trust and in
delivering all materials to shareholders;

of the date first written above (the "Effective Date").
Section 5. TERM. This Agreement shall continue in effect, unless earlier
terminated by either party hereto as provided hereunder, until July 9, 1999.
Thereafter, this Agreement shall be renewed automatically for successive
one-year terms unless written notice not to renew is given by the non-renewing
party to the other party at least 60 days prior to the expiration of the
then-current term; provided, however, that after such termination, for so long
as BISYS, with the written consent of the Trust, in fact continues to perform
any one or more of the services contemplated by this Agreement or any Schedule

limitation the provisions dealing with indemnification, shall continue in full
force and effect. Compensation due BISYS and unpaid by the Trust upon such
termination shall be immediately due and payable upon and notwithstanding such

all of BISYS' reasonable cash disbursements for services in connection with
BISYS' activities in effecting such termination, including without limitation,
the delivery to the Trust and/or its distributor or investment advisers and/or
other parties, of the Trust's property, records, instruments and documents, or
any copies thereof. To the extent that BISYS may retain in its possession copies
of any Trust documents or records subsequent to such termination which copies
had not been requested by or on behalf of the Trust in connection
- 2 -

with the termination process described above, BISYS, for a reasonable fee, will
provide the Trust with reasonable access to such copies. The performance of
BISYS under this Agreement shall be reviewed at least annually by the Trust's
Board of Trustees. Such review shall include the review of acts of negligence,
if any, by BISYS, and if such acts of negligence are determined to be material
by the Trustees, such acts shall be an event of "cause" as used below. Further,
this Agreement is terminable with respect to a particular Fund only upon mutual
agreement of the parties hereto; upon 180 days' written notice by the Trust
after the initial term hereof but only in connection with the reorganization of
the Funds into another registered management investment company; or for "cause"
(as defined below) by the party alleging "cause," on not less than 60 days'
notice by the Trust's Board of Trustees or by BISYS.
For purposes of this Agreement, "cause" shall mean (a) willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, acts of negligence by BISYS determined
by the Trustees to be material, or reckless disregard on the part of the party
to be terminated with respect to its obligations and duties set forth herein;
(b) a final, unappealable judicial, regulatory or administrative ruling or order
in which the party to be terminated has been found guilty of criminal or
unethical behavior in the conduct of its business; (c) financial difficulties on
the part of the party to be terminated which are evidenced by the authorization
or commencement of, or involvement by way of pleading, answer, consent, or
acquiescence in, a voluntary or involuntary case under Title 11 of the United
States Code, as from time to time is in effect, or any applicable law, other
than said Title 11, of any jurisdiction relating to the liquidation or
reorganization of debtors or to the modification or alteration of the rights of
creditors; or (d) any circumstance which substantially impairs the performance
of the obligations and duties as contemplated herein of the party to be
terminated.
Section 6. UNCONTROLLABLE EVENTS. BISYS assumes no responsibility
hereunder, and shall not be liable, for any damage, loss of data, delay or any
other loss whatsoever caused by events beyond its reasonable control.
Section 7. LEGAL ADVICE. BISYS shall notify the Trust at any time BISYS
believes that it is in need of the advice of counsel (other than counsel in the
regular employ of BISYS or any affiliated companies) with regard to BISYS'
responsibilities and duties pursuant to this Agreement; and after so notifying
the Trust, BISYS, at its discretion, shall be entitled to seek, receive and act
upon advice of legal counsel of its choosing, such advice to be at the expense
of the Trust or Funds unless relating to a matter involving BISYS' willful
misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard with respect to BISYS'
responsibilities and duties hereunder and BISYS shall in no event be liable to
the Trust
- 3 -

or any Fund or any shareholder or beneficial owner of the Trust for any action
reasonably taken pursuant to such advice.
Section 8. INSTRUCTIONS. Whenever BISYS is requested or authorized to
take action hereunder pursuant to instructions from a shareholder or a properly
authorized agent of a shareholder ("shareholder's agent"), concerning an account
in a Fund, BISYS shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, letter or other
instrument or communication, whether in writing, by electronic or telephone
transmission, believed by BISYS to be genuine and to have been properly made,
signed or authorized by an officer or other authorized agent of the Trust or by
the shareholder or shareholder's agent, as the case may be, and shall be
entitled to receive as conclusive proof of any fact or matter required to be
ascertained by it hereunder a certificate signed by an officer of the Trust or
any other person authorized by the Trust's Board of Trustees or by the
shareholder or shareholder's agent, as the case may be.
As to the services to be provided hereunder, BISYS may rely
conclusively upon the terms of the Prospectuses and Statements of Additional
Information of the Trust relating to the Funds to the extent that such services
are described therein unless BISYS receives written instructions to the contrary
in a timely manner from the Trust.
Section 9. STANDARD OF CARE; RELIANCE ON RECORDS AND INSTRUCTIONS;
INDEMNIFICATION. BISYS shall use its best efforts to ensure the accuracy of all
services performed under this Agreement, but shall not be liable to the Trust
for any action taken or omitted by BISYS in the absence of bad faith, willful
misfeasance, negligence or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and
duties. The Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless BISYS, its employees,
agents, directors, officers and nominees from and against any and all claims,
demands, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and
against any and all judgments, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges,
counsel fees and other expenses of every nature and character arising out of or
in any way relating to BISYS' actions taken or nonactions with respect to the
performance of services under this Agreement or based, if applicable, upon
reasonable reliance on information, records, instructions or requests given or
made to BISYS by the Trust, the investment adviser and on any records provided
by any fund accountant or custodian thereof; provided that this indemnification
shall not apply to actions or omissions of BISYS in cases of its own bad faith,
willful misfeasance, negligence or from reckless disregard by it of its
obligations and duties; and further provided that prior to confessing any claim
against it which may be the subject of this indemnification, BISYS shall give
the Trust written notice of and reasonable opportunity to defend against said
claim in its own name or in the name of BISYS.
