Custodian Agreement

This Agreement is made as of January 28, 1998 by and between each entity set forth on Appendix A hereto (as such Appendix A may be amended from time to time) which executes a copy of this Agreement (each referred to herein as the "Fund"), and State Street Bank and Trust Company, a Massachusetts trust company with its principal place of business at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxxx 00000 (the "Custodian").

Witnesseth:

Whereas, each Fund desires to retain the Custodian to act as custodian of certain of the assets of the Fund, and the Custodian is willing to provide such services to each Fund, upon the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and

Whereas, except as otherwise set forth herein, this Agreement is intended to supersede that certain custodian contract among the parties hereto dated September 28, 1987, as amended; and

Whereas, the Funds have retained Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. to act as the Funds` custodian with respect to the assets of each such Fund to be held outside of the United States of America (except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement) pursuant to a written custodian agreement (the "Foreign Custodian Agreement"),

Now, Therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements hereinafter contained, each of the parties hereto agrees as follows:

Section 1. Employment of Custodian and Property to be Held by It.

Each Fund hereby employs the Custodian as the custodian of certain of its assets, including those securities it desires to be held within the United States of America ("domestic securities") and those securities it desires to be held outside the United States of America (the "United States") which are (i) not held on the Funds` behalf by Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. pursuant to the Foreign Custodian Agreement and (ii) described with greater particularity in Section 3 hereof (such securities shall be referred to herein as "foreign securities"). Each Fund agrees to deliver to the Custodian all domestic securities, foreign securities and cash owned by it from time to time, and all payments of income, payments of principal or capital distributions received by it with respect to

securities held by it hereunder, and the cash consideration received by it for such new or treasury shares of capital stock of each Fund as may be issued or sold from time to time ("Shares"). The Custodian shall not be responsible for any property of any Fund held or received by such Fund (i) not delivered to the Custodian, or (ii) held in the custody of Chase Manhattan Bank N.A.

The Custodian is authorized to employ one or more sub-custodians located within the United States, provided that the Custodian shall have obtained the written acknowledgment of the Fund with respect to such employment. The Custodian is authorized to employ sub-custodians located outside the United States as noted on Schedule A attached hereto (as such Schedule A may be amended from time to time). The Custodian shall have no more or less responsibility or liability to any Fund on account of any actions or omissions of any sub-custodian so employed than any such sub-custodian has to the Custodian and shall not release any sub-custodian from any responsibility or liability unless so agreed in writing by the Custodian and the applicable Fund. With the exception of State Street Bank and Trust Company (London branch), the Custodian shall not be liable for losses arising from the bankruptcy, insolvency or receivership of any sub-custodian located outside the United States.

Each agreement pursuant to which the Custodian employs as a Foreign Sub-Custodian shall, to the extent possible, require the Foreign Sub-Custodian to exercise reasonable care in the performance of its duties and, to the extent possible, to indemnify, and hold harmless, the Custodian from and against any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim arising out of or in connection with the Foreign Sub-Custodian`s performance of such obligations. At the Fund`s election, the Funds shall be entitled to be subrogated to the rights of the Custodian with respect to any claims against a Foreign Sub-Custodian as a consequence of any such loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim if and to the extent that the Funds have not been made whole for any such loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim.

Section 3.11 Tax Law. The Custodian shall have no responsibility or liability for any obligations now or hereafter imposed on the Fund or the Custodian as custodian of the Funds by

the tax law of the United States or of any state or political subdivision thereof. It shall be the responsibility of the Fund to notify the Custodian of the obligations imposed on the Fund or the Custodian as custodian of the Funds by the tax law of countries set forth on Schedule A hereto, including responsibility for withholding and other taxes, assessments or other governmental charges, certifications and governmental reporting. The sole responsibility of the Custodian with regard to such tax law shall be to use reasonable efforts to assist the Fund with respect to any claim for exemption or refund under the tax law of countries for which the Fund has provided such information.

Section 4. Payments for Repurchases or Redemptions and Sales of Shares.

From such funds as may be available for the purpose, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of instructions from the Transfer Agent, make funds available for payment to holders of Shares which have delivered to the Transfer Agent a request for redemption or repurchase of their Shares. In connection with the redemption or repurchase of Shares, the Custodian is authorized upon receipt of, and in accordance with, instructions from the Transfer Agent to wire funds to or through a commercial bank designated by the redeeming shareholders. In connection with the redemption or repurchase of Shares, the Custodian shall honor checks drawn on the Custodian by a holder of Shares, which checks have been furnished by the Fund to the holder of Shares, when presented to the Custodian in accordance with such written procedures and controls as may be mutually agreed upon from time to time between the Fund and the Custodian.

The Custodian shall receive from the distributor for the Shares or from the Transfer Agent and deposit to the account of the Fund such payments as are received by the distributor or the Transfer Agent, as the case may be, for Shares issued or sold from time to time. The Custodian will notify the Fund and the Transfer Agent of any payments for Shares received by it from time to time.

Section 5. Duties of Custodian with Respect to the Books of Account and Calculation of Net Asset Value and Net Income.

The Custodian shall cooperate with and supply necessary information to the entity or entities appointed by the Board to keep the books of account of the Fund and/or compute the net asset value per Share of the outstanding Shares or, if directed in writing

to do so by the Fund, shall itself keep such books of account and/or compute such net asset value per Share. If so directed, the Custodian shall also (i) calculate daily the net income of the Fund as described in the Prospectus and shall advise the Fund and the Transfer Agent daily of the total amounts of such net income, and/or (ii) advise the Transfer Agent periodically of the division of such net income among its various components. The calculations of the net asset value per share and the daily income of the Fund shall be made at the time or times described from time to time in the Prospectus.

Section 6. Proper Instructions.

"Proper Instructions," as such term is used throughout this Agreement, means either (i) a writing, including a facsimile transmission, signed by one or more persons as set forth on, and in accordance with, an "Authorized Persons List," as such term is defined herein (each such instruction a "Written Proper Instruction"), (ii) a "Client Originated Electronic Financial Instruction," as such term is defined in the Data Access Services Addendum hereto, given in accordance with the terms of such Addendum, or (iii) instructions received by the Custodian from a third party in accordance with any three-party agreement which requires a segregated asset account in accordance with Section 2.11.

Each Written Proper Instruction shall set forth a brief description of the type of transaction involved (choosing from among the types of transactions set forth on the Authorized Persons List), including a specific statement of the purpose for which such action is requested, and any modification to a Written Proper Instruction must itself be a Written Proper Instruction and subject to all the provisions herein relating to Written Proper Instructions. The Fund will provide the Custodian with an "Authorized Persons List," which list shall set forth (a) the names of the individuals (each an "Authorized Person") who are authorized by the Board to give Written Proper Instructions with respect to the transactions described therein, and (b) the number of Authorized Persons whose signature or approval, as the case may be, is necessary for the Custodian to be able to act in accordance with such Written Proper Instructions with respect to a particular type of transaction. The Custodian may accept oral instructions or instructions delivered via electronic mail as Proper Instructions if the Custodian reasonably believes such instructions to have been given by an Authorized Person or Persons (as appropriate to the type of transaction); provided, however, that in no event will instructions delivered orally or via electronic mail be considered Proper

Instructions with respect to transactions involving the movement of cash, securities or other assets of a Fund. The Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon instructions given in accordance with an Authorized Persons List until it actually receives written notice from the Board of the applicable Fund to the contrary.

Section 7. Evidence of Authority.

Subject to Section 9 hereof, the Custodian shall be protected in acting upon any instructions, notice, request, consent, certificate or other instrument or paper reasonably and in good faith believed by it to be genuine and to have been properly executed by or on behalf of the Fund. The Custodian may receive and accept a copy of a vote of the Board, certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the applicable Fund, as conclusive evidence (a) of the authority of any person to act in accordance with such vote or (b) of any determination or of any action by the Board described in such vote, and such vote may be considered as in full force and effect until receipt by the Custodian of written notice to the contrary.

Section 8. Actions Permitted without Express Authority.

The Custodian may in its discretion and without express authority from the Fund:

1) make payments to itself or others for minor expenses of handling investments or other similar items relating to its duties under this Agreement, provided that all such payments shall be accounted for to the Fund;

2) surrender investments in temporary form for investments in definitive form;

3) endorse for collection, in the name of the Fund, checks, drafts and other negotiable instruments; and

4) in general, attend to all non-discretionary details in connection with the sale, exchange, substitution, purchase, transfer and other dealings with the investments and property of the Fund except as otherwise directed by the Board.

Section 9. Responsibility of Custodian.

The Custodian shall not be responsible for the title, validity or genuineness of any property or evidence of title thereto received by it or delivered by it pursuant to this Agreement and shall be held harmless in acting upon any notice, request, consent, certificate or other instrument reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to be signed by the proper party or parties, including any futures commission merchant acting pursuant to the terms of a three-party futures or options agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Custodian shall be held to the exercise of reasonable care in carrying out the provisions of this Agreement, and it shall be kept indemnified by and shall be without liability to the Fund for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith without negligence. In order for the indemnification provision contained in this Section to apply, it is understood that if in any case the Fund may be asked by the Custodian to indemnify or hold the Custodian harmless, the Fund shall be fully and promptly advised of all pertinent facts concerning the situation in question, and it is further understood that the Custodian will use reasonable care to identify, and notify the Fund promptly concerning, any situation which presents or appears likely to present the probability of such a claim for indemnification. The Fund shall have the option to defend the Custodian against any claim which may be the subject of a claim for indemnification hereunder, and in the event that the Fund so elects, it will notify the Custodian thereof and, thereupon, (i) the Fund shall take over complete defense of the claim and (ii) the Custodian shall initiate no further legal or other expenses with respect to such claim. The Custodian shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise with respect to any claim for which it will seek indemnity from the Fund except with the Fund's prior written consent. Nothing herein shall be construed to limit any right or cause of action on the part of the Custodian under this Agreement which is independent of any right or cause of action on the part of the Fund. The Custodian shall be entitled to rely on and may act upon advice of counsel (who may be counsel for the Fund or other such counsel as agreed to by the parties) on all matters, and shall be without liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted pursuant to such advice. The Custodian shall be entitled to rely upon, and shall have no duty of inquiry with respect to, the accuracy of any representation or warranty given to it by the Fund or any duly-authorized employee or agent thereof, and shall be without liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted by it in reliance thereon. Regardless of whether assets held pursuant to this Agreement are maintained in the custody of a foreign banking institution, a foreign securities depository, or a branch or affiliate of a U.S. bank, the Custodian shall not be liable for any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability

or claim resulting from, or caused by, the direction of or authorization by the Fund to maintain custody of any securities or cash or other property of the Fund in a foreign country including, but not limited to, losses resulting from the nationalization or expropriation of assets, the imposition of currency controls or restrictions, acts of war or terrorism or civil unrest, riots, revolutions, work stoppages, natural disasters or other similar events or acts.

Except as may arise from the Custodian`s own negligence or willful misconduct or the negligence or willful misconduct of a sub-custodian or agent, the Custodian shall be without liability to the Fund for any loss, liability, claim or expense resulting from or caused by: (i) events or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Custodian or any sub-custodian or Securities System or any agent or nominee of any of the foregoing, including, without limitation, the interruption, suspension or restriction of trading on or the closure of any securities market, power or other mechanical or technological failures or interruptions, computer viruses or communications disruptions; (ii) errors by the Fund or its duly-appointed investment advisor in their instructions to the Custodian provided such instructions have been given in accordance with this Agreement; (iii) the insolvency of or acts or omissions by a Securities System; (iv) any delay or failure of any broker, agent or intermediary, central bank or other commercially prevalent payment or clearing system to deliver to the Custodian`s sub-custodian or agent securities purchased or in the remittance or payment made in connection with securities sold; (v) any delay or failure of any company, corporation or other body in charge of registering or transferring securities in the name of the Custodian, the Fund, the Custodian`s sub-custodians, nominees or agents, or any consequential losses arising out of such delay or failure to transfer such securities, including non-receipt of bonus, dividends and rights and other accretions or benefits; (vi) delays or inability to perform its duties due to any disorder in market infrastructure with respect to any particular security or Securities System; and (vii) changes to any provision of any present or future law or regulation or order of the United States, or any state thereof, or of any other country or political subdivision thereof, or any order of any court of competent jurisdiction.

The Custodian shall be liable for the acts or omissions of a foreign banking institution acting as a sub-custodian hereunder to the same extent as set forth with respect to sub-custodians generally in this Agreement.

If the Fund requires the Custodian to take any action with respect to investments, which action involves the payment of money or which action may, in the reasonable opinion of the Custodian, result in the Custodian or its nominee assigned to the Fund being liable for the payment of money or incurring liability of some other form, the Fund, as a prerequisite to requiring the Custodian to take such action, shall provide indemnity to the Custodian in an amount and form satisfactory to it.

If the Custodian, or any of its affiliates, subsidiaries or agents, advances cash or investments to the Fund for any purpose (including but not limited to securities settlements, foreign exchange contracts and assumed settlement), or in the event that the Custodian or its nominee shall incur or be assessed any taxes, charges, expenses, assessments, claims or liabilities in connection with the performance of this Agreement, except such as may arise from its or its nominee`s own negligent action, negligent failure to act or willful misconduct, any property at any time held for the account of the Fund shall be security therefor, and should the Fund fail to repay the Custodian promptly the Custodian shall be entitled to utilize available cash and to dispose of the Fund assets to the extent necessary to obtain reimbursement, provided that the Custodian gives the Fund reasonable notice to repay such cash or securities advanced, and provided further that such notice requirement shall not preclude the Custodian`s right to assert and execute on such lien.

Except as may arise from the Custodian`s own negligence or willful misconduct, or the negligence or willful misconduct of a subcustodian or agent appointed by the Custodian, the Fund agrees to indemnify and hold the Custodian harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, charges, reasonable counsel fees, payments and liabilities which may be asserted against the Custodian (i) acting in accordance with any Proper Instruction, or (ii) for any acts or omissions of Chase Manhattan Bank N.A.

Notwithstanding any provision herein to the contrary, to the extent the Custodian is found to be liable hereunder for any loss, liability, claim, expense or damage, the Custodian shall be liable only for such loss, liability, claim, expense or damage which was reasonably foreseeable.

Section 10. Effective Period, Termination and Amendment.

This Agreement shall become effective as of the date of its execution, shall continue in full force and effect until terminated as hereinafter provided, may be amended at any time by mutual agreement of the parties hereto, and may be terminated by either party by an instrument in writing delivered or mailed, postage prepaid to the other party, such termination to take effect not sooner than thirty (30) days after the date of such delivery or mailing in the case of a termination by the Fund, and not sooner than one hundred eighty (180) days after the date of such delivery or mailing in the case of termination by the Custodian; provided, however that the Custodian shall not act under Section 2.9 hereof in the absence of receipt of an initial certificate of a Fund`s secretary, or an assistant secretary thereof, that the Board has approved the initial use of a particular U.S. Securities System, as required by the 1940 Act or any applicable Rule thereunder, and that the Custodian shall not act under Section 2.10 hereof in the absence of receipt of an initial certificate of a Fund`s secretary, or an assistant secretary thereof, that the Board has approved the initial use of the Direct Paper System; provided further, however, that the Fund shall not amend or terminate this Agreement in contravention of any applicable federal or state regulations, or any provision of the Fund`s articles of incorporation, agreement of trust, by-laws and/or registration statement (as applicable, the "Governing Documents"); and further provided that the Fund may at any time by action of its Board (i) substitute another bank or trust company for the Custodian by giving notice as described above to the Custodian, or (ii) immediately terminate this Agreement in the event of the appointment of a conservator or receiver for the Custodian by the United States Comptroller of the Currency or upon the happening of a like event at the direction of an appropriate regulatory agency or court of competent jurisdiction.

Upon termination of the Agreement, the Fund shall pay to the Custodian such compensation as may be due as of the date of such termination and shall likewise reimburse the Custodian for its reasonable costs, expenses and disbursements, provided that the Custodian shall not incur any costs, expenses or disbursements specifically in connection with such termination unless it has received prior approval from the Fund, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

Section 11. Successor Custodian.

If a successor custodian shall be appointed by the Board, the Custodian shall, upon termination, deliver to such successor custodian at the offices of the Custodian, duly endorsed and in the form for transfer, all investments and other properties then held by it hereunder, and shall transfer to an account of the successor custodian all of the Fund`s investments held in a Securities System. If no such successor custodian shall be appointed, the Custodian shall, in like manner, upon receipt of a copy of a vote of the Board, certified by the secretary or an assistant secretary of the applicable Fund, deliver at the offices of the Custodian and transfer such investments, funds and other properties in accordance with such vote. In the event that no written order designating a successor custodian or certified copy of a vote of the Board shall have been delivered to the Custodian on or before the date when such termination shall become effective, then the Custodian shall have the right to deliver to a bank or trust company, which is a "bank" as defined in the 1940 Act, doing business in Boston, Massachusetts, or New York, New York, of its own selection and having an aggregate capital, surplus, and undivided profits, as shown by its last published report, of not less than $100,000,000, all property held by the Custodian under this Agreement and to transfer to an account of such successor custodian all of the Fund`s investments held in any Securities System; thereafter, such bank or trust company shall be the successor of the Custodian under this Agreement.

In the event that any property held pursuant to this Agreement remains in the possession of the Custodian after the date of termination hereof owing to failure of the Fund to procure the certified copy of the vote referred to or of the Board to appoint a successor custodian, the Custodian shall be entitled to fair compensation for its services during such period as the Custodian retains possession of such property, and the provisions of this Agreement relating to the duties and obligations of the Custodian shall remain in full force and effect.

All such records shall be the property of the Fund and shall at all times during the regular business hours of the Custodian be open for inspection by duly authorized officers, employees or agents of the Fund and employees and agents of the SEC.

The Custodian shall, upon request, furnish to the Fund a copy of each such bond and each amendment thereto.

Section 12.7 Confidentiality. The Custodian agrees to treat all records and other information relative to the Fund and its prior, present or future shareholders as confidential, and the Custodian, on behalf of itself and its employees, agrees to keep confidential all such information except, after prior notification to and approval in writing by the Fund, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not be withheld where the Custodian may be exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to comply when requested to divulge such information by duly constituted authorities, or when so requested by the Fund.

In the case of a series fund or trust, all references to the "Fund" are to the individual series or portfolio of such fund or trust, or to such fund or trust on behalf of the individual series or portfolio, as appropriate. Any reference in this Agreement to "the parties" shall mean the Custodian and such other individual Fund as to which the matter pertains. Each Fund hereby represents and warranties that (i) it has the requisite power and authority under applicable laws and its Governing Documents to enter into and perform this Agreement, (ii) all requisite proceedings have been taken to authorize it to enter into and perform this Agreement, and (iii) its entrance into this Agreement shall not cause a material breach or be in material conflict with any other agreement or obligation of the Fund or any law or regulation applicable to it.

With respect to any Fund which is a party to this Agreement and which is organized as a Massachusetts business trust, the term "Fund" means and refers to the trustees from time to time serving under the applicable trust agreement of such trust, as the same may be amended from time to time (the "Declaration of Trust"). It is expressly agreed that the obligations of any such Fund hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents or employees of the Fund personally, but bind only the trust property of the Fund as set forth in the applicable Declaration of Trust. In the case of each Fund which is a Massachusetts business trust (in each case, a "Trust"), the execution and delivery of this Agreement on behalf of the Trust has been authorized by the trustees, and signed by an authorized officer, of the Trust, in each case acting in such capacity and not individually, and neither such authorization by the trustees nor such execution and delivery by such officer shall be deemed to have been made by any of them

SEC Rule 14b-2 requires banks which hold securities for the account of customers to respond to requests by issuers of securities for the names, addresses and holdings of beneficial owners of securities of that issuer held by the bank unless the beneficial owner has expressly objected to disclosure of this information. In order to comply with the rule, the Custodian needs the Fund to indicate whether it authorizes the Custodian to provide the Fund`s name, address, and share position to requesting companies whose securities the Fund owns. If the Fund tells the Custodian "no", the Custodian will not provide this information to requesting companies. If the Fund tells the Custodian "yes" or does not check either "yes" or "no" below, the Custodian is required by the rule to treat the Fund as consenting to disclosure of this information for all securities owned by the Fund or any funds or accounts established by the Fund. For the Fund`s protection, the Rule prohibits the requesting company from using the Fund`s name and address for any purpose other than corporate communications. Please indicate below whether the Fund consents or objects by checking one of the alternatives below.

YES [ ] The Custodian is authorized to release the Fund`s name, address, and share positions.
