Ladies and Gentlemen:
Reference is made to the Transfer Agency and Service Agreement between
us dated as of April 1, 1993 (the "Agreement").
This is to inform you that we have completed our reorganization from a
"master-feeder" structure to a "multi-class" structure. As a result of this
reorganization, each of our various Institutional Portfolio series has been
renamed to replace the phrase "Institutional Portfolio" with the phrase "Fund,"
and the former shareholders of each Institutional Portfolio now hold Class I
shares of the Fund. The Funds will continue as Portfolios under the Agreement.
In addition, the A, B, C and Qualified Portfolio series which
previously corresponded to each Institutional Portfolio series have been
dissolved, and the shareholders of such Portfolios now hold Class A, B, C and Q
shares of the corresponding Fund. Accordingly, the previous A, B, C and
Qualified Portfolio series are hereby deleted as Portfolios under the Agreement.
This will further confirm that the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxxxxxx Global
Technology Fund has been added as a Portfolio under the Agreement.
Please indicate your acceptance of this amendment by signing the
letter below and returning a copy to us. Thank you for your assistance
regarding this matter.
Sincerely,
E. Xxxxx Xxxxx, Jr.
Secretary
