3.4 In addition, it is understood and agreed that, with respect to the Funds listed on Schedule A hereto with the designation of "Co-Transfer Agent" ("BFDS Funds"), the aggregated record of shareholder share positions and activity shall be maintained by BFDS, and that the Transfer Agent will transmit such aggregated information in mutually

Article 13 Security

13.1 Transfer Agent represents and warrants that, to the best of its knowledge, the various procedures and systems which Transfer Agent has implemented with regard to the safeguarding from loss or damage attributable to fire, theft or any other cause (including provision for twenty-four hours a day restricted access) of a Fund’s blank checks, records and other data and Transfer Agent’s equipment, facilities and other property used in the performance of its obligations hereunder are adequate, and that it will make such changes therein from time to time as in its judgment are required for the secure performance of its obligations hereunder.

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

(1) Comparing Transfer Agent’s database of Fund investor names and personal information against the OFAC SDN list; new accounts and accounts changes are scanned daily by a Transfer Agent compliance specialist and the entire database is scanned each time the OFAC or FINCEN list is updated or the Fund submits a FinCEN 314(a) request to the Transfer Agent.

(c) Delegation. 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

- 24 -

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 transfer agent. Each Fund is desirous of having the Transfer Agent perform certain delegated duties pursuant to the AML Program and the Transfer Agent desires to accept such delegation.

(d) Limitation on Delegation. Each Fund acknowledges and agrees that in accepting the delegation hereunder, the Transfer Agent is agreeing to perform only those duties that have been expressly delegated on 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 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 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 transfer agent receives shareholder and transactional information through industry mandated or customized transmissions that preclude the 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 Transfer Agent of the Delegated Duties, the Transfer Agent understands and acknowledges that the Fund remains responsible for assuring compliance with the USA PATRIOT Act and that the records the Transfer Agent maintains for the Fund relating to the AML Program 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 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 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) Delegated Duties

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

(i) Compare Transfer Agent’s database of Fund investor names and personal information against the OFAC SDN list; new accounts and accounts changes are

- 25 -

scanned daily by a Transfer Agent compliance specialist and the entire database is scanned each time the OFAC list is updated;

(ii) Compare alternate payee standing instructions against the OFAC SDN list;

Provide the Fund with a copy of the SAR within a reasonable time after filing; notify Fund if any further communication is received from U.S. Department of the Treasury or other law enforcement agencies regarding the SAR;

(x) Compare account information to any FinCEN request received by the Fund and provided to the Transfer Agent pursuant to USA PATRIOT Act Sec. 314(a). Provide the Fund with documents/information necessary to respond to requests under USA PATRIOT Act Sec. 314(a) within required time frames; and

(xi) In accordance with procedures agreed upon by the parties (which may be amended from time to time by mutual agreement of the parties) (i) verify the identity of any person seeking to open an account with the Fund, (ii) maintain records of the information used to verify the person’s identity and (iii) determine whether the person appears on any lists of known or suspected terrorists or terrorists organizations provided to the Fund by any government agency and designated as such by United States Department of the Treasury in consultation with the federal functional regulators.

(2) In the event that the Transfer Agent detects activity as a result of the foregoing procedures, which necessitates the filing by the Transfer Agent of a SAR, a

- 26 -

Form 8300 or other similar report or notice to OFAC, then the Transfer Agent shall also promptly notify the Fund, unless prohibited by applicable law.

(g) CIP Services. So that each Fund will comply with its Customer Identification Program (which the Fund is required to have under regulations issued under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act), Transfer Agent will do the following:

(1) Implement procedures under which new accounts in the Fund are not established unless Transfer Agent has obtained the name, date of birth (for natural persons only), address and government-issued identification number (collectively, the “Data Elements”) for each corresponding Customer (as defined in 31 CFR 103.131) .

(2) Use collected Data Elements to attempt to reasonably verify the identity of each new Customer promptly before or within a reasonable time (generally not in excess of thirty days) after each corresponding new account is opened. Methods will consist of non-documentary methods (for which Transfer Agent may use unaffiliated information vendors to assist with such verifications, providing that (i) Transfer Agent’s contract with such vendor requires the vendor to keep and maintain the confidentiality of any information provided by or obtained about a Customer and (ii) Transfer Agent has and continues to forma reasonable belief that such vendors will maintain the confidentiality of any information so described in (i) and documentary methods (both of which Transfer Agent believes will meet the minimum requirements to comply with 31 CFR 13.131(b)(2) or any amendment thereof), and may include procedures under which Transfer Agent personnel conduct additional research to attempt to reasonably verify the identity of Customers who were not verified by Transfer Agent’s initial attempt.

(3) Determine whether the Customer’s name appears on any list of known or suspected terrorists or terrorist organizations issued by any federal government agency and designated as such by the Department of Treasury in consultation with the federal functional regulators.

(4) Record the Data Elements in an electronic repository (or other manner that satisfies the regulation and allows for reasonably easy and prompt retrieval of the Data Elements) designed for this purpose and maintain records relating to verification of new Customers consistent with 31 CFR 103.131(b)(3) ..

(5) Regularly report to the Fund about measures taken, results obtained and Customers for which identities cannot be verified under (1)-(4) above.

(6) If Transfer Agent provides services by which prospective Customers may subscribe for shares in the Fund via the Internet, telephone or application that is mailed to Transfer Agent, work with the Fund to notify prospective Customers, consistent with 31 CFR 103.131(b)(5), about the Fund’s CIP.

(7) Timely file suspicious activity reports (“SARs”) with its or its affiliates’ primary federal regulator, maintain the required records in compliance with 31 CFR

- 27 -

103.18 and at such time as applicable regulations are changed to permit such, Transfer Agent shall submit a copy of the filed SAR to the Fund within 30 days of its filing.

(8) Not later than 15 calendar days after Transfer Agent reasonably determines that Customer transactions or activity is suspicious, report such information in reasonable detail to the Fund.

(9) Certify no less frequently than annually to the Fund in a form that is mutually acceptable to the Fund and the Transfer Agent that Transfer Agent has implemented its anti-money laundering program, and that it will perform the specific requirements for the Fund discussed in this Agreement and as the Fund is required under 31 CFR 103.131.

(10) Set forth on a separate fee schedule compensation amounts due for these CIP Services.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, and without expanding the scope of the express language above, Transfer Agent need not collect the Data Elements for (or verify) prospective Customers beyond the requirements of 31 CFR 103.131 (for example Transfer Agent will not verify customers opening accounts through NSCC).

Notwithstanding anything above to the contrary, Transfer Agent need not perform any of the steps in provisions (1)-(10) above (or any CIP measures) with respect to any Customer who becomes a Customer of a fund (“Fund A”) via exchange from another fund (“Fund B”) in accordance with the Customer’s privilege to exchange shares of Fund B for Fund A, provided that the other Fund B is within the same family of funds as may be provided to the Transfer Agent from time to time.

Transfer Agent agrees that it will permit federal or state examiners to inspect the (i) Funds’ information and records pertaining to the anti-money laundering (“AML”) program and CIP activities on behalf of the aforementioned funds and (ii) Transfer Agent’s AML services program.

Transfer Agent agrees that any AML information provided by or requested from Funds to Transfer Agent will be maintained by Transfer Agent and will be disclosed by Transfer Agent to its employees and agents on a need to know basis or to governmental authorities.

Omnibus Transparency

DST is enhancing TA2000 to support Omnibus Transparency. The SEC's rule 22c-2 requires intermediaries to provide funds with certain shareholder identity and trading information to enable funds to monitor the frequency of short-term trading in omnibus accounts and enforce the funds' market timing policies.

DST's objective is to integrate positions and trade detail from «Prospect_Name»various omnibus relationships with key components of TA2000's nightly process. By doing so, TA2000 will provide the reporting required to audit your intermediaries' compliance with your prospectus rules regarding rights of accumulation, short-term trading and excessive trading. In order to integrate your external account data with TA2000, we will build and store an abbreviated record for each account master and transaction. We will refer to this as an "accountlet". An accountlet will exist for each unique fund and account number received and stored on TA2000 from an omnibus accounting system.
