SUBCUSTODIAN AGREEMENT
The undersigned custodian (the "Custodian") for the
investment company identified below (the "Fund") hereby appoints
on the following terms and conditions Bankers Trust Company as
subcustodian (the "Subcustodian") for it and the Subcustodian
hereby accepts such appointment on the following terms and con-
ditions as of the date set forth below.
1. Qualification. The Custodian and the
Subcustodian each represents to the other and to the Fund that
it is qualified to act as a custodian for a registered
investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act").
2. Subcustody. The Subcustodian agrees to maintain
a separate account and to hold segregated at all times from the
Subcustodian's securities and from all other customers' secur-
ities held by the Subcustodian, all the Fund's securities and
evidence of rights thereto ("Fund Securities") deposited, from
time to time by the Custodian with the Subcustodian. The Sub-
custodian will accept, hold or dispose of and take other actions
with respect to Fund Securities in accordance with the Instruc-
tions of the Custodian given in the manner set forth in Section
4 and will take certain other actions as specified in Section 3.
The Subcustodian hereby waives any claim against or lien on any
Fund Securities. The Subcustodian may take steps to register
and continue to hold Fund Securities in the name of the
Subcustodian's nominee and shall take such other steps as the
Subcustodian believes necessary or appropriate to carry out
efficiently the terms of this Agreement. To the extent that
ownership of Fund Securities may be recorded by a book entry
system maintained by any transfer agent or registrar for such
Fund Securities or by Depository Trust Company, the Subcustodian
may hold Fund Securities as a book entry reflecting the
ownership of such Fund Securities by its nominee and need not
possess certificates or any other evidence of ownership of Fund
Securities.
3. Subcustodian's Acts Without Instructions.
Except as otherwise instructed pursuant to Section 4, the
Subcustodian will (i) present all Fund Securities requiring
presentation for any payment thereon, (ii) distribute to the
Custodian cash received thereon, (iii) collect and distribute to
the Custodian interest and any dividends and distributions on
Fund Securities, (iv) at the request of the Custodian, or on its
behalf, execute any necessary declarations or certificates of
ownership (provided by the Custodian or on its behalf) under any
tax law now or hereafter in effect, (v) forward to the
Custodian, or notify it by telephone of, confirmations, notices,
proxies or proxy soliciting materials relating to the Fund
Securities received by it as registered holder (and the
Custodian agrees to forward same to the Fund), and (vi) promptly
report to the Custodian any missed payment or other default upon
any Fund Securities known to it as Subcustodian hereunder (the
Subcustodian shall be deemed to have knowledge of any payment
default on any Fund Securities in respect of which it acts as
paying agent). All cash distributions from the Subcustodian to
the Custodian will be in same day funds, on the same day that
same day funds are received by the Subcustodian unless such
distribution required instructions from the Custodian which were
not timely received. Promptly after the Subcustodian is
furnished with any report of its independent public accountants
on an examination of its internal accounting controls and
procedures for safeguarding securities held in its custody as
subcustodian under this Agreement or under similar agreements,
the Subcustodian will furnish a copy thereof to the Custodian.
4. Instructions, Other Communications. Any officer
of the Custodian designated from time to time by letter to the
Subcustodian, signed by the President or any Vice President and
any Assistant Vice President, Assistant Secretary or Assistant
Treasurer of the Custodian, as an officer of the Custodian auth-
orized to give instructions to the Subcustodian with respect to
Fund Securities (an "Authorized Officer"), shall be authorized
to instruct the Subcustodian as to the acceptance, holding,
pres-entation, disposition or any other action with respect to
Fund Securities from time to time by telephone, or in writing
signed by such Authorized Officer and delivered by tested telex,
tested computer printout or such other reasonable method as the
Custodian and Subcustodian shall agree is designed to prevent
unauthorized officer's instructions; provided, however, the
Subcustodian is authorized to accept and act upon orders from
the Custodian, whether given orally, by telephone or otherwise,
which the Subcustodian reasonably believes to be given by an
authorized person. The Subcustodian will promptly transmit to
the Custodian all receipts and transaction confirmations in
respect of Fund Securities as to which the Subcustodian has
received any instructions. The Authorized Officers shall be as
set forth on Exhibit A attached hereto and, as amended from time
to time, made a part hereof.
5. Liabilities. (i) The Subcustodian shall not be
liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken in carrying
out the terms and provision of this Agreement if done without
willful malfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
Except as otherwise set forth herein, the Subcustodian shall
have no responsibility for ascertaining or acting upon any
calls, conversions, exchange offers, tenders, interest rate
changes or similar matters relating to the Fund Securities
(except at the instructions of the Custodian), nor for informing
the Custodian with respect thereto, whether or not the
Subcustodian has, or is deemed to have, knowledge of the
aforesaid. The Subcustodian is under no duty to supervise or to
provide investment counseling or advice to the Custodian or to
the Fund relative to the purchase, sale, retention or other
disposition of any Fund Securities held hereunder. The
Subcustodian shall for the benefit of the Custodian and the Fund
use the same care with respect to receiving, safekeeping,
handling and delivery of Fund Securities as it uses in respect
of its own securities.
(ii) The Subcustodian will indemnify, defend and
save harmless the Custodian and the Fund from and against all
loss, liability, claims and demands incurred by the Custodian or
the Fund arising out of or in connection with the Subcustodian's
willful malfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
(iii) The Custodian agrees to be responsible for
and indemnify the Subcustodian and any nominee in whose name the
Fund Securities are registered, from and against all loss,
liability, claims and demands incurred by the Subcustodian and
the nominee in connection with the performance of any activity
pursuant to this Agreement, done in good faith and without
negligence, including any expenses, taxes or other charges which
the Subcustodian is required to pay in connection therewith.
6. Each party may terminate this Agreement at any
time by not less than ten (10) business days' prior written
notice. In the event that such notice is given, the
Subcustodian shall make delivery of the Fund Securities held in

the Subcustodian may hold Fund Securities as a book entry

be in same day funds, on the same day funds are received by the

necessary declarations or certificates of ownership (provided by
the Custodian or on its behalf) under any tax law now or
hereafter in effect. The Subcustodian will furnish to the
