company (the "Bank"), the a Maryland
corporation, on behalf of its Investment Portfolios (the "Fund"),
and Comerica Bank, a Michigan banking corporation (the
"Custodian").
WHEREAS, the Custodian has entered into a Custodian
Agreement with the Fund, an open-end investment company, to
provide custody services; and
WHEREAS, the Custodian and the Fund wish to retain the Bank
to provide certain sub-custodian services to the Custodian and the
Fund for the benefit of the Fund and the Bank is willing to
furnish such services;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual
covenants herein contained, it is agreed between the parties
hereto as follows:
1. Appointment and Acceptance; Accounts. (a) The Fund
and the Custodian hereby appoints the Bank as a custodian of
Property (as defined below) owned or under the control of the Fund
that is delivered to the Bank, or any Subcustodian as appointed
below, from time to time to be held in custody for the benefit of
the Fund.
(b) Prior to the delivery of any Property by the Custodian
to the Bank, the Custodian shall deliver to the Bank each document
and other item listed in Appendix 1. In addition, the Custodian
and/or the Fund shall deliver to the Bank any additional documents
or items as the Bank may deem necessary for the performance of its
duties under this Agreement.
(c) The Fund instructs the Bank to establish on the books
and records of the Bank the accounts listed in Appendix 2 (the
'Accounts") in the name of the Investment Portfolios of the Fund.
Upon receipt of Authorized Instructions (as defined below) and
appropriate documentation, the Bank shall open additional Accounts
for the Investment Portfolios of the Fund. Upon the Bank's
confirmation to the Custodian and the Fund of the opening of such
additional Accounts, or of the closing of Accounts, Appendix 2
shall be deemed automatically amended or supplemented accordingly.
The Bank shall record in the Accounts and shall have general
responsibility for the safekeeping of all securities
("Securities"), cash, cash equivalents and other property (all
such Securities, cash, cash equivalents and other property being
collectively the "Property") of the Fund that are delivered to the
Bank for custody.
(d) The procedures the Bank, the Custodian and the Fund
will use in performing activities in connection with the Agreement
are set forth in a client services guide provided to the Custodian
and the Fund by the Bank, as such guide may be amended from time
to time by the Bank by written notice to the Custodian and the
Fund (the "Client Services Guide").
2. Subcustodians. The Board of Trustees of the Fund
authorizes the Bank to hold the Property of the Fund in omnibus
accounts which have been established by the Bank with (i) one of
its branches, a branch of a qualified U.S. bank or an eligible
foreign custodian as listed on Exhibit A (the "Subcustodians")
which Exhibit may be amended by the Bank from to time to time upon
sixty (60) days prior written notice from the Bank or (ii) an
eligible foreign securities depository as listed on Exhibit B.
Unless notified in writing to the contrary by the Fund during the
sixty (60) day notice period, the Bank shall assume that the Fund
has obtained all necessary approvals of any new Subcustodian and
the proposed amendment to Exhibit A shall become effective as of
the proposed effective date; provided however, that in the event
that the Fund notifies the Bank that any necessary approval will
not be obtained prior to the proposed effective date for such
amendment, the Fund shall, as soon as practicable but in any event
within 120 days from the date of the Bank's initial notice of the
proposed amendment, obtain the requisite approvals or, in the
alternative, issue Authorized Instructions to the Bank to deliver
any Property affected by the proposed amendment in accordance with
such Authorized Instructions and absent any such Authorized
Instructions, the Bank shall assume that the Fund obtained such
requisite approvals within the 120-day period. For purposes of
this Agreement (a) "qualified U.S. bank" shall mean a qualified
U.S. bank as defined in Rule 17f-5 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended ("Rule 17f-5"); (b) "eligible foreign
custodian" shall mean (i) a banking institution or trust company
incorporated or organized under the laws of a country other than
the United States that is regulated as such by that country's
government or an agency thereof and that has shareholders' equity
in excess of $200 million in U.S. currency (or a foreign currency
equivalent thereto) or (ii) a majority-owned direct or indirect
subsidiary of a qualified U.S. bank or bank holding company that
is incorporated or organized under the laws of a country other
than the United States and that has shareholders' equity in excess
of $100 million in U.S. currency (or a foreign currency equivalent
thereto); and (c) "eligible foreign securities depository" shall
mean a securities depository or clearing agency incorporated or
organized under the laws of a country other than the United
States, which operates (i) the central system for handling of
securities or equivalent book-entries in that country or (ii) a
transactional system for the central handling of securities or
equivalent book-entries; provided, however that although the Bank
is of the opinion that each of the securities depositories used by
it and its Subcustodians do operate a central system for handling
securities in their respective countries, the determination that a
securities depository operates a central system absent any
official proclamation by the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC") is a factual one and the Bank shall not be liable for any
future determination by the SEC that any such securities
depository does not in fact operate such a central system.
If the Bank appoints other Subcustodians to hold the Fund's
Property, it will so notify the Custodian and the Fund in
accordance with this Section 2 and will provide them with
information reasonably necessary to determine any such new
Subcustodian's eligibility under Rule 17f-5, including a copy of
the proposed agreement with such Subcustodian.
If the Bank removes any Subcustodian it shall so notify the
Fund and the Custodian in accordance with this Section 2 and shall
move the Property deposited with such Subcustodian to another
Subcustodian or a new Subcustodian, provided that the appointment
of any new Subcustodian will be subject to the requirements set
forth in this Section 2. The Bank shall take steps as may be
required to remove any subcustodian which has ceased to meet the
requirements of this Section 2.
The Bank shall hold Property through a Subcustodian,
securities depository or clearing agency only if (a) such
Subcustodian and any securities depository or clearing agency in
which such Subcustodian or the Bank holds Property, or any for
their creditors, may not assert any right, charge, security
interest, lien, encumbrance or other claim of any kind to such
Property except a claim of payment for its safe custody or
administration and (b) beneficial ownership of such Property may
be freely transferred without the payment of money or value other
than for safe custody or administration.

the Fund any Property held by a Subcustodian for the Bank's
account;
(c) The Bank shall require that Property held by the
Subcustodian for the Bank's account be identified on the
Subcustodian's books as separate from any other property held by
the Subcustodian other than property of the Bank's customers held
solely for the benefit of customers of the Bank; and
(d) In the event the Subcustodian holds Property in a
securities depository or clearing agency, such Subcustodian shall
be required by its agreement with the Bank to identify on its
books such Property as being held for the account of the Bank as

by local law or market practice.
(e) Any Property in an account held by a Subcustodian of
the Bank will be subject only to the instructions of the Bank or
its agent; and any Property held in an eligible foreign securities
depository for the account of a Subcustodian will be subject only
to the instruction of such Subcustodian.
(f) The Bank hereby warrants to the Fund and the Custodian
that each of its branches, each branch of a qualified U.S. bank,
each eligible foreign custodian and each eligible foreign
securities depository holding Property of the fund pursuant to
this Agreement meets the standards established for inclusion in
its sub-custody network set forth in Section 2 of this Agreement.
(g) The Bank hereby warrants to the Fund and the Custodian
that as of the date of this Agreement it is maintaining the
insurance coverage set forth in Exhibit C hereto and hereby agrees
to maintain comparable coverage in a commercially reasonable
manner during the term of this Agreement.
4. Access to Records. The Bank shall allow the Fund's
accountants reasonable access to the Bank's records relating to
the Property held by the Bank as such accountants may reasonably
require in connection with their examination of the Fund's
affairs. The Bank shall also obtain from any Subcustodian (and
shall require each Subcustodian to use reasonable efforts to
obtain from any securities depository or clearing agency in which
it deposits Property) an undertaking, to the extent consistent
with local practice and the laws of the jurisdiction or
jurisdictions to which such Subcustodian, securities depository or
clearing agency is subject, to permit independent public
accountants such reasonable access to the records of such
Subcustodian, securities depository or clearing agency as may be
reasonably required in connection with the examination of the
Fund's affairs or to take such other actions as the Bank in its
judgment may deem sufficient to ensure such reasonable access.

its investment adviser, and the Custodian at least monthly a
statement with respect to any property in an Account held by each
Subcustodian, including an identification of the entity having
possession of such Property, and the Bank will send to the Fund
and the Custodian an advice or notification of any transfers of
Property to or from the Account, indicating, as to Property
acquired for an Investment Portfolio of the Fund, the identity of
the entity having physical possession of such Property. The Bank
shall also provide to the Fund, on an annual basis, a report
confirming that the arrangements hereunder remain in compliance
with the terms of this Agreement.

Subcustodian to make, payments from monies being held in the
Accounts only in accordance with Authorized Instructions or as

requirement so that the Fund may seek a protective order or waive
