The Company agrees to provide the Fund, upon written request, the taxpayer
identification number ("TIN"), the Individual Taxpayer Identification Number
("ITIN"), or other government-issued identifier ("GII"), if known, of any or
all Shareholder(s) of the account and the amount, date, name or other

or account (if known), and transaction type (purchase, redemption, transfer, or
exchange) of every purchase, redemption, transfer, or exchange of Shares held
through each account maintained by the Company during the period covered by the
request.
4A.2. Period Covered by Request
Requests must set forth a specific period, not to exceed 90 days from the date
of the request, for which transaction information is sought. The Fund may
request transaction information older than 90 days from the date of the request

of the outstanding shares issued by the Fund.
4A.3. Form and Timing of Response
(a) The Company agrees to provide, promptly upon request of the Fund or
its designee, the requested information specified in paragraph 1 above. If
requested by the Fund or its designee, the Company agrees to use best
efforts to determine promptly whether any specific person about whom it
has received the identification and transaction information specified in
paragraph 1 is itself a financial intermediary ("indirect intermediary")
and, upon further request of the Fund or its designee, promptly either
(i) provide (or arrange to have provided) the information set forth in
paragraph 1 for those shareholders who hold an account with an indirect
intermediary or (ii) restrict or prohibit the indirect intermediary from
purchasing, in nominee name on behalf of other persons, securities issued
by the Fund.
(b) Responses required by this paragraph must be communicated in writing
and in a format mutually agreed upon by the parties.
(c) To the extent practicable, the format for any transaction information
provided to the Fund should be consistent with the NSCC Standardized Data
Reporting Format.
4A.4. Limitations on Use of Information
The Fund agrees not to use the information received for marketing or any other
similar purpose without the prior written consent of the Company.
4A.5. Agreement to Restrict Trading
The Company agrees to execute written instructions from the Fund to restrict or
prohibit further purchases or exchanges of Shares by a Shareholder that has
been identified by the Fund as having engaged in transactions of the Fund's
Shares (directly or indirectly through the Company's account) that violate
policies established or utilized by the Fund for the purpose of eliminating or
reducing any dilution of the value of the outstanding Shares issued by the Fund.
4A.6. Form of Instructions
Instructions to restrict or prohibit trading must include the TIN, ITIN, or
GII, if known, and the specific restriction(s) to be executed. If the TIN,
ITIN, or GII is not known, the instructions must include an equivalent
identifying number of the Shareholder(s) or account(s) or other agreed upon
information to which the instruction relates.
4A.7. Timing of Response
The Company agrees to execute instructions from the Fund to restrict or
prohibit trading as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than five
business days after receipt of the instructions by the Company.
4A.8. Confirmation by the Company
The Company must provide written confirmation to the Fund that instructions
from the Fund to restrict or prohibit trading have been executed. The Company
