Written Instructions to Fund/Plan.
TRANSFER AGENCY SERVICES
Section 2. Fund/Plan as Transfer Agent shall make original issues of
Shares in accordance with Section 9 and 10 below and with each Series'
Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information upon the written request of
the Trust, and upon being furnished with (i) a certified copy of a resolution or
resolutions of the Board of Trustees of the Trust authorizing such issue; (ii)
an opinion of counsel as to the validity of such Shares; and (iii) necessary
funds for the payment of any original issue tax applicable to such additional
Shares.
Section 3. Transfers of Shares shall be registered and new Shares
issued by Fund/Plan upon redemption of outstanding Shares, (i) in the form
deemed by Fund/Plan to be properly endorsed for transfer, (ii) with all
necessary endorser's signatures guaranteed pursuant to Rule 17Ad-15 under the
Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, accompanied by, (iii) such
assurances as Fund/Plan shall deem necessary or appropriate to evidence the
genuineness and effectiveness of each necessary endorsement, and (iv)
satisfactory evidence of compliance with all applicable laws relating to the
payment or collection of taxes.
Section 4. In registering transfers, Fund/Plan as Transfer Agent may
rely upon the applicable commercial code or any other applicable law which, in
the written opinion (a copy of which shall previously have been furnished to the
Trust) of counsel, protect Fund/Plan and the Trust in not requiring complete
documentation, in registering transfer without inquiry into adverse claims, in
delaying registration for purposes of such inquiry, or in refusing registration
where in its judgment an adverse claim requires such refusal.
Section 5. With respect to confirmed trades received by Fund/Plan as
Transfer Agent for the Series, Fund/Plan shall periodically notify the Trust of
the current status of outstanding confirmed trades. Fund/Plan is authorized to
cancel confirmed trades which have been outstanding for thirty (30) days. Upon
such cancellation, Fund/Plan shall instruct the accounting agent to adjust the
books of the Trust accordingly.
Section 6. Fund/Plan will maintain stock registry records in the usual
form in which it will note the issuance, transfer and redemption of Shares.
Fund/Plan is responsible to provide reports of Share purchases, redemptions, and
total Shares outstanding on the next business day after each net asset
valuation. Fund/Plan is authorized to keep records, which will be part of the
stock transfer records, in which it will note the names and registered address
of Shareholders and the number of Shares and fractions thereof owned by them.
Section 7. Fund/Plan in its capacity as Transfer Agent will, in
addition to the duties and functions above-mentioned, perform the usual duties
and functions of a stock transfer agent for an investment company as listed in
Schedule "A". Fund/Plan may rely conclusively and act without further
investigation upon any list, instruction, certification, authorization or other
instrument or paper believed by it in good faith to be genuine and unaltered,
and to have been signed, countersigned, or executed by duly authorized person or
persons, or upon the instructions of any officer of the Trust, or upon the
advice of counsel for the Trust or for Fund/Plan. Fund/Plan may record any
transfer of Shares which is reasonably believed by it to have been duly
authorized or may refuse to record any transfer of Shares if in good faith
Fund/Plan in its capacity as Transfer Agent deems such refusal necessary in
order to avoid any liability either of the Trust or Fund/Plan. The Trust agrees
to indemnify and hold harmless Fund/Plan from and against any and all losses,
costs, claims, and liability which it may suffer or incur by reason of so
relying or acting or refusing to act. Fund/Plan shall maintain and reconcile all
operating bank accounts necessary to facilitate all transfer agency processes;
including, but not limited to, distribution disbursements, redemptions and
payment clearance accounts.
Section 8. In case of any request or demand for the inspection of the
Share records of the Series, Fund/Plan as Transfer Agent shall endeavor to
notify the Trust and to secure instructions as to permitting or refusing such
inspection. Fund/Plan may, however, exhibit such records to any person in any
case where it is advised by its counsel that it may be held liable for failure
to do so.
ISSUANCE OF SHARES
Section 9. Prior to the daily determination of net asset value in
accordance with the Series' Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information,
Fund/Plan shall process all purchase orders received since the last
determination of the Series' net asset value.
Fund/Plan shall calculate daily the amount available for investment in
Shares at the net asset value determined by the Series' pricing agent as of the
close of regular trading on the New York Stock Exchange, the number of Shares
and fractional Shares to be purchased and the net asset value to be deposited
with the Custodian. Fund/Plan as agent for the Shareholders shall place a
purchase order daily with the appropriate Series for the proper number of Shares
and fractional Shares to be purchased and confirm such number to the Trust, in
writing.
Section 10. Fund/Plan having made the calculations provided for in
Section 9, shall thereupon pay over the net asset value of Shares purchased to
the Custodian. The proper number of Shares and fractional Shares shall then be
issued daily and credited by Fund/Plan to the Shareholder Registration Records.
The Shares and fractional Shares purchased for each Shareholder will be credited
by Fund/Plan to that Shareholder's separate account. Fund/Plan shall mail to
each Shareholder a confirmation of each purchase, with copies to the Trust, if
requested. Such confirmations will show the prior Share balance, the new Share
balance, the amount invested and the price paid for the newly purchased Shares.
REDEMPTIONS
Section 11. Fund/Plan shall, prior to the daily determination of net
asset value in accordance with the Series' Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information, process all requests from Shareholders to redeem Shares
and determine the number of Shares required to be redeemed to make monthly
payments, automatic payments or the like. Thereupon, Fund/Plan shall advise the
Trust of the total number of Shares available for redemption and the number of
Shares and fractional Shares requested to be redeemed. Fund/Plan as pricing
agent shall then determine the applicable net asset value, whereupon Fund/Plan
shall furnish the Trust with an appropriate confirmation of the redemption and
process the redemption by filing with the Custodian an appropriate statement and
make the proper distribution and application of the redemption proceeds in
accordance with each Series' Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information.
The stock registry books recording outstanding Shares, the Shareholder
Registration Records and the individual account of the Shareholder shall be
properly debited.
Section 12. The proceeds of redemption shall be remitted by Fund/Plan
in accordance with the appropriate Series' Prospectus and Statement of
Additional Information, by check mailed to the Shareholder at the Shareholder's
registered address or wired to an authorized bank account.
For the purposes of redemption of Shares which have been purchased
within 15 days of a redemption request, the Trust shall provide Fund/Plan, from
time to time, with Written Instructions concerning the time within which such
requests may be honored.
DIVIDENDS
Section 13. The Trust shall notify Fund/Plan of the date of each
dividend declaration or capital gains
distribution and the record date for determining the Shareholders entitled to
payment. The per-share payment amount of any dividend or capital gain shall be
determined by the Trust after receipt of necessary information from and
consultation with Fund/Plan.
Section 14. On or before each payment date, the Trust will notify
Fund/Plan in its capacity as dividend disbursing agent of the total amount of
the dividend or distribution currently payable. Fund/Plan will, on the
designated payment date, automatically reinvest all dividends in additional
Shares except in cases where Shareholders have elected to receive distribution
in cash, in which case Fund/Plan will mail distribution checks to the
Shareholders for the proper amounts payable to them from monies transferred by
the Custodian to Fund/Plan for that purpose.
FEES
Section 15. The Trust agrees to pay Fund/Plan compensation for its
services and to reimburse it for expenses, at the rates and amounts as set forth
in Schedule "B" attached hereto, and as shall be set forth in any amendments to
such Schedule "B" approved by the Trust and Fund/Plan. The Trust agrees and
understands that Fund/Plan's compensation be comprised of two components:
(i) An annual Shareholder account maintenance fee calculated by
multiplying the monthly average number of accounts in each Series by one twelfth
(1/12th) the per account fee as stated in Schedule "B", subject to a minimum fee
per Series, which fee the Trust hereby authorizes Fund/Plan to collect by
debiting the Trust's custody account for invoices which are rendered for such
services performed. The invoices for the services performed will be sent to the
Trust after such debiting with the indication that payment has been made; and
(ii) reimbursement of any reasonable out-of-pocket expenses paid by
Fund/Plan on behalf of the Trust, which out-of-pocket expenses will be billed to
the Trust within the first ten calendar days of the month following the month in
which such out-of-pocket expenses were incurred. The Trust agrees to reimburse
Fund/Plan for such expenses within ten calendar days of receipt of such xxxx.
For the purpose of determining fees payable to Fund/Plan, the value of
each Series' net assets shall be computed at the times and in the manner
specified in each Series' Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information
then in effect.
During the term of this Agreement, should the Trust seek services or
functions in addition to those outlined above or in Schedule "A" attached, a
written amendment to this Agreement specifying the additional services and
corresponding compensation shall be executed by both Fund/Plan and the Trust.
GENERAL PROVISIONS
Section 16. Fund/Plan shall maintain records (which may be part of the
stock transfer records) in connection with the issuance and redemption of
Shares, and the disbursement of dividends and dividend reinvestments, in which
will be noted the transactions effected for each Shareholder and the number of
Shares and fractional Shares owned by each Shareholder. Fund/Plan agrees to make
available upon request and to preserve for the periods prescribed in Rule 31a-2
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended, any records relating to
services provided under this Agreement which are required to be maintained by
Rule 31a-1 under the Act.
Section 17. In addition to the services as Transfer Agent and dividend
disbursing agent set forth above, Fund/Plan will perform other services for the
Trust as agreed upon from time to time, including but not limited to,
preparation of and mailing Federal Tax Information Forms and mailing semi-annual
reports to shareholders of the Trust.
Section 18. Nothing contained in this Agreement is intended to or shall
require Fund/Plan in any capacity hereunder, to perform any functions or duties
on any holiday, day of special observance or any other day on which the
Custodian or the New York Stock Exchange are closed. Functions or duties
normally scheduled to be performed on such days shall be performed on, and as
of, the next business day on which both the New York Stock Exchange and the
Custodian are open.
Section 19.
(a) Fund/Plan, its directors, officers, employees,
shareholders and agents shall only be liable for any error of judgment or
mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Trust, in connection with the
performance of this Agreement that result from willful misfeasance, bad faith,
negligence or reckless disregard on the part of Fund/Plan in the performance of
its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
(b) Any person, even though also a director, officer,
employee, shareholder or agent of Fund/Plan, who may be or become an officer,
trustee, employee, or agent of the Trust, shall be deemed, when rendering
services to such entity or acting on any business of the Trust, (other than
services or business in connection with Fund/Plan's duties hereunder), to be
rendering such services to or acting solely for the Trust and not as a director,
officer, employee, shareholder or agent of, or one under the control or
direction of Fund/Plan even though that person is being paid salary by
Fund/Plan.
(c) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the
Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless Fund/Plan, its directors, officers,
employees, shareholders and agents from and against any and all claims, demands,
expenses and liabilities (whether with or without basis in fact or law) of any
and every nature which Fund/Plan may sustain or incur or which may be asserted
against Fund/Plan by any person by reason of, or as a result of (i) any action
taken or omitted to be taken by Fund/Plan in good faith hereunder; (ii) any
action taken or omitted to be taken by Fund/Plan in good faith in reliance upon
any certificate, instrument, order, or stock certificate or other document
reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to be signed, countersigned or
executed by any duly authorized person, upon the Oral Instructions or Written
Instructions of an authorized person of the Trust or upon the opinion of legal
counsel to the Trust, or its own counsel; or (iii) any action taken or omitted
to be taken by Fund/Plan in connection with its appointment under this
agreement, which action or omission was taken in good faith in reliance upon any
law, act, regulation or interpretation of the same even though the same may
thereafter have been altered, changed, amended, or repealed. Indemnification
under this subparagraph, however, shall not apply to actions or omissions of
Fund/Plan or its directors, officers, employees, shareholders, or agents in
cases of its or their own negligence, willful misconduct, bad faith, or reckless
disregard of its or their own duties hereunder.
(d) Fund/Plan shall give written notice to the Trust within
ten (10) business days of receipt by Fund/Plan of a written assertion or claim
of any threatened or pending legal proceeding which may be subject to this
indemnification. The failure to notify the Trust of such written assertion or
claim shall not, however, operate in any manner whatsoever to relieve the Trust
of any liability arising under this Section or otherwise, except to the extent
that failure to give notice prejudices the Trust.
(e) For any legal proceeding giving rise to this
indemnification, the Trust shall be entitled to defend or prosecute any claim in
the name of Fund/Plan at its own expense and through counsel of its
own choosing if it gives written notice to Fund/Plan within ten (10) business
days of receiving notice of such claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Fund/Plan
may participate in the litigation at its own expense through counsel of its own
choosing. In the event the Trust chooses to defend or prosecute such claim, the
parties shall cooperate in the defense or prosecution thereof and shall furnish
such records and other information as are reasonably necessary.
(f) The Trust shall not settle any claim under Section 19(d)
and 19(e) without Fund/Plan's express written consent, which consent shall not
be unreasonably withheld. Fund/Plan shall not settle any such claim without the
Trust's express written consent, which likewise shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
Section 20. Fund/Plan is authorized, upon receipt of Written
Instructions from the Trust, to make payment upon redemption of Shares without a
signature guarantee. The Trust hereby agrees to indemnify and hold Fund/Plan,
its successors and assigns, harmless of and from any and all expenses, damages,
claims, suits, liabilities, actions, demands, losses whatsoever arising out of
or in connection with a payment by Fund/Plan upon redemption of Shares pursuant
to Written Instructions and without a signature guarantee; upon the request of
Fund/Plan, the Trust shall assume the entire defense of any action, suit or
claim subject to the foregoing indemnity. Fund/Plan shall notify the Trust of
any such action, suit or claim within thirty (30) days after receipt by
Fund/Plan of notice thereof.
Section 21.
(a) Except to the extent there is material negligent
non-performance by Fund/Plan of its duties under this Agreement, the term of
this Agreement shall be for a period of two (2) years, commencing on the
effective date of the Trust's registration statement ("Effective Date") with the
U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
(b) The fee schedule set forth in Schedule "B" attached shall
be fixed for two (2) years commencing on the Effective Date of this Agreement.
Thereafter, the fee schedule will be subject to review and adjustment.

Fund/Plan may give written notice to the other of the termination of this
Agreement, such termination to take effect at the time specified in the notice,
which date shall not be less than ninety (90) days after the date of giving
notice. Upon the effective termination date, the Trust shall pay to Fund/Plan
such compensation as may be due as of the date of termination and shall likewise
reimburse Fund/Plan for any out-of-pocket expenses and disbursements reasonably
incurred by Fund/Plan to such date.
(d) In the event that in connection with termination of this
Agreement a successor to any of Fund/Plan's duties or responsibilities under
this Agreement is designated by the Trust by written notice to Fund/Plan,
Fund/Plan shall promptly upon such termination and at the expense of the Trust,
transfer all Shareholder records and shall cooperate in the transfer of such
duties and responsibilities.
Section 22. The Trust shall file with Fund/Plan a certified copy of
each resolution of its Board of Trustees authorizing the execution of Written
