Such inquiries may include requests for information on account set-up and maintenance, general questions regarding the operation of the Funds, general account information including dates of purchases, redemptions, exchanges and account balances, requests for account access instructions and literature requests;”
2. Section 12.1 Term. Section 12 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and the following language is inserted in lieu thereof:
“12.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall be from November 15, 2006 through September 30, 2007 (the “Term”) unless a terminating party gives written notice to the other party at least one hundred and twenty (120) days before the expiration of the Term. This Agreement will renew automatically for additional twelve (12) month periods (the “Renewal Term”), unless a terminating party gives written notice to the other party at least one-hundred and fifty (150) days before the expiration of a Renewal Term.”

which would, other than for such discounts, have been due and owing by the Funds during the Term (currently $360,000 per year).
During the Renewal Term should the Funds terminate the Agreement without the required notice pursuant to Section 12.1, the Funds shall pay to the Transfer Agent an amount equal to the average monthly fee paid by the Fund to the Transfer Agent under the Agreement for the five (5) months previous or for the remainder of the term, whichever is greater.”
In the event that the Fund and the Transfer Agent do not agree on a new fee schedule at least one hundred and twenty (120) days prior to the expiration of the Term and neither party has terminated the Agreement pursuant to Section 12, then the parties agree that Schedule 3.1 shall continue to be in effect during the Renewal Term.”
