Exhibit (h)(13)

AMENDMENT TO SUB-ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT

This AMENDMENT TO SUB-ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT, is effective as of
January 1, 2006, by and among BARCLAYS GLOBAL INVESTORS, N.A. ("BGI"), and
INVESTORS BANK & TRUST COMPANY (the "Bank").

WHEREAS, BGI and Bank (together, the "Parties") entered into a
Sub-Administration Agreement dated October 21, 1996, as amended from time to
time (the "Agreement"); and

WHEREAS, the Parties desire to amend the Agreement as set forth below.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises set forth herein, and for
other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are
hereby acknowledged, the Parties agree as follows:

1. Amendments.

(a) The following new Section 1A shall be added to the Agreement following
Section 1 thereof:

"1A. Definitions

"Key Performance Indicators" or "KPIs" mean the targets for specific key
Service Levels specified in Appendix D hereto;

"Service Levels" means the service levels set out in the Service Level
Agreement between BGI and the Bank."

(b) Section 6 of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced
with the following:

"6. Term, Termination and Transition Assistance.

6.1 Term and Termination.

(a) Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall be May 21, 2002
through December 31, 2005 (the "Initial Term"). The first renewal
term of this Agreement shall be January 1, 2006 through April 30,
2007 (the "First Renewal Term"). After the expiration of the First
Renewal Term, the term of this Agreement shall automatically renew
for a second renewal term which shall be May 1, 2007 through
April 30, 2013 (the "Second Renewal Term"), unless written notice of
non-renewal is delivered by the Fund to the Bank no later than ninety
(90) days prior to the expiration of the First Renewal Term. Upon
expiration of the Second Renewal Term or any succeeding Renewal Term
(as defined below), the Parties, upon mutual agreement no later than
one hundred eighty (180) days prior to the expiration of the Second
Renewal Term or of any Renewal Term, as the case may be, may renew
this Agreement for successive terms (each, including the First
Renewal Term, a "Renewal Term").

(b) Termination. BGI may terminate this Agreement in whole or in part
(for example, as to any Index Series) prior to the expiration of any
Renewal Term upon sixty (60) days' prior written notice in the form
of Proper Instructions specifying the date upon which termination is
to occur ("Termination Notice") in the event that a

conservator or receiver is appointed for the Bank in accordance with
12 USC (Section) 1821(c) or similar and successor provisions.

(c) Further Termination. BGI may terminate this Agreement in whole or in
part (for example, as to any Portfolio) prior to the expiration of
any Renewal Term in the event:

(i) that Bank fails to meet the criteria defined in each of six
(6) separate Key Performance Indicators, each for four
consecutive months, in any rolling twelve month period. For
avoidance of doubt, this right shall only apply if the failure
by the Bank to meet the Service Level as defined in the
relevant KPI is not (a) the result of force majeure,
(b) caused by BGI or a direct result of a specific request by
BGI, (c) a direct result of a specific request by a duly
authorized agent of BGI, (d) caused by a third party other
than an agent of Bank or (e) the result of an agreement by the
Parties;

(ii) of a material breach of a material provision of the Agreement;

(iii) the Boards of the Portfolios vote to liquidate the Portfolios
and terminate the Portfolios' respective registration
statements with the Securities and Exchange Commission other
than in connection with a merger or acquisition of a Portfolio
or the Portfolios' investment adviser;

(iv) BGI terminates its Custodial, Fund Accounting and Services
Agreement (as amended) with the Bank pursuant to the fiduciary
capacity provision in Section 13.1(b)(ii) of such agreement; or

(v) BGI may terminate this Agreement if the Administration
Agreement between BGI and MIP, and the Administration
Agreement between BGI and BGIF are terminated and no successor
agreements between BGI and MIP and/or BGIF for the provision
of administrative services are subsequently executed within 90
days after the termination of the Administration Agreement
between BGI and MIP, and the Administration Agreement between
BGI and BGIF;

provided that BGI shall not exercise its rights under subsections
(c)(i) or (ii) above unless BGI has first provided written notice to
Bank of its intent to terminate under such subsection, and Bank:
(x) does not present a plan to remedy or cure the KPI or breach that
is reasonably acceptable to BGI, which plan will be provided as soon
as practicable, and in any event not later than ten (10) days after
such notice, and (y) has not made substantial progress toward curing
or remedying that KPI or breach in material respects to the
reasonable satisfaction of BGI, within thirty (30) days of
presenting such plan to BGI.

(d) Assessment of Fee Schedule. Ninety (90) days prior to November 1,
2009, the parties shall assess the Fee Schedule relating hereto, the
current state, and future strategic direction of, BGI, the Bank and
their respective industries. The parties will negotiate in good
faith on amendments to the Fee Schedule arising from such
assessment, and if the parties are unable to agree by November 1,
2009, BGI may in its sole discretion terminate the Agreement.

(e) BGI shall advise the Bank of any service level, practice, policy,
circumstance or any breach by the Bank of which it becomes aware
from time to time that, if unaddressed, would permit the termination
of the Agreement under any of the bases set forth in this
Section 6.1.

(f) At any time after the termination of this Agreement, BGI may, upon
written request, have reasonable access to the records of
Sub-Administrator relating to its performance of its duties as
Sub-Administrator.

6.2 Transition Assistance.

(a) In the event BGI terminates the Agreement or any Portfolio in
accordance with Section 6.1(b), 6.1(c)(i)-(iv) or 6.1(d), or upon
the expiration and non-renewal of the Agreement:

(i) the Bank will immediately upon receipt of notice of
termination or non-renewal, commence and prosecute diligently
to completion the transfer of all property and the delivery of
all assets of BGI and the Portfolios as to which the Agreement
is terminated, duly endorsed, and all records maintained under
the terms hereof and of the Service Level Agreements directly
to the successor administrator selected by BGI or the
Portfolios, as applicable ("Transfer");

(ii) the Bank will provide such reasonably necessary transition
assistance (the "Transition Assistance"). The Bank will fully
cooperate with BGI and will provide such reasonable assistance
as directed by BGI to effectively transition the services
provided by the Bank to BGI under this Agreement to a
successor entity (or entities) as designated by BGI in its
sole discretion, including but not limited to using its
commercially reasonable efforts to provide for an orderly
transition of funds from Bank's custody to the successor's
custody. During such transition period, BGI will continue to
pay the Bank the fees applicable to such services set forth in
the then-current Fee Schedule, plus an amount calculated based
on additional time and materials outside the usual services
provided under this Agreement and required to effect the
conversion of the services to a successor service provider.
The Bank shall provide Transition Services for a period of up
to twenty-four (24) months as requested by BGI;

(iii) Bank and BGI shall negotiate in good faith to agree on a plan
for the orderly transition of BGI to a successor service
provider by no later than sixty (60) days after the date of
termination or non-renewal;

(iv) BGI shall, in the event Transition Assistance is required for
more than twenty-four (24) months from the date of
termination, pay the Bank an annual bonus on a monthly basis
in an amount equal to 5% of the aggregate fees being charged
as of the date of termination; and

(v) BGI and Bank will take all reasonably necessary steps as
mutually agreed by the Parties, to assure the retention of key
employees of Bank involved in the provision of Transition
Services.

6.3 Release.

Upon Transfer of an Index Series or completion of the Transition
Assistance, as the case may be, the Bank shall be released from any and
all further obligations under this Agreement with respect to the Index
Series as to which this Agreement is terminated; provided that Bank shall
continue to be responsible for services normally provided by
administrators post-conversion in the normal course of business at the
Bank's then current rates.

6.4 Survival

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, each Party's
obligations under Sections 5, 9 and 13 hereof shall continue and remain in
full force and effect after the termination of this Agreement.

(c) Service Credits; Technology; Service Enhancements. The following new
Sections 13, 14 and 15 shall be inserted at the end of the Agreement:

"13. Service Levels

(a) Service Credits. Only during the period in which the Bank is providing
Transition Assistance:

(i) In the event Bank fails to meet the criteria defined in the
relevant Key Performance Indicator for two consecutive months,
BGI shall receive a "Service Credit". "Service Credit" shall
mean: a five percent (5%) reduction of fees, only for the
service to which the uncured KPI relates, for the month in
which the uncured KPI failures occurred, and only for the
Index Series affected by the uncured KPI failures. For
avoidance of doubt, this right shall only apply if the failure
by the Bank to meet the Service Level as defined in the
relevant KPI is not (a) the result of force majeure,
(b) caused by BGI or a direct result of a specific request by
BGI, (c) a direct result of a specific request by an agent of
BGI, (d) caused by a third party other than an agent of Bank
or (e) the result of agreement by the Parties.

(ii) Service Credits shall be calculated on a monthly basis, and
the Service Credits shall be payable as an offset against
current or future fees owed by BGI, and upon termination,
expiration or non-renewal of the Agreement, all unused Service
Credits shall be paid in cash to BGI.

(iii) The Bank shall not be deemed to have failed to meet a monthly
KPI where such failure arises from a single underlying cause
that is promptly remedied by the Bank, without the occurrence
of which, the Bank would not have failed to meet that KPI in
that month.

(iv) Time periods referenced in this section 13 shall begin to run
as of the date Bank knows, reasonably should have known, or is
notified of the relevant failure.

(v) The Bank shall earn back 100% of any Service Credit, provided
that the Bank achieves the applicable KPI requirement the
failure of which led to the Service Credit for two consecutive
months beginning in the month following the month in which the
Service Credit is earned. For example, if the Bank fails to
meet a particular KPI for January and February of a year, the
Bank shall earn back 100%

of the associated Service Credit if the Bank meets that KPI in
the months of March and April.

(vi) Bank acknowledges that its failure to meet the minimum levels
set forth in the Key Performance Indicators would have a
material adverse effect on BGI's business. Bank further
acknowledges that the Service Credits represent a reduction in
the fees payable by BGI hereunder which, in turn, reflects
Bank's provision of a lower level of services than that
required by BGI. Bank further acknowledges that the Service
Credits are reasonably proportionate to the loss likely to be
suffered by BGI as a result of the failure by Bank to meet the
applicable KPIs.

(vii) The level of Service Credits payable in any calendar year will
not exceed in aggregate 5% of the aggregate fees payable under
the Agreement for that year.

(viii) BGI shall not be entitled to recover as part of any damages
claim any sums credited or paid as Service Credits if the
damages claim arose from a KPI failure, provided the damages
to which BGI is otherwise entitled arose from the same
services to which the KPI failure relates, for the same Index
Series, and for the same underlying event.

(b) Customized Technology Deliverables. Bank will deliver into escrow for
the benefit of BGI copies of all final requirements documentation related to
any builds, features or functionality customized for BGI, that are
incorporated into or used in connection with the provision of services under
this Agreement (the "Requirements Documentation"), within thirty (30) days
after such builds, features or functionality have been incorporated into or
used in connection with the provision of services. Such Requirements
Documentation shall be in the form customarily produced by the Bank in
connection with such projects generally. BGI shall have access to such
Requirements Documentation only in the event of the termination of this
Agreement other than by reason of breach by BGI. Bank hereby grants to BGI a
worldwide, irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up, non-transferable and
non-exclusive license, solely for the purpose of BGI's or BGI's third party
supplier assuming performance obligations for the Services previously
performed by Bank hereunder.

14. Service Enhancements.

Market Leader: Bank hereby commits that it will use commercially reasonable
efforts to: (i) continue to develop and provide to BGI service enhancements
that will enable BGI to maintain BGI's market leader position in product
innovation, information technology, service delivery and securities lending
(collectively, "Market Efforts"). BGI acknowledges that Bank has been
successful in providing Market Efforts during the Initial Term. Bank agrees
that its Market Efforts will be and will continue to be during the Renewal Term
no less favorable than those being offered at that time by Bank to any other
customer purchasing services of a type substantially similar to the services
provided hereunder relating to BGIs in aggregate substantially similar in scope
(even if smaller in asset size) to the Portfolios serviced under this
Agreement. Bank shall, upon written request, review and have an officer of its
company certify its compliance with this section to BGI. If Bank at any time
offers other customers or brokers processes, discounts and/or other cost
reduction methods or improved services more favorable than those provided to
the Bank pursuant to this Agreement such that the foregoing terms of this
subsection become untrue, Bank shall promptly offer these to BGI prospectively
from the date such more favorable terms were offered to other customers or
brokers, unless Bank is prevented from doing so in a reasonable manner due to
third party patent related

restrictions. Bank acknowledges that the requirements of this paragraph 14 are
a material provision of this Agreement.

15. Dispute Resolution.

(a) In the event of any dispute under the Agreement, each Party will appoint a
designated representative whose task will be to resolve the dispute (the
"Representatives"). The Representatives will have five (5) business days
to meet and discuss in good faith a resolution to the dispute. During the
course of such discussions, each Party will honor the other Party's
reasonable requests for relevant information, including but not limited to
providing copies of relevant documents. The specified format for such
discussions will be left to the discretion of the Representatives, but may
include the preparation and delivery of statements of facts or written
statements of positions.

(b) If the Representatives are unable to resolve the dispute within such five
(5) day period, the Representatives will refer the dispute to their
respective CEO, President or COO (the "Managers"). Such Managers will have
ten (10) business days to meet and discuss in good faith a resolution of
the dispute. If the Managers are unable to resolve the dispute within such
ten (10) day period, the Parties may elect to extend the time for such
dispute resolution, or proceed in accordance with their respective rights
under this Agreement or otherwise.

(c) If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute as set forth herein, the
Parties may, upon mutual agreement, seek to resolve the dispute through
mediation."

* * *

(d) Appendix B to the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced
with Appendix B as attached hereto.

2. Miscellaneous.

a) Except as amended hereby, the Sub-Administration Agreement shall remain
in full force and effect.

b) This Amendment may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Amendment to be
executed by their respective duly authorized officers as of the day and year
first written above.
