result in an over-issue as identified by Section 8-104(2) of the Uniform
Commercial Code and in case any issue would result in such an over-issue, shall
refuse to countersign and issue, and/or credit, said shares. Except as
specifically agreed in writing between the Administrator and the Fund, the

any check or other payment for purchase of shares of the Fund from an investor,
it will: (A) stamp the envelope with the date of receipt; (B) forthwith process
the same for collection; and (C) determine the amounts thereof due the Fund, and
notify the Fund of such determination and deposit, such notification to be given
on a daily basis of the total amounts determined and deposited to the Fund's
custodian bank account during such day. The Administrator shall then credit the
share account of the investor with the number of shares to be purchased
according to the price of the Fund's shares in effect for purchases made on the
date such payment is received by the Administrator, determined as set forth in
the Fund's current Prospectuses, and shall promptly mail a confirmation of said
purchase to the investor, all subject to any instructions which the Fund may
give to the Administrator with respect to the timing or manner of acceptance of
orders for shares relating to payments so received by it.
(iv) Receive and stamp with the date of receipt all requests for
redemptions or repurchase of shares held in certificate or non-certificate form
and shall process redemptions and repurchase requests as follows: (A) if such
certificate or redemption request complies with the applicable standards

monies to such account as designated by the Administrator for such payment to
the redeeming shareholder of the applicable redemption or repurchase price; (C)
if any such certificate or request for redemption or repurchase does not comply
with applicable standards, the Administrator shall promptly notify the investor
of such fact, together with the reason therefor, and shall effect such
redemption at the relevant Portfolio's price next determined after receipt of
documents complying with said standards or at such other time as the Fund shall
so direct.
(v) Acknowledge all correspondence from shareholders relating
to their share accounts and undertake such other shareholder correspondence as
may from time to time be mutually agreed upon.

3
hold the Administrator harmless against all losses, costs or expenses, including
attorneys' fees and expenses suffered or incurred by the Administrator directly
or indirectly as a result of relying on the telephone instructions of any person
acting on behalf of a shareholder account for which telephone services have been
authorized.
(vii) Transfer on the records of the Fund maintained by it,
shares represented by certificates, as well as issued shares held in non-

transfer and, upon cancellation thereof, to countersign and issue new
certificates or other documents of ownership for a like amount of stock and to
deliver the same pursuant to the transfer instructions.
(viii) Supply, at the expense of the Fund, a supply of continuous
form blank stock certificates. Such blank stock certificates shall be properly
signed, manually or by facsimile, as authorized by the Fund, and shall bear the
Fund's corporate seal or facsimile thereof; and notwithstanding the death,
resignation or removal of any officers of the Fund authorized to sign
certificates of stock, the Administrator may, until otherwise directed by the
Fund, continue to countersign certificates which bear the manual or facsimile
signature of such officer.
(ix) Upon the request of a shareholder of the Fund who requests
a certificate representing his shares, countersign and mail by first class mail
a share certificate to the investor at his address as set forth on the transfer
books of the Fund.
(x) In the event that any check or other order for the payment
of money is returned unpaid for any reason, take such steps, including
redepositing said check for collection or returning said check to the investor,
as the Administrator may, at its discretion, deem appropriate and notify the
Fund of such action, unless the Fund instructs otherwise. However, the
Administrator shall not be liable to the Fund for any returned checks or other
order for the payment of money if it follows reasonable procedures with respect
thereto.
(xi) Prepare, file with the Internal Revenue Service, and mail
to shareholders such returns for reporting payment of dividends and
distributions as are required by applicable laws to be so filed and/or mailed,
and the Administrator shall withhold such sums as are required to be withheld
under applicable Federal income tax laws, rules and regulations.
(xii) Mail proxy statements, proxy cards and other materials and
shall receive, examine and tabulate returned proxies. The Administrator shall
make interim reports of the status of such tabulation to the Fund upon request,
and shall certify the final results of the tabulation.
(d) Dividend Disbursing. The Administrator shall act as Dividend
-------------------
Disbursing Agent for the Fund, and, as such, shall prepare and mail checks or
credit income and capital gain payments to shareholders. The Fund shall advise
the Administrator of the declaration of any dividend or distribution and the
record and payable date thereof at least five (5) days prior to the record date.
The Administrator shall, on or before the payment date of any such dividend or
distribution, notify the Fund's custodian of the estimated amount required to
pay any portion of said dividend or distribution which is payable in cash, and
on or before the
4
payment date of such distribution, the Fund shall instruct its custodian to make
available to the Administrator sufficient funds for the cash amount to be paid
out. If a shareholder is entitled to receive additional shares by virtue of any
such distribution or dividend, appropriate credits will be made to his account
and/or certificates delivered where requested. A shareholder not electing
issuance of certificates will receive a confirmation from the Administrator
indicating the number of shares credited to his account.
(e) Miscellaneous. The Administrator will also:

financial officer to be appointed by the Fund;
(ii) Furnish statistical and research data, clerical services
and stationery and office supplies;
(iii) Assist in the monitoring of regulatory and legislative
developments which may affect the Fund and, in response to such developments,

state laws and regulations; and (B) will consult with outside legal counsel to
the Fund, as necessary or appropriate.
(v) Preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the
1940 Act the records required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under said Act in
connection with the services required to be performed hereunder. The
Administrator further agrees that all such records which it maintains for the
Fund are the property of the Fund and further agrees to surrender promptly to
the Fund any of such records upon the Fund's request.
(f) The Administrator may, at its expense and discretion, subcontract
with any entity or person concerning the provisions of the services contemplated
hereunder. The Administrator will provide prompt notice of such delegation and
provide copies of any such subcontract to the Fund.
4. Fees; Expenses; Expense Reimbursement.
-------------------------------------
(a) For the services rendered for the Fund pursuant to this
Agreement, the Administrator shall be entitled to a fee based on the average net
assets of the Fund determined at the annual rate outlined in Attachment C of
this Agreement and applied to the average daily net assets of the Fund. Such
fees are to be computed daily and paid monthly on the first business day of the
following month. Upon any termination of this Agreement before the end of any
month, the fee for such part of the month shall be prorated according to the
proportion which such period bears to the full monthly period and shall be
payable upon the date of termination of this Agreement.
5
(b) For the purpose of determining fees payable to the Administrator,
the value of the Fund's net assets shall be computed as required by its
Prospectuses, generally accepted accounting principles and resolutions of the
Board.
(c) The Administrator will from time to time employ or associate with
such person or persons as may be fit to assist them in the performance of this
Agreement. Such person or persons may be officers and employees who are employed
by both the Administrator and the Fund. The compensation of such person or
persons for such employment shall be paid by the Administrator and no obligation
will be incurred by or on behalf of the Fund in such respect.
(d) The Administrator will bear all expenses in connection with the
performance of its services under this Agreement except as otherwise expressly
provided herein. Other expenses to be incurred in the operation of the Fund will
be borne by the Fund or other parties, including taxes, interest, brokerage fees
and commissions, if any, salaries and fees of officers and members of the Board
who are not officers, directors, shareholders or employees of the Administrator,
or the Fund's investment adviser or distributor, SEC fees and state Blue Sky
fees, XXXXX filing fees, processing services and related fees, advisory and
administration fees, charges and expenses of pricing and data services,
independent public accountants and custodians, insurance premiums including

purposes and for distribution to current shareholders of the Fund, printing and
production costs of shareholders' reports and corporate meetings, cost and
expenses of Fund stationery and forms; costs of special telephone and data lines
and devices; trade association dues and expenses; and any extraordinary expenses
and other customary Fund expenses; provided, however, that, except as provided
in any distribution plan adopted by the Fund, the Fund will not bear, directly
or indirectly, the cost of any activity which is primarily intended to result in
the distribution of shares of the Fund. In addition, the Administrator may
utilize one or more independent pricing services, approved from time to time by
the Board, to obtain securities prices in connection with determining the net
asset values of the Fund, and the Fund will reimburse the Administrator for its
share of the cost of such services based upon its actual use of the services for
the benefit of the Fund.
5. Proprietary and Confidential Information. The Administrator agrees on
----------------------------------------
behalf of itself and its employees to treat confidentially and as proprietary,
information of the Fund, all records and other information relative to the
Fund's prior, present or potential shareholders, and not to use such records and
information for any purpose other than performance of their responsibilities and
duties hereunder, except after prior notification to and approval in writing by
the Fund, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not be
withheld where the Administrator may be exposed to civil or criminal contempt
proceedings for failure to comply, when requested to divulge such information by
duly constituted authorities, or when so requested by the Fund. Waivers of
confidentiality are automatically effective without further action by the
Administrator with respect to Internal Revenue levies, subpoenas and similar
actions, or with respect to any request by the Fund.

or business in connection with the Administrator's duties hereunder) to be

director, partner, employee or agent or person under the control or direction of
the Administrator even though paid by the Administrator. In no event shall the
Administrator be liable to the Fund or any other party for special or
consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but not limited

thereof, involving gross negligence or willful misfeasance;

shareholder account for which telephone or other electronic services have been
authorized; and
(v) The offer or sale of shares by the Fund in violation of any
requirement under the Federal securities laws or regulations or the securities
laws or regulations of any state, or in violation of any stop order or other
determination or ruling by any Federal agency or any state agency with respect
to the offer or sale of such shares in such state resulting from activities,
actions, or omissions by the Fund or its officers, employees, or agents prior to
the effective date of this Agreement.
(d) The Administrator shall indemnify and hold the Fund harmless from
and against any and all losses, damages, costs, charges, reasonable attorneys'

whichever is later.

-----------------
the parties hereto without the prior consent in writing of the other party;
provided, however, that the Administrator may in its own discretion and without
limitation or prior consent of the Fund, whenever and on such terms and
conditions as it deems necessary or appropriate, enter into subcontracts,
agreements and understandings with non-affiliated third parties; provided, that
such subcontract, agreement or understanding shall not discharge the
Administrator from its obligations hereunder or the delegation of its duties to
another third party.

for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement
arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its
control, including without limitation, acts of God, earthquakes, fires, floods,
wars, civil or military authority or governmental actions, nor shall any such
failure or delay give the Fund the right to terminate this Agreement, unless
