MUNICIPAL FUND FOR TEMPORARY INVESTMENT
ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT dated as of January 18, 1993 between MUNICIPAL FUND
FOR TEMPORARY INVESTMENT, a Pennsylvania common law trust (the "Company"),
PROVIDENT FINANCIAL PROCESSING CORPORATION, a Delaware corporation, and
Provident Distributors, Inc. ("PDI"), a Delaware corporation (collectively, the
"Administrators").
WHEREAS, the Company is registered as an open-end, diversified
management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended (the "1940 Act"); and
WHEREAS, the Company desires to retain the Administrators to
provide, as co-administrators, certain administration services for each series
and subseries of units of beneficial interest ("shares") in each of the
Company's investment portfolios (individually, a "Fund," collectively, the
"Funds") as listed on Appendix A (as such Appendix may, from time to time, be
supplemented (or amended)) and the Administrators are willing to furnish such
services;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual
covenants herein contained and intending to be legally bound, it is agreed
between the parties hereto as follows:
1. APPOINTMENT OF ADMINISTRATORS. The Company hereby
appoints each of the Administrators jointly to provide administration services
to each series and subseries of shares in each of the Company's Funds on the
terms and for the period set forth in this Agreement. The Administrators
accept such appointment and agree to perform the services and duties set forth
in Section 3 below in return for the compensation provided in Section 5 below.
In the event that the Company establishes additional series or investment
portfolios other than the Funds listed on Appendix A with respect to which it
desires to retain the Administrators to act as co-administrators hereunder, the
Company shall notify the Administrators, whereupon such Appendix A shall be
supplemented (or amended) and such portfolio shall become a Fund hereunder and
shall be subject to the provisions of this Agreement to the same extent as the
Funds (except to the extent that said provisions, including the compensation
payable on behalf of such new Fund, may be modified in writing by the Company
and Administrators at the time).
