17f-5 under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), and Rule 17f-7 under
the 1940 Act, and contemplates that the Funds’ assets may be maintained outside of the United

2. | AGIA hereby accepts responsibility for the delegated duties and responsibilities set forth in paragraph 1 above. |
3. | This Delegation Agreement may be terminated without payment of any penalty by AGI Fund Management, RCM or AGIA on 60 days’ written notice to the other parties.
