Any action or decision of any of the foregoing regulatory authorities or any court of appropriate jurisdiction which affects Financial Institution's ability to act in accordance with the terms of this agreement, including the loss of its exemption from registration as a broker or dealer, will terminate this Agreement effective upon Edgewood's written notice of termination to Financial Institution; AND --- (b) that Financial Institution is registered with the appropriate securities authorities in all states in which its activities make such registration necessary. 2. FINANCIAL INSTITUTION ACTS AS AGENT FOR ITS CUSTOMERS. The parties agree that in each transaction in the Shares of any Fund and with regard to any services rendered pursuant to this Agreement: (a) Financial Institution is acting as agent for the customer; (b) each transaction is initiated solely upon the order of the customer; (c) as between Financial Institution and its customer, the customer will have full beneficial ownership of all Shares of the Funds; (d) each transaction shall be for the account of the customer and not for Financial Institution's account; and (e) each transaction shall be without recourse to Financial Institution provided that Financial Institution acts in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Financial Institution shall not have any Deutsche Family of Funds, Inc. 21997 authority in any transaction to act as Edgewood's agent or as agent for the Funds. B. SALES OF FUND SHARES. 3. EXECUTION OF ORDERS FOR PURCHASE AND REDEMPTION OF SHARES. (a) All orders for the purchase of any Shares shall be executed at the then- current public offering price per share (i.e., the net asset value per share plus the applicable initial sales load, if any) and all orders for the redemption of any Shares shall be executed at the net asset value per share of the applicable Class, in each case as described in the prospectus of the Fund. Any applicable redemption fee or deferred sales charge will be deducted by the Fund prior to the transmission of the redemption proceeds to Financial Institution or its customer. Edgewood and the Funds reserve the right to reject any purchase request in their sole discretion . If required by law, each transaction shall be confirmed in writing on a fully disclosed basis and, if confirmed by Edgewood, a copy of each confirmation shall be sent simultaneously to Financial Institution if Financial Institution so requests. (b) The procedures relating to all orders will be subject to the terms of the prospectus of each Fund and Edgewood's written instructions to Financial Institution from time to time. (c) Payments for Shares shall be made as specified in the applicable Fund prospectus. If payment for any purchase order is not received in accordance with the terms of the applicable Fund prospectus, Edgewood reserves the right, without notice, to cancel the sale and to hold Financial Institution responsible for any loss sustained as a result thereof. 4. INITIAL SALES LOADS PAYABLE TO FINANCIAL INSTITUTION. (a) On each order accepted by Edgewood, in exchange for the performance of sales and/or distribution services, Financial Institution will be entitled to receive the applicable dealer concession provided in the then current Prospectus of the applicable Fund, subject to any adjustment n the rate of Deutsche Family of Funds, Inc. 31997 such concession referred to below, from the amount paid by Financial Institution's customer . The initial sales loads for any Fund shall be those set forth in its prospectus. The rate of the dealer concession payable to Financial Institution may be changed at any time at Edgewood's sole discretion upon written notice to Financial Institution. (b) Transactions may be settled by Financial Institution: (1) by payment of the full purchase price less an amount equal to Financial Institution's applicable percentage of the initial sales load, or (2) by payment of the full purchase price, in which case Financial Institution shall receive, not less frequently than monthly, the aggregate fees due it on orders received and settled. (c) It shall be the obligation of the Financial Institution either: (i) to provide Edgewood with all necessary information regarding the application of the appropriate initial sales load to each transaction, or (ii) to assess the appropriate initial sales load for each transaction and to forward the public offering price, net of the amount of the initial sales load to be reallocated to the Financial Institution, to the appropriate Fund. Neither the Fund nor Edgewood shall have any responsibility to correct the payment or assessment of an incorrect initial sales load due to the failure of the Financial Institution to fulfill the foregoing obligation. 5. ADVANCE COMMISSIONS PAYABLE TO FINANCIAL INSTITUTION. Upon the purchase of certain Shares, as described in the applicable prospectuses, Edgewood will pay Financial Institution an advance commission as set forth on Exhibit A (or, if more recently published, the Fund's current prospectus). This amount is not to be considered an initial sales load and should not be deducted from the public offering price of the Shares which shall be forwarded to the Fund. Generally, a contingent deferred sales charge ("CDSC") will be assessed upon the redemption of Shares with regard to which an advance commission is paid by Edgewood; in the event that Financial Institution notifies Edgewood in writing that Financial Institution elects to waive such advance commission, and if the Fund's prospectus permits such a waiver, the CDSC will not be charged upon the redemption of the relevant Shares. To receive advance commission from Edgewood on Shares that are subject to a CDSC, Financial Deutsche Family of Funds, Inc. 41997 Institution must open investor accounts with the Fund on a fully-disclosed basis or be able to account for share ownership periods used in calculating the CDSC. Furthermore, should the custody (or record ownership) of the shares of the investor account(s) be transferred during the applicable CDSC holding period (as described in the Fund prospectus) to a financial institution which does not maintain investor accounts on a fully disclosed basis and does not account for share ownership periods, the Financial Institution agrees to reimburse Edgewood prior to such transfer for advance commissions paid to it by Edgewood. C. DISTRIBUTION SERVICES. 6. AGREEMENT TO PROVIDE DISTRIBUTION SERVICES. (a) With regard to those Funds which pay asset-based sales charges (pursuant to Distribution and Service Plans ("Plans") adopted for the Funds under Investment Company Act Rule 12b-1), as noted on Exhibit A hereto (or, if more recently published, the Fund's current prospectus), Edgewood hereby appoints Financial Institution to render or cause to be rendered distribution and sales services to the Funds and their shareholders.

For the payment period in which this Agreement becomes effective or terminates, there shall be an appropriate proration of the payments on the basis of the number of days that this Agreement is in effect during the quarter. F. MISCELLANEOUS. 11. DELIVERY OF PROSPECTUSES TO CUSTOMERS.

Financial Institution shall not make any representations concerning any Shares other than those contained in the prospectus or Statement of Additional Information of the Fund or in any promotional materials or sales literature furnished to Financial Institution by Edgewood or the Fund. 12. ERISA ASSETS. (a) Financial Institution understands that the Department of Labor views ERISA as prohibiting fiduciaries of discretionary ERISA assets from receiving administrative service fees or other compensation from funds in which the fiduciary's discretionary ERISA assets are invested. To date, the Department of Labor has not issued any exemptive order or advisory opinion that would exempt fiduciaries from this interpretation. Without specific authorization from the Department of Labor, fiduciaries should carefully avoid investing Deutsche Family of Funds, Inc. 81997 discretionary assets in any fund pursuant to an arrangement where the fiduciary is to be compensated by the fund for such investment. Receipt of such compensation could violate ERISA provisions against fiduciary self-dealing and conflict of interest and could subject the fiduciary to substantial penalties. (b) Financial Institution will not perform or provide any duties which would cause it to be a fiduciary under Section 4975 of the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. For purposes of that Section, Financial Institution understands that any person who exercises any discretionary authority or discretionary control with respect to any individual retirement account or its assets, or who renders investment advice for a fee, or has any authority or responsibility to do so, or has any discretionary authority or discretionary responsibility in the administration of such an account, is a fiduciary. 13. INDEMNIFICATION. (a) Financial Institution shall indemnify and hold harmless Edgewood, DFM, each Fund, the transfer agent of the Company, and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees from all direct or indirect liabilities, losses or costs (including attorneys fees) arising from, related to or otherwise connected with: (1) any breach by Financial Institution of any provision of this Agreement; or (2) any actions or omissions of Edgewood, DFM, any Fund, the transfer agent, and their subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees in reliance upon any oral, written or computer or electronically transmitted instructions believed to be genuine and to have been given by or on behalf of Financial Institution. (b) Edgewood agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Company, each of its Directors, each of its officers who have signed the Registration Statement and each other person, if any, who controls the Company within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, but only with respect to statements or omissions, if any, made in the Registration Statement or any Prospectus, SAI, or any amendment or supplement thereof in reliance upon, and in Deutsche Family of Funds, Inc. 91997 conformity with, information furnished to the Company about Edgewood by or on behalf of Edgewood expressly for the use in the Registration Statement or any Prospecuts, SAI, or any amendment or supplement thereof. In case any action shall be brought against the Company or any other person so indemnified basedon the Registration Staement or any Prospectus, SAI, or any amendment or supplement thereof, and with respect to which indemnity may be sought against Edgewood, Edgewood shall have the rights and duties given to the Company, and the Company and each othr person so indemnified shall have the rights and duties given to Edgewood by the provisions of subsection (a) above. (c) DFM shall indemnify and hold harmless Financial Institution and its subsidiaries, affiliates, officers, directors, agents and employees from and against any and all direct or indirect liabilities, losses or costs (including attorneys fees) arising from, related to or otherwise connected with any breach by DFM of any provision of this Agreement. (d) The agreement of the parties in this Paragraph to indemnify each other is conditioned upon the party entitled to indemnification (Indemnified Party) giving notice to the party required to provide indemnification (Indemnifying Party) promptly after the summons or other first legal process for any claim as to which indemnity may be sought is served on the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnifying Party to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting from it, provided that counsel for the Indemnifying Party who shall conduct the defense of such claim or litigation shall be approved by the Indemnified Party (which approval shall not unreasonably be withheld), and that the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense at its expense. The failure of the Indemnified Party to give notice as provided in this subparagraph (c) shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability other than its indemnity obligation under this Paragraph. No Indemnifying Party, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall, without the consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to the Indemnified Party of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation. Deutsche Family of Funds, Inc. 101997 (e) The provisions of this Paragraph 13 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. 14. CUSTOMER NAMES PROPRIETARY TO FINANCIAL INSTITUTION.

This Paragraph 16 will survive the term of this Agreement. 17. CERTIFICATION OF CUSTOMERS' TAXPAYER IDENTIFICATION NUMBERS. Financial Institution agrees to obtain any taxpayer identification number certification from its customers required under Section 3406 of the Internal Revenue Code, and any applicable Treasury regulations, and to provide Edgewood, DFM, or their respective designee with timely written notice of any failure to obtain such taxpayer identification number certification in order to enable the implementation of any required backup withholding. 18.
