AMENDMENT to
TRANSFER AGENT AND SERVICE AGREEMENT
AMENDMENT AGREEMENT, effective as of March 7, 2008, by and among
XXXXXXX, XXXXXXX FUNDS, INC., a corporation organized under the laws of the
State of Maryland (the "Fund") and STATE STREET BANK AND TRUST COMPANY, a
Massachusetts trust company ("State Street").
WHEREAS the Fund and Investors Bank & Trust Company ("IBT") entered
into a Transfer Agent and Service Agreement dated June 1, 1999, as amended,
modified and supplemented from time to time (the "Transfer Agent Agreement");
WHEREAS, IBT merged with and into State Street, effective July 2,
2007, with the result that State Street now serves as transfer agent under the
Transfer Agent Agreement; and
WHEREAS, the Fund has requested that State Street amend the Transfer
Agent Agreement and State Street has agreed to do so as an accommodation to the
Fund notwithstanding that as amended, the Transfer Agent Agreement is not
identical to the form of transfer agent agreement customarily entered into by
State Street as transfer agent, in order that the services to be provided to
the Fund on behalf of its Portfolios by State Street, as successor by merger to
IBT, may be made consistently and predictably to the Fund.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the mutual
covenants and agreements herein set forth, the parties hereto agree as follows:

necessary to carry out the services set forth in this Transfer
Agency Agreement or as otherwise permitted by law or regulation."
(c) Appendix A to the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the attached Appendix A hereto.

remain in full force and effect.

of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one and the same instrument.

executed by its duly authorized officer, as the case may be, as of the date and
year first above written.
