compliance with all applicable laws and regulations, both state and federal,

of any mortgage, indenture, credit agreement or other contract binding on it or
affecting its property which would prohibit its execution or performance of
this Agreement.
3. The Fund hereby covenants that on each Business Day on which

directors of the Fund appointing the Bank as its agent to act hereunder and
providing for the creation of the Accounts and the execution by the Fund of
this Agreement;

enforceable against the Fund in accordance with its terms, subject to the

conveyance and other similar laws affecting the rights of creditors generally

dividends and other distributions by the Fund with respect to Shares of such
Series.
2. The Bank shall receive money for credit to an Account only:
(i) by personal presentment by the Fund, but not by a Shareholder of the Fund,
at the branch or branches in Manhattan identified from time to time by the Bank
to the Fund, provided such presentment is in accordance with the time frames
specified by the Bank to the Fund; (ii) by wire transfer to an account

and include all other information reasonably required by the Bank from time to
time.
4. On each Business Day the Bank shall provide the Fund, in the
manner, and in accordance with the time frames, specified in Schedule I hereto,
the information with respect to the Accounts specified in Schedule I hereto.
ARTICLE IV
OVERDRAFTS OR DISBURSEMENT
--------------------------
If the Bank in its sole discretion advances funds, in connection with
this Agreement, or if there shall arise for whatever reason an overdraft or
other indebtedness in connection with any Account, such advancement of funds or
overdraft with respect to such Account shall be deemed a loan made by the Bank
to the Fund with respect to the Series to which such Account relates payable on
demand, and bearing interest from the date incurred at the Overdraft Rate, such
Overdraft Rate to be adjusted on the effective date of any change in the prime
commercial lending rate constituting a part thereof. The Fund hereby agrees
with respect to the Account(s) and any such advancement of funds or overdraft
that the Bank shall have a continuing lien and security interest in and to any
property at
-13-
16
any time held by it for the benefit of the Fund that is specifically allocated
to the Series to which such Account relates either hereunder or under the
Fund's Custody Agreement with the Bank, or in which such Series may have an
interest which is then in the Bank's possession or control or in possession or
control of any third party acting in the Bank's behalf, including in its behalf
as Custodian under the Fund's Custody Agreement with the Bank, provided such
lien and security interest shall from time to time be limited to that property
whose value from time to time does not exceed the amount of such outstanding
advancement of funds or overdraft and interest thereon. The Fund authorizes
the Bank, in its sole discretion, at any time to charge any such overdraft or
indebtedness with respect to a Series, together with interest due thereon at
the Overdraft Rate, against any balance of accounts standing to the Fund's
credit that is specifically allocated to such Series on the books of the Bank,
including those books maintained by the Bank in its capacity as Custodian for
the Fund under its Custody Agreement with the Fund.
ARTICLE V
ACCESS
------
1. The Bank shall grant access to the Fund via computer, video
(CRT) terminals or other on-line systems (the "Access") between the Bank and
the Fund so that the Fund may thereby obtain direct on-line access to its
Accounts. Such access shall permit
-14-
17
the Fund at the times mutually agreed upon by the Bank and the Fund (i) to
determine the Chargeable Debits and Chargeable Credits to its Accounts as of
each Business Day, and (ii) to instruct the Bank to disburse money in
accordance with Article III.
2. The Fund shall use Access and the services available thereby
only for the purposes set forth in Article III and shall not sell, lease or
otherwise provide, directly or indirectly, Access or any of such services or
any portion thereof to any other person or entity, provided, however, that the
Fund may provide Access and the services available thereby to any transfer
agent for the Fund previously identified to the Bank. The Fund shall obtain
and maintain at its own cost and expense all equipment and services, including,
but not limited to communications services, necessary for it to utilize Access
and receive the services thereby, and the Bank shall not be responsible for the
reliability or availability of any such equipment or any services used in
connection with such Access.
(a) The Fund acknowledges that all data bases made
available as part of, or through Access, and any proprietary data, processes,
information and documentation (other than any such which are or become part of
the public domain or are legally required to be made available to the public
and other than any data or other information relating to the Fund's
Shareholders and
-15-
18
Share transactions covered by this Agreement) (collectively, the
"Information"), are the exclusive and confidential property of the Bank. The
Fund shall keep the Information confidential by using the same care and
discretion that the Fund uses with respect to its own confidential property and
trade secrets, and shall neither make nor permit any disclosure without the
express prior written consent of the Bank. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the
Fund or any transfer agent for the Fund shall have the right to disclose such
records and other information to any Federal or State authority with whom the
Fund or its Shares are registered, and the Fund or any transfer agent for the
Fund shall further have the right to exhibit any such records and information
to any person whenever it receives an opinion from its counsel that there is a
reasonable likelihood that the Fund or any transfer agent for the Fund will be
held liable for the failure to exhibit such records or information to such
person, provided, however, that in connection with any such disclosure the Fund
or any transfer agent for the Fund shall promptly notify the Bank that such
disclosure has been made or is to be made.
(b) Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason,
the Fund shall return to the Bank any and all copies of the Information (as
defined in (a) above and not including any data or other information relating
to the Fund's Shareholders and Share transactions) which are in the Fund's
possession or under its control, or distributed to third parties. The
provision of
-16-
19
this Article shall not affect the copyright status of any of the Information
which may be copyrighted and shall apply to all Information whether or not
copyrighted.
3. The Bank reserves the right to modify the Access from time to
time without notice to the Fund, provided, however, that the Bank shall give
the Fund prior notice of any modification that would cause the Fund's use of
Access or the services available thereby to be interrupted. The Fund agrees
not to modify or attempt to modify Access without the Bank's prior written
consent. The Fund acknowledges that Access is the property of the Bank and,
accordingly, the Fund agrees that any modifications to Access, whether by the
Fund or the Bank and whether with or without the Bank's consent, shall become
the property of the Bank.
4. Neither the Bank nor any manufacturers and suppliers it
utilizes or the Fund utilizes in obtaining Access makes any warranties or
representations, express or implied, in fact or in law, including but not
limited to warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.
Without limiting the generality of, and notwithstanding, the foregoing, the
Bank shall use reasonable efforts to promptly repair at its expense any bug or
defect in any software (other than operating system software) included in
Access upon being advised of such defect by the Fund.
-17-
20
5. The Fund will, and will cause its officers and employees to,
treat the user and authorization codes, passwords and authentication keys
applicable to Access with extreme care. The Bank is hereby irrevocably
authorized to act in accordance with and rely on Written Instructions received
by it through Access. The Fund acknowledges that it is its sole responsibility
to assure that only authorized persons use Access, and that the Bank shall not
be responsible nor liable therefor.
6. (a) Except as otherwise specifically provided in Section
6(b)(1) and 6(b)(2), the Bank shall have no liability for any losses, damages,
injuries, claims, costs or expenses of the Fund caused by the Bank in
connection with the Fund's use of Access except for money damages suffered as
the direct result of the negligence of the Bank in an amount not exceeding, in
the aggregate for all such losses, damages, injuries, claims, costs and
expenses of the Fund arising during any three month period, three times the
average total monthly charges paid by a Fund to the Bank for Access and
services under this Agreement during the 12 months preceding the three month
period in question, or such lesser number of months as the Fund has received
Access if the Fund has not received 12 months of Access, provided however, that
the Bank shall have no liability under this Section 6(a) if a Fund fails to
comply with the provisions of Section 6(d).
-18-
21
(b)(1) The Bank's sole liability (whether it acted with or
without negligence or with or without bad faith, willful misconduct or gross
negligence) for executing, misexecuting, or failing to execute, Written
Instructions as given by the Fund with respect to a transfer of funds after
such Written Instructions have been received by the Bank through Access and
duly acknowledged by the Bank shall, provided the Fund has complied with the
provisions of section 6(d), be (i) restoration of the principal amount
mistransferred but only to the extent that the Fund was damaged thereby, and
(ii) the lesser of (A) the Fund's actual pecuniary loss incurred by reason of
its loss of use of the mistransferred funds or the funds which were not
transferred, as the case may be, or (B) compensation for the loss of the use of
the mistransferred funds or the funds which were not transferred, as the case
may be, at a rate per annum equal to the average federal funds rate as computed
from the Federal Reserve Bank of New York's daily determination of the
effective rate for federal funds, for the period during which the Fund has lost
use of such funds. In no event shall the Bank have any liability for failing
to execute Written Instructions entered through Access unless such Written
Instructions are received by the Bank through the transfer module for the Fund.
For purposes of the preceding sentence, Written Instructions in the form of a
letter, memorandum, telegram, cable, telex or telecopy facsimile shall not be
deemed Written Instructions received through Access.
-19-
22
(b)(2) The dollar limitations of Section 6(a) shall not
apply with respect to (i) any willful misconduct or bad faith by the Bank or
any Bank employee, nor to (ii) any losses or damages suffered by the Fund as a
result of the Bank's including in Access any software (other than operating
system software purchased from third parties believed by the Bank in good faith
to be entitled to sell the same) in violation of the patent or proprietary
rights of others.
(c) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, it
is hereby agreed that in no event shall the Bank or any manufacturer or
supplier of its computer equipment, software or services available through
Access be responsible for any special, indirect, incidental or consequential
damages which the Fund may incur or experience arising out of or in connection
with Access and services hereunder, even if the Bank or such manufacturer or
supplier has been advised of the possibility of such damages nor shall the Bank
or any such manufacturer or supplier be liable for acts of God, machine or
computer breakdown or malfunction, interruption or malfunction of communication
facilities, labor difficulties or any other similar or dissimilar cause beyond
such person's reasonable control.
(d) The Fund directly or through its transfer agent shall
notify the Bank of any errors, omissions or interruptions in, or delay or
unavailability of, Access as promptly as
-20-
23
practicable, and in any event within one Business Day after the earliest of (i)
discovery thereof by the Fund (ii) the date discovery should have occurred
through the exercise of reasonable care by the Fund, including, without
limitation, review of notices, and (iii) in the case of any error, the date of
the earliest notice to the Fund which reflects such error.
ARTICLE VI
CONCERNING THE BANK

1. Notwithstanding any other provision elsewhere contained in
this Agreement, other than Section 6(b)(1) of Article V, the Bank shall not be
liable for any costs, expenses, damages, liabilities or claims (including
attorney's fees) incurred by the Fund, except those costs, expenses, damages,
liabilities or claims arising out of the Bank's own negligence, bad faith or
willful misconduct. All claims against the Bank hereunder shall be made by the
Fund as promptly as practicable, and in any event within 6 months from the date
discovery of the action or inaction on which such claim is based should have
occurred through the exercise of reasonable care by Fund, and shall include to
the extent reasonably practicable documentation evidencing such claim and loss.
2. The Bank shall have no obligation hereunder for costs,
expenses, damages, liabilities or claims, including attorney's fees, which are

-21-
24
inaction by the Federal Reserve wire transfer system or the New York Automated
Clearing House. Notwithstanding any other provision elsewhere contained in
this Agreement, in no event shall the Bank be liable to the Fund or any third
party for special, indirect or consequential damages, or lost profits or loss
of business, arising under or in connection with this Agreement, even if
previously informed of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the
form of action.
3. The Fund shall indemnify and exonerate, save and hold harmless
the Bank from and against any and all costs, expenses, damages, liabilities or
claims, including reasonable attorney's fees and expenses, which the Bank may
sustain or incur or which may be asserted against the Bank by reason of or as a
result of any action taken or omitted by the Bank in connection with its
performance under this Agreement, except as provided in Section 6(b)(1) of
Article V and those costs, expenses, damages, liabilities or claims arising out
of the Bank's own negligence, bad faith or wilful misconduct. This indemnity
shall be a continuing obligation of the Fund notwithstanding the termination of
this Agreement, or any Account. Provided, however, that in each instance where
indemnity by the Fund is provided for by this paragraph, the Bank shall give
the Fund notice, and reasonable opportunity to defend, any action, suit, or
claim giving rise to the Bank's right to indemnify by the Fund, in the name of
the Fund or the Bank or both; and provided further that the Bank will
-22-
25
in no case confess any action, suit or claim or make any compromise in any case
in which the Fund will be asked to indemnify Bank without the Fund's prior
written consent.
4. For the purposes of this Agreement the Bank shall be
conclusively presumed to have performed hereunder without negligence with
respect to any instance of any particular duty or responsibility if it has
performed such duty or responsibility, after excluding any nonperformance
attributable to circumstances beyond the Bank's control as further described in
paragraph 8 of this Article, at a level equal to, or better than, the level of
performance of such duty or responsibility by those institutions providing
identical or similar services to identical or similar clients. The
determination of a level of performance of a duty or responsibility shall be
based on a significant period of time, not to be less than thirty (30) days.
5. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, the Bank
shall in no event be under any obligation to inquire into, and shall not be
liable for:
(a) the due authority of any Authorized Person acting on
behalf of the Fund in connection with this Agreement;
(b) any disbursement directed by the Fund, regardless of
the purpose therefor;
-23-
26
(c) any claims, liens, attachments, stays or stop orders

endorsement, on any check deposited in any Account, or whether such signature
is a forgery, other than the signature of the drawer of any check drawn on the
Bank.
6. Notwithstanding any other provision elsewhere contained in
this Agreement, the Fund agrees that the Bank's sole liability on late payments
shall be to pay an additional amount calculated at a rate per annum equal to
the average federal funds rate as computed from the Federal Reserve Bank of New
York's daily determination at the effective rate for federal funds for each day
until payment is made, but not to exceed in any event thirty (30) days.
-24-
27
7. The Bank shall be entitled to rely upon any Written or Oral
Instructions received by the Bank. The Fund agrees to forward to the Bank
Written Instructions confirming Oral Instructions in such manner so that such
Written Instructions are received by the Bank by the close of business of the
same day that such Oral Instructions are given to the Bank. The Fund agrees
that the fact that such confirming Written Instructions are not timely received
or that contrary Written Instructions are received by the Bank shall in no way
affect the validity or enforceability of the transactions previously
authorized.
8. The Bank shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or
delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of
or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its control,
including without limitation, or by reason of acts of God, earthquakes, fires,
floods, wars, civil or military disturbances, sabotage, epidemics, riots,
interruptions or loss of transportation, mechanical breakdowns, interruption or
loss of communications, military authority, governmental actions, strikes or
inability to obtain material, equipment or transportation.
9. The Bank shall have no duties or responsibilities except such
duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement and
Schedules I and II hereto. The Bank's duties and responsibilities hereunder

limited to Federal Reserve Regulation CC and the Operating Rules of the New
York Automated, and the Bank shall have no obligation to take actions which in
the reasonable opinion of the Bank are either inconsistent with, or prejudice
or impair the Bank's rights under, any such laws, regulations and rules. No
covenant or obligation shall be implied in this Agreement against the Bank.
10. At any time the Bank may apply to an officer of the Fund for
Written Instructions with respect to any matter arising in connection with the
Bank's duties and obligations with respect to any Account, and the Bank shall
not be liable for any action taken or permitted by it in good faith in
accordance with such Written Instructions. Such application for Written
Instructions may, at the option of the Bank, set forth in writing any action
proposed to be taken or omitted by the Bank with respect to its duties or
obligations under this Agreement and the date on and/or after which such action
shall be taken, and the Bank shall not be liable for any action taken or
omitted in accordance with a proposal included in any such application on or
after the date specified therein (which shall be at least 5 days after the date
of such Fund's receipt of such application) unless, prior to taking or omitting
any such action, the Bank has received Written Instructions in response to such
application specifying the action to be taken or omitted. The Bank may apply
for and obtain
-26-

the advice and opinion of counsel to the Fund or of its own counsel, at its own
expense, and shall be fully protected with respect to anything done or omitted
by it in good faith in conformity with such advice or opinion.
11. (a) The Bank may employ agents or attorneys-in-fact for
non-essential services (e.g., without limitation, messengers). The Bank shall
not be liable to the Fund for any loss or expense arising out of, or in
connection with, the actions or omissions to act of such agent or
attorney-in-fact so long as the Bank acts in good faith and without negligence
or wilful misconduct in the selection of such agent or attorney-in-fact. The
Bank shall have no liability or responsibility whatsoever if such agent or
attorney-in-fact shall have been selected by such Fund. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, nothing contained in this paragraph shall obligate the Bank to
employ any agent or attorney-in-fact.
(b) The Bank may delegate any of its duties or
obligations hereunder to any person or entity it selects provided that the Bank
shall be responsible for the actions or omissions to act of any such delegee as
if it itself had so acted or omitted to act. The Bank agrees that if it
delegates essential services that it will notify the Fund in writing of such
delegation.
-27-

(a) its out-of-pocket expenses, and (b) the monthly fees and compensation set
forth on Schedules I and II attached hereto, (c) any negative Calendar Month
Earnings Credits, and such other amounts as may be mutually agreed upon from
time to time. The Bank shall provide the Fund with a monthly activity analysis

average ledger balances, and all fees owing for such month. Such expenses,
fees, compensation and negative Calendar Month Earnings Credits as are

period.
-28-
31
(b) Such out-of-pocket expenses, fees and compensation do
not include costs relating to each Fund's Access, such as telephone, telex or
other communications charges. All such costs shall be borne and paid by the
Fund.
13. Any positive Calendar Month Earnings Credit for a calendar
month shall be applied only as follows and only in the specified order:
(a) First, applied against such compensation, fees, and
negative Calendar Month Earnings Credits, but not out-of-pocket expenses, paid
or payable by the Fund to the Bank under this Agreement for any prior month
within the same calendar quarter;
(b) Second, applied against such compensation and fees,
but not out-of-pocket expenses, payable by the Fund to the Bank under this
Agreement for such month;
(c) Third, applied against such compensation, fees, and
negative Calendar Month Earnings Credits, but not out-of-pocket expenses,
payable by the Fund to the Bank under this Agreement for any subsequent month
in the same calendar quarter.
(d) Except as provided in preceding clauses (a), (b), or

-29-
32
applied to any month other than the month in which it was earned. Nor may any
Calendar Month Earnings Credit be transferred to, or utilized by, any other
person or entity. The portion, if any, of any Calendar Month Earnings Credit
not used by a Fund may be carried, but only forward, and only to the next
succeeding calendar quarter, provided, however, that in no event may any
Calendar Month Earnings Credit, including those earned during the fourth

or under any other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, or
allowed it by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time
to time. No failure on the part of the Bank or the Fund to exercise, and no
delay in exercising, any right will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any
single or partial exercise by the Bank or the Fund of any right preclude any
other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.
5. In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement
shall be invalid, illegal or unreasonable in any jurisdiction, the validity,
legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall
not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and if any provision is
inapplicable to any person or circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain
applicable to all other persons and circumstances.
-32-
35

arising hereunder and hereby waives its right to trial by jury.
8. The provisions of this Agreement are intended to benefit only
the Bank and the Fund and their respective permitted successors and assigns,
and no right shall be granted to any other person by virtue of this Agreement.
9. This Agreement shall extend to and shall be binding upon the
parties hereto, and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however,
that this Agreement shall not be assignable by either party without the written

information of the Fund records and other information relative to the Fund's
prior and present Shareholders from time to time, and will not use such records
and information for purposes other than performance of its responsibilities and
duties hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Bank shall have the right
to disclose such records and other information to any Federal or State
authority with whom the Fund or its Shares are registered, and the Bank shall
further have the right to exhibit any such records and information to any
person whenever it receives an opinion from its counsel that there is a
reasonable likelihood that the Bank will be held liable for the failure to
exhibit such records or information to such person, provided, however, that in
connection with any such disclosure the Bank shall promptly notify the Fund
that such disclosure has been made or is to be made.
12. The books and records pertaining to the Fund which are

reimburse the Bank its expense of providing such copies. Upon reasonable
request of the Fund, the Bank shall provide in hard copy or on micro-film,
whichever the Bank elects, any records included in any such delivery which are
maintained, and the Fund shall reimburse the Bank for its expenses of providing
such hard copy or micro-film.

supersedes all prior written agreements, discussions and understandings of
every kind and nature between them relating to the subject matter hereof.
-35-
38
15. This Agreement has been entered into by the Fund in order to

and Shareholders in connection with Share purchase and redemption transactions
and in connection with the payment of Shareholder dividends and distributions
payable by the Fund; and (ii) facilitate such transactions through the
establishment of the overdraft and order-entry procedures set forth herein.
The Fund contemplates that the only persons who will be authorized by the Fund
to give Written Instructions to the Bank for disbursement of money credited to
an Account for any purpose other than to transfer such money to the Fund's
account under the Custody Agreement will be employees of the Fund's transfer
agent, who will be acting in connection with the transfer agent's cash
disbursement responsibilities for the Fund. The Fund also expects that the
Bank will be instructed to transfer any net proceeds in the Accounts that are
payable to the Fund in connection with purchases of Shares to the Fund's
account under its Custody Agreement with the Bank on the same day said
purchases are executed.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to
be executed by their respective corporate officers,

thereunto duly authorized, as of the day and year first above written.
