NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained,

ARTICLE 1
TERMS OF APPOINTMENT; DUTIES OF THE TRANSFER AGENT
1.01 Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, the
Fund hereby employs and appoints the Transfer Agent to act as, and the Transfer
Agent agrees to act as, its transfer agent for the authorized and issued shares
of beneficial interest of the Fund representing interests in the retail and
institutional share classes of each of the respective Portfolios ("Shares"),

and statement of additional information (the "Prospectus") of the Fund on
behalf of the Portfolios.
1.02 The Transfer Agent agrees that it will perform the following services:
(a) The Transfer Agent shall, in accordance with procedures established from
time to time by agreement between the Fund on behalf of each of the Portfolios,
as applicable, and the Transfer Agent:

3
(iii) receive for acceptance redemption requests and redemption directions and
deliver the appropriate documentation thereof to the Custodian;
