and agreements hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as

vote by the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund, and provided

liability to the Fund on account of any actions or omissions of

release the sub-custodian from any responsibility or liability
unless mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing. With
respect to foreign securities and other assets of the Fund held

connection with receipt of income or other payments with
respect to domestic securities of the Fund held by it and in

weekends) prior to the time such action must be taken under
the terms of the tender, exchange offer, or other similar
transaction, and it will be the responsibility of the
Custodian to timely transmit to the appropriate person(s)

contracts and options on futures contracts, including
domestic securities deposited and/or maintained in a
Securities System, relating to the services provided by the

sufficient scope and in sufficient detail, as may reasonably
be required by the Fund to provide reasonable assurance that
any material inadequacies existing or arising since the
prior examination would be disclosed by such examination.

disclosed and, if there are no such inadequacies, the
reports shall so state.
3. Duties of the Custodian with Respect to Property of the Fund
Held Outside of the United States
3.1 Appointment of Foreign Sub-Custodians. The Custodian
is authorized and instructed to employ Chase Manhattan Bank,
N.A, ("Chase") as sub-custodian for the Fund's securities,
cash and other assets maintained outside of the United
States ("foreign assets") all as described in the
Subcustodian Agreement between the Custodian and Chase.
Upon receipt of "Proper Instructions", together with a
certified resolution of the Fund's Board of
Directors/Trustees, the Custodian and the Fund may agree to
designate additional proper institutions and foreign
securities depositories to act as sub-custodians of the
Fund's foreign assets. Upon receipt of Proper Instructions
from the Fund, the Custodian shall cease the employment of
any one or more of such sub-custodians for maintaining
custody of the Fund's foreign assets.
3.2 Assets to be Held. The Custodian shall limit the
foreign assets maintained in the custody of foreign sub-
custodians to foreign assets specified under the terms of
the Subcustodian Agreement between the Custodian and Chase.
3.3 Foreign Securities Depositories. Except as may
otherwise be agreed upon in writing by the Custodian and the
Fund, foreign assets of the Fund shall be maintained in
foreign securities depositories only through arrangements
implemented by the banking institutions serving as sub-
custodians pursuant to the terms hereof.
3.4 Segregation of Securities. The Custodian shall
identify on its books as belonging to the Fund, the foreign
assets of the Fund held by Chase and by each foreign sub-
custodian.
3.5 Access of Independent Accountants of the Fund. Upon
request of the Fund, the Custodian will use its best efforts
(subject to applicable law) to arrange for the independent
accountants, officers or other representatives of the Fund
PAGE 17
or the Custodian to be afforded access to the books and
records of Chase and any banking or other institution
employed as a sub-custodian for the Fund by Chase or the
Custodian insofar as such books and records relate to the
performance of Chase or such banking or other institution
under any agreement with the Custodian or Chase. Upon
request of the Fund, the Custodian shall furnish to the Fund
such reports (or portions thereof) of Chase's external
auditors as are available to the Custodian and which relate
directly to Chase's system of internal accounting controls
applicable to Chase's duties as a subcustodian or which
relate to the internal accounting controls of any
subcustodian employed by Chase with respect to foreign
assets of the Fund.
3.6 Reports by Custodian. The Custodian will supply to the
Fund from time to time, as mutually agreed upon, statements
in respect of the foreign assets of the Fund held pursuant
to the terms of the Subcustodian Agreement between the
Custodian and Chase, including but not limited, to an
identification of entities having possession of the Fund's
foreign assets and advices or notifications of any transfers
of foreign assets to or from each custodial account
maintained by any sub-custodian on behalf of the Fund
indicating, as to foreign assets acquired for the Fund, the
identity of the entity having physical possession of such
foreign assets.
3.7 Transactions in Foreign Assets of the Fund. All
transactions with respect to the Fund's foreign assets shall
be in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of the
Subcustodian Agreement between Chase and the Custodian.
3.8 Responsibility of Custodian, Sub-Custodian, and Fund.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Custodian
Contract, the Custodian shall not be liable to the Fund for
any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim arising
out of or in connection with the maintenance of custody of
the Fund's foreign assets by Chase or by any other banking
institution or securities depository employed pursuant to
the terms of any Subcustodian Agreement between Chase and
the Custodian, except that the Custodian shall be liable for
any such loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim to
the extent provided in the Subcustodian Agreement between
Chase and the Custodian or attributable to the failure of
the Custodian to exercise the standard of care set forth in
Article 12 hereof in the performance of its duties under
this Contract or such Subcustodian Agreement. At the
election of the Fund, the Fund shall be entitled to be
subrogated to the rights of the Custodian under the
Subcustodian Agreement with respect to any claims arising
PAGE 18
thereunder against Chase or any other banking institution or
securities depository employed by Chase if and to the extent
that the Fund has not been made whole therefor. As between
the Fund and the Custodian, the Fund shall be solely
responsible to assure that the maintenance of foreign
securities and cash pursuant to the terms of the
Subcustodian Agreement complies with all applicable rules,
regulations, interpretations and orders of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, and the Custodian assumes no
responsibility and makes no representations as to such
compliance.
3.9 Monitoring Responsibilities. With respect to the
Fund's foreign assets, the Custodian shall furnish annually
to the Fund, during the month of June, information
concerning the sub-custodians employed by the Custodian.
Such information shall be similar in kind and scope to that
furnished to the Fund in connection with the initial
approval of this Contract. In addition, the Custodian will
promptly inform the Fund in the event that the Custodian
learns of a material adverse change in the financial
condition of a sub-custodian.
3.10 Branches of U.S. Banks. Except as otherwise set forth
in this Contract, the provisions of this Article 3 shall not
apply where the custody of the Fund's assets is maintained
in a foreign branch of a banking institution which is a
"bank" as defined by Section 2(a)(5) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 which meets the qualification set forth
in Section 26(a) of said Act. The appointment of any such
branch as a sub-custodian shall be governed by Section 1 of
this Contract.
4. Payments for Repurchases or Redemptions and Sales of Shares
of the Fund
From such funds as may be available for the purpose but
subject to the limitations of the Governing Documents of the Fund
and any applicable votes of the Board of Directors/Trustees of
the Fund pursuant thereto, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of
instructions from the Transfer Agent, make funds available for
payment to holders of Shares who have delivered to the Transfer
Agent a request for redemption or repurchase of their Shares. In
connection with the redemption or repurchase of Shares of the
Fund, the Custodian is authorized upon receipt of instructions
from the Transfer Agent to wire funds to or through a commercial
bank designated by the redeeming shareholder. In connection with
the redemption or repurchase of Shares of the Fund, the Custodian
shall honor checks drawn on the Custodian by a holder of Shares,
which checks have been furnished by the Fund to the holder of
Shares, when presented to the Custodian in accordance with such
procedures and controls as are mutually agreed upon from time to
time between the Fund and the Custodian.
PAGE 19
The Custodian shall receive from the distributor for the
Fund's Shares or from the Transfer Agent of the Fund and deposit
as received into the Fund's account such payments as are received
for Shares of the Fund issued or sold from time to time by the
Fund. The Custodian will provide timely notification to the Fund
and the Transfer Agent of any receipt by it of payments for
Shares of the Fund.
5. Proper Instructions
Proper Instructions as used herein means a writing signed or
initialled by one or more person or persons as the Board of
Directors/Trustees shall have from time to time authorized. Each
such writing shall set forth the specific transaction or type of
transaction involved, including a specific statement of the
purpose for which such action is requested, or shall be a blanket
instruction authorizing specific transactions of a repeated or
routine nature. Oral instructions will be considered Proper
Instructions if the Custodian reasonably believes them to have
been given by a person authorized to give such instructions with
respect to the transaction involved. The Fund shall cause all
oral instructions to be confirmed in writing. Upon receipt of a
certificate of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary as to the
authorization by the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund
accompanied by a detailed description of procedures approved by
the Board of Directors/Trustees, Proper Instructions may include
communications effected directly between electro-mechanical or
electronic devices provided that the Board of Directors/Trustees
and the Custodian are satisfied that such procedures afford
adequate safeguards for the Fund's assets.
6. Actions Permitted without Express Authority
The Custodian may in its discretion, without express
authority from the Fund:
1) make payments to itself or others for minor
expenses of handling securities or other similar
items relating to its duties under this Contract,
provided that all such payments shall be accounted
for to the Fund;
2) surrender securities in temporary form for
securities in definitive form;
3) endorse for collection, in the name of the Fund,
checks, drafts and other negotiable instruments on
the same day as received; and
4) in general, attend to all non-discretionary
details in connection with the sale, exchange,
substitution, purchase, transfer and other
dealings with the securities and property of the
Fund except as otherwise directed by the Board of
Directors/Trustees of the Fund.
PAGE 20
7. Evidence of Authority, Reliance on Documents
The Custodian shall be protected in acting upon any
instructions, notice, request, consent, certificate or other
instrument or paper reasonably and in good faith believed by it
to be genuine and to have been properly executed by or on behalf
of the Fund in accordance with Article 5 hereof. The Custodian
may receive and accept a certified copy of a vote of the Board of
Directors/Trustees of the Fund as conclusive evidence (a) of the
authority of any person to act in accordance with such vote or
(b) of any determination or of any action by the Board of
Directors/Trustees pursuant to the Governing Documents of the
Fund as described in such vote, and such vote may be considered
as in full force and effect until receipt by the Custodian of
written notice to the contrary. So long as and to the extent
that it is in the exercise of the standard of care set forth in
Article 12 hereof, the Custodian shall not be responsible for the
title, validity or genuineness of any property or evidence of
title thereto received by it or delivered by it pursuant to this
Contract and shall be held harmless in acting upon any notice,
request, consent, certificate or other instrument reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and to be signed by the proper party
or parties.
8. Duties of Custodian with Respect to the Books of Account and
Calculation of Net Asset Value and Net Income
The Custodian shall cooperate with and supply necessary
information to the person or persons appointed by the Board of
Directors/Trustees of the Fund to keep the books of account of
the Fund and/or compute the net asset value per share of the
outstanding shares of the Fund or, if directed in writing to do
so by the Fund, shall itself keep such books of account and/or
compute such net asset value per share. If so directed, the
Custodian shall also calculate daily the net income of the Fund
as described in the Fund's currently effective prospectus and
shall advise the Fund and the Transfer Agent daily of the total
amounts of such net income and, if instructed in writing by an
officer of the Fund to do so, shall advise the Transfer Agent
periodically of the division of such net income among its various
components. The calculations of the net asset value per share
and the daily income of the Fund shall be made at the time or
times and in the manner described from time to time in the Fund's
currently effective prospectus.
9. Records, Inventory
The Custodian shall create and maintain all records relating
to its activities and obligations under this Contract in such
manner as will meet the obligations of the Fund under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, with particular attention to
Section 31 thereof and Rules 31a-1 and 31a-2 thereunder,
applicable federal and state tax laws and any other law or
administrative rules or procedures which may be applicable to the
PAGE 21
Fund. All such records shall be the property of the Fund and
shall at all times during the regular business hours of the
Custodian be open for inspection and audit by duly authorized
officers, employees or agents of the Fund and employees and
agents of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and, in the
event of termination of this Agreement, will be delivered in
accordance with Section 14 hereof. The Custodian shall, at the
Fund's request, supply the Fund with a tabulation of securities
owned by the Fund and held by the Custodian and shall, when
requested to do so by the Fund and for such compensation as shall
be agreed upon between the Fund and the Custodian, include
certificate numbers in such tabulations. The Custodian shall
conduct a periodic inventory of all securities and other property
subject to this Agreement and provide to the Fund a periodic
reconciliation of the vaulted position of the Fund to the
appraised position of the Fund. The Custodian will promptly
report to the Fund the results of the reconciliation, indicating
any shortages or discrepancies uncovered thereby, and take
appropriate action to remedy any such shortages or discrepancies.
10. Opinion of Fund's Independent Accountant
The Custodian shall cooperate with the Fund's independent
public accountants in connection with the annual and other audits
of the books and records of the Fund and take all reasonable
action, as the Fund may from time to time request, to provide
from year to year the necessary information to such accountants
for the expression of their opinion without any qualification as
to the scope of their examination, including but not limited to,
any opinion in connection with the preparation of the Fund's Form
N-lA, and Form N-SAR or other annual reports to the Securities
and Exchange Commission and with respect to any other
requirements of such Commission.
11. Compensation of Custodian
The Custodian shall be entitled to reasonable compensation
for its services and expenses as Custodian, as agreed upon from
time to time between the Fund and the Custodian.
12. Responsibility of Custodian
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the Custodian shall be held to the exercise of reasonable care in
carrying out the provisions of this Contract, but shall be kept
indemnified by and shall be without liability to the Fund for any
action taken or omitted by it in good faith without negligence.
In order for the indemnification provision contained in this
Section to apply, it is understood that if in any case the Fund
may be asked to indemnify or save the Custodian harmless, the
Fund shall be fully and promptly advised of all pertinent facts
concerning the situation in question, and it is further
understood that the Custodian will use all reasonable care to
identify and notify the Fund promptly concerning any situation
PAGE 22
which presents or appears likely to present the probability of
such a claim for indemnification against the Fund. The Fund,
shall have the option to defend the Custodian against any claim
which may be the subject of this indemnification, and in the
event that the Fund so elects, it will so notify the Custodian,
and thereupon the Fund shall take over complete defense of the
claim and the Custodian shall in such situation initiate no
further legal or other expenses for which it shall seek
indemnification under this Section. The Custodian shall in no
case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in
which the Fund will be asked to indemnify the Custodian except
with the Fund's prior written consent. Nothing herein shall be
construed to limit any right or cause of action on the part of
the Custodian under this Contract which is independent of any
right or cause of action on the part of the Fund. The Custodian
shall be entitled to rely on and may act upon advice of counsel
(who may be counsel for the Fund or such other counsel as may be
agreed to by the parties) on all matters, and shall be without
liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted pursuant to
such advice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the responsibility
of the Custodian with respect to redemptions effected by check
shall be in accordance with a separate Agreement entered into
between the Custodian and the Fund.
If the Fund requires the Custodian to take any action with
respect to securities, which action involves the payment of money
or which action may, in the opinion of the Custodian, result in
the Custodian or its nominee assigned to the Fund being liable
for the payment of money or incurring liability of some other
form, the Fund, as a prerequisite to requiring the Custodian to
take such action, shall provide indemnity to the Custodian in an
amount and form satisfactory to it.
If the Fund requires the Custodian to advance cash or
securities for any purpose or in the event that the Custodian or
its nominee shall incur or be assessed any taxes, charges,
expenses, assessments, claims or liabilities in connection with
the performance of this Contract, except such as may arise from
its or its nominee's own negligent action, negligent failure to
act or willful misconduct, any property at any time held for the
account of the Fund shall be security therefor and should the
Fund fail to repay the Custodian promptly, the Custodian shall be
entitled to utilize available cash and to dispose of the Fund's
assets to the extent necessary to obtain reimbursement, provided
that the Custodian gives the Fund reasonable notice to repay such
cash or securities advanced, however, such notice shall not
preclude the Custodian's right to assert any lien under this
provision.
13. Effective Period, Termination and Amendment
This Contract shall become effective as of its execution,
shall continue in full force and effect until terminated as
PAGE 23
hereinafter provided, may be amended at any time by mutual
agreement of the parties hereto and may be terminated by either
party by an instrument in writing delivered or mailed, postage
prepaid to the other party, such termination to take effect not
sooner than sixty (60) days after the date of such delivery or
mailing in the case of a termination by the Fund, and not sooner
than 180 days after the date of such delivery or mailing in the
case of a termination by the Custodian; provided, however that
the Custodian shall not act under Section 2.10 hereof in the
absence of receipt of an initial certificate of the Secretary or
an Assistant Secretary that the Board of Directors/Trustees of
the Fund has approved the initial use of a particular Securities
System and the receipt of an annual certificate of the Secretary
or an Assistant Secretary that the Board of Directors/Trustees
has reviewed the use by the Fund of such Securities System, as
required in each case by Rule 17f-4 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended and that the Custodian shall not act
under Section 2.11 hereof in the absence of receipt of an initial
certificate of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary that the
Board of Directors/Trustees has approved the initial use of the
Direct Paper System and the receipt of an annual certificate of
the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary that the Board of
Directors/Trustees has reviewed the use by the Fund of the Direct
Paper System; provided further, however, that the Fund shall not
amend or terminate this Contract in contravention of any
applicable federal or state regulations, or any provision of the
Governing Documents of the Fund, and further provided, that the
Fund may at any time by action of its Board of Directors/Trustees
(i) substitute another bank or trust company for the Custodian by
giving notice as described above to the Custodian, or (ii)
immediately terminate this Contract in the event of the
appointment of a conservator or receiver for the Custodian by the
Comptroller of the Currency or upon the happening of a like event
at the direction of an appropriate regulatory agency or court of
competent jurisdiction.
Upon termination of the Contract, the Fund shall pay to the
Custodian such compensation as may be due as of the date of such
termination and shall likewise reimburse the Custodian for its
costs, expenses and disbursements, provided that the Custodian
shall not incur any costs, expenses or disbursements specifically
in connection with such termination unless it has received prior
approval from the Fund, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
14. Successor Custodian
If a successor custodian shall be appointed by the Board of
Directors/Trustees of the Fund, the Custodian shall, upon
termination, deliver to such successor custodian at the office of
the Custodian, duly endorsed and in the form for transfer, all
securities, funds and other properties then held by it hereunder
PAGE 24
and shall transfer to an account of the successor custodian all
of the Fund's securities held in a Securities System. The
Custodian shall also use its best efforts to assure that the
successor custodian will continue any subcustodian agreement
entered into by the Custodian and any subcustodian on behalf of
the Fund.
If no such successor custodian shall be appointed, the
Custodian shall, in like manner, upon receipt of a certified copy
of a vote of the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund, deliver
at the office of the Custodian and transfer such securities,
funds and other properties in accordance with such vote.
In the event that no written order designating a successor
custodian or certified copy of a vote of the Board of
Directors/Trustees shall have been delivered to the Custodian on
or before the date when such termination shall become effective,
then the Custodian shall have the right to deliver to a bank
or trust company, which is a "bank" as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, doing business in Boston, Massachusetts, of
its own selection, having an aggregate capital, surplus, and
undivided profits, as shown by its last published report, of not
less than $25,000,000, all securities, funds and other properties
held by the Custodian and all instruments held by the Custodian
relative thereto and all other property held by it under this
Contract and to transfer to an account of such successor
custodian all of the Fund's securities held in any Securities
System. Thereafter, such bank or trust company shall be the
successor of the Custodian under this Contract.
In the event that securities, funds and other properties
remain in the possession of the Custodian after the date of
termination hereof owing to failure of the Fund to procure the
certified copy of the vote referred to or of the Board of
Directors/Trustees to appoint a successor custodian, the
Custodian shall be entitled to fair compensation for its services
during such period as the Custodian retains possession of such
securities, funds and other properties and the provisions of this
Contract relating to the duties and obligations of the Custodian
shall remain in full force and effect. If while this Contract is
in force the Fund shall be liquidated pursuant to law, the
Custodian shall distribute, either in cash or (if the Fund so
orders) in the portfolio securities and other assets of the Fund,
pro rata among the holders of shares of the Fund as certified by
the Transfer Agent, the property of the Fund which remains after
paying or satisfying all expenses and liabilities of the Fund.
Section 12 hereof shall survive any termination of this Contract.
PAGE 25
15. Interpretive and Additional Provisions

provisions interpretive of or in addition to the provisions of
this Contract as may in their joint opinion be consistent with
the general tenor of this Contract. Any such interpretive or
additional provisions shall be in a writing signed by both
parties and shall be annexed hereto, provided that no such
interpretive or additional provisions shall contravene any
applicable federal or state regulations or any provision of the
Governing Documents of the Fund. No interpretive or additional
provisions made as provided in the preceding sentence shall be
deemed to be an amendment of this Contract.

17. Bond
The Custodian shall, at all times, maintain a bond in such
form and amount as is acceptable to the Fund which shall be
issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company authorized to do
business in the place where such bond is issued against larceny
and embezzlement, covering each officer and employee of the
Custodian who may, singly or jointly with others, have access to
securities or funds of the Fund, either directly or through
authority to receive and carry out any certificate instruction,
order request, note or other instrument required or permitted by
this Agreement. The Custodian agrees that it shall not cancel,
terminate or modify such bond insofar as it adversely affects the
Fund except after written notice given to the Fund not less than
10 days prior to the effective date of such cancellation,
termination or modification. The Custodian shall furnish to the
Fund a copy of each such bond and each amendment thereto.
18. Confidentiality
The Custodian agrees to treat all records and other
information relative to the Fund and its prior, present or future
shareholders as confidential, and the Custodian, on behalf of
itself and its employees, agrees to keep confidential all such
information except, after prior notification to and approval in
writing by the Fund, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld and may not be withheld where the Custodian may be
exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to
comply, when requested to divulge such information by duly
constituted authorities, or when so requested by the Fund.
PAGE 26
19. Exemption from Liens
The securities and other assets held by the Custodian for
the Fund shall be subject to no lien or charge of any kind in
favor of the Custodian or any person claiming through the
Custodian, but nothing herein shall be deemed to deprive the
Custodian of its right to invoke any and all remedies available
at law or equity to collect amounts due it under this Agreement.
Neither the Custodian nor any sub-custodian appointed pursuant to
Section 1 hereof shall have any power or authority to assign,
hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of any securities held
by it for the Fund, except upon the direction of the Fund, duly
given as herein provided, and only for the account of the Fund.
20. Massachusetts Law to Apply

interpreted under and in accordance with laws of The Commonwealth

Data Access Services solely for the benefit of the Fund, and

provide accounting services under the terms of the Custodian
Contract.
h. Inspections. State Street shall have the right
to inspect the use of the System and the Data Access Services by
the Fund, the Fund Accountants and the Auditor to ensure
compliance with this Agreement. The on-site inspections shall be
upon prior written notice to Fund, the Fund Accountants and the

not to result in an unreasonable disruption of the Fund's or the
Fund Accountants' or the Auditor respective businesses.
4. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
a. Proprietary Information. The Fund acknowledges
and State Street represents that the System and the databases,
computer programs, screen formats, report formats, interactive
