23

16. Anti-Money Laundering. To the extent the other provisions of this Agreement require PFPC to establish, maintain and monitor accounts of investors in the GE Fund Products consistent with securities laws and other statutes, PFPC shall perform reasonable actions necessary to help the GE Fund Products be in compliance with Section 352 of the USA PATRIOT Act, as follows: In this regard, PFPC shall: (a) establish and implement written internal policies, procedures and controls reasonably designed to help prevent the GE Fund Products from being used to launder money or finance terrorist activities (the “PFPC AML Program”); (b) provide for independent testing, by an employee who is not responsible for the operation of the PFPC AML Program, or by an outside party, of PFPC’s established policies and procedures as described in subsection (a) above; (c) designate a person or persons responsible for implementing and monitoring the operation and internal controls of the PFPC AML Program; and (d) provide ongoing training of PFPC personnel relating to the PFPC AML Program . Upon the reasonable request of the GE Fund Products, PFPC shall provide to the GE Fund Products: (x) a copy of the PFPC AML Program written policies and procedures (it being understood such information is to be considered confidential and treated as such, and afforded all protections provided to confidential information under this Agreement); (y) at the option of PFPC, a copy of a written assessment or report prepared by the party performing the independent testing for compliance, or a summary thereof, or a certification that the findings of the independent party are satisfactory; and (z) a summary of the PFPC AML Program training provided for appropriate personnel. PFPC agrees to permit inspections relating to the PFPC AML Program by U.S. Federal departments or regulatory agencies with appropriate jurisdiction and to make available to examiners from such departments or regulatory agencies such information and records relating to the PFPC AML Program as such examiners shall reasonably request. Without limiting or

24

expanding the foregoing, the parties agree the provisions herein do not apply to Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act (or other sections other than Section 352) or regulations promulgated thereunder.

17. Customer Identification Program (“CIP”) Services.

(a) To help the GE Fund Products comply with their Customer Identification Programs (which the GE Fund Products are required to have under regulations issued under Section 326 of the USA PATRIOT Act) PFPC will do the following:

(i) Implement procedures under which new accounts in the GE Fund Products are not established unless PFPC has obtained the name, date of birth (for natural persons only), address and government-issued identification number (collectively, the “Data Elements”) for each corresponding Customer (as defined in 31 CFR 103.131).

(ii) Use collected Data Elements to attempt to reasonably verify the identity of each new Customer promptly before or after each corresponding new account is opened. Methods may consist of non-documentary methods (for which PFPC may use unaffiliated information vendors to assist with such verifications) and documentary methods (as permitted by 31 CFR 103.131), and may include procedures under which PFPC personnel perform enhanced due diligence to verify the identities of Customers the identities of whom were not successfully verified through the first-level (which will typically be reliance on results obtained from an information vendor) verification process(es).

(iii) Record the Data Elements and maintain records relating to verification of new Customers consistent with 31 CFR 103.131(b)(3).

(iv) Regularly report to the GE Fund Products about measures taken under (i)-(iii) above.

(v) If PFPC provides services by which prospective Customers may subscribe for Shares via the Internet or telephone, work with the GE Fund Products to notify prospective Customers, consistent with 31 CFR 103.(b)(5), about the GE Fund Products’ CIP.

(vi) Set forth on a separate fee schedule compensation amounts due for these CIP services.

25

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, and without expanding the scope of the express language above, PFPC need not collect the Data Elements for (or verify) prospective customer (or accounts) beyond the requirements of relevant regulation (for example, PFPC will not verify customers opening accounts through NSCC) and PFPC need not perform any task that need not be performed for the fund to be in compliance with relevant regulation.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, PFPC need not perform any of the steps described above with respect to persons purchasing Shares via exchange privileges.

18. Representations and Warranties.

(v) with respect to the Funds, all outstanding Shares are validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable and when Shares are hereafter issued in accordance with the terms of the Funds’ Certificates of Trust and their prospectuses with respect to each Series, such Shares shall be validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable.

(c) Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, PFPC hereby disclaims all representations and warranties, express or implied, made to the GE Fund Products or any other person, including, without limitation, any warranties regarding quality, suitability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or otherwise (irrespective of any course of dealing, custom or usage of trade), of any services or any goods provided incidental to services provided under this Agreement. PFPC disclaims any warranty of title or non-infringement except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

19. Duration and Termination.

(a) This Agreement shall be effective on the date first written above and unless terminated pursuant to its terms shall continue for a period of five (5) years (the “Initial Term”).

(b) Upon the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall remain in effect until written termination notice is given (the “Renewal Term”), with or without cause, by PFPC upon at least one hundred eighty (180) days’ prior written notice to the GE Fund Products or by the GE Fund Products upon at least ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to PFPC.

27

(c) In the event of termination of this Agreement by the GE Fund Products for reasons other than as a result of PFPC’s or its affiliates’ Material Breach, all good faith and reasonable expenses associated with movement of records and materials and conversion thereof to a successor transfer agent will be borne by the GE Fund Products and paid to PFPC prior to any such conversion; provided, however, PFPC agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to facilitate the transfer of records and other information to a successor transfer agent.

(d) If a party hereto is deemed to have engaged in a Material Breach (as defined below in this subsection) of its duties and obligations hereunder (a “Defaulting Party”) the other party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may give written notice thereof to the Defaulting Party, and if such material breach shall not have been remedied within thirty (30) days after such written notice is given, then the Non-Defaulting Party may terminate this Agreement by giving thirty (30) days’ written notice of such termination to the Defaulting Party. In all cases, termination by the Non-Defaulting Party shall not constitute a waiver by the Non-Defaulting Party of any other rights it might have under this Agreement or otherwise against the Defaulting Party. For purposes of this Section 19, “Material Breach” is defined as (i) a material breach by the relevant party of any representations or warranties in this Agreement, (ii) a material breach of any duties and obligations to be performed by the relevant party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or (iii) the willful misconduct, bad faith, negligence of or the reckless disregard by the relevant party with respect to any duties and obligations to be performed by that party pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

28

(e) Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, should a merger, acquisition, change in control, re-structuring, re-organization or any other decision involving a GE Fund Product or any affiliate (as defined under the 0000 Xxx) of the GE Fund Product (which may include a decision by a GE Fund Product to terminate this Agreement as provided for in this Section 19) result in the GE Fund Product’s desire to cease to use PFPC as the provider of any of the services set forth hereunder in favor of another service provider prior to the expiration of the then current Initial or Renewal Term, PFPC shall make a good faith effort to facilitate a conversion of services to the Fund’s successor service, provider, however, there can be no guarantee that PFPC will be able to facilitate such a conversion of services on the conversion date requested by the Fund. In connection with the foregoing and prior to such conversion to the successor service provider, the payment of all fees to PFPC as set forth herein shall be accelerated to a date prior to the conversion or termination of services and calculated as if the services had remained with PFPC until the expiration of the then current Initial or Renewal Term and calculated at the asset and/or Shareholder account levels, as the case may be, on the date notice of termination was given to PFPC.

(f) In the event a Fund intends to close a Series, such Fund may, upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to PFPC (the “Notice Period”), remove that Series from this Agreement without owing any further fees to PFPC with respect to that Series after the Notice Period, other than fees owing to PFPC for services rendered to that Series. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the terms of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect during and after the Notice Period with respecting to the remaining Series as then set forth on Exhibit A to this Agreement.

29

(g) A Fund may, upon sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to PFPC, add another Series to Exhibit A to this Agreement (each a “New Series”) after which PFPC shall perform the services described in this Agreement with respect to New Series. For services provided to the New Series, the relevant Fund shall pay PFPC a fee, which fee shall be in accordance with the then-current fee schedule between the Funds and PFPC.

20. Notices. Notices shall be addressed (a) if to PFPC, at 000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxx 00000, Attention: President; (b) if to the GE Fund Products, at c/o GE Asset Management Incorporated, 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, X.X. Xxx 000000, Xxxxxxxx, XX 00000-0000, Attention: General Counsel or (c) if to neither of the foregoing, at such other address as shall have been given by like notice to the sender of any such notice or other communication by the other party. If notice is sent by confirming telegram, cable, telex or facsimile sending device, it shall be deemed to have been given immediately. If notice is sent by first-class mail, it shall be deemed to have been given three days after it has been mailed. If notice is sent by messenger, it shall be deemed to have been given on the day it is delivered.

21. Amendments. This Agreement, or any term thereof, may be changed or waived only by a written amendment, signed by the party against whom enforcement of such change or waiver is sought.

22. Delegation; Assignment and Sub-Contracting. PFPC may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder to any majority-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of PFPC or of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., provided that PFPC gives the GE Fund Products thirty (30) days’ prior written notice of such assignment or delegation. PFPC may in its sole discretion sub-contract for the performance of less than substantially all certain services hereunder; provided however, PFPC shall remain responsible for the performance of any sub-contractor to the same extent PFPC would have been responsible had PFPC provided the service directly.

30

23. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

24. Further Actions. Each party agrees to perform such further acts and execute such further documents as are necessary to effectuate the purposes hereof.

25. Miscellaneous.

(a) Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the exhibits and schedules attached hereto, embodies the entire agreement and understanding among the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof, provided that the parties may embody in one or more separate documents their agreement, if any, with respect to delegated duties.

(b) No Changes that Materially Affect Obligations. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Funds agree not to make any modifications to its registration statement, and the GE Fund Products agree not to adopt any policies which would affect materially the obligations or responsibilities of PFPC hereunder without the prior written approval of PFPC, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(c) Captions. The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or limit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.

(d) Information. The GE Fund Products will provide such information and documentation as PFPC may reasonably request in connection with services provided by PFPC to the GE Fund Products.

31

(e) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made in Delaware and governed by Delaware law, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

(f) Partial Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

(g) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

(h) Facsimile Signatures. The facsimile signature of any party to this Agreement shall constitute the valid and binding execution hereof by such party.

(i) Customer Identification Program Notice. To help the U.S. government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, U.S. Federal law requires each financial institution to obtain, verify, and record certain information that identifies each person who initially opens an account with that financial institution on or after October 1, 2003. Certain of PFPC’s affiliates are financial institutions, and PFPC may, as a matter of policy, request (or may have already requested) each of the Funds’ and the GE XXX Program’s name, address and taxpayer identification number or other government-issued identification number, and, if such party is a natural person, that party’s date of birth. PFPC may also ask (and may have already asked) for additional identifying information, and PFPC may take steps (and may have already taken steps) to verify the authenticity and accuracy of these data elements.

If customized code requires greater PFPC mainframe CICS, DASD, or CPU resources than the base PFPC delivered Customer Manager Suite solution, PFPC reserves the right to charge the Fund for this usage. If there is concern that excessive resource utilization could impair the mainframe system, PFPC reserves the right to disallow this modified code from executing on the mainframe. The GE Fund Products are advised to consult with PFPC in order to determine if planned customization may negatively impact mainframe resources.

“As-Of” Procedures

Set forth below are procedures and guidelines for the reimbursement by PFPC of financial gains and losses resulting from “as-of” shareholder transactions and for which PFPC is the responsible party. PFPC acknowledges that attached hereto as Appendix A is a copy of the Funds’ Amended and Restated Procedures Relating to As-of-Cap Stock Activity, as such procedures are amended from time to time by the Funds’ Boards of Trustees.

Definitions

• “As-of” Shareholder Transactions

An “as-of” transaction, also known as a backdated trade, is defined as a purchase, redemption or exchange transaction processed on a retroactive basis. The effective date of the trade will be prior to the processing date. The difference in the share price between the “as-of” trade and the processing date could result in a gain or loss to a Series (or shareholder) which may increase or dilute the assets of the Series or any dividends paid by the Series during the accumulation period (as defined below).

• Materiality

Materiality shall be defined as the point at which the Net Asset Value (“NAV”) is impacted at a Series or class level daily or over an accumulation period. Gains or losses that do not impact the NAV at the Series or class level shall be defined as immaterial for purposes of determining whether PFPC is obligated to reimburse a Fund or Series for an “as-of” transaction for which PFPC is responsible.

• Accumulation Period

With respect to each Series, an accumulation period shall be defined as that Series’ fiscal year.

• Late Dividend Gain/Loss

An increase or decrease in a Series dividend or distribution amounts to be paid, resulting from any “as-of “ trading activity after the Series’ distribution ex-dividend date (ex-date).

General Practice

PFPC has the capability to track, at the Series or class level, both on a daily and cumulative basis, the impact of all shareholder “as-of” transactions processed through PFPC’s system. This tracking is reflected on the daily SuperSheets prepared by PFPC. Daily and cumulative gain/loss balances are reported “net” at the Series or class level. To facilitate the tracking and reporting process, PFPC assigns a responsibility code to track gain/loss by the following parties:

1. Management Company

• GEAM

• Principal underwriter

60

2. Series of Class

• Estimates

• Shareholder

• Transmission Issue

3. Transfer Agent (i.e., PFPC)

4. Third-party dealer or intermediary

Standard of Materiality

• Cumulative Basis

An “as-of” transaction error will be considered material if the cumulative net gain/loss balance is greater than or equal to the lesser value of $.005 per outstanding share or $5,000.00 over an accumulation period.

Policy

Cumulative Basis

In the event that an “as-of” gain/loss amount, at the Series or class level, is equal to or exceeds the lesser value of $.005 per outstanding share or $5,000.00 on a cumulative net basis over an accumulation period, PFPC will notify GEAM and the Series’ accounting agent (“Fund Accounting”) immediately. At that time, PFPC will provide a detailed explanation of the transaction, or transactions, which caused the “as-of” amount to equal or exceed the lesser value of $.005 per outstanding share or the $5,000.00 threshold. PFPC will work closely with GEAM to identify and resolve the full gain/loss amount.

If PFPC is responsible for any such material “as-of” loss on a cumulative net basis over the relevant accumulation period, PFPC will reimburse the full amount due to the Series. Such reimbursement will occur no later than one month from the date of the transaction.

At the end of each accumulation period, any immaterial “as-of” cumulative gain/loss balance or any material “as-of” gains remaining on the books of the Series will not be the responsibility of PFPC. The cumulative tracking mechanism for “as-of” gains and losses will be reset to zero to begin the next accumulation period.

61

Additionally, in cases where a material “as-of” loss has occurred on a cumulative net basis, PFPC may request that GEAM recalculate the impacted NAV(s) and allow PFPC to re-process the affected shareholder transactions as if the “as-of” trade(s) had been processed in a timely manner on the applicable trade date with the correct NAV. Individual account adjustments of less than or equal to an amount set by the Board are considered de minimis and will not be processed by PFPC.

PFPC will utilize the procedures outlined below for “as-of” dividend accrual resulting from adjustments occurring within a month and “late dividends” resulting from “as-of” transactions crossing a Series’ ex-date.

Accrual Gain/Loss:

PFPC will not be responsible for accrual gain/loss results from any “as-of” trade activity in a daily dividend accrual fund.

Late Dividend Gain/Loss:

PFPC will reimburse the applicable Series within 30 days for any material late dividend loss for which PFPC is responsible.

Interest Compensation:

In the event of a check disbursement or wire payment error in which the shareholder has lost interest due to a misrouting of the proceeds, PFPC will not pay interest compensation to the shareholder until reimbursement of such interest earnings from the bank that benefited in error from the misrouted payment. In cases where PFPC is at fault, payment of interest compensation to the shareholder will not be delayed.

Gain/Loss Reporting and Tracking

PFPC tracks the responsibility (by Management Company, Series or Class and Transfer Agent) for all gains and losses generated by “as-of” transactions. PFPC may also prepare detailed explanations of “as-of” activity, primarily for internal process improvement purposes. Additionally, a daily/weekly/monthly gain/loss report can be made available to designated individuals at GEAM.

APPENDIX A

Amended and Restated

Procedures Relating to As-of-Cap Stock Activity

The members of the Board of GE Funds, GE Institutional Funds, GE LifeStyle Funds, GE Investments Funds, Elfun Trusts, Elfun International Equity Fund, Elfun Income Fund, Elfun Tax-Exempt Income Fund, Elfun Diversified Fund, Elfun Money Market Fund, GE S&S Program Mutual Fund, GE S&S Income Fund (each, a “Trust” and collectively, the “Trusts”) adopt the following procedures with respect to As-of Cap Stock Activity (as defined below) for each series of each Trust (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”).

Definition As-of Cap Stock Activity

Any transaction that is executed on a particular date (Execution Date) for a Fund using a prior day’s net asset value (Transaction Date) where the Fund’s net asset value (NAV) on the Transaction Date is an amount different than the NAV on the Execution Date and/or the Fund declared a dividend any time between the Execution Date and Transaction Date (Transaction).

Policy

State Street Bank (SSB), the funds’ accounting agent, will maintain a schedule that records any As-of Cap Stock Activity that favorably or unfavorably impacts a Fund by an amount equal to or greater than $.0001 per share. This amount shall be determined by SSB by calculating the difference between (i) number of shares in a Transaction multiplied by the NAV on Execution Date and (ii) number of shares in a Transaction multiplied by the NAV on the Transaction Date, in each case adjusted for any dividends declared between the Execution Date and the Transaction Date, divided by the number of shares outstanding on the Execution Date. This schedule will be distributed by SSB to GE Investment Distributor, Inc. (GEID), the Funds’ distributor, GE Asset Management Incorporated (GEAM), the Funds’ adviser and administrator, and NFDS, the Funds’ transfer agent, (i) weekly and (ii) on the day following the date in which any new As-of Cap Stock Activity occurred. Amounts below this $.0001 per share threshold are so immaterial that they do not warrant immediate action.

If the difference is not favorable to the Fund, GEID will commence its process to determine the responsible party and recover any amounts owed to the Fund within five business days of having received notification that As-of Cap Stock Activity has occurred.

If, at any time during a Fund’s fiscal year, the balance of unpaid As-of Cap Stock gross receivables (in the aggregate, and not individually) exceed $.01 per share, (i) GEAM will instruct SSB to record all of the transactions that make up this As-of Cap Stock balance on the general ledger of the Fund and to include the As-of-Cap Stock balance in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value, (ii) SSB will notify GEAM that such entry has occurred, and (iii) GEAM will promptly notify GEID of the amount that is required to correct the unpaid balance*. GEID shall pay the Fund(s)’ such amount within 30 days of notification.

In addition, GEAM will review As-of Cap Stock balances each year (on or about the last business day of each Fund’s fiscal year end) to determine if there are any remaining balances of unpaid As-of Cap Stock gross receivables that (in the aggregate, and not individually) exceed $.01 per share. If As-of Cap Stock receivable balances do not exceed $.01 per share, the net balance** shall be written off as of the end of the fiscal year.

If the balance of unpaid As-of Cap Stock gross receivables (in the aggregate, and not individually) exceed $.01 per share, (i) GEAM will instruct SSB to record all of the transactions that make up this As-of Cap Stock balance on the general ledger of the Fund and to include the As-of-Cap Stock balance in the calculation of the Fund’s net asset value, (ii) SSB will notify GEAM that such entry has occurred, and (iii) GEAM will notify GEID of the amount that is required to correct the unpaid balance *. GEID shall pay such amount within 30 days of notification.

64

An As-of Cap Stock gross payable of any amount shall be released to the Fund to the extent any efforts to locate another recipient of that amount has been completed or is not applicable.

Reimbursements made to the fund for As-of Cap Stock Activity will be recorded in accordance to standards of the AICPA Audit Guide of Investment Companies as well as GAAP.

* The amount of such payment will equal the total amount of the As-of Cap Stock gross receivable for such Fund.

** The net amount shall be calculated by netting the gross receivable balance with the gross liability balance within the same Fund.
