NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:

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”), dividend disbursing agent, and agent in connection with any accumulation or similar plans provided to shareholders of each of the Portfolios (the “Shareholders”), including without limitation any periodic investment plan or periodic withdrawal program, as provided in the currently effective prospectus 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:

	(i)		receive for acceptance, orders for the purchase of Shares, and promptly deliver payment and appropriate documentation thereof to the Custodian of the Fund authorized pursuant to the Charter of the Fund (the “Custodian”);

	(ii)		pursuant to purchase orders, issue the appropriate number of Shares and hold such Shares in the appropriate Shareholder account;

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

	(iv)		at the appropriate time as and when it receives monies paid to it by the Custodian with respect to any redemption, pay over or cause to be paid over in the appropriate manner such monies as instructed by the Fund;

The Transfer Agent shall also provide the Fund on a regular basis with the total number of Shares which are authorized and issued and outstanding and shall have no obligation, when recording the issuance of Shares, to monitor the issuance of such Shares or to take cognizance of any laws relating to the issue or sale of such Shares, which function shall be the sole responsibility of the Fund.
