AMENDMENT TO PRICING AND BOOKKEEPING AGREEMENT
This Amendment is made and entered into this 1st day of July, 2001 by
and among each Massachusetts Business Trust (the "Trust") designated in Appendix
I from time to time, and Colonial Management Associates, Inc. ("Colonial"), a
Massachusetts corporation.
WHEREAS, each Trust and Colonial previously entered into a Pricing and
Bookkeeping Agreement dated September 28, 1995, as amended (the "Agreement");
and
WHEREAS, the parties desire to amend the compensation provision of the
Agreement and add a provision that allows Colonial to delegate its
responsibilities under the Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
of the parties hereto as herein set forth, the parties covenant and agree as
follows:
1. Paragraph 4 (Compensation) of the Agreement is amended and restated in
its entirety as follows:
"4. Compensation. The Trust will pay Colonial for each Fund a monthly
fee consisting of a Flat Fee plus an Asset-Based Fee, as follows:
(a) "Flat Fee." For each Fund that is a stand-alone fund or a
master fund in a master/feeder structure, as identified as
such on Schedule A, an annual fee of $10,000, paid monthly.
For each Fund that is a feeder fund in a master/feeder
structure, as identified as such on Schedule A, an annual
fee of $5,000, paid monthly; plus
(b) "Asset-Based Fee." For each Fund that is a stand-alone fund
or a feeder fund in a master/feeder structure, as identified
as such on Schedule A, that has average net assets of more
than $50 million in any particular month, a monthly fee
equal to the average net assets of the Fund for that month
multiplied by the Asset-Based Fee Rate. The "Asset-Based Fee
Rate" shall be calculated as follows:
[(number of stand-alone funds and master funds on Schedule A
x $105,000) + (number of feeder funds on Schedule A x
$12,000) - (annual flat fees payable by each fund on
Schedule A)] / (average monthly net assets of all
stand-alone funds and feeder funds on Schedule A with
average monthly net assets of more than $50 million in that
month)
[Note: certain of the funds listed on Schedule A are not party to the
Agreement but are listed for the purpose of calculating the fees
above.] The Trust also shall reimburse Colonial for any and all
out-of-pocket expenses and charges, including fees payable to third
parties for pricing a Fund's portfolio securities, in performing
services under this Agreement."
2. The following provision shall be added as paragraph 10 of the
Agreement:
"10. Use of Affiliated Companies and Subcontractors. In connection
with the services to be provided by Colonial under this Agreement,
Colonial may, to the extent it deems appropriate, and subject to
compliance with the requirements of applicable laws and regulations
and upon receipt of approval of the Trustees, make use of (i) its
affiliated companies and their directors, trustees, officers, and
employees and (ii) subcontractors selected by Colonial, provided that
Colonial shall supervise and remain fully responsible for the services
of all such third parties in accordance with and to the extent
provided by this Agreement. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph
4 herein, all costs and expenses associated with services provided by
any such third parties shall be borne by Colonial or such parties."
A copy of the document establishing the Trust is filed with the
Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts. This Agreement is
executed by officers not as individuals and is not binding upon any of
the Trustees, officers or shareholders of the Trust individually but
only upon the assets of the Fund.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound
hereby, have executed and delivered this Agreement as of the date first written
above.
