AMENDED AND RESTATED
SERVICE SUB-AGREEMENT

In consideration of the premises and mutual agreements herein contained,
the Manager hereby appoints EBS to provide personal services to shareholders and
beneficial owners as described herein and EBS agrees to act, perform or assume
the responsibility therefore in the manner and subject to the conditions
hereinafter set forth.
1. SERVICES FURNISHED BY EBS
EBS will provide personal services to shareholders and beneficial owners of

services include:
(a) responding to plan sponsor and plan member inquiries;
(b) providing information regarding plan sponsor and plan member
investments;
(c) other similar personal services or services related to the
maintenance of shareholder accounts as contemplated by NASD Rule
2830, or any successor thereto.
In the carrying out of this function, EBS may contract with others,
including companies affiliated with EBS, for data systems, processing services
and other administrative services. EBS may at any time or times in its
discretion appoint (and may at any time remove) other parties, including
companies affiliated with EBS, as its agent to carry out such provisions of the
Agreement as EBS may from time to time direct; provided, however, that the
appointment of any such agent shall not relieve EBS of any of its
responsibilities or liabilities hereunder.
2. COMPENSATION FOR SERVICES
The Manager will pay EBS service fees as described in Appendix A hereto for
services provided pursuant to this agreement. Service fees under this Agreement
will be calculated and accrued daily and paid monthly to EBS, or at such other
intervals as the Manager and EBS may agree. For purpose of this Agreement,
"service fees" shall mean payments in connection with the provision of personal,

shareholder accounts, excluding (i) transfer agent and sub-transfer agent
services for beneficial owners of the Fund's shares, (ii) aggregating and
processing purchase and redemption orders, (iii) providing beneficial owners
with account statements, processing dividend payments, (iv) providing
sub-accounting services for shares held beneficially, (v) forwarding shareholder
communications to beneficial owners, and (vi) receiving, tabulating and
transmitting proxies executed by beneficial owners; provided, however, that if
the NASD adopts a definition of "service fees" for purposes of NASD Rule 2830
(or any successor to such rule) that differs from the definition of "service
activities" hereunder, or if the NASD adopts a related definition intended to
define the same concept, the definition of "service fees" in this Section shall
be automatically amended, without further action of the parties, to conform to
such NASD definition.
3. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF EBS
EBS shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for
any loss suffered by the Manager in connection with the matters to which this
Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith

without the payment of any penalty, by the Manager or by EBS.
