WHEREAS, the Fund has entered into the Agreement with the Service

WHEREAS, the Securities and Exchange Commission has adopted Regulation S-
P at 17 CFR Part 248 to protect the privacy of individuals who obtain a

WHEREAS, Regulation S-P permits financial institutions, such as the Fund,
to disclose "nonpublic personal information" ("NPI") of its "customers" and
"consumers" (as those terms are therein defined in Regulation S-P) to affiliated

consumers the ability to opt out of such disclosure, for the limited purposes of
processing and servicing transactions (17 CFR {section} 248.14) ("Section 248.14
NPI"); for specified law enforcement and miscellaneous purposes (17 CFR
{section} 248.15) ("Section 248.15 NPI") ; and to service providers or in

WHEREAS, Regulation S-P provides that the right of a customer and

{section} 248.7 and 17 CFR {section} 248.10 does not apply when the NPI is
disclosed to service providers or in connection with joint marketing

the information (17 CFR {section} 248.13);
NOW, THEREFORE, the parties intending to be legally bound agree as

obligations under the Agreement in the ordinary course of business to support
the Fund and its shareholders.
2. The Service Provider hereby agrees to be bound to use and redisclose such NPI
only for the limited purpose of fulfilling its duties and obligations under

arrangements that the Funds may establish with the Service Provider in
accordance with the limited exception set forth in 17 CFR {section} 248.13.
3. The Service Provider further represents and warrants that, in accordance with
17 CFR {section} 248.30, it has implemented, and will continue to carry out
for the term of the Agreement, policies and procedures reasonably designed
to:
{circle}insure the security and confidentiality of records and NPI of
Fund customers,
{circle}protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the
security or integrity of Fund customer records and NPI, and
{circle}protect against unauthorized access to or use of such Fund
customer records or NPI that could result in substantial harm or
inconvenience to any Fund customer.
4. The Service Provider may redisclose Section 248.13 NPI only to: (a)
the Funds and affiliated persons of the Funds ("Fund Affiliates"); (b)
affiliated persons of the Service Provider ("Service Provider Affiliates")
(which in turn may disclose or use the information only to the extent permitted

only in the ordinary course of business to carry out the activity covered by the
exception under which the Service Provider received the information in the first
instance; and (d) a Nonaffiliated Third Party under the service provider and

the Nonaffiliated Third Party from disclosing or using the information other
than to carry out the purposes for which the Funds disclosed the information in
the first instance.
5. The Service Provider may redisclose Section 248.14 NPI and Section
248.15 NPI to: (a) the Funds and Fund Affiliates; (b) Service Provider
Affiliates (which in turn may disclose the information to the same extent
permitted under the original receipt); and (c) a Nonaffiliated Third Party to
whom the Funds might lawfully have disclosed NPI directly.

termination date of the Agreement the confidentiality of any NPI it receives

arrangement, and hereby agrees that this Amendment shall survive such
