Re: TRANSFER AGENCY AND RELATED SERVICES AGREEMENT
AND TRANSFER AGENCY-RELATED SERVICES DELEGATION AGREEMENT
Dear Sirs:
The Boards of Directors or Trustees of the funds (each a "Fund") listed on the
attached Schedule A, have authorized an increase to fees payable for transfer
agency and related services. In accordance with the provisions of each Fund's
Transfer Agency and Related Services Agreement (collectively, the "TA
Agreements") with PFPC Inc. ("PFPC"), each of which provides that, in
consideration of PFPC's services as transfer agent, registrar, dividend
disbursing agent and related services agent, each Fund will pay PFPC such fees
as are agreed to in writing from time to time, each Fund hereby agrees to pay
PFPC fees in the amount indicated next to the name of the Fund on Schedule A.
The fees, shown on Schedule A on an annualized, per account basis, shall be
calculated and paid monthly, on the basis of all accounts open during the month
for which fees are calculated. The minimum monthly fee is $750 per Fund (not per
class) exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses.
In addition, the term of each TA Agreement is hereby amended to continue through
September 30, 2006.
Also, the Transfer Agency- Related Services Delegation Agreement ("Delegation
Agreement"), pursuant to which PFPC agrees to pay UBS Global Asset Management
(US) Inc. ("UBS Global AM") or UBS PaineWebber Inc. such fees as agreed to from
time to time for the performance of certain services required to be performed by
PFPC under the TA Agreements, is hereby amended to provide that PFPC agrees to
pay UBS Global AM or UBS PaineWebber Inc. the fees set forth on Schedule A for
the services performed under the Delegation Agreement.
All other provisions of the TA Agreements and the Delegation Agreement remain in
effect. Please acknowledge receipt of this letter and acceptance of the new fees
schedules listed on Schedule A and the amendment to the TA Agreements and
Delegation Agreements by signing where indicated below and returning this letter
to me. If you have any questions, you may call me at (000) 000-0000 or Xxxx
Xxxxxxxx at (000) 000-0000.
Very truly yours,
/s/ Xxxxxx X. Xxxxxxxx Xx.
