check or other order for payment of money on the account of any
shareholder or new investor is returned unpaid for any reason, LFS
will:

non-payment; and
(b) Take such other steps, including imposition of a
reasonable processing or handling fee, as LFS may, in
LFS's discretion, deem appropriate, or as the Trust or
the Distributor may instruct LFS, provided that any

case may be, shall indemnify LFS and payor bank in
respect of such payment.

notify LFS of the declaration of any dividend or distribution with
respect to Fund shares, the amount of such dividend or
distribution, the date each such dividend or distribution shall be
paid, and the record date for determination of shareholders
entitled to receive such dividend or distribution. As dividend
disbursing agent, LFS will, on or about the payment date of any
such dividend or distribution, notify the Custodian of the
estimated amount of cash required to pay such dividend or
distribution, and the Trust agrees that on or before the mailing
date of such dividend or distribution it will instruct the
Custodian to make available to LFS sufficient funds in the
dividend and distribution account maintained by LFS with the Bank.

shareholders any funds to which they are entitled by reason of any

the standards for redemption, LFS will promptly notify
the shareholder and shall effect the redemption at the
price in effect at the time of receipt of documents
complying with the standard; and
(c) LFS shall notify the Trust and the Distributor as soon
as practicable on each business day of the total
number of Trust shares and funds covered by requests
for redemption which were received by LFS in proper
form on the previous business day, and shall notify

respect to any CDSC.

designated as authorized persons to give instructions to LFS as to
proceedings or facts in connection with any action taken by the
shareholders of the Fund or Trustees of the Trust, and upon
instructions not inconsistent with this Agreement from individuals

individual designated as an authorized person to give instructions
to LFS, LFS may apply to counsel for the Trust, or counsel for

action reasonably taken on the basis of such certifications or
instructions or in accordance with the advice of counsel of the
Trust, or counsel for SRF, the Trust will indemnify and hold
harmless LFS from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities
and expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses).
The Trust will indemnify LFS against and hold LFS harmless
from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and expenses

arising out of, or in connection with its duties under this
Agreement.
LFS shall indemnify the Trust against and hold the Trust
harmless from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities and
expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) in

bad faith, negligence, lack of due diligence or willful
misconduct, and arising out of, or in connection with, its duties
under this Agreement. For purposes of this Transfer Agent
Agreement, "lack of due diligence" shall mean the processing by
LFS of a Fund share transaction in accordance with a practice that
is not substantially in compliance with (1) a transaction
processing practice approved by the Trust's Trustees, (2)
insurance coverage's, or (3) generally accepted industry practices
of mutual fund agents.
LFS shall also be indemnified and held harmless by the Trust
against any loss, claim, damage, liability and expenses (including
reasonable counsel fees and expenses) by reason of any act done by
it in good faith with due diligence and in reasonable reliance
upon any instrument or certificate for shares reasonably believed
by it (a) to be genuine and (b) to be signed, countersigned or
executed by any person or persons authorized to sign, countersign,
or execute such instrument or certificate.
In addition, the Trust will indemnify and hold LFS harmless
against any loss, claim, damage, liability and expense (including
reasonable counsel fees and expenses) in respect of any claim,
demand, action or suit as a result of the negligence of the Fund,
the Trust or SRF as a result of LFS's acting upon any instructions
reasonably believed by LFS to have been executed or orally
communicated by a duly authorized officer or employee of the Fund,
Trust or SRF as a result of acting in reliance upon written or
oral advice reasonably believed by LFS to have been given by
counsel for the Fund, Trust or SRF.
In any case in which a party to this Agreement may be asked
to indemnify or hold harmless the other party hereto, the party
seeking indemnification shall advise the other party of all
pertinent facts concerning the situation giving rise to the claim
or potential claim for indemnification, and each party shall use
reasonable care to identify and notify the other promptly
concerning any situation which presents or appears likely to
present a claim for indemnification. Prior to admitting to or
agreeing to settle any claim subject to this Section, each party
shall give the other reasonable opportunity to defend against said
claim in either party's name.
25. Termination and Amendment. This Agreement shall
continue in effect until May 30, 1999, and will automatically be
renewed for successive one year terms thereafter unless
terminated, effective as of the expiration of the then current
term, by not less than one hundred eighty (180) days written
notice prior to any renewal date. Upon termination hereof, the
Trust shall pay LFS such compensation as may be due to LFS as of
the date of such termination for services rendered and expenses
incurred, as described in Schedule B. This Agreement may be
modified or amended from time to time by mutual agreement between
the Trust and LFS.
26. Successors. In the event that in connection with
termination of this Agreement a successor to any of LFS's duties
or responsibilities hereunder is designated by the Trust by
written notice to LFS, LFS shall promptly, at the expense of the
Trust, transfer to such successor, a certificate list of the
shareholders of the Fund (with name, address and taxpayer
identification or Social Security number), a historical record of
the account of each shareholder and the status thereof, all other
relevant books, records, correspondence and other data established
or maintained by LFS under this Agreement in machine readable form
and will cooperate in the transfer of such duties and
responsibilities, and in the establishment of books, records and
other data by such successor. LFS shall be entitled to
reimbursement of its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in respect
of assistance provided in accordance with the preceding sentence.
27. Miscellaneous. This Agreement shall be construed in
accordance with and governed by the laws of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
28. Liability. It is understood and expressly stipulated
that neither the shareholders of the Funds which are series of the
Trust nor the members of the Board of the Trust shall be
personally liable hereunder. The obligations of the Trust are not
personally binding upon, nor shall resort be had to the private
property of, any of the members of the Board of the Trust, nor of
the shareholders, officers, employees or agents of the Trust, but
only the Trust's property shall be bound. A copy of the
Declaration of Trust and of each amendment thereto has been filed
by the Trust with the Secretary of State of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts and with the Clerk of the City of Boston, as well as
any other governmental office where such filing may from time to
time be required.

of reference only and in no way define or limit any of the
provisions of this Agreement or otherwise affect their
construction or effect. This Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be
deemed an original, but all of which taken together shall
constitute one and the same instrument.
LFS shall keep confidential all records and information
provided to LFS by the Trust, and prior, present or prospective
shareholders of the Fund, except to the extent disclosures are
required by this Agreement, by the Fund's registration statement,
or by a reasonable request or a valid subpoena or warrant issued
