This Addendum to Selected Broker Agreement (the "Addendum") is made this ____
day of __________, 2003 between State Street Global Markets, LLC (the

WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, the Broker is authorized to offer and sell
Shares of each SSgA Fund identified on Schedule A hereto, as amended from time
to time; and
WHEREAS, the Broker has established an additional class of Shares of the SSgA
Funds designated as the "Class R Shares"; and
WHEREAS, the Broker and the Distributor desire for the Broker to offer and sell
Class R Shares of each SSgA Fund in accordance with the terms of the Agreement,
as amended and/or supplemented by this Addendum;
NOW, THEREFORE, the Distributor and the Broker hereby agree as follows:
1. Except as otherwise provided in this Addendum, (i) all terms and conditions
of the Agreement shall apply with respect to Class R Shares and (ii) the term
"Shares," as used in the Agreement, shall include Class R Shares.
2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, for its services
under the Agreement with respect to the Class R Shares of each SSgA Fund, the
Broker shall be entitled to receive a fee payable by the Distributor or the SSgA
Funds in the amount set forth in Schedule A hereto. All amounts paid or payable
to the Broker pursuant to this Addendum shall be paid or payable as compensation
for the Broker's services under the Agreement and this Addendum without regard

implementation of qualified pension, profit-sharing and similar benefit plans,
including the selection of investment options available under such plans. Any

Funds, notwithstanding the receipt of compensation hereunder from the
Distributor or the SSgA Funds.
4. The Broker represents and warrants that the performance of its services under
the Agreement and this Addendum and the receipt of compensation in connection

Broker's obligations to its Customers under applicable state and Federal law.
5. The Broker covenants that Class R Shares of an SSgA Fund will not be offered
or sold to any Customer unless such offer or sale has been preceded by or is
accompanied with (i) a current prospectus with respect to such Class R Shares
and (ii) disclosure of the compensation payable to the Broker hereunder.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Addendum to be executed
by their officers thereunto duly authorized as of the date written above.
