3. FEES.
3.1 FEES FROM THE TRUST. In consideration for the services
described in Section 2.1(a) hereof relating to acting as liaison to shareholders
and providing personal services to shareholders, the Agent shall receive fees to
be paid in arrears periodically (but in no event less frequently than
semi-annually) at an annual rate of the average daily net assets set forth with
respect to the applicable Fund and Class of Shares so indicated on Schedule A
attached hereto represented by Shares owned during the period for which payment
is being made by Customers for whom the Agent is the holder or Agent of record
or with whom it maintains a servicing relationship. In consideration for the
services described in Section 2.1(b) hereof relating to other administrative
services and the incurring of expenses in connection therewith, the Agent shall
receive fees to be paid in arrears periodically (but in no event less frequently
than semi-annually) at an annual rate of the average daily net assets set forth
with respect to the applicable Fund and Class of Shares so indicated on Schedule
A attached hereto represented by Shares owned during the period for which
payment is being made by Customers for whom the Agent is the holder or Agent of
record or with whom it maintains a servicing relationship. For purposes of
determining the fees payable to the Agent hereunder, the value of the Trust's
net assets shall be computed in the manner specified in the Trust's then-current
prospectus and statement of additional information for computation of the net
asset value of the Trust's Shares. Any Agent may direct the Trust in writing
that its fees from the Trust for the services rendered hereunder and incurring
of expenses in connection therewith be paid to another Agent on a consolidated
basis. Any such consolidated payment to a designated Agent by the Trust shall
relieve the Trust of responsibility for payment of compensation it owes to any
other individual Agent and shall satisfy the Trust's fee payment obligations
hereunder with respect to all Agents.
3.2 FEES FROM CUSTOMERS. It is agreed that the Financial
Institution may impose certain conditions on Customers, in addition to or
different from those imposed by the Trust, such as requiring a minimum initial
investment or charging Customers direct fees for the same or similar services as
are provided hereunder by the Financial Institution as Agent (which fees may
either relate specifically to the Financial Institution's services with respect
to the Trust or generally over services not limited to those with respect to the
Trust). The Financial Institution shall xxxx Customers directly for such fees.
In the event the Financial Institution charges Customers such fees, it shall
make appropriate prior written disclosure (such disclosure to be in accordance
with all applicable laws) to Customers both of any direct fees charged to the
Customer and of the fees received or to be received by it from the Trust
pursuant to Section 3.1 of this Agreement. It is understood, however, that in no
event shall the Financial Institution have recourse or access as Agent or
otherwise to the account of any shareholder of the Trust except to the extent
expressly authorized by law or by such shareholder, or to any assets of the
Trust, for payment of any direct fees referred to in this Section 3.2.
4. INFORMATION PERTAINING TO THE SHARES; ETC. The Agent and its
officers, employees and agents are not authorized to make any representations
concerning the Trust or the Shares to Customers or prospective Customers,
excepting only accurate communication of (i) factual information contained in
the then-current Trust prospectus and statement or additional information, (ii)
current and historical yield and other performance information for any or all of
the Trust portfolios, calculated by the Administrator of the Funds in accordance
with then-current rules and regulations of the Securities and

(iii) any other factual information permitted to be communicated by the Agent
and its officers, employees and agents under then-current rules and regulations
of the SEC, National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc. and any other
appropriate regulatory, governmental or judicial authority. The Agent shall act
as agent for the Customer only in furnishing information regarding the Trust or
the Shares and shall have no authority to act as agent for the Trust.
Advance copies or proofs of all materials which are to be
generally circulated or disseminated by the Agent to Customers or prospective
Customers which identify or describe the Trust shall be provided to the Trust
(or its designee) at least 10 days prior to such circulation or dissemination
(unless the Trust consents in writing to a shorter period), and such materials
shall not be circulated or disseminated or further circulated or disseminated at
any time after the Trust shall have given written notice to the Agent of any
objection thereto.
Nothing in this Section 4 shall be construed to make the Trust
liable for the use of any information about the Trust which is disseminated by
the Agent.

Agent, in any prospectus, sales literature or other material relating to the
Trust in a manner not approved by the Agent prior thereto in writing; PROVIDED,
HOWEVER, that the approval of the Agent shall not be required for any use of its
name which merely refers in accurate and factual terms to its appointment
hereunder or which is required by the SEC or any state securities authority or
any other appropriate regulatory, governmental or judicial authority; PROVIDED,
FURTHER, that in no event shall such approval be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
6. USE OF THE TRUST'S NAME. Without limiting the effect of Section 4
hereof, the Agent shall not use the name of the Trust on any checks, bank
drafts, bank statements or forms for other than internal use in a manner not
approved by the Trust prior thereto in writing; PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that the
approval of the Trust shall not be required for the use of the Trust's name in
connection with communications permitted by Section 4 hereof or subject to
Section 4, to the extent the same may be applicable for any use of the Trust's
name which merely refers in accurate and factual terms to the Agent's role
hereunder or which is required by the SEC, or any state securities authority or
any other appropriate regulatory, governmental or judicial authority; PROVIDED,
FURTHER, that in no event shall such approval be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.
7. SECURITY. The Agent represents and warrants that the various
procedures and systems which it has implemented (including provision for
twenty-four hours a day restricted access) with regard to safeguarding from loss
or damage attributable to fire, theft or any other cause that Trust's records
and other data and the Agent's records, data, equipment, facilities and other
property used in the performance of its obligations hereunder are adequate and
that it will make such changes therein from time to time as in its judgment are
required for the secure performance of its obligations hereunder. The parties
shall review such systems and procedures on a periodic basis, and the Trust
shall from time to time specify the types of records and other data of the Trust
to be safeguarded in accordance with this Section 7.

applicable federal and state laws and regulations, including securities laws.
The Agent represents and warrants to the Trust that the performance of all its
obligations hereunder will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, the
provisions of its charter documents and by-laws and all material contractual
obligations binding upon the Agent. The Agent furthermore undertakes that it
will promptly inform the Trust of any change in applicable laws or regulations
(or interpretations thereof) or in its charter or by-laws or material contracts
which would prevent or impair full performance of any of its obligations
hereunder.
9. REPORTS. To the extent requested by the Trust from time to time,
the Agent agrees that it will provide the Treasurer of the Trust with a written
report of the amounts expended by the Agent pursuant to this Agreement and the
purposes for which such expenditures were made. Such written reports shall be in
a form satisfactory to the Trust and shall supply all information necessary for
the Trust and the Trustees of the Trust to discharge their respective
responsibilities under applicable laws and regulations.
10. RECORD-KEEPING.
10.1 SECTION 31(a). ETC. The Agent shall maintain records in
form acceptable to, and as directed by, the Trust in compliance with applicable
laws and the rules and regulations of the SEC, including but not limited to the
record-keeping requirements of Section 31(a) of the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended (the " 1940 Act"), and the rules thereunder. Such records shall
be deemed to be the property of the Trust and will be made available, at the
Trust's request, for inspection and used by the Trust, representatives of the
Trust and governmental authorities. The Agent agrees that for so long as it
retains any records of the Trust, it will meet all reporting requirements, if
any, pursuant to the 1940 Act with respect to such records, as may be specified
by the Trust from time to time.
10.2 RULES 17a-3 AND 17a-4. The Agent shall maintain accurate
and complete records with respect to services performed by the Agent in
connection with the purchase and redemption of Shares. The Agent hereby
undertakes to permit examination of such records at any time or from time to
time during business hours by examiners or other representatives of the SEC or
other authorities and offices having regulatory authority over the Trust or any
dealer of the Shares, and to furnish to such authorities and offices or the SEC
at the location specified by any of them copies of any or all of such records as
may be requested by any of them. Such records shall include the data and be
maintained in the form and for the time periods specified in Schedule A attached
hereto and incorporated herein by reference ("Schedule A"). Compliance by the
Agent with the record keeping requirements specified in Schedule A and such
reporting requirements, if any, as may be specified by the Trust, from time to
time, shall be deemed to satisfy fully any obligation of the Agent hereunder to
comply with Rules 17a-3 and 17a-4 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934
pursuant to which any dealer of the Shares must maintain certain records and
file reports or other documents. All such records maintained by the Agent
pursuant to this Section 10.2 of this Agreement shall be the property of such
dealer and will be made available for inspection and use by the Trust or such
dealer upon the request of either of them. If so requested by any such dealer,
the Agent shall confirm to such dealer its obligations under this Section 10.2
by a writing reasonably satisfactory to such dealer.
5

to time specify to the Agent, and the Trust and the Agent shall periodically
review, the records to be maintained and the procedures to be followed by the
Agent in complying with the foregoing Sections 10.1 and 10.2.

terminated or a successor to the Agent is appointed, or another party is engaged
by the Trust to provide some or all of the services enumerated in Section 2 of

designee as the Trust may direct a certified list of shareholders of the Trust
as to whom the Agent provides services hereunder (with name, address and tax
identification or Social Security number), a complete record of the account of
each such shareholder and the status thereof, and all other relevant books,
records, correspondence, and other data established or maintained by the Agent

obligations imposed in this Section 10 shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.
10.6 OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO AGREEMENT ONLY. Nothing in this

role hereunder, be required under applicable law to maintain the records
required to be maintained by it under this Section 10, but it is understood that
the Agent has agreed to do so in order to enable the Trust and its dealer or
dealers to comply with laws and regulations applicable to them.

hereunder and (b) not resulting from (i) the bad faith or negligence of the
Agent, its directors, officers, employees or agents, or (ii) any breach of
applicable law by the Agent, its directors, officers, employees or agents, other

losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable counsel
fees and expenses) resulting from any Claim as a result of its acting in
accordance with any written instructions reasonably believed by the Agent to

by the Agent to have been genuine and signed, countersigned or executed by a

Trust and satisfactory to the Agent. The Agent may retain additional counsel at
its expense. Except with the prior written consent of the Trust, the Agent shall
not confess any Claim or make any compromise in any case in which the Trust will
be asked to indemnify the Agent.
12.2 INDEMNIFICATION OF THE TRUST. Without limiting the rights
of the Trust under applicable law, the Agent will indemnify and hold the Trust
harmless from all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including
reasonable fees and disbursements or counsel) from any Claim (a) resulting from
(i) the bad faith or negligence of the Agent, its directors, officers, employees
or agents, or (ii) any breach of applicable law by the Agent, its directors,
officers, employees or agents, other than any breach of applicable law due
solely and directly to the Agent's proper reliance upon an action or omission by
the Trust or its agents or contractors which constitutes a breach of applicable
law by the Trust or its agents or contractors or (iii) any action of the Agent,
its directors, officers, employees or agents which exceeds the legal authority
of the Agent or its authority hereunder, or (iv) any error or omission of the
Agent, its directors, officers, employees or agents with respect to the
purchase, redemption and transfer of Customers' Shares or the Agent's
verification of any Customer signature on check writing drafts, and (b) not
resulting from the Agent's actions in accordance with written instructions
reasonably believed by the Agent to have been executed by any person duly
authorized by the Trust, or in reliance upon any instrument or stock certificate
reasonably believed by the Agent to have been genuine and signed, countersigned
or executed by a person duly authorized by the Trust.
In any case in which the Agent may be asked to indemnify or hold
the Trust harmless, the Agent shall be advised of all pertinent facts concerning
the situation in question and the Trust shall use reasonable care to identify
and notify the Agent promptly concerning any situation which presents or appears
likely to present a claim for indemnification against the Agent. The Agent shall
have the option to defend the Trust against any Claim which may be the subject
of indemnification hereunder. In the event that the Agent elects to defend
against such Claim, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the
Agent and reasonably satisfactory to the Trust. The Trust may retain additional
counsel at its expense. Except with the prior written consent of the Agent, the
Trust shall not confess
7
any Claim or make any compromise in any case in which the Agent will be asked to
indemnify the Trust.
12.3 SURVIVAL OF INDEMNITIES. The indemnities granted by the
parties in this Section 12 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
