WHEREAS, the Trust is engaged in business as an open-end investment company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Investment Company Act”); and

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the covenants contained in this Agreement, the Trust, each Fund, and the Administrator agree as follows:

|   | 1. | *Appointment and Services*. |

Unless otherwise agreed, any fee            reduction or undertaking may be discontinued or modified by the Administrator at any time. For the month and year in which this Agreement becomes effective or terminates, there will be an appropriate pro ration of any fee based on the number of days that the Agreement is in effect during such month and year, respectively.

(c)       The Administrator will not be required to pay expenses of any activity which is primarily intended to result in the sale of shares of a Fund if and to the extent that (i) such expenses are required to be borne by a principal underwriter which acts as the distributor of a Fund’s shares pursuant to an underwriting agreement which            provides that the underwriter shall assume some or all of such expenses, or (ii) the Trust on behalf of a Fund will have adopted a plan in conformity with Rule 12b-1 under the Investment Company Act providing that a Fund (or some other party) will assume some or all of such expenses.

(c)       At any time the Administrator may apply to any officer of a Fund for instructions, and may consult with legal counsel for a Fund, at the expense of the Fund, with respect to any matter arising in connection with this Agreement; and it will not be liable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in reliance            upon such instructions or upon the advice of such counsel. The Administrator is authorized to act on the orders, directions or instructions of such persons as the Board of Trustees from time to time designates by resolution.

Proper Instructions may include            communications effected directly between electro-mechanical or electronic devices as from time to time agreed to by an authorized officer of a Fund and the Administrator.

|   | 6. | *Term and Termination*. |
|--------|----|-------------------------|

(a)       This Agreement will remain in force until September 30, 2006 and continue in force from year to year thereafter, but only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the vote of a majority of the Trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or “interested persons” of any            party to this Agreement.

(b)       This Agreement will automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. Either party to this Agreement may terminate this Agreement or any Service under this Agreement without penalty by an instrument in writing delivered or mailed to the other party. A Fund may effect a termination under this Agreement by a vote            of (i) a majority of the Trustees of the Fund who are not interested persons of the Fund and who have no direct or indirect financial interest in the operation of this Agreement or in any other agreement related to this Agreement or (ii) a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. Any termination under this Section will take effect not sooner than sixty (60) days after the date of delivery or mailing of such notice of termination, unless a Fund terminates this            Agreement or Service under this Agreement due to a material failure of the Administrator to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement or with respect to the Service, in which case the termination will take effect immediately. Upon termination, the Administrator (or any designee of the Administrator) will turn over to the Trust or its designee, and cease to be obligated to retain in the Administrator’s files, any and all records pertaining to the terminated Services under            this Agreement; provided, however, the Administrator (or its designee) in its discretion may make and retain copies of any and all such records and documents that it determines appropriate or for its protection.

7.         *Amendment.*This Agreement, including any Schedule or Appendix to this Agreement, may be amended at any time by mutual agreement of the parties.

8.         *Services Not Exclusive*. The Administrator's services pursuant to this Agreement are not exclusive, and it is understood that the Administrator may perform similar services for other persons. In acting under this Agreement, the Administrator will be an independent contractor            and not an agent of the Trust or the Funds. The Administrator and its affiliates, by separate agreement with the Trust or a Fund, may also serve the Trust or a Fund in other capacities.

9.         *Other Interests.*It is understood that the Trustees and Officers of the Trust and the shareholders of the Funds are or may be or become interested in the Administrator or its affiliates as directors, officers, employees, shareholders or otherwise and that directors, officers,            employees and shareholders of the Administrator and its affiliates are or may be or become similarly interested in the Funds, and that the Administrator and its affiliates may be or become interested in the Funds as shareholder or otherwise. It is also understood that directors, officers, employees and shareholders of the Administrator and its affiliates may be or become interested (as directors, officers, employees, shareholders or otherwise) in other companies or entities            (including but not limited to, other investment companies) controlling, controlled by or under common control with the Administrator, its affiliates or subsidiaries or which the Administrator, its affiliates or subsidiaries may in the future organize, sponsor or acquire, or with which they may merge or consolidate.

|   | 10. | *Limited Recourse*. |
|--------|-----|---------------------|

(a)       With respect to any claim by the Administrator for recovery of that portion of any fees or reimbursable expenses (or any other liability of a Fund arising under this Agreement) related to a particular series and class of a Fund, whether in accordance with the express terms of this Agreement or otherwise, the            Administrator will have recourse solely against the assets of that series and class to satisfy the claim and will have no recourse against the assets of any other series and class of any Fund.

 

(b)          The Trust's Declaration of Trust, as amended from time-to-time (the “Declaration”), a copy of which, together with all amendments thereto, is on file in the Office of the Secretary of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, provides that the name “DWS Securities Trust” refers to            the Trustees under the Declaration collectively as Trustees and not as individuals or personally, and that no shareholder of a Fund, or Trustee, officer, employee, or agent of the Trust, will be subject to claims against or obligations of the Trust or of the Fund to any extent whatsoever, but that the Trust estate only will be liable.

 

(c)       The Administrator is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of liability as set forth in the Declaration and it agrees that the obligations assumed by the Trust on behalf of each Fund pursuant to this Agreement will be limited in all cases to a Fund and its assets, and it will not seek satisfaction of any            such obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of the Fund or any other series of the Trust, or from any Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust. The Administrator understands that the

rights and obligations of each Fund, or series, under the Declaration are separate and distinct from those of any and all other series.

11.       *Internal Controls*.       The Administrator will maintain sufficient policies and procedures to reasonably ensure its ability to perform the services under this Agreement, and will monitor compliance with its policies and procedures.

|   | 12. | *Miscellaneous*. |
|--------|-----|------------------|

(a)        The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or limit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all            of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

(b)        In interpreting the provisions of this Agreement, the definitions under the Investment Company Act (particularly the definitions of “interested person,” “affiliated person,” “assignment” and “majority of the outstanding voting securities”) will be applied,            subject, however, to such exemptions as may be granted by the SEC by any rule, regulation, or order.

(c)       In connection with the operation of this Agreement, the Trust and the Administrator may agree from time to time on interpretations of or in addition to the provisions of this Agreement as in their joint opinions may be consistent with this Agreement. Any such interpretive or additional provisions will be in writing,            signed by both parties and annexed, but no such provisions will be deemed to be an amendment of this Agreement.

(d)       If the Administrator is prevented from complying, either totally or in part, with any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, by reason of fire, flood, storm, strike, lockout or other labor trouble, riot, war, rebellion, accidents, acts of God, acts of terrorism, equipment, utility or transmission failure or            damage, and/or any other cause or casualty beyond the reasonable control of the Administrator, whether similar to the foregoing matters or not, then, upon written notice to a Fund, the requirements of this Agreement that are affected by such disability, to the extent so affected, will be suspended during the period of such disability; provided, however, that the Administrator will make reasonable effort to remove such disability as soon as possible.

(e)       This Agreement will be governed and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts applicable to agreements made and to be performed entirely in that jurisdiction, without regard to that jurisdiction’s conflict of laws provisions, provided that nothing in this Agreement will be            construed in a manner inconsistent with the Investment Company Act, or in a manner which would cause a Fund to fail to comply with the requirements of Subchapter M of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

(f)        This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter, and supersedes any and all prior understandings.

(g)       If any provision of this Agreement is held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder will not be affected.

(h)       Any notice required under this Agreement will be sufficiently given when delivered or mailed to the other party at the address of such party set out below or to such other persons or at such address as such party may from time to time specify in writing to the other party.

APPENDIX C

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AND FUND ACCOUNTING SERVICES FEE SCHEDULE

The Trust on behalf of each Fund will pay the Administrator in United States Dollars following the last day of each month the unpaid balance of a fee equal to the sum of all the daily administrative service fee accruals from the previous month. The daily administrative service fee accrual is calculated on a daily basis by multiplying a Fund’s prior day’s net assets by the specific            percentage indicated in the schedule below and dividing that product by the number of days in that year. The Administrator will be entitled to receive during any month such interim payments of its fee under this Agreement as it will request, provided that no such payment will exceed 75 percent of the amount of its fee then accrued on the books of a Fund and unpaid.

The “average daily net assets” of each Fund will mean the average of the values placed on the Fund's net assets as of 4:00 p.m. (New York time) on each day on which the net asset value of the Fund is determined consistent with the provisions of Rule 22c-1 under the Investment Company Act or, if the Fund lawfully determines the value of its net assets as of some other time on each business            day, as of such time. The value of the net assets of each Fund will always be determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of the Trust's Declaration, as amended from time-to-time and the Registration Statement. If the determination of net asset value for a Fund does not take place for any particular day, then for the purposes of this Agreement, the value of the net assets of the Fund as last determined will be deemed to be the value of its net assets as of 4:00 p.m. (New York            time), or as of such other time as the value of the net assets of the Fund's portfolio may be lawfully determined on that day. If a Fund determines the value of the net assets of its portfolio more than once on any day, then the last such determination thereof on that day will be deemed to be the sole determination thereof on that day for the purposes of this Agreement.
