liabilities or
expenses of any sort or kind (including reasonable counsel

the Indemnifying Party shall be advised of all pertinent
facts concerning the situation in question.  The
Indemnified Party will notify the Indemnifying Party
promptly after identifying any situation which it believes
presents or appears likely to present a claim for
indemnification against the Indemnifying Party although the
failure to do so shall not prevent recovery by the
Indemnified Party.  The Indemnifying Party shall have the
option to defend the Indemnified Party against any Claim
which may be the subject of this indemnification, and, in
the event that the Indemnifying Party so elects, such
defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the
Indemnifying Party and satisfactory to the Indemnified
Party, and thereupon the Indemnifying Party shall take over
complete defense of the Claim and the Indemnified Party
shall sustain no further legal or other expenses in respect
of such Claim.  The Indemnified Party will not confess any
Claim or make any compromise in any case in which the
Indemnifying Party will be asked to provide
indemnification, except with the Indemnifying Party's prior
written consent.  The obligations of the parties hereto
under this Section shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

identification.  The Transfer Agent or its agent shall
further maintain a stop transfer record on lost and/or
replaced certificates.

     5.  Sales of Shares
          (a)  Suspension of Sale of Shares.  The Transfer
Agent or its agent shall not be required to issue any
Shares of the Fund where it has received a Written
Instruction from the Fund or official notice from any
appropriate authority that the sale of the Shares of the
Fund has been suspended or discontinued.  The existence of
such Written Instructions or such official notice shall be
conclusive evidence of the right of the Transfer Agent or
its agent to rely on such Written Instructions or official
notice.
          (b)  Returned Checks.  In the event that any
check or other order for the payment of money is returned
unpaid for any reason, the Transfer Agent or its agent
will:  (i) give prompt notice of such return to the Fund
or its designee; (ii) place a stop transfer order against
all
Shares issued as a result of such check or order; and
(iii) take such actions as the Transfer Agent may from

     6.  Transfer and Repurchase

          (a)  Requirements for Transfer or Repurchase of

requests to transfer or redeem Shares in accordance with
the transfer or repurchase procedures set forth in the
Fund's Prospectus.

          The Transfer Agent or its agent will transfer or
repurchase Shares upon receipt of Oral or Written
Instructions or otherwise pursuant to the Prospectus and
Share certificates, if any, properly endorsed for transfer
or redemption, accompanied by such documents as the
Transfer Agent or its agent reasonably may deem necessary.

          The Transfer Agent or its agent reserves the
right to refuse to transfer or repurchase Shares until it
is satisfied that the endorsement on the instructions is
valid and genuine.  The Transfer Agent or its agent also
reserves the right to refuse to transfer or repurchase
Shares until it is satisfied that the requested transfer
or repurchase is legally authorized, and it shall incur no
liability for the refusal, in good faith, to make
transfers or repurchases which the Transfer Agent or its
agent, in its good judgement, deems improper or
unauthorized, or until it is reasonably satisfied that
there is no basis to any claims adverse to such transfer
or repurchase.

          (b)  Notice to Custodian and Fund.  When Shares
are redeemed, the Transfer Agent or its agent shall, upon
receipt of the instructions and documents in proper form,
deliver to the Custodian and the Fund or its designee a
notification setting forth the number of Shares to be
repurchased.  Such repurchased shares shall be reflected
on appropriate accounts maintained by the Transfer Agent
or its agent reflecting outstanding Shares of the Fund and
Shares attributed to individual accounts.

          (c)  Payment of Repurchase Proceeds.  The
Transfer Agent or its agent shall, upon receipt of the
moneys paid to it by the Custodian for the repurchase of
Shares, pay such moneys as are received from the
Custodian, all in accordance with the procedures described
in the written instruction received by the Transfer Agent
or its agent from the Fund.

          The Transfer Agent or its agent shall not
process or effect any repurchase with respect to Shares of
the Fund after receipt by the Transfer Agent or its agent
of notification of the suspension of the determination of
the net asset value of the Fund.

     7.  Dividends

          (a)  Notice to Agent and Custodian.  Upon the

distribution by the Board of Directors of the Fund with
respect to Shares of the Fund, the Fund shall furnish or
cause to be furnished to the Transfer Agent or its agent a
copy of a resolution of the Fund's Board of Directors
certified by the Secretary of the Fund setting forth the
date of the declaration of such dividend or distribution,
the ex-dividend date, the date of payment thereof, the
record date as of which shareholders entitled to payment
shall be determined, the amount payable per Share to the
shareholders of record as of that date, the total amount
payable to the Transfer Agent or its agent on the payment
date and whether such dividend or distribution is to be
paid in Shares of such class at net asset value.
          On or before the payment date specified in such
resolution of the Board of Directors, the Custodian of the
Fund will pay to the Transfer Agent sufficient cash to
make payment to the shareholders of record as of such
payment date.
          (b)  Insufficient Funds for Payments.  If the
Transfer Agent or its agent does not receive sufficient
cash from the Custodian to make total dividend and/or
distribution payments to all shareholders of the Fund as
of the record date, the Transfer Agent or its agent will,
upon notifying the Fund, withhold payment to all
Shareholders of record as of the record date until
sufficient cash is provided to the Transfer Agent or its
agent.
