AGREEMENT  SHALL BE GOVERNED BY THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK  APPLICABLE TO
AGREEMENTS  MADE AND TO BE  PERFORMED  IN NEW YORK and shall not be  assigned by
either party, but shall bind the successors in interest of Customer and Bank. To
the extent that in any  jurisdiction  Customer or Bank may now or  hereafter  be
entitled to claim,  for itself or its  assets,  immunity  from suit,  execution,
attachment (before or after judgment) or other legal process,  Customer or Bank,
as the case may be,  irrevocably  shall not claim,  and it hereby  waives,  such
immunity.  The captions given to the sections and  subsections of this Agreement
are for  convenience  of reference only and are not to be used to interpret this
Agreement.

     (b) Entire Agreement.  This Agreement consists exclusively of this document
(including  Appendix A). There are no other provisions hereof and this Agreement
supersedes any other  agreements,  whether written or oral,  between the parties
and relating to the matters discussed herein; provided,  however, that where the
provisions of the Custody  Agreement are not inconsistent with the provisions of
this  Agreement,the  provisions  of the Custody  Agreement  shall  control;  and
provided  further,  that (i) the limitations on Bank's liability with respect to
the acts or omissions of securities  depositories  contained in Section 14(d) of
the Custody Agreement shall control; and (ii) the standard of care applicable to
Bank as set forth in Section 3(a) of this Agreement, rather than the standard of
care  applicable  to Bank  under  the  Custody  Agreement,  shall  control.  Any
amendment hereto must be in writing, executed by both parties.

     (c) Severability.  In the event that one or more provisions hereof are held
invalid,  illegal or unenforceable in any respect on the basis of any particular
circumstances or in any jurisdiction,  the validity, legality and enforceability
of  such  provision  or  provisions  under  other   circumstances  or  in  other
jurisdictions  and of the remaining  provisions shall not in any way be affected
or impaired.

     (d) Waiver. Except as otherwise provided herein, no failure or delay on the
part of either party in exercising  any power or right  hereunder  operates as a
waiver,  nor does any single or partial  exercise of any power or right preclude
any other or further  exercise,  or the exercise of any other power or right. No
waiver by a party of any provision  hereof,  or waiver of any breach or default,
is effective  unless in writing and signed by the party  against whom the waiver
is to be enforced.

     (e)  Notices.  All  notices  hereunder  shall be  effective  when  actually
received.  Any notices or other  communications  which may be required hereunder
are to be sent to the parties at the following addresses or such other addresses
as may subsequently be given to the other party in writing:  (a) Bank:  JPMorgan
Chase Bank, N.A., 4 Chase MetroTech  Center,  Brooklyn,  N.Y. 11245,  Attention:
Craig Prentiss, Vice President, Global Investor Services,  Investment Management
Group; and (b) Customer: [Name of Customer], c/o Capital Research and Management
Company,  Attention:  Thomas M. Rowland, Senior Vice President,  135 South State
College Boulevard, Brea, CA 92821-5804; with a copy to: Stuart R. Strachan, Vice
President and Senior Counsel,  Capital Research and Management  Company,  333 S.
Hope Street, 55th Floor, Los Angeles, CA 90071.

     (f)  Termination.  This  Agreement  may be  terminated  as to  one or  more
Portfolios by Customer or Bank by giving sixty (60) days' written  notice to the
other,  provided that such notice to Bank shall specify the names of the persons
to whom Bank shall  deliver the Assets  belonging to the affected  Portfolios in
the Accounts.  If notice of termination is given by Bank, Customer shall, within
sixty (60) days following  receipt of the notice,  deliver to Bank  Instructions
specifying  the names of the  persons  to whom Bank  shall  deliver  the  Assets
belonging  to the  affected  Portfolios.  In either case Bank shall  deliver the
Assets belonging to the affected  Portfolios to the persons so specified,  after
deducting any amounts which Bank determines in good faith to be owed to it under
Section  15.  If  within  sixty  (60)  days  following  receipt  of a notice  of
termination by Bank, Bank does not receive Instructions from Customer specifying
the names of the persons to whom Bank shall deliver the Assets  belonging to the
affected Portfolios, Bank, at its election, may deliver such Assets to a bank or
trust company doing business in the State of New York to be held and disposed of
pursuant to the provisions hereof, or to Authorized  Persons, or may continue to
hold such Assets  until  Instructions  are  provided to Bank.  For  avoidance of
doubt,  each  Customer,  Portfolio  or the Bank  may  terminate  this  Agreement
pursuant to its provisions and the Agreement  shall survive such  termination in
respect of the remaining Customers and Portfolios that have not so terminated or
been terminated.

     (g)  Representative  Capacity;  Non-recourse  Obligations.  A  COPY  OF THE
DECLARATION  OF TRUST OR OTHER  ORGANIZATIONAL  DOCUMENT OF EACH  CUSTOMER IS ON
FILE WITH THE SECRETARY OF STATE OF THE STATE OF THE CUSTOMER'S  FORMATION,  AND
NOTICE IS HEREBY  GIVEN THAT THIS  AGREEMENT  IS NOT  EXECUTED  ON BEHALF OF THE
TRUSTEES OF ANY CUSTOMER AS  INDIVIDUALS,  AND THE OBLIGATIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT
ARE NOT BINDING UPON ANY OF THE TRUSTEES, OFFICERS,  SHAREHOLDERS OR PARTNERS OF
ANY FUND INDIVIDUALLY, BUT ARE BINDING ONLY UPON THE ASSETS AND PROPERTY OF EACH
CUSTOMER'S  RESPECTIVE  PORTFOLIOS.  BANK AGREES THAT NO  SHAREHOLDER,  TRUSTEE,
OFFICER OR PARTNER OF ANY FUND MAY BE HELD PERSONALLY  LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR
ANY OBLIGATIONS OF ANY CUSTOMER ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.

     (h) Several Obligations of each Customer and Portfolio. With respect to any
obligations of a customer on behalf of any of its Portfolios arising OUT OF THIS
AGREEMENT,  Bank shall look for payment or  satisfaction  of any such obligation
solely to THE ASSETS AND  PROPERTY  OF THE  Portfolio  TO WHICH SUCH  obligation
relates as though that CUSTOMER had separately  contracted with Bank by separate
written  agreement  with  respect  to EACH OF ITS  PORTFOLIOS.  The  rights  and
benefits to which a given Portfolio is entitled  hereunder shall be solely those
of such Portfolio and no other Portfolio hereunder shall receive such benefits.


     IN WITNESS  WHEREOF,  each of the  Customers  and Bank have  executed  this
Agreement as of the date  first-written  above.  Execution of this  Agreement by
more  than one  Customer  shall not  create a  contractual  or other  obligation
between or among such Customers (or between or

among  their  respective  Portfolios)  and this  Agreement  shall  constitute  a
separate agreement between Bank and each Customer on behalf of itself or each of
its Portfolios.
