AMENDED SCHEDULE A
▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Investment Management Company
▇▇▇ ▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
Dear Sirs:
FRIC is redesignating its Premier Adviser Class shares as Premier Class
shares. ▇▇▇▇'s previously authorized Premier Institutional Class shares are
being redesignated as Class E shares.
Additionally, in connection with these changes, pursuant to Sections 25 and
26 of the Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agency Agreement between ▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Investment Company (the "Investment Company") and ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇
Investment Management Company, dated April 1, 1988, FRIC advises you that it is
creating new classes of shares for certain of its Funds, as follows:
New Class C shares of the Fixed Income II Fund (which is being renamed
Short Term Bond Fund) and
New Class C shares and new Class E shares of the Limited Volatility Tax
Free Fund (which is being renamed Tax Exempt Bond Fund).
FRIC desires ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Investment Management Company to serve as the
Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent with respect to such Class of each
applicable Fund pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Transfer and
Dividend Disbursing Agency Agreement. FRIC also desires to amend Schedule A of
the Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agency Agreement to add each such Class of
the Funds and to reflect the applicable changes in designations. The fees to be
charged by the Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent to each Fund in return for
its services are the same as those set forth in the Transfer and Dividend
Disbursing Agency Agreement.
Please indicate your acceptance to act as Transfer and Dividend Disbursing Agent
with respect to such Class of shares of the Funds and of the amendment of
Schedule A by executing the acceptance copy of this letter agreement and
returning it to the undersigned.
Sincerely,
▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ INVESTMENT COMPANY
