BACKGROUND:

A.	The Trust is registered as an open-end management investment company under the 1940 Act (as defined in Schedule B hereto).

B.	The Trust and PFPC (formerly, First Data Investor Services Group, Inc.) were parties to an Investment Company Services Agreement dated October 1, 1997, as amended (the “Superseded Agreement”), which is hereby terminated as of the date of this Agreement.

The Trust wishes to continue to retain PFPC to provide fund accounting and administration, regulatory administration and transfer agent services to its investment portfolios listed on Schedule A attached hereto and made a part hereof (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), as such Schedule A may be amended from time to time, and PFPC wishes to continue to furnish such services.

The Trust desires that, in accordance with Schedule C hereto, PFPC use the Fair Value Prices (as defined in Section 2.2 below) that are provided by a third-party pricing vendor selected by the Trust from time to time (“Pricing Vendor”) in connection with certain foreign equity securities, and subject to the terms of this Agreement, PFPC is willing to receive and use such Fair Value Prices from the Pricing Vendor.

E.	This Background section and all of the Schedules to this Agreement are hereby incorporated by reference in and made a part of this Agreement.

TERMS:

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and the mutual covenants herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby the parties hereto agree as follows:

1.	Definitions. Capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the respective meanings as set forth on Schedule B hereto.

2.	Appointment.

2.1

PFPC acknowledges such appointment and agrees to continue to furnish such services described herein and on Schedules C and D hereto (the “Services”). In addition, PFPC shall provide to the Funds the internet access services as set forth on Schedule E attached hereto and made a part hereof, as such Schedule E may be amended from time to time.

2.2

Fair Valuation Services. The Trust has entered into an agreement with the Pricing Vendor for the Pricing Vendor to provide fair value prices (“Fair Value Prices”) to PFPC for the relevant foreign equity securities that meet the parameters set forth in the Trust’s Pricing Policies, as amended from time to time (the “Pricing Policies”). A copy of the current Pricing Policies has been provided to PFPC. The Trust will promptly notify PFPC in writing of any material changes to the Pricing Policies and will promptly provide PFPC with a copy of the amended Pricing Policies reflecting those changes. The Trust will also notify PFPC in writing if it desires to select a different Pricing Vendor, and the parties will work together in good faith to determine, as between the Trust and PFPC, (i) whether additional compensation to PFPC is necessary in light of the new Pricing Vendor, and (ii) if applicable, the terms and fees of such additional compensation. The parties further agree that the Trust shall at no time be required to obtain PFPC’s consent to the selection of a different Pricing Vendor, with the understanding that at no time will be PFPC required perform the fair valuation services if the Trust selects a Pricing Vendor for which PFPC does not then-currently have in effect all necessary (i) contractual arrangements and (ii) interconnectivity.

Unless the Trust directs PFPC otherwise by Written Instructions, the Trust hereby authorizes and instructs PFPC to: (a) under the circumstances set forth on Schedule D, receive from the Pricing Vendor Fair Value Prices (in a format reasonably required by PFPC) for each of the Funds and (b) under the circumstances set forth on Schedule D, use such Fair Value Prices that PFPC receives by the Cut-Off Time (as defined in Schedule D) in all relevant calculations (e.g., NAV, etc.) for the Funds. PFPC agrees to perform the foregoing services and provide reports to the Trust’s Board of Trustees as specified in Schedule D. The Trust shall provide PFPC with at least ten (10) business day’s written notice of any change to Schedule A.

The Trust understands and agrees that PFPC will not be able to employ its standard review process to the Fair Value Prices and that PFPC shall have no obligation to inquire into, verify, or otherwise analyze the accuracy or reasonableness of any of the Fair Value Prices it receives except for PFPC’s duties that are set forth in Schedule D. Except for PFPC’s duties that are set forth in Schedule D, the Trust hereby assumes all responsibility for verifying the accuracy and reasonableness of the Fair Value Prices and the appropriateness of the Funds’ use of Fair Value Prices, regardless of any efforts of PFPC in this respect. The Trust hereby represents and warrants that the Trust’s Pricing Committee (the “Pricing Committee”) has evaluated and approved the use of the Pricing Vendor’s Fair Value Prices for each of the Funds and believes such use to be consistent with (a) the Pricing Policies and (b) the registration statement(s) of the Funds. The Trust acknowledges that security-specific fair value determinations must be made by the Trust and/or the Pricing Committee, and are not made by PFPC.

Compliance with Rules and Regulations. PFPC undertakes to comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Laws, and any laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction with respect to the duties to be performed by PFPC hereunder. Except as specifically set forth herein, PFPC assumes no responsibility for such compliance by the Trust, the Funds or other entity.

4.3

The Trust agrees to forward to PFPC Written Instructions confirming Oral Instructions (except where such Oral Instructions are given by PFPC or its affiliates) so that PFPC receives the Written Instructions by the close of business on the same day that such Oral Instructions are received.

Section 1. PRICING PROCEDURES

For each Fund on each relevant day, PFPC will calculate the relevant trigger or triggers, as the case may be, all in accordance with the procedures found under the heading titled “Fair Valuation by Pricing Service” of Section IV of the Trust’s Pricing Policies, as amended from time to time (the “Pricing Policies”), a copy of which shall be provided to PFPC pursuant to Section 2.2 of the Agreement. When a pre-selected trigger is not available for any reason, PFPC will in good faith select an alternate trigger as provided in the Trust's Pricing Policies for such calculations. PFPC will also calculate whether the relevant trigger decreases or increases by more than the percentage set forth in the Trust's Pricing Policies (in absolute value without rounding) (the “Threshold”). The Trust may change the level of the Threshold by providing PFPC with at least ten (10) business day’s written notice.

The Trust has instructed or will instruct the Pricing Vendor to provide Fair Value Prices that have met the Confidence Levels established by the Trust (as defined in the Pricing Policies) to PFPC each business day prior to the Cut-Off Time (as defined in Section 3 below). When the Threshold on the relevant trade date has been met, and Fair Value Prices for that date are received by PFPC in accordance with Section 3 below, PFPC shall use those Fair Value Prices in all relevant calculations (e.g., NAV, etc.) for the Funds with respect to that trade date.

Section 2. FOREIGN MARKET HOLIDAYS

The pricing procedures found under the heading titled “Fair Valuation by Pricing Service” of Section IV of the Pricing Policies will be utilized if a foreign market is closed due to holiday.

Section 3. FAIR VALUATION CUTOFF

In the event that PFPC does not receive Fair Value Prices from the Pricing Vendor by 5:15 p.m. Eastern time on the relevant trade date (the “Cut-Off Time”), the prices of foreign equity securities will be determined in accordance with the Trust’s current security valuation procedures specified in the Pricing Policies (excluding methodologies that contemplate Fair Value Prices from a Pricing Vendor). The Cut-Off time applies only to the fair valuation of foreign equity securities as outlined in this Schedule, not to any other fair valuation determinations made in accordance with the Pricing Policies.

Section 4. QUARTERLY BOARD REPORTING

PFPC shall provide the Trust with the following information on a quarterly basis:

A report identifying the number of days that Fair Value Prices were utilized during the last quarter.
