Exhibit (h)(4)
SECOND AMENDMENT
TO THE AGENCY AGREEMENT
This Amendment is made as of the 13th day of March, 2006, to the Agency
Agreement listed on Schedule A (the "Agreement") between the Fund listed
thereon, on behalf of the Series listed thereon (collectively the "Funds"
and each separately a "Fund"), and DWS ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Investments Service Company
("Service Company").
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises set forth and for
other good and valuable consideration, the parties hereby agree to amend
the Agreement as follows:
1. The following is hereby inserted as a new Section 5 D:
Reference is made herein to the January 15, 2003 agreement, by and
between DST SYSTEMS, INC. ("DST") and DWS ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ INVESTMENTS SERVICE
COMPANY ("DWS-SISC") and all subsequent amendments to that agreement
("DST Agreement"). The DST Agreement provides for the fulfillment of
DWS-SISC's transfer agency services outlined in this Agreement by DST
and delegated pursuant to Section 21 C of this Agreement. Exhibit D of
the DST Agreement provides for certain service level bonuses and
liquidated damages based on the quality of services provided. The
parties agree that all liquidated damage payments made by DST to
DWS-SISC or its affiliates in respect of the Fund pursuant to Sections
C or D of Exhibit D of the DST Agreement shall be passed through to
the Fund, and that all bonus payments payable by DWS-SISC in respect
of the Fund pursuant to Section E of Exhibit D of the DST Agreement
shall be an obligation of, and borne by, the Fund. The standards for
these payments will be negotiated as provided for in Section of
Exhibit D of the DST Agreement. All payments made pursuant to this
amendment shall be charged or credited to the funds based on the
relative number of accounts subject to the Annual Per Account Fee
under the Retail and ▇▇▇ Account Fee Schedule, except omnibus accounts
and Matrix Level III accounts. The Retail and ▇▇▇ Account Fee Schedule
does not cover wholesale money funds and is to be distinguished from
the Retirement Account Fee Schedule. The number of accounts will be
measured on the last day of the period with respect to which the
charge or credit is to be assessed. DWS-SISC shall report to the Board
of the Fund at least annually regarding any adjustments to anticipated
call volumes, and shall report to the Fund as least semi-annually
regarding any liquidated damage payments or bonus payments paid to or
by the Fund, as the case may be.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Agreement to be executed by
their respective duly authorized officer as of the day and year first set forth
above.
