3. DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES OF CUSTODIAN.
A. DELIVERY OF ASSETS
Except as permitted by the 1940 Act, Fund will deliver or cause to be
delivered to Custodian on the effective date of this Agreement, or as
soon thereafter as practicable, and from time to time thereafter, all
portfolio securities acquired by it and monies then owned by it or
from time to time coming into its possession during the time this
Agreement shall continue in effect. Custodian shall have no
responsibility or liability whatsoever for or on account of securities
or monies not so delivered.
B. DELIVERY OF ACCOUNTS AND RECORDS
Fund shall turn over or cause to be turned over to Custodian all of
the Fund's relevant accounts and records previously maintained.
Custodian shall be entitled to rely conclusively on the completeness
and correctness of the accounts and records turned over to it, and
Fund shall indemnify and hold Custodian harmless of and from any and
all expenses, damages and losses whatsoever arising out of or in
connection with any error, omission, inaccuracy or other deficiency of
such accounts and records or in the failure of Fund to provide, or to
provide in a timely manner, any accounts, records or information
needed by the Custodian to perform its functions hereunder.
Page 3 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
C. DELIVERY OF ASSETS TO THIRD PARTIES
Custodian will receive delivery of and keep safely the assets of Fund
delivered to it from time to time segregated in a separate account,
and if Fund is comprised of more than one portfolio of investment
securities (each a "Portfolio") Custodian shall keep the assets of
each Portfolio segregated in a separate account. Custodian will not
deliver, assign, pledge or hypothecate any such assets to any person
except as permitted by the provisions of this Agreement or any
agreement executed by it according to the terms of Section 3.S. of
this Agreement. Upon delivery of any such assets to a subcustodian
pursuant to Section 3.S. of this Agreement, Custodian will create and
maintain records identifying those assets which have been delivered to
the subcustodian as belonging to the Fund, by Portfolio if applicable.
The Custodian is responsible for the safekeeping of the securities and
monies of Fund only until they have been transmitted to and received
by other persons as permitted under the terms of this Agreement,
except for securities and monies transmitted to subcustodians
appointed under Section 3.S. of this Agreement, for which Custodian
remains responsible to the extent provided in Section 3.S. hereof.
Custodian may participate directly or indirectly through a
subcustodian in the Depository Trust Company (DTC), Treasury/Federal
Reserve Book Entry System (Fed System), Participant Trust Company
(PTC) or other depository approved by the Fund (as such entities are
defined at 17 CFR Section 270.17f-4(b)) (each a "Depository" and
collectively, the "Depositories").
D. REGISTRATION OF SECURITIES
Page 4 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
The Custodian shall at all times hold registered securities of the
Fund in the name of the Custodian, the Fund, or a nominee of either of
them, unless specifically directed by instructions to hold such
registered securities in so-called "street name," provided that, in
any event, all such securities and other assets shall be held in an
account of the Custodian containing only assets of the Fund, or only
assets held by the Custodian as a fiduciary or custodian for
customers, and provided further, that the records of the Custodian at
all times shall indicate the Fund or other customer for which such
securities and other assets are held in such account and the
respective interests therein. If, however, the Fund directs the
Custodian to maintain securities in "street name", notwithstanding
anything contained herein to the contrary, the Custodian shall be
obligated only to utilize its best efforts to timely collect income
due the Fund on such securities and to notify the Fund of relevant
corporate actions including, without limitation, pendency of calls,
maturities, tender or exchange offers. All securities, and the
ownership thereof by Fund, which are held by Custodian hereunder,
however, shall at all times be identifiable on the records of the
Custodian. The Fund agrees to hold Custodian and its nominee harmless
for any liability as a shareholder of record of securities held in
custody.
E. EXCHANGE OF SECURITIES
Upon receipt of instructions as defined herein in Section 4.A,
Custodian will exchange, or cause to be exchanged, portfolio
securities held by it for the account of Fund for other securities or
cash issued or paid in connection with any reorganization,
recapitalization, merger, consolidation, split-up of shares, change of
Page 5 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
par value, conversion or otherwise, and will deposit any such
securities in accordance with the terms of any reorganization or
protective plan. Without instructions, Custodian is authorized to
exchange securities held by it in temporary form for securities in
definitive form, to effect an exchange of shares when the par value of
the share is changed, and, upon receiving payment therefor, to
surrender bonds or other securities held by it at maturity or when
advised of earlier call for redemption, except that Custodian shall
receive instructions prior to surrendering any convertible security.
F. PURCHASES OF INVESTMENTS OF THE FUND - OTHER THAN 0PTIONS AND FUTURES.
Fund will, on each business day on which a purchase of securities
(other than options and futures) shall be made by it, deliver to
Custodian instructions which shall specify with respect to each such
purchase:

2. The name of the issuer and description of the security;
3. The number of shares and the principal amount purchased, and

In accordance with such instructions, Custodian will pay for out of
monies held for the account of Fund, but only insofar as such monies
are available for such purpose, and receive the portfolio securities
so purchased by or for the account of Fund, except that Custodian may
in its sole discretion advance funds to the Fund which may result in
an overdraft because the monies held by the Custodian on behalf of the
Fund are insufficient to pay the total amount payable upon such
purchase. Except as otherwise instructed by Fund, such payment shall
be made by the Custodian only upon receipt of securities: (a) by the
Custodian; (b) by a clearing corporation of a national exchange of
which the Custodian is a member; or (c) by a Depository.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) in the case of a repurchase
agreement, the Custodian may release funds to a Depository prior to
the receipt of advice from the Depository that the securities
underlying such repurchase agreement have been transferred by book-
entry into the account maintained with such Depository by the
Custodian, on behalf of its customers, provided that the Custodian's
instructions to the Depository require that the Depository make
payment of such funds only upon transfer by book-entry of the
securities underlying the repurchase agreement in such account; (ii)
in the case of time deposits, call account deposits, currency deposits
and other deposits, foreign exchange
Page 7 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
transactions, futures contracts or options, the Custodian may make
payment therefor before receipt of an advice or confirmation
evidencing said deposit or entry into such transaction; and (iii) in
the case of the purchase of securities, the settlement of which occurs
outside of the United States of America, the Custodian may make, or
cause a subcustodian appointed pursuant to Section 3.S.2. of this
Agreement to make, payment therefor in accordance with generally
accepted local custom and market practice.

deliver to Custodian instructions specifying with respect to each such
sale:

2. The name of the issuer and description of the securities;
3. The number of shares and principal amount sold, and accrued
interest, if any;
4. The date on which the securities sold were purchased or other
information identifying the securities sold and to be delivered;
5. The trade date;
6. The settlement date;
7. The sale price per unit and the brokerage commission, taxes or
other expenses payable in connection with such sale;

securities held in physical form, such securities shall be delivered
in accordance with "street delivery custom" to a broker or its
clearing agent; or (ii) in the case of the sale of securities, the
settlement of which occurs outside of the United States of America,
the Custodian may make, or cause a subcustodian appointed pursuant to
Section 3.S.2. of this Agreement to make, payment therefor in
accordance with generally accepted local custom and market practice.

accounts in the name of Custodian ("Accounts"), subject only to draft

Custodian such as strikes, lockouts or labor disputes, riots, war or
equipment or transmission failure or damage, fire, flood, earthquake
or other natural disaster, action or inaction of governmental
authority or other causes beyond its control, at 9:00 a.m., Kansas

other extraordinary action to enforce collection except upon receipt

the costs and expenses of such suit or other actions. Custodian will
receive, claim and collect all share dividends, rights and other
similar items and will deal with the same pursuant to instructions.
Unless prior instructions have been received to the contrary,
Custodian will,
Page 15 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
without further instructions, sell any rights held for the account of
Fund on the last trade date prior to the date of expiration of such
rights.

On the declaration of any dividend or other distribution on the shares
of beneficial interest of Fund ("Fund Shares") by the Trustees of
Fund, Fund shall deliver to Custodian instructions with respect
thereto. On the date specified in such instructions for the payment
of such dividend or other distribution, Custodian will pay out of the

Disbursing Agent for Fund, such amount as may be specified in such
instructions.

receipt of such advice, Custodian shall charge such aggregate dollar
amount to the account of Fund and either deposit the same in the
account maintained for the purpose of paying for the repurchase or
redemption of Fund Shares or deliver the same in accordance with such
advice. Custodian shall not have any duty or responsibility to
determine that Fund Shares have been removed from the proper
shareholder account or accounts or that the proper number of Fund
Shares have been cancelled and removed from the shareholder records.
0. SHARES OF FUND PURCHASED FROM FUND
Page 16 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
Whenever Fund Shares are purchased from Fund, Fund will deposit or
cause to be deposited with Custodian the amount received for such

or other authorizations as may be required. Except as provided by
this Agreement or pursuant to instructions hereafter received by
Custodian, neither it nor its nominee will exercise any power inherent

voting any of such securities, or give any consent, approval or waiver
with respect thereto, or take any other similar action.

Page 17 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
management fees, custodian fees, legal fees, auditors' fees, transfer

setting forth the name of the person to whom payment is to be made,
the amount of the payment, and the purpose of the payment.
R. DAILY STATEMENT OF ACCOUNTS
Custodian will, each business day, render to Fund a detailed statement
of the amounts received or paid and of securities received or
delivered for the account of Fund during each business day. Custodian
will, monthly and upon request by Fund, render a detailed statement of
the securities and monies held for Fund under this Agreement, and
Custodian will maintain such books and records as are necessary to
enable it to do so. Custodian will permit such persons as are
authorized by Fund, including Fund's independent public accountants,
reasonable access to such records or will provide reasonable
confirmation of the contents of such records, and if demanded,
Custodian will permit federal and state regulatory agencies to examine
the securities, books and records. Upon the written instructions of
Fund or as demanded by federal or state regulatory agencies, Custodian
will instruct any subcustodian to permit such persons as are
authorized by Fund, including Fund's independent public accountants,
reasonable access to such records or to provide reasonable
confirmation of the contents of such records, and to permit such
agencies to examine the books, records and securities held by such
subcustodian which relate to Fund.
Page 18 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
S. APPOINTMENT OF SUBCUSTODIANS
1. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, all or
any of the monies or securities of Fund may be held in
Custodian's own custody or in the custody of one or more other
banks or trust companies acting as subcustodians as may be
selected by Custodian. Any such subcustodian selected by the
Custodian must have the qualifications required for a Custodian
under the 1940 Act, as amended. Custodian shall be responsible
to the Fund for any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred
by the Fund resulting from the actions or omissions of any
subcustodians selected and appointed by Custodian (except
subcustodians appointed at the request of Fund and as provided in
Subsection 2 below) to the same extent Custodian would be
responsible to the Fund under Section 5. of this Agreement if it
committed the act or omission itself. Upon request of the Fund,
Custodian shall be willing to contract with other subcustodians
reasonably acceptable to the Custodian for purposes of (i)
effecting thirdparty repurchase transactions with banks, brokers,
dealers, or other entities through the use of a common custodian
or subcustodian, or (ii) providing depository and clearing agency
services with respect to certain variable rate demand note
securities, or (iii) for other reasonable purposes specified by
Fund; provided, however, that the Custodian shall be responsible
to the Fund for any loss, damage or expense suffered or incurred
by the Fund resulting from the actions or omissions of any such
subcustodian only to the
Page 19 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
same extent such subcustodian is responsible to the Custodian.
The Fund shall be entitled to review the Custodian's contracts
with any such subcustodians appointed at the request of Fund.
Custodian shall be responsible to the Fund for any loss, damage
or expense suffered or incurred by the Fund resulting from the
actions or omissions of any Depository only to the same extent
such Depository is responsible to Custodian.
2. Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, Fund's
foreign securities (as defined in Rule 17f-5(c)(1) under the ▇▇▇▇
▇▇▇) and Fund's cash or cash equivalents, in amounts deemed by
the Fund to be reasonably necessary to effect Fund's foreign
securities transactions, may be held in the custody of one or
more banks or trust companies acting as subcustodians, and
thereafter, pursuant to a written contract or contracts as
approved by Fund's Trustees, may be transferred to accounts
maintained by any such subcustodian with eligible foreign
custodians, as defined in Rule 17f-5(c)(2). Custodian shall be
responsible to the Fund for any loss, damage or expense suffered
or incurred by the Fund resulting from the actions or omissions
of any foreign subcustodians only to the same extent the foreign
subcustodian is liable to the domestic subcustodian with which
the Custodian contracts for foreign subcustody purposes.
T. ACCOUNTS AND RECORDA
Custodian will prepare and maintain, with the direction and as
interpreted by the Fund, Fund's accountants and/or other advisors, in
complete, accurate and current
Page 20 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
form all accounts and records (i) required to be maintained by Fund
with respect to portfolio transactions under Rule 31a of the 1940 Act,
(ii) required to be maintained as a basis for calculation of the
Fund's net asset value, and (iii) as otherwise agreed upon between the
parties. Custodian will preserve said records in the manner and for
the periods prescribed in the 1940 Act or for such longer period as is
agreed upon by the parties. Custodian relies upon Fund to furnish, in
writing or its electronic or digital equivalent, accurate and timely
information needed by Custodian to complete Fund's records and perform
daily calculation of the Fund's net asset value. Custodian shall
incur no liability and Fund shall indemnify and hold harmless
Custodian from and against any liability arising from any failure of
Fund to furnish such information in a timely and accurate manner, even
if Fund subsequently provides accurate but untimely information. It
shall be the responsibility of Fund to furnish Custodian with the
declaration, record and payment dates and amounts of any dividends or
income and any other special actions required concerning each of its
securities when such information is not readily available from
generally accepted securities industry services or publications.
U. ACCOUNTS AND RECORDS PROPERTY OF FUND
Custodian acknowledges that all of the accounts and records maintained
by Custodian pursuant to this Agreement are the property of Fund, and
will be made available to Fund for inspection or reproduction within a
reasonable period of time, upon demand. Custodian will assist Fund's
independent auditors, or upon approval of Fund, or upon demand, any
regulatory body, in any requested review of Fund's
Page 21 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
accounts and records but shall be reimbursed by Fund for all expenses
and employee time invested in any such review outside of routine and
normal periodic reviews. Upon receipt from Fund of the necessary
information or instructions, Custodian will supply information from
the books and records it maintains for Fund that Fund needs for tax
returns, questionnaires, periodic reports to shareholders and such
other reports and information requests as Fund and Custodian shall
agree upon from time to time.
V. ADOPTION OF PROCEDURES
Custodian and Fund may from time to time adopt procedures as they
agree upon, and Custodian may conclusively assume that no procedure
approved or directed by Fund or its accountants or other advisors
conflicts with or violates any requirements of its prospectus, Trust
Agreement, Bylaws, any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any
order, decree or agreement by which Fund may be bound. Fund will be
responsible to notify Custodian of any changes in statutes,
regulations, rules, requirements or policies which might necessitate
changes in Custodian's responsibilities or procedures.
W. CALCULATION OF NET ASSET VALUE
Custodian will calculate Fund's net asset value, in accordance with
Fund's prospectus. Custodian will price the securities and foreign
currency holdings of Fund for which market quotations are available by
the use of outside services designated by Fund which are normally used
and contracted with for this purpose; all other securities and foreign
currency holdings will be priced in accordance with
Page 22 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
Fund's instructions. Custodian will have no responsibility for the
accuracy of the prices quoted by these outside services or for the
information supplied by Fund or for acting upon such instructions.
X. ADVANCES
In the event Custodian or any subcustodian shall, in its sole
discretion, advance cash or securities for any purpose (including but
not limited to securities settlements, purchase or sale of foreign
exchange or foreign exchange contracts and assumed settlement) for the
benefit of any Portfolio, the advance shall be payable by the Fund on
demand. Any such cash advance shall be subject to an overdraft charge
at the rate set forth in the then-current fee schedule from the date
advanced until the date repaid. As security for each such advance,
Fund hereby grants Custodian and such subcustodian a lien on and
security interest in all property at any time held for the account of
the applicable Portfolio, including without limitation all assets
acquired with the amount advanced. Should the Fund fail to promptly
repay the advance upon request of the Custodian, the Custodian and
such subcustodian shall be entitled to utilize available cash and to
dispose of such Portfolio's assets pursuant to applicable law to the
extent necessary to obtain reimbursement of the amount advanced and
any related overdraft charges.
Y. EXERCISE OF RIGHTS: TENDER OFFERS
Upon receipt of instructions, the Custodian shall: (a) deliver
warrants, puts, calls, rights or similar securities to the issuer or
trustee thereof, or to the agent of such issuer or trustee, for the
purpose of exercise or sale, provided that the new
Page 23 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
securities, cash or other assets, if any, are to be delivered to the
Custodian; and (b) deposit securities upon invitations for tenders
thereof, provided that the consideration for such securities is to be
paid or delivered to the Custodian or the tendered securities are to
be returned to the Custodian.
4. INSTRUCTIONS.
A. The term "instructions", as used herein, means written (including
telecopied or telexed) or oral instructions which Custodian reasonably
believes were given by a designated representative of Fund. Fund
shall deliver to Custodian, prior to delivery of any assets to
Custodian and thereafter from time to time as changes therein are
necessary, written instructions naming one or more designated
representatives to give instructions in the name and on behalf of
Fund, which instructions may be received and accepted by Custodian as
conclusive evidence of the authority of any designated representative
to act for Fund and may be considered to be in full force and effect
(and Custodian will be fully protected in acting in reliance thereon)
until receipt by Custodian of notice to the contrary. Unless such
written instructions delegating authority to any person to give
instructions specifically limit such authority to specific matters or
require that the approval of anyone else will first have been
obtained, Custodian will be under no obligation to inquire into the
right of such person, acting alone, to give any instructions
whatsoever which Custodian may receive from such person. If Fund
fails to provide Custodian any such instructions naming designated
representatives, any instructions received by Custodian from a person
reasonably believed to be an
Page 24 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
appropriate representative of Fund shall constitute valid and proper
instructions hereunder.
B. No later than the next business day immediately following each oral
instruction, Fund will send Custodian written confirmation of such
oral instruction. At Custodian's sole discretion, Custodian may
record on tape, or otherwise, any oral instruction whether given in
person or via telephone, each such recording identifying the parties,
the date and the time of the beginning and ending of such oral
instruction.
C. If Custodian shall provide Fund direct access to any computerized
recordkeeping and reporting system used hereunder or if Custodian and
Fund shall agree to utilize any electronic system of communication,
Fund shall be fully responsible for any and all consequences of the
use or misuse of the terminal device, passwords, access instructions
and other means of access to such system(s) which are utilized by,
assigned to or otherwise made available to the Fund. Fund agrees to
implement and enforce appropriate security policies and procedures to
prevent unauthorized or improper access to or use of such system(s).
Custodian shall be fully protected in acting hereunder upon any
instructions, communications, data or other information received by
Custodian by such means as fully and to the same effect as if
delivered to Custodian by written instrument signed by the requisite
authorized representative(s) of Fund. Fund shall indemnify and hold
Custodian harmless from and against any and all losses, damages,
costs, charges, counsel fees, payments, expenses and liability which
may be suffered or incurred by Custodian as a result
Page 25 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
of the use or misuse, whether authorized or unauthorized, of any such
system(s) by Fund or by any person who acquires access to such
system(s) through the terminal device, passwords, access instructions
or other means of access to such system(s) which are utilized by,
assigned to or otherwise made available to the Fund, except to the
extent attributable to any negligence or willful misconduct by
Custodian.
5. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF CUSTODIAN.
A. Custodian shall at all times use reasonable care and due diligence and
act in good faith in performing its duties under this Agreement.
Custodian shall not be responsible for, and the Fund shall indemnify
and hold Custodian harmless from and against, any and all losses,
damages, costs, charges, counsel fees, payments, expenses and
liability which may be asserted against Custodian, incurred by
Custodian or for which Custodian may be held to be liable, arising out
of or attributable to:
1. All actions taken by Custodian pursuant to this Agreement or any
instructions provided to it hereunder, provided that Custodian
has acted in good faith and with due diligence and reasonable
care; and
2. The Fund's refusal or failure to comply with the terms of this
Agreement (including without limitation the Fund's failure to pay
or reimburse Custodian under this indemnification provision), the
Fund's negligence or willful misconduct, or the failure of any
representation or warranty of the Fund hereunder to be and remain
true and correct in all respects at all times.
Page 26 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
B. Custodian may request and obtain at the expense of Fund the advice and
opinion of counsel for Fund or of its own counsel with respect to
questions or matters of law, and it shall be without liability to Fund
for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith, in conformity
with such advice or opinion. If Custodian reasonably believes that it
could not prudently act according to the instructions of the Fund or
the Fund's accountants or counsel, it may in its discretion, with
notice to the Fund, not act according to such instructions.
C. Custodian may rely upon the advice and statements of Fund, Fund's
accountants and officers or other authorized individuals, and other
persons believed by it in good faith to be expert in matters upon
which they are consulted, and Custodian shall not be liable for any
actions taken, in good faith, upon such advice and statements.
D. If Fund requests Custodian in any capacity to take any action which
involves the payment of money by Custodian, or which might make it or
its nominee liable for payment of monies or in any other way,
Custodian shall be indemnified and held harmless by Fund against any
liability on account of such action; provided, however, that nothing
herein shall obligate Custodian to take any such action except in its
sole discretion.
E. Custodian shall be protected in acting as custodian hereunder upon any
instructions, advice, notice, request, consent, certificate or other
instrument or paper appearing to it to be genuine and to have been
properly executed. Custodian shall be entitled to receive upon
request as conclusive proof of any fact
Page 27 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
or matter required to be ascertained from Fund hereunder a certificate
signed by an officer or designated representative of Fund. Fund shall
also provide Custodian instructions with respect to any matter
concerning this Agreement requested by Custodian.
F. Custodian shall be under no duty or obligation to inquire into, and
shall not be liable for:
1. The validity of the issue of any securities purchased by or
for Fund, the legality of the purchase of any securities or
foreign currency positions or evidence of ownership required by
Fund to be received by Custodian, or the propriety of the
decision to purchase or amount paid therefor;
2. The legality of the sale of any securities or foreign currency
positions by or for Fund, or the propriety of the amount for
which the same are sold;
3. The legality of the issue or sale of any Fund Shares, or the
sufficiency of the amount to be received therefor;
4. The legality of the repurchase or redemption of any Fund Shares,
or the propriety of the amount to be paid therefor; or
5. The legality of the declaration of any dividend by Fund, or the
legality of the issue of any Fund Shares in payment of any stock
dividend.
G. Custodian shall not be liable for, or considered to be Custodian of,
any money represented by any check, draft, wire transfer,
clearinghouse funds, uncollected funds, or instrument for the payment
of money to be received by it on behalf of Fund until Custodian
actually receives such money; provided, however, that it shall
Page 28 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
advise Fund promptly if it fails to receive any such money in the
ordinary course of business and shall cooperate with Fund toward the
end that such money shall be received.
H. Except as provided in Section 3.S., Custodian shall not be responsible
for loss occasioned by the acts, neglects, defaults or insolvency of
any broker, bank, trust company, or any other person with whom
Custodian may deal.
I. Custodian shall not be responsible or liable for the failure or delay
in performance of its obligations under this Agreement, or those of
any entity for which it is responsible hereunder, arising out of or
caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond the affected
entity's reasonable control, including, without limitation: any
interruption, loss or malfunction of any utility, transportation,
computer (hardware or software) or communication service; inability to
obtain labor, material, equipment or transportation, or a delay in
mails; governmental or exchange action, statute, ordinance, rulings,
regulations or direction; war, strike, riot, emergency, civil
disturbance, terrorism, vandalism, explosions, labor disputes,
freezes, floods, fires, tornados, acts of God or public enemy,
revolutions, or insurrection, provided Custodian agrees to provide
reasonable back-up and disaster recovery procedures.
J. EXCEPT FOR VIOLATIONS OF SECTION 9, IN NO EVENT AND UNDER NO
CIRCUMSTANCES SHALL EITHER PARTY TO THIS AGREEMENT BE LIABLE TO
ANYONE, INCLUDING, WITHOUT
Page 29 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
LIMITATION TO THE OTHER PARTY, FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR PUNITIVE
DAMAGES FOR ANY ACT OR FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY PROVISION OF THIS
AGREEMENT EVEN IF ADVISED OF THIS POSSIBILITY THEREOF.
6. COMPENSATION. In consideration for its services hereunder as Custodian and
investment accounting and recordkeeping agent, Fund will pay to Custodian
such compensation as shall be set forth in a separate fee schedule to be
agreed to by Fund and Custodian from time to time. A copy of the initial
fee schedule is attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference.
Custodian shall also be entitled to receive, and Fund agrees to pay to
Custodian, on demand, reimbursement for Custodian's cash disbursements and
reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses, including attorney's fees,
incurred by Custodian in connection with the performance of services
hereunder. Custodian may charge such compensation against monies held by
it for the account of Fund, provided Custodian has first delivered a
statement of charges to Fund. Custodian will also be entitled to charge
against any monies held by it for the account of Fund the amount of any
loss, damage, liability, advance, overdraft or expense for which it shall
be entitled to reimbursement from Fund, including but not limited to fees
and expenses due to Custodian for other services provided to the Fund by
Custodian. Custodian will be entitled to reimbursement by the Fund for the
losses, damages, liabilities, advances, overdrafts and expenses of
subcustodians only to the extent that (i) Custodian would have been
entitled to reimbursement hereunder if it had incurred the same itself
directly, and (ii) Custodian is obligated to reimburse the subcustodian
therefor.
Page 30 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
7. TERM AND TERMINATION. The initial term of this Agreement shall be for a
period of one year. Thereafter, either party to this Agreement may
terminate the same by notice in writing, delivered or mailed, postage
prepaid, to the other party hereto and received not less than sixty (60)
days prior to the date upon which such termination will take effect.
Upon termination of this Agreement, Fund will pay Custodian its fees and
compensation due hereunder and its reimbursable disbursements, costs and
expenses paid or incurred to such date and Fund shall designate a successor
custodian by notice in writing to Custodian by the termination date. In
the event no written order designating a successor custodian has been
delivered to Custodian on or before the date when such termination becomes
effective, then Custodian may, at its option, deliver the securities, funds
and properties of Fund to a bank or trust company at the selection of
Custodian, and meeting the qualifications for custodian set forth in the
1940 Act and having not less that Two Million Dollars ($2,000,000)
aggregate capital, surplus and undivided profits, as shown by its last
published report, or apply to a court of competent jurisdiction for the
appointment of a successor custodian or other proper relief, or take any
other lawful action under the circumstances; provided, however, that Fund
shall reimburse Custodian for its costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorney's fees, incurred in connection therewith. Custodian will, upon
termination of this Agreement and payment of all sums due to Custodian from
Fund hereunder or otherwise, deliver to the successor custodian so
specified or appointed, or as specified by the court, at Custodian's
office, all securities then held by Custodian hereunder, duly endorsed and
in form for transfer, and all funds and other properties of Fund deposited
with or held by Custodian hereunder, and Custodian will co-operate in
Page 31 - CUSTODY AND INVESTMENT ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
effecting changes in book-entries at all Depositories. Upon delivery to a
successor custodian or as specified by the court, Custodian will have no
further obligations or liabilities under this Agreement. Thereafter such
successor will be the successor custodian under this Agreement and will be
entitled to reasonable compensation for its services. In the event that
securities, funds and other properties remain in the possession of the
Custodian after the date of termination hereof owing to failure of the Fund
to appoint a successor custodian, the Custodian shall be entitled to
compensation as provided in the then-current fee schedule hereunder for its
services during such period as the Custodian retains possession of such
securities, funds and other properties, and the provisions of this
Agreement relating to the duties and obligations of the Custodian shall
remain in full force and effect.

remedies with respect to a particular Portfolio constitute a right,
obligation or remedy applicable to any other Portfolio. The use of
this single document to memorialize the separate agreement of each
Portfolio is understood to be for clerical convenience only and shall
not constitute any basis for joining the Portfolios for any reason.
B. Additional Portfolios may be added to this Agreement, provided that
Custodian consents to such addition. Rates or charges for each
additional Portfolio shall be as agreed upon by Custodian and Fund in
writing.

has been executed on behalf of Fund by the undersigned duly authorized
representative of Fund in his/her capacity as such and not individually;
