(the “Corporation”) on behalf of the portfolios listed on Appendix A, as amended from time to time, (each, a “Portfolio” and collectively, the “Portfolios”) and State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Bank”), a trust company established under the laws of Massachusetts with a principal place of business in Boston, Massachusetts. Capitalized terms used in this Amendment without definition shall have the respective meanings given to such terms in the Fund Accounting Agreement referred to below.

WHEREAS, the Corporation and Investors Bank & Trust Company (“IBT”) entered into a Fund Accounting Agreement dated September 1, 2004, as amended (the “Fund Accounting Agreement”);

WHEREAS, IBT merged with and into the Bank, effective July 2, 2007, with the result that the Bank now provides fund accounting services under the Fund Accounting Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Corporation has requested the Bank enter into this Amendment and the Bank has agreed to do so, notwithstanding that the Fund Accounting Agreement is not identical to the form of accounting services agreement customarily entered into by the Bank as accounting agent, in order that the services to be provided to each Portfolio by the Bank, as successor by merger to IBT, may continue to be provided to each Portfolio in a consistent manner;

WHEREAS, the parties hereto wish to amend the Fund Accounting Agreement as set forth below.

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.

(a)        As amended and supplemented hereby, the Fund Accounting Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

(b)        This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.
