NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and of the covenants and agreements hereinafter set forth, the parties hereto covenant and agree as follows; ARTICLE I TRANSFER OF ASSETS OF THE TRANSFERING FUND IN EXCHANGE FOR ACQUIRING FUND SHARES AND THE ASSUMPTION OF TRANSFERING FUND'S LIABILITIES AND LIQUIDATION OF TRANSFERING FUND 1.1 THE EXCHANGE.

In exchange, Acquiring Fund agrees: (i) to deliver to Transferring Fund the number of full and fractional shares of the Acquiring Fund Shares, determined by (a) multiplying the shares outstanding of the Transferring Fund by (b) the ratio computed by dividing (x) the net asset value per share of the Transferring Fund by (y) the net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund Shares computed in the manner and as of the time and date set forth in paragraph 2.2; and (ii) to assume all of the liabilities of the Transferring Fund, as set forth in paragraph 1.3. Such transactions shall take place at the Closing provided for in paragraph 3.1. 1.2 ASSETS TO BE ACQUIRED. The assets of the Transferring Fund to be acquired by Acquiring Fund shall consist of all property, including, without limitation, all cash, securities, commodities, interests in futures and dividends or interest receivables, owned by the Transferring Fund and any deferred or prepaid expenses shown as an asset on the books of the Transferring Fund on the Closing Date. The Transferring Fund has provided Acquiring Fund with its most recent audited financial statements, which contain a list of all of the Transferring Fund's assets as of the date of such statements. The Transferring Fund hereby represents that as of the date of the execution of this Agreement, there have been no changes in its financial position as reflected in said financial statements other than those occurring in the ordinary course of business in connection with the purchase and sale of securities and the payment of normal operating expenses and the payment of dividends, capital gains distributions and redemption proceeds to its shareholders. The Transferring Fund will, within a reasonable period of time prior to the Closing Date, furnish the Acquiring Fund with a list of the Transferring Fund's portfolio securities and other investments. The Acquiring Fund will, within a reasonable time prior to the Closing Date, furnish the Transferring Fund with a list of the securities, if any, on the Transferring Fund's list referred to above that do not conform to the Acquiring Fund's investment objectives, policies, and restrictions. The Transferring Fund, if requested by the Acquiring Fund, will dispose of securities on the Acquiring Fund's list prior to the Closing Date. In addition, if it is determined that the portfolios of the Transferring Fund and the Acquiring Fund, when aggregated, would contain investments exceeding certain percentage limitations imposed upon the Acquiring Fund with respect to such investments, the Transferring Fund, if requested by the Acquiring Fund, shall dispose of a sufficient amount of such investments as may be necessary to avoid violating such limitations as of the Closing Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall 2 require the Transferring Fund to dispose of any investments or securities if, in the reasonable judgment of the Transferring Fund's trustees or adviser, such disposition would adversely affect the tax-free nature of the Reorganization or would violate their fiduciary duties to the Transferring Fund's shareholders. 1.3 LIABILITIES TO BE ASSUMED. The Acquiring Fund shall assume all of the Transferring Fund's liabilities, expenses, costs, charges and reserves. 1.4 LIQUIDATION AND DISTRIBUTION.

Such distribution will be accomplished by the transfer of Acquiring Fund Shares credited to the account of the Transferring Fund on the books of the Acquiring Fund to open accounts on the share records of the Acquiring Fund in the name of the Transferring Fund Shareholders, and representing the PRO RATA number of Acquiring Fund Shares due such shareholders.

The number of Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued (including fractional shares, if any) in exchange for the Transferring Fund's assets, shall be determined by (a) multiplying the shares outstanding of the Transferring Fund by (b) the ratio computed by (x) dividing the net asset value per share of the Transferring Fund by (y) the net asset value per share of the Acquiring Fund determined in accordance with paragraph 2.2 [(a) x (b), where (b)=(x)/(y)]. 2.4 DETERMINATION OF VALUE. All computations of value shall be made by the Acquiring Fund's pricing agent in accordance with its regular practice in pricing the shares and assets of the Acquiring Fund.

To the knowledge of such counsel, the Acquiring Fund is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental body, which materially and adversely affects the Acquiring Fund's business, other than as previously disclosed in the Registration Statement. Such counsel shall also state that they have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Acquiring Fund at which the contents of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement and related matters were discussed. Although such counsel are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement (except to the extent indicated in their opinion in paragraph (g), above), on the basis of the foregoing (relying as to materiality to a large extent 14 upon the opinions of the Trust's officers and other representatives of the Acquiring Fund), no facts have come to their attention that lead them to believe that the Prospectus/Proxy Statement as of its date, as of the date of the Transferring Fund Shareholders' meeting, and as of the Closing Date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated regarding the Acquiring Fund or necessary, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, to make the such statements regarding the Acquiring Fund not misleading. Such opinion may state that such counsel does not express any opinion or belief as to the financial statements or any financial or statistical data, or as to the information relating to the Transferring Fund, contained in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement or the Registration Statement, and that such opinion is solely for the benefit of the PMP Trust and the Transferring Fund. Such opinion shall contain such other assumptions and limitations as shall be in the opinion of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP appropriate to render the opinions expressed therein. In this paragraph 6.2, references to the Prospectus/Proxy Statement include and relate to only the text of such Prospectus/Proxy Statement and not to any exhibits or attachments thereto or to any documents incorporated by reference therein. 6.3 As of the Closing Date with respect to the Reorganization of the Transferring Fund, there shall have been no material change in the investment objective, policies and restrictions nor any material change in the investment management fees, other fees payable for services provided to the Acquiring Fund, fee waiver or expense reimbursement undertakings of the Acquiring Fund from those fee amounts and undertakings of the Acquiring Fund described in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement. 6.4 For the period beginning at the Closing Date and ending not less than six (6) years thereafter, the Trust, its successor or assigns shall provide, or cause to be provided, liability coverage at least as comparable to the liability coverage currently applicable to both former and current Trustees and officers of the PMP Trust, covering the actions of such Trustees and officers of the PMP Trust for the period they served as such. ARTICLE VII CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OBLIGATIONS OF THE ACQUIRING FUND The obligations of the Acquiring Fund to consummate the transactions provided for herein shall be subject, at their election, to the performance by the Transferring Fund of all the obligations to be performed by the Transferring Fund pursuant to this Agreement, on or before the Closing Date and, in addition, shall be subject to the following conditions: 7.1 All representations, covenants, and warranties of the Transferring Fund contained in this Agreement shall be true and correct as of the date hereof and as of the Closing Date, with the same force and effect as if made on and as of the Closing Date. The Transferring Fund shall have delivered to the Acquiring Fund on the Closing Date a certificate executed in the 15 Transferring Fund's name by the PMP Trust's President or Vice President and the Treasurer or Assistant Treasurer, in form and substance satisfactory to the Acquiring Fund and dated as of the Closing Date, to such effect and as to such other matters as the Acquiring Fund shall reasonably request. 7.2 The Transferring Fund shall have delivered to the Acquiring Fund a statement of the Transferring Fund's assets and liabilities, together with a list of the Transferring Fund's portfolio securities showing the tax costs of such securities by lot and the holding periods of such securities, as of the Closing Date, certified by the Treasurer of PMP Trust. 7.3 The Acquiring Fund shall have received on the Closing Date an opinion of Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker, LLP, counsel to the Transferring Fund, dated as of the Closing Date in a form satisfactory to the Acquiring Fund covering the following points: (a) The Transferring Fund is a separate investment series of a Massachusetts business trust duly organized, validly existing and in good standing under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and has the power to own all of its properties and assets and to carry on its business as presently conducted. (b) The Transferring Fund is a separate investment series of a Massachusetts business trust registered as an investment company under the 1940 Act, and, to such counsel's knowledge, such registration with the Commission is in full force and effect. (c) This Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by the PMP Trust on behalf of the Transferring Fund and, assuming due authorization, execution and delivery of this Agreement by the Trust on behalf of the Acquiring Fund is a valid and binding obligation of the Transferring Fund enforceable against the Transferring Fund in accordance with its terms, subject as to enforcement, to bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium and other laws relating to or affecting creditors' rights generally and to general equity principles. (d) To the knowledge of such counsel, no consent, approval, authorization or order of any court or governmental authority of the United States or the Commonwealth of Massachusetts is required for consummation by the Transferring Fund of the transactions contemplated herein, except as have been obtained under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act and the 1940 Act, and as may be required under state securities laws or where the failure to obtain such consent, approval, order, or authorization would not have a material adverse affect on the operations of the PMP Trust or the Transferring Fund. (e) The execution and delivery of this Agreement did not, and the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby will not, result in a violation of the PMP Trust's Declaration of Trust or By-laws, or any provision of any material agreement, indenture, instrument, contract, lease or other undertaking (in each case known to such counsel) to which the Transferring Fund is a party or by which it or any of its properties may be bound or, to the 16 knowledge of such counsel, result in the acceleration of any obligation or the imposition of any penalty, under any agreement, judgment, or decree to which the Transferring Fund is a party or by which it is bound. (f) The descriptions in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement of statutes, legal and government proceedings and material contracts, if any (only insofar as they relate to the Transferring Fund), are accurate and fairly present the information required to be shown. (g) Such counsel does not know of any legal or governmental proceedings (insofar as they relate to the Transferring Fund) existing on or before the date of mailing of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement and the Closing Date, which are required to be described in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement or to be filed as an exhibit to the Registration Statement which are not described or filed as required. (h) To the knowledge of such counsel, no litigation or administrative proceeding or investigation of or before any court or governmental body is presently pending or threatened as to the Transferring Fund or any of its respective properties or assets. To the knowledge of such counsel, the Transferring Fund is not a party to or subject to the provisions of any order, decree or judgment of any court or governmental body, which materially and adversely affects the Transferring Fund's business other than as previously disclosed in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement. (i) Assuming that a consideration of not less than the net asset value of Transferring Fund shares has been paid, and assuming that such shares were issued in accordance with the terms of the Transferring Fund's registration statement, or any amendment thereto, in effect at the time of such issuance, all issued and outstanding shares of the Transferring Fund are legally issued and fully paid and non-assessable. Such counsel shall also state that they have participated in conferences with officers and other representatives of the Transferring Fund at which the contents of the Prospectus/Proxy Statement and related matters were discussed. Although such counsel are not passing upon and do not assume any responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or fairness of the statements contained in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement (except to the extent indicated in their opinion at paragraph (f), above), on the basis of the foregoing (relying as to materiality to a large extent upon the opinions of the PMP Trust's officers and other representatives of the Transferring Fund), no facts have come to their attention that lead them to believe that the Prospectus/Proxy Statement as of its date, as of the date of the Transferring Fund Shareholders' meeting, and as of the Closing Date, contained an untrue statement of a material fact or omitted to state a material fact required to be stated therein regarding the Transferring Fund or necessary, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made, to make the statements therein regarding the Transferring Fund not misleading. Such opinion may state that such counsel do not express any opinion or belief as to the financial statements or any financial or statistical data, or as to the information relating to the Acquiring Fund contained in the Prospectus/Proxy Statement or 17 Registration Statement, and that such opinion is solely for the benefit of the Trust and the Acquiring Fund. Such opinion shall contain such other assumptions and limitations as shall be in the opinion of Paul, Hastings, Janofsky & Walker LLP appropriate to render the opinions expressed herein. In this paragraph 7.3, references to the Prospectus/Proxy Statement include and relate to only the text of such Prospectus/Proxy Statement and not to any exhibits or attachments thereto or to any documents incorporated by reference therein. ARTICLE VIII FURTHER CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO OBLIGATIONS OF THE ACQUIRING FUND AND THE TRANSFERRING FUND If any of the conditions set forth below do not exist on or before the Closing Date with respect to the Transferring Fund or the Acquiring Fund, the other party to this Agreement shall, at its option, not be required to consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement: 8.1 This Agreement and the transactions contemplated herein shall have been approved by the requisite vote of the holders of the outstanding shares of the Transferring Fund in accordance with Massachusetts law and the provisions of the PMP Trust's Declaration of Trust and By-Laws. Certified copies of the resolutions evidencing such approval shall have been delivered to the Acquiring Fund. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Acquiring Fund nor the Transferring Fund may waive the conditions set forth in this paragraph 8.1. 8.2 On the Closing Date, the Commission shall not have issued an unfavorable report under Section 25(b) of the 1940 Act, or instituted any proceeding seeking to enjoin the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement under Section 25(c) of the 1940 Act. Furthermore, no action, suit or other proceeding shall be threatened or pending before any court or governmental agency in which it is sought to restrain or prohibit, or obtain damages or other relief in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated herein. 8.3 All required consents of other parties and all other consents, orders, and permits of federal, state and local regulatory authorities (including those of the Commission and of State Blue Sky securities authorities, including any necessary "no-action" positions and exemptive orders from such federal and state authorities) to permit consummation of the transactions contemplated herein shall have been obtained, except where failure to obtain any such consent, order, or permit would not involve a risk of a material adverse effect on the assets or properties of the Acquiring Fund or the Transferring Fund, provided that either party hereto may waive any such conditions for itself. 18 8.4 The Registration Statement shall have become effective under the 1933 Act, and no stop orders suspending the effectiveness thereof shall have been issued. To the best knowledge of the parties to this Agreement, no investigation or proceeding for that purpose shall have been instituted or be pending, threatened or contemplated under the 1933 Act. 8.5 The Transferring Fund shall have declared and paid a dividend or dividends which, together with all previous such dividends, shall have the effect of distributing to the Transferring Fund Shareholders all of the Transferring Fund's net investment company taxable income for all taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Dates (computed without regard to any deduction for dividends paid) and all of its net capital gains realized in all taxable periods ending on or prior to the Closing Date (after reduction for any capital loss carry forward). 8.6 The parties shall have received a favorable opinion of Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP addressed to the Acquiring Fund and the Transferring Fund substantially to the effect that for federal income tax purposes with respect to the Transferring Fund: (a) The transfer of all of the Transferring Fund's assets in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Transferring Fund (followed by the distribution of Acquiring Fund Shares to the Transferring Fund Shareholders in dissolution and liquidation of the Transferring Fund) will constitute a "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code and the Acquiring Fund and the Transferring Fund will each be a "party to a reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(b) of the Code. (b) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Acquiring Fund upon the receipt of the assets of the Transferring Fund solely in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Transferring Fund. (c) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Transferring Fund upon the transfer of the Transferring Fund's assets to the Acquiring Fund in exchange for Acquiring Fund Shares and the assumption by the Acquiring Fund of all of the liabilities of the Transferring Fund or upon the distribution (whether actual or constructive) of Acquiring Fund Shares to Transferring Fund Shareholders in exchange for such shareholders' shares of the Transferring Fund. (d) No gain or loss will be recognized by the Transferring Fund Shareholders upon the exchange of their Transferring Fund shares for Acquiring Fund Shares in the Reorganization. (e) The aggregate tax basis for Acquiring Fund Shares received by the Transferring Fund Shareholder pursuant to the Reorganization will be the same as the aggregate tax basis of the Transferring Fund shares exchanged therefor by such shareholder. 19 E (f) The holding period of Acquiring Fund Shares to be received by the Transferring Fund Shareholder will include the period during which the Transferring Fund shares exchanged therefore were held by such shareholder provided the Transferring Fund shares are held as capital assets at the time of the Reorganization). (g) The tax basis of the Transferring Fund's assets acquired by the Acquiring Fund will be the same as the tax basis of such assets to the Transferring Fund immediately prior to the Reorganization. (h) The holding period of the assets of the Transferring Fund in the hands of the Acquiring Fund will include the period during which those assets were held by the Transferring Fund. Such opinion shall be based on customary assumptions and such representations as Morgan, Lewis & Bockius LLP may reasonably request, and the Transferring Fund and Acquiring Fund will cooperate to make and certify the accuracy of such representations. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, neither the Acquiring Fund nor the Transferring Fund may waive the conditions set forth in this paragraph 8.6. ARTICLE IX EXPENSES 9.1 Except as otherwise provided for herein, Turner Investment Partners, Inc. will pay all special costs relating to the Acquiring Fund's and the Transferring Fund's participation in the Reorganization and all related expenses that are not appropriately assigned to the Transferring Fund.

The covenants to be performed after the Closing and the obligations of the Acquiring Funds in sections 5.8 and 6.4, shall continue in effect beyond the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereunder. ARTICLE XI TERMINATION 11.1 This Agreement may be terminated by the mutual agreement of the Trust and the PMP Trust. In addition, either the Trust or the PMP Trust may at their option terminate this Agreement at or prior to the Closing Date due to: (a) a breach by the other of any representation, warranty, or agreement contained herein to be performed at or prior to the Closing Date, if not cured within 30 days; or (b) a condition herein expressed to be precedent to the obligations of the terminating party that has not been met and it reasonably appears that it will not or cannot be met. 11.2 In the event of any such termination, in the absence of willful default, there shall be no liability for damages on the part of the Acquiring Fund, the Transferring Fund, the Trust, the PMP Trust, the respective Trustees or officers, to the other party or its Trustees or officers. ARTICLE XII AMENDMENTS 12.1 This Agreement may be amended, modified, or supplemented in such manner as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the authorized officers of the Transferring Fund and the Acquiring Fund; provided, however, that following the meeting of the Transferring Fund Shareholders called by the Transferring Fund pursuant to paragraph 5.2 of this Agreement, no such amendment may have the effect of changing the provisions for determining the number of Acquiring Fund Shares to be issued to the Transferring Fund Shareholders under this Agreement to the detriment of such shareholders without their further approval. 21 ARTICLE XIII HEADINGS; COUNTERPARTS; GOVERNING LAW; ASSIGNMENT; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 13.1 The article and paragraph headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. 13.2 This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original. 13.3 This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. 13.4 This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, but, except as provided in this paragraph, no assignment or transfer hereof or of any rights or obligations hereunder shall be made by any party without the written consent of the other party. Nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or shall be construed to confer upon or give any person, firm, or corporation, other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns, any rights or remedies under or by reason of this Agreement. 13.5 It is expressly agreed that the obligations of the Acquiring Fund and the Transferring Fund hereunder shall not be binding upon any of the Trustees, shareholders, nominees, officers, agents, or employees of the Trust or the PMP Trust personally, as the case may be, but shall bind only the trust property of the Acquiring Fund or the Transferring Fund, as the case may be, as provided in the respective Declarations of Trust of the PMP Trust and the Trust. The execution and delivery of this Agreement have been authorized by the Trustees of the Trust and the PMP Trust, on behalf of the Acquiring Fund and Transferring Fund, respectively, and signed by authorized officers of each Trust, acting as such.
