Any waiver must be in writing signed by the waiving party.

15.15 The Parties; Representations and Warranties; Several Obligations of the Trusts and Portfolios. All references in this Agreement to a “Trust” are to each of the management investment companies listed on Schedule A, and each management investment company made subject to this Agreement in accordance with Section 12.1 above, individually, as if this Agreement were between the individual Trust and the Transfer Agent. In the case of a series organization, all references in this Agreement to a “Portfolio” are to the individual series of the series organization on behalf of the individual series. Any reference in this Agreement to “the parties” shall mean the Transfer Agent and such other individual Trust as to which the matter pertains. With respect to any obligation of a Trust on its own behalf or on behalf of any of its Portfolios arising out of this Agreement, the Transfer Agent shall look for payment or satisfaction of any obligation solely to the assets and property of the applicable Trust or Portfolio to which such obligation relates as though each Trust had separately contracted with the Transfer Agent by separate written instrument on its own behalf and with respect to each of its Portfolios.
