Indemnification - - -------- --------------- Reference is made to Section 12 of Article SEVENTH of Registrant's Restated Declaration of Trust dated February 26, 1986. Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions or otherwise, Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling person of Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such Trustee, officer or controlling person, Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question of whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act of 1933 and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

WHEREAS, the Fund is an open-end, diversified management investment company registered as such with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") pursuant to the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act"), and the Management Corporation is a registered investment adviser; NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and agreements herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, it is agreed by and between the parties hereto as follows: 1. General The Management Corporation agrees, all as more fully set forth herein, to act as investment adviser to the Fund with respect to the investment of its assets; to supervise and arrange the purchase of securities for and the sale of securities held in the portfolio of the Fund; and to furnish personnel and facilities as shall be required to provide effective administration of the Fund. 2. Duties and Obligations of the Management Corporation with respect to Investments of Assets of the Fund (a) Subject to the succeeding provisions of this section and subject to the direction and control of the Board of Trustees of the Fund, the Management Corporation shall: (i) Regularly provide investment advice and recommendations to the Fund with respect to its investments, investment policies and the purchase and sale of securities; (ii) Supervise continuously the investment program of the Fund and the composition of its portfolio; and (iii) Arrange, subject to the provisions of paragraph "4" hereof, for the purchase of securities and other investments for and the sale of securities and other investments held in the portfolio of the Fund. (b) Any investment advice furnished by the Management Corporation under this section shall at all times conform to, and be in accordance with, any requirements imposed by: (1) the provisions -1- of the Investment Company Act of 1940, and of any rules or regulations in force thereunder; (2) any other applicable provision of law; (3) the provisions of the Declaration of Trust and By-Laws of the Fund as amended from time to time; (4) any policies and determinations of the Board of Trustees of the Fund; and (5) the terms of the registration statement of the Fund, as amended from time to time, under the Securities Act of 1933 and the Investment Company Act of 1940. (c) The Management Corporation shall give the Fund the benefit of its best judgment and effort in rendering services hereunder, but the Management Corporation shall not be liable for any loss sustained by reason of the adoption of any investment policy or the purchase, sale or retention of any security on its recommendation, whether or not such recommendation shall have been based upon its own investigation and research or upon investigation and research made by any other individual, firm or corporation, if such recommendation shall have been made and such other individual firm or corporation shall have been selected with due care and in good faith. Nothing herein contained shall, however, be construed to protect the Management Corporation against any liability to the Fund or its security holders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties, or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement. (d) Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Management Corporation or any officer thereof from acting as investment adviser for any other person, firm or corporation and shall not in any way limit or restrict the Management Corporation or any of its directors, officers, stockholders or employees from buying, selling or trading any securities for its or their own accounts or for the accounts of others for whom it or they may be acting, provided however that the Management Corporation expressly represents that it will undertake no activities which, in its judgment, will adversely affect the performance of its obligations to the Fund under this Agreement. 3. Allocation of Expenses The Management Corporation shall at its expense provide all executive, administrative and clerical personnel as shall be required to provide effective administration for the Fund, including the compilation and maintenance of records with respect to its operations as may reasonably be required; the preparation and filing of such reports with respect thereto as shall be required by rules or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission; the composition of registration statements required by Federal securities laws for continuous public sale of shares of the Fund; composition of periodic reports with respect to its operations for the shareholders of the Fund; and composition of proxy materials for meetings of the Fund's shareholders. The Management Corporation shall, at its own cost and expense, also provide the Fund with adequate office space, facilities and equipment. The Management Corporation shall, at its own expense, provide such officers for the Fund as the Fund's Board shall request. All other costs and expenses not expressly assumed by the Management Corporation under this Agreement, or to be paid by the General Distributor of the shares of the Fund, shall be paid by the Fund, including, but not limited to (i) interest and taxes; (ii) brokerage commissions, if any; (iii) insurance premiums for fidelity and other coverage requisite to its operations; (iv) compensation and expenses of its Trustees other than those associated or affiliated with the Management Corporation; (v) legal and audit expenses; (vi) custodian and transfer agent fees and expenses; (vii) expenses incident to the redemption of its -2- shares; (viii) expenses incident to the issuance of its shares against payment therefor by or on behalf of the subscribers thereto; (ix) fees and expenses, other than as hereinabove provided, incident to the registration under Federal and State securities laws of shares of the Fund for public sale; (x) expenses of printing and mailing reports, notices, and proxy material to shareholders of the Fund; (xi) except as noted above, all other expenses incidental to holding regular annual meetings of the Fund's shareholders; and (xii) such extraordinary non-recurring expenses as may arise, including litigation affecting the Fund and the legal obligation which the Fund may have to indemnify its officers and Trustees with respect thereto. 4. Portfolio Transactions and Brokerage (a) The Management Corporation is authorized, for the purchase and sale of the Fund's portfolio securities, to employ such securities dealers as may, in the best judgment of the Management Corporation, implement the policy of the Fund to obtain prompt and reliable execution of orders at the most favorable net price. Consistent with this policy, the Management Corporation is authorized to direct the execution of the Fund's portfolio transactions to dealers furnishing statistical information or research deemed by the Management Corporation to be useful or valuable to the performance of its investment advisory functions for the Fund. 5. Compensation of the Management Corporation (a) The Fund agrees to pay the Management Corporation and the Management Corporation agrees to accept as full compensation for all services rendered by the Management Corporation as such, an annual fee payable monthly and computed on the net asset value of the Fund as of the close of business each day at the following annual rates: .500% of the first $250 million of net assets; .475% of the next $250 million of net assets; .450% of the next $250 million of net assets; .425% of the next $250 million of net assets; .400% of the next $250 million of net assets; .375% of the next $250 million of net assets; .350% of the next $500 million of net assets; and .325% of net assets in excess of $2 billion (b) Regardless of any of the above provisions, the Management Corporation guarantees that the total expenses of the Fund in any fiscal year, exclusive of taxes, interest and brokerage commissions, and extraordinary expenses such as litigation costs, shall not exceed, and the Management Corporation undertakes to pay or refund to the Fund any amount by which such expenses shall exceed the lesser of (i) 1.5% of the average annual net assets of the Fund up to $30 million and 1% of its average annual net assets in excess of $30 million; or (ii) 25% of total annual investment income of the Fund. 6. Use of Name -3- The Management Corporation hereby grants to the Fund a royalty-free, non-exclusive license to use the name "Centennial" in the name of the Fund, and to use any trademarks or servicemarks, whether or not registered, which it may own. To the extent necessary to protect the Management Corporation's rights to the name "Centennial" under applicable law, such license shall allow the Management Corporation to inspect and, subject to control by the Fund's Board, control the nature and quality of services offered by the Fund under such name. The license may be terminated by the Management Corporation upon termination of this Agreement in which case the Fund shall have no further right to use the name "Centennial" in its name or otherwise or any of such marks, and the Fund, the holders of its shares, and its officers and Trustees shall promptly take whatever action may be necessary to change its name accordingly. The name "Centennial" or any of said marks may be used by the Management Corporation in connection with any of its activities, or licensed by the Management Corporation to any other party. 7. Duration and Termination (a) This Agreement shall go into effect on the date first set forth above and shall continue in effect until December 31, 1991, and thereafter from year to year, but only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the Board of Trustees, including the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Fund who are not parties to this Agreement or "interested persons" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of any such party cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, or by the vote of the holders of a "majority" (as so defined) of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund and by such a vote of the Board of Trustees. (b) This Agreement may be terminated by the Management Corporation at any time without penalty upon giving the Fund sixty days' written notice (which notice may be waived by the Fund) and may be terminated by the Fund at any time without penalty upon giving the Management Corporation sixty days' notice (which notice may be waived by the Management Corporation), provided that such termination by the Fund shall be directed or approved by the vote of a majority of all of the Trustees of the Fund then in office or by the vote of the holders of a "majority" (as defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940) of the voting securities of the Fund at the time outstanding and entitled to vote. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its "assignment" (as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of 1940). 8. Disclaimer of Shareholder Liability The Management Corporation understands that the obligations of this Agreement are not binding upon any Trustee or shareholder of the Fund personally, but bind only the Fund's property. The Management Corporation represents that it has notice of the provisions of the Declaration of Trust disclaiming Trustee and shareholder liability for acts or obligations of the Fund. -4- IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused the foregoing instrument to be executed by their duly authorized officers as of the day and year first above written.

Tucson Way Englewood, CO 80112 Dear Sirs: We have reviewed the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization between Daily Cash Accumulation Fund, Inc. (DCAF) and Centennial Money Market Trust (CMMT) which is attached as an Exhibit of CMMT's Registration Statement under the Securities Act of 1933 on Form N-14 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 16, 1997 (the Agreement), concerning the acquisition by CMMT of substantially all of the assets of DCAF solely for voting shares of beneficial interest in CMMT, followed by the distribution of such shares in exchange for all of the outstanding shares of DCAF. Section 368(a)(1)(C), of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended ("the Code") provides that, when determining whether the exchange is solely for stock, the assumption by CMMT of a liability of DCAF shall be disregarded. The management of DCAF has represented to us that there is no plan or intention by any shareholder of DCAF who owns 5% or more of the outstanding shares of DCAF, and to the best of their knowledge, there is no plan or intention on the part of the remaining shareholders of DCAF to redeem, sell, exchange, or otherwise dispose of a number of CMMT shares received in the transaction that would reduce the shareholders' ownership of CMMT shares to a number of shares having a value, as of the Exchange Date, of less than 50 percent of the value of all of the formerly outstanding shares of DCAF as of the same date. Management of each fund has further represented to us that, as of the date of the exchange, both CMMT and DCAF will qualify as regulated investment companies or will meet the diversification test of Section 368(a)(2)(F)(ii), IRC. In our opinion, the federal tax consequences of the transaction, if carried out in the manner outlined in the Agreement and in accordance with the above representations, will be as follows: 1. The transactions contemplated by the Agreement will qualify as a tax-free "reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(a)(1) of the Code, and under the regulations promulgated thereunder. Centennial Money Market Trust November 21, 1997 Page 2 2. DCAF and CMMT will each qualify as a "party to a reorganization" within the meaning of Section 368(b)(2) of the Code. 3. No gain or loss will be recognized by the shareholders of DCAF upon the distribution of shares of beneficial interest in CMMT to the shareholders of DCAF pursuant to Section 354 of the Code. 4. Under Section 361(a) of the Code no gain or loss will be recognized by DCAF by reason of the transfer of substantially all of its assets solely in exchange for shares of CMMT. 5. Under Section 1032 of the Code no gain or loss will be recognized by CMMT by reason of the transfer of DCAF's assets solely in exchange for shares of CMMT and CMMT's assumption of certain liabilities of DCAF. 6. The stockholders of DCAF will have the same tax basis and holding period for the shares of beneficial interest in CMMT that they receive as they had for the stock of DCAF that they previously held, pursuant to Sections 358(a) and 1223(l), respectively, of the Code. 7. The securities transferred by DCAF to CMMT will have the same tax basis and holding period in the hands of CMMT as they had for DCAF, pursuant to Sections 362(b) and 1223(l), respectively, of the Code.
