4.         COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENT RULES AND REGULATIONS. PFPC undertakes to
           comply with all applicable requirements of the Securities Laws, and
           any laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having
           jurisdiction with respect to the duties to be performed by PFPC
           hereunder. Except as specifically set forth herein, PFPC assumes no
           responsibility for such compliance by Monument or the Fund or any
           other entity.

5.         INSTRUCTIONS.

              (a)  Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, PFPC shall act
           only upon Oral Instructions or Written Instructions.

              (b)  PFPC shall be entitled to rely upon any Oral Instruction or
           Written Instruction it

                                                                               3
<PAGE>   4

           receives from an Authorized Person (or from a person reasonably
           believed by PFPC to be an Authorized Person) pursuant to this
           Agreement. PFPC may assume that any Oral Instructions or Written
           Instruction received hereunder is not in any way inconsistent with
           the provisions of organizational documents or this Agreement or of
           any vote, resolution or proceeding of the Fund's Board of Trustees or
           of the Fund's shareholders, unless and until PFPC receives Written
           Instructions to the contrary.

                      (c) Monument agrees to forward to PFPC Written
           Instructions confirming Oral Instructions so that PFPC receives the
           Written Instructions by the close of business on the same day that
           such Oral Instructions are received. The fact that such confirming
           Written Instructions are not received by PFPC or differ from the Oral
           Instructions shall in no way invalidate the transactions or
           enforceability of the transactions authorized by the Oral
           Instructions or PFPC's ability to rely upon such Oral Instructions.
           Where Oral Instructions or Written Instructions reasonably appear to
           have been received from an Authorized Person, PFPC shall incur no
           liability for acting upon such Oral Instructions or Written
           Instructions provided that PFPC's actions comply with the other
           provisions of this Agreement.

6.         RIGHT TO RECEIVE ADVICE.

                     (a) Advice of Monument and/or the Fund. If PFPC is in doubt
           as to any action it should or should not take, PFPC may request
           directions or advice, including Oral Instructions or Written
           Instructions, from Monument and/or the Fund.

                     (b) Advice of Counsel. If PFPC shall be in doubt as to any
           question of law pertaining to any action it should or should not
           take, PFPC may request that the Fund seek

                                                                               4
<PAGE>   5

           guidance from its counsel. Alternatively, PFPC, at its own expense,
           may request advice from counsel of its own choosing (who may be
           counsel for Monument, the Fund, the Fund's investment advisor or
           PFPC, at the option of PFPC).

                     (c) Conflicting Advice. In the event of a conflict between
           directions, advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions PFPC
           receives from Monument and/or the Fund and the advice PFPC receives
           from its own counsel, the parties will address the issue together and
           agree on the appropriate course of action with the assistance of
           counsel and/or the Fund's independent public accountants; provided
           that if the parties are not able to agree on a course of action, PFPC
           may inform Monument of such fact and rely upon and follow the advice
           of its own counsel.

                      (d) Protection of PFPC. PFPC shall be protected in any
           action it takes or does not take in reliance upon directions or
           advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions it receives from
           Monument and/or the Fund or from counsel and which PFPC believes, in
           good faith based on standards considered reasonable in the industry,
           to be consistent with those directions or advice and Oral
           Instructions or Written Instructions. Nothing in this section shall
           be construed so as to impose an obligation upon PFPC (i) to seek such
           directions or advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions, or
           (ii) to act in accordance with such directions or advice or Oral
           Instructions or Written Instructions unless, under the terms of other
           provisions of this Agreement, the same is a condition of PFPC's
           properly taking or not taking such action.

7.         RECORDS; VISITS. The books and records pertaining to the Fund and the
           Portfolios which are

                                                                               5
<PAGE>   6

           in the possession or under the control of PFPC shall be the property
           of the Fund. Monument, the Fund and Authorized Persons, shall have
           access to such books and records at all times during PFPC's normal
           business hours. Upon the reasonable request of Monument or the Fund,
           copies of any such books and records shall be provided by PFPC to
           Monument, the Fund or to an Authorized Person at Monument's expense
           (payable out of the assets of the Fund). PFPC shall keep the
           following records:

              (a)  all books and records with respect to the Fund's books of
                   account, as required and consistent with the standards
                   presumed by the 1940 Act.

              (b)  records of each Portfolio's securities transaction.

8.         CONFIDENTIALITY. Each party shall keep confidential any information
           relating to the others' business ("Confidential Information"). (For
           clarification, this Section 8 relates only to the Confidential
           Information of the Fund and PFPC.) Confidential Information shall
           include (a) any data or information that is competitively sensitive
           material, and not generally known to the public, including, but not
           limited to, information about product plans, marketing strategies,
           finances, operations, customer relationships, customer profiles,
           customer lists, sales estimates, business plans, and internal

           activities of the Fund or PFPC, their respective subsidiaries and
           affiliated companies and the customers, clients and suppliers of any
           of them; (b) any scientific or technical information, design,
           process, procedure, formula, or improvement that is commercially
           valuable and secret in the sense that its confidentiality affords the
           Fund or PFPC a competitive advantage over its competitors; (c) all
           confidential or proprietary

                                                                               6

           software, source code, object code, flow charts, databases,
           inventions, know-how, and trade secrets, whether or not patentable or
           copyrightable; and (d) anything designated as confidential.
           Notwithstanding the foregoing, information shall not be subject to
           such confidentiality obligations if it: (a) is already known to the
           receiving party at the time it is obtained; (b) is or becomes
           publicly known or available through no wrongful act of the receiving
           party; (c) is rightfully received from a third party who, to the best
           of the receiving party's knowledge, is not under a duty of
           confidentiality; (d) is released by the protected party to a third
           party without restriction; (e) is required to be disclosed by the
           receiving party pursuant to a requirement of a court order, subpoena,
           governmental or regulatory agency or law (provided the receiving
           party will provide the party whose information being disclosed
           written notice of such requirement, to the extent such notice is
           permitted); (f) is relevant to the defense of any claim or cause of
           action asserted against the receiving party; or (g) has been or is
           independently developed or obtained by the receiving party.

9.         LIAISON WITH ACCOUNTANTS. PFPC shall act as liaison with the Fund's
           independent public accountants and shall provide account analyses,
           fiscal year summaries, and other audit-related schedules with respect
           to each Portfolio. PFPC shall take all reasonable action in the
           performance of its duties under this Agreement to assure that the
           necessary information is made available to such accountants for the
           expression of their opinion, as required by Monument or (upon request
           by Monument or the Fund) the Securities Laws.

10.        PFPC SYSTEM. To the extent PFPC has a prior legal right to such
           property, PFPC shall retain

                                                                               7
<PAGE>   8

           title to and ownership of any and all data bases, computer programs,
           screen formats, report formats, interactive design techniques,
           derivative works, inventions, discoveries, patentable or
           copyrightable matters, concepts, expertise, patents, copyrights,
           trade secrets, and other related legal rights utilized by PFPC in
           connection with the services provided by PFPC hereunder.

11.        DISASTER RECOVERY. PFPC shall enter into and shall maintain in effect
           with appropriate parties one or more agreements making reasonable
           provisions for emergency use of electronic data processing equipment
           to the extent appropriate equipment is available. In the event of
           equipment failures, PFPC shall, at no additional expense to Monument
           or the Fund, take reasonable steps to minimize service interruptions.
           PFPC shall have no liability with respect to the loss of data or
           service interruptions caused by equipment failure provided such loss
           or interruption is not caused by PFPC's own willful misfeasance, bad
           faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties or
           obligations under this Agreement.

12.        COMPENSATION. As compensation for services rendered by PFPC during
           the term of this Agreement, Monument will pay to PFPC (out of the
           assets of the Fund) a fee or fees as may be agreed to in writing by
           Monument, the Fund and PFPC.

13.        INDEMNIFICATION. Monument agrees to indemnify and hold harmless PFPC
           and its affiliates (out of the assets of the Fund) from all taxes,
           charges, expenses, assessments, claims and liabilities (including,
           without limitation, attorneys' fees and disbursements and liabilities
           arising under the Securities Laws and any state and foreign
           securities and blue sky laws) arising directly or indirectly from any
           action or omission to act which PFPC takes in

                                                                               8
<PAGE>   9

           connection with the provision of services hereunder. Neither PFPC,
           nor any of its affiliates, shall be indemnified against any liability
           (or any expenses incident to such liability) caused by PFPC's or its
           affiliates' own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or
           reckless disregard of its duties and obligations under this
           Agreement. Any amounts payable under this Section 13 shall be
           satisfied only against the relevant Portfolio's assets and not
           against the assets of any other investment portfolio of the Fund.

14.        RESPONSIBILITY OF PFPC.

           (a)       PFPC shall be under no duty hereunder to take any action
                     hereunder except as specifically set forth herein or as may
                     be specifically agreed to by PFPC, Monument and the Fund in
                     a written amendment hereto. PFPC shall be obligated to
                     exercise care and diligence in the performance of its
                     duties hereunder and to act in good faith in performing
                     services provided for under this Agreement. PFPC shall be
                     liable only for any damages arising out of PFPC's failure
                     to perform its duties under this Agreement to the extent
                     such damages arise out of PFPC's willful misfeasance, bad
                     faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of such
                     duties.

           (b)       Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of any
                     other provision of this Agreement, (i) PFPC shall not be
                     liable for losses beyond its control, including without
                     limitation (subject to Section 11), delays or errors or
                     loss of data occurring by reason of circumstances beyond
                     PFPC's control, provided that PFPC has acted in accordance
                     with the standard set forth in Section 14(a) above; and
                     (ii) PFPC shall not be under any duty or obligation to
                     inquire into and shall not be liable for the validity

                                                                               9
<PAGE>   10

                     or invalidity or authority or lack thereof of any Oral
                     Instruction or Written Instruction, notice or other
                     instrument which conforms to the applicable requirements
                     of this Agreement, and which PFPC reasonably believes to
                     be genuine.

           (c)       Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
                     neither PFPC nor its affiliates shall be liable for any
                     consequential, special or indirect losses or damages,
                     whether or not the likelihood of such losses or damages was
                     known by PFPC or its affiliates. Notwithstanding anything
                     in this Agreement to the contrary, PFPC's cumulative
                     liability to Monument and the Fund for all losses, claims,
                     suits, controversies, breaches or damages for any cause
                     whatsoever (including but not limited to those arising out
                     of or related to this Agreement) and regardless of the form
                     of action or legal theory shall not exceed the fees
                     received by PFPC for services provided hereunder during the
                     12 months immediately prior to the date of such loss or
                     damage, unless such loss or damage is finally determined by
                     a state or federal court having jurisdiction to have been
                     proximately and directly caused by PFPC's gross negligence.

                     No party may assert a cause of action against PFPC or any
                     of its affiliates that allegedly occurred more than 12
                     months immediately prior to the filing of the suit (or, if
                     applicable, commencement of mediation sessions or
                     arbitration proceedings) alleging such cause of action;
                     except, however, that this proscription will not apply (i)
                     unless Monument or the Fund had knowledge of the
                     circumstances and accordingly knew or should have known of
                     the existence of the claim during that

                                                                              10
<PAGE>   11

                     time period; (ii) if PFPC or any of its affiliates
                     withheld information from the party asserting the claim
                     that would have been deemed material in the decision to
                     file a claim; (iii) if PFPC or any of its affiliates
                     employed delaying tactics that resulted in the passage of
                     the time period during which a claim would have been filed
                     but for the delaying tactics; or (iv) if, during the
                     12-month period following the action giving rise to the
                     claim, the party asserting the claim notifies PFPC or any
                     of its affiliates in writing of its intent to commence a
                     legal action once sufficient information has been
                     collected.

           (e)       Each party shall have a duty to mitigate damages for which
                     another party may become responsible.

Agreement dated June 28, 2000 among Monument Series Fund, Inc. (the "Fund"),
Monument Shareholder Services, Inc. (the "Administrator") and PFPC (the
"Agreement") as amended from time to time for services provided on behalf of
each of the Fund's investment portfolios ("Portfolios"). Pursuant to Paragraph
12 of the Agreement, and in consideration of the services to be provided to each
Portfolio, the Administrator will pay PFPC, an annual sub-accounting services
fee to be calculated daily and paid monthly as set forth below.

ASSET BASED FEES:

           The following annual fee will be calculated based upon each
Portfolio's average net assets and paid monthly:

           .10% of each Portfolio's first $250 million of average daily net
           assets;
           .075% of each Portfolio's next $250 million of average daily net
           assets;
           .05% of each Portfolio's next $250 million of average daily net
           assets;
           .03% of each Portfolio's next $250 million of average daily net
           assets; and,
           .02% of each Portfolio's average daily net assets in excess of $1.5
           billion.

MINIMUM MONTHLY FEE:

           The minimum monthly fee will be $18,750 for the Fund complex
allocated across the three existing Portfolios. The total minimum monthly fee
will be increased by $6,250 for each new Portfolio, beyond the three existing
Portfolios, and will be allocated across all the Fund's Portfolios. The minimum
monthly fee is exclusive of out-of-pocket expenses.

MONTHLY MULTIPLE CLASS FEE:                         Waived

OUT-OF-POCKET EXPENSES:

           The Administrator will reimburse PFPC for out-of-pocket expenses
incurred on the Fund's behalf, including, but not limited to, postage,
telephone, telex, overnight express charges, deconversion costs, costs to obtain
independent security market quotes, processing fees related to initial Blue Sky
filings and travel expenses incurred for Board meeting attendance.

                                                                               1
<PAGE>   21

MISCELLANEOUS:

           Any fee or out-of-pocket expenses not paid within 30 days of the date
of the original invoice will be charged a late payment fee of 1% per month until
payment of the fees are received by PFPC.

           The fee for the period from the date hereof until the end of that
year shall be prorated according to the proportion which such period bears to
the full annual period.

           If the foregoing accurately sets forth our agreement and you intend
to be legally bound thereby, please execute a copy of this letter and return it
to us.

                                    Very truly yours,
