Investment Management Agreement
Government Securities Portfolio
Treasury Portfolio
Ladies and Gentlemen:
INVESTORS CASH TRUST (the "Trust") has been established as a
Massachusetts business trust to engage in the business of an
investment company. Pursuant to the Trust's Declaration of Trust,
as amended from time-to-time (the "Declaration"), the Board of
Trustees is authorized to issue the Trust's shares of beneficial
interest (the "Shares"), in separate series, or funds. The Board
of Trustees has authorized the Government Securities Portfolio
and the Treasury Portfolio (each a "Fund" and collectively, the
"Funds"). Series may be abolished and dissolved, and additional
series established, from time to time by action of the Trustees.
The Trust, on behalf of the Funds, has selected you to act as the
investment manager of the Funds and to provide certain other
services, as more fully set forth below, and you have indicated
that you are willing to act as such investment manager and to
perform such services under the terms and conditions hereinafter
set forth. In the event the Trust establishes one or more
additional series with respect to which it desires to retain you
to render the services described hereunder, it shall notify you
in writing. If you are willing to render such services, you
shall notify the Trust in writing, whereupon such series shall
become a fund hereunder. Accordingly, the Trust on behalf of the
Funds agrees with you as follows:
1. Delivery of Documents. The Trust engages in the business of
investing and reinvesting the assets of each Fund in the manner
and in accordance with the investment objectives, policies and
restrictions specified in the currently effective Prospectus (the
"Prospectus") and Statement of Additional Information (the "SAI")
relating to each Fund included in the Trust's Registration
Statement on Form N-1A, as amended from time to time, (the
"Registration Statement") filed by the Trust under the Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, (the "1940 Act") and the
Securities Act of 1933, as amended. Copies of the documents
referred to in the preceding sentence have been furnished to you
by the Trust. The Trust has also furnished you with copies
properly certified or authenticated of each of the following
additional documents related to the Trust and the Funds:
(a) The Declaration, as amended to date.
(b) By-Laws of the Trust as in effect on the date hereof
(the "By- Laws").
(c) Resolutions of the Trustees of the Trust and the
shareholders of each Fund selecting you as investment
manager and approving the form of this Agreement.
(d) Establishment and Designation of Series of Shares of
Beneficial Interest relating to the Funds, as
applicable.
The Trust will furnish you from time to time with copies,
properly certified or authenticated, of all amendments of or
supplements, if any, to the foregoing, including the Prospectus,
the SAI and the Registration Statement.
2. Portfolio Management Services. As manager of the assets of
the Funds, you shall provide continuing investment management of
the assets of the Funds in accordance with the investment
objectives, policies and restrictions set forth in the Prospectus
and SAI; the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act and the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the "Code") relating
to regulated investment companies and all rules and regulations
thereunder; and all other applicable federal and state laws and
regulations of which you have knowledge; subject always to
policies and instructions adopted by the Trust's Board of
Trustees. In connection therewith, you shall use reasonable
efforts to manage each Fund so that it will qualify as a
regulated investment company under Subchapter M of the Code and
regulations issued thereunder. The Funds shall have the benefit
of the investment analysis and research, the review of current
economic conditions and trends and the consideration of long-
range investment policy generally available to your investment
advisory clients. In managing the Funds in accordance with the
requirements set forth in this section 2, you shall be entitled
to receive and act upon advice of counsel to the Trust. You shall
also make available to the Trust promptly upon request all of the
Funds' investment records and ledgers as are necessary to assist
the Trust in complying with the requirements of the 1940 Act and
other applicable laws. To the extent required by law, you shall
furnish to regulatory authorities having the requisite authority
any information or reports in connection with the services
provided pursuant to this Agreement which may be requested in
order to ascertain whether the operations of the Trust are being
conducted in a manner consistent with applicable laws and
regulations.
You shall determine the securities, instruments, investments,
currencies, repurchase agreements, futures, options and other
contracts relating to investments to be purchased, sold or
entered into by each Fund and place orders with broker-dealers,
foreign currency dealers, futures commission merchants or others
pursuant to your determinations and all in accordance with Fund
policies as expressed in the Registration Statement. You shall
determine what portion of each Fund's portfolio shall be invested
in securities and other assets and what portion, if any, should
be held uninvested.
You shall furnish to the Trust's Board of Trustees periodic
reports on the investment performance of each Fund and on the
performance of your obligations pursuant to this Agreement, and
you shall supply such additional reports and information as the
Trust's officers or Board of Trustees shall reasonably request.
3. Administrative Services. In addition to the portfolio
management services specified above in section 2, you shall
furnish at your expense for the use of the Funds such office
space and facilities in the United States as the Funds may
require for its reasonable needs, and you (or one or more of your
affiliates designated by you) shall render to the Trust
administrative services on behalf of the Funds necessary for
operating as an open end investment company and not provided by
persons not parties to this Agreement including, but not limited
to, preparing reports to and meeting materials for the Trust's
Board of Trustees and reports and notices to Fund shareholders;

"SEC") and other regulatory and self-regulatory organizations,

under applicable federal and state securities laws; maintaining
or causing to be maintained for the Funds all books, records and

the extent that such books, records and reports and other
information are not maintained by the Funds' custodian or other
agents of the Funds; assisting in establishing the accounting
policies of the Funds; assisting in the resolution of accounting
issues that may arise with respect to the Funds' operations and
consulting with the Funds' independent accountants, legal counsel
and the Funds' other agents as necessary in connection therewith;
establishing and monitoring each Fund's operating expense
budgets; reviewing each Fund's bills; processing the payment of
bills that have been approved by an authorized person; assisting
the Funds in determining the amount of dividends and
distributions available to be paid by each Fund to its

dividend paying agent, the custodian, and the accounting agent
with such information as is required for such parties to effect
the payment of dividends and distributions; and otherwise
assisting the Trust as it may reasonably request in the conduct
of the Funds' business, subject to the direction and control of
the Trust's Board of Trustees. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
deemed to shift to you or to diminish the obligations of any
agent of the Funds or any other person not a party to this
Agreement which is obligated to provide services to the Funds.
4. Allocation of Charges and Expenses. Except as otherwise
specifically provided in this section 4, you shall pay the
compensation and expenses of all Trustees, officers and executive
employees of the Trust (including each Fund's share of payroll
taxes) who are affiliated persons of you, and you shall make
available, without expense to the Funds, the services of such of
your directors, officers and employees as may duly be elected
officers of the Trust, subject to their individual consent to
serve and to any limitations imposed by law. You shall provide at
your expense the portfolio management services described in
section 2 hereof and the administrative services described in
section 3 hereof.
You shall not be required to pay any expenses of the Funds other
than those specifically allocated to you in this section 4. In
particular, but without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
you shall not be responsible, except to the extent of the
reasonable compensation of such of the Funds' Trustees and
officers as are directors, officers or employees of you whose
services may be involved, for the following expenses of each
Fund: organization expenses of each Fund (including out of-pocket
expenses, but not including your overhead or employee costs);
fees payable to you and to any other Fund advisors or
consultants; legal expenses; auditing and accounting expenses;
maintenance of books and records which are required to be
maintained by the Funds' custodian or other agents of the Trust;
telephone, telex, facsimile, postage and other communications
expenses; taxes and governmental fees; fees, dues and expenses
incurred by the Funds in connection with membership in investment
company trade organizations; fees and expenses of the Funds'
accounting agent for which the Trust is responsible pursuant to
the terms of the Fund Accounting Services Agreement, custodians,
subcustodians, transfer agents, dividend disbursing agents and
registrars; payment for portfolio pricing or valuation services
to pricing agents, accountants, bankers and other specialists, if
any; expenses of preparing share certificates and, except as
provided below in this section 4, other expenses in connection
with the issuance, offering, distribution, sale, redemption or
repurchase of securities issued by each Fund; expenses relating
to investor and public relations; expenses and fees of
registering or qualifying Shares of each Fund for sale; interest
charges, bond premiums and other insurance expense; freight,
insurance and other charges in connection with the shipment of
each Fund's portfolio securities; the compensation and all
expenses (specifically including travel expenses relating to
Trust business) of Trustees, officers and employees of the Trust
who are not affiliated persons of you; brokerage commissions or
other costs of acquiring or disposing of any portfolio securities
of the Funds; expenses of printing and distributing reports,
notices and dividends to shareholders; expenses of printing and
mailing Prospectuses and SAIs of each Fund and supplements
thereto; costs of stationery; any litigation expenses;
indemnification of Trustees and officers of the Trust; and costs
of shareholders' and other meetings.
You shall not be required to pay expenses of any activity which
is primarily intended to result in sales of Shares of a Fund if
and to the extent that (i) such expenses are required to be borne
by a principal underwriter which acts as the distributor of a
Fund's Shares pursuant to an underwriting agreement which
provides that the underwriter shall assume some or all of such
expenses, or (ii) the Trust on behalf of a Fund shall have
adopted a plan in conformity with Rule 12b-1 under the 1940 Act
providing that a Fund (or some other party) shall assume some or
all of such expenses. You shall be required to pay such of the
foregoing sales expenses as are not required to be paid by the
principal underwriter pursuant to the underwriting agreement or
are not permitted to be paid by a Fund (or some other party)
pursuant to such a plan.
5. Management Fee. For all services to be rendered, payments to
be made and costs to be assumed by you as provided in sections 2,
3, and 4 hereof, the Trust on behalf of the Funds shall pay you
in United States Dollars on the last day of each month the unpaid
balance of a fee equal to the excess of (a) 1/12 of .15 of 1
percent of the combined average daily net assets as defined below
of the Funds for such month; over (b) any compensation waived by
you from time to time (as more fully described below). You shall
be entitled to receive during any month such interim payments of
your fee hereunder as you shall request, provided that no such
payment shall exceed 75 percent of the amount of your fee then
accrued on the books of the Funds and unpaid.
The "average daily net assets" of a Fund shall mean the average
of the values placed on a Fund's net assets as of 4:00 p.m. (New
York time) on each day on which the net asset value of the Fund
is determined consistent with the provisions of Rule 22c-1 under
the 1940 Act or, if the Fund lawfully determines the value of its
net assets as of some other time on each business day, as of such
time. The value of the net assets of a Fund shall always be
determined pursuant to the applicable provisions of the
Declaration and the Registration Statement. If the determination
of net asset value does not take place for any particular day,
then for the purposes of this section 5, the value of the net
assets of such Fund as last determined shall be deemed to be the
value of its net assets as of 4:00 p.m. (New York time), or as of
such other time as the value of the net assets of the Fund's
portfolio may be lawfully determined on that day. If a Fund
determines the value of the net assets of its portfolio more than
once on any day, then the last such determination thereof on that
day shall be deemed to be the sole determination thereof on that
day for the purposes of this section 5.
You may waive all or a portion of your fees provided for
hereunder and such waiver shall be treated as a reduction in
purchase price of your services. You shall be contractually bound
hereunder by the terms of any publicly announced waiver of your
fee, or any limitation of the Funds' expenses, as if such waiver
or limitation were fully set forth herein.
6. Avoidance of Inconsistent Position; Services Not Exclusive.
In connection with purchases or sales of portfolio securities and
other investments for the account of the Funds, neither you nor
any of your directors, officers or employees shall act as a
principal or agent or receive any commission. You or your agent
shall arrange for the placing of all orders for the purchase and
sale of portfolio securities and other investments for each
Fund's account with brokers or dealers selected by you in
accordance with Fund policies as expressed in the Registration
Statement. If any occasion should arise in which you give any
advice to clients of yours concerning the Shares of a Fund, you
shall act solely as investment counsel for such clients and not
in any way on behalf of such Fund.
Your services to the Funds pursuant to this Agreement are not to
be deemed to be exclusive and it is understood that you may
render investment advice, management and services to others. In
acting under this Agreement, you shall be an independent
contractor and not an agent of the Trust. Whenever a Fund and one
or more other accounts or investment companies advised by you
have available funds for investment, investments suitable and
appropriate for each shall be allocated in accordance with
procedures believed by you to be equitable to each entity.
Similarly, opportunities to sell securities shall be allocated in
a manner believed by you to be equitable. The Funds recognize
that in some cases this procedure may adversely affect the size
of the position that may be acquired or disposed of for the
Funds.
7. Limitation of Liability of Manager. As an inducement to your
undertaking to render services pursuant to this Agreement, the
Trust agrees that you shall not be liable under this Agreement
for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss
suffered by a Fund in connection with the matters to which this
Agreement relates, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall
be deemed to protect or purport to protect you against any
liability to the Trust, the Funds or their shareholders to which
you would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance,
bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of your duties,
or by reason of your reckless disregard of your obligations and
duties hereunder.
8. Duration and Termination of This Agreement. This Agreement
shall remain in force until December 1, 1998, and continue in
force from year to year thereafter with respect to each Fund, but
only so long as such continuance is specifically approved for
each Fund at least annually (a) by the vote of a majority of the
Trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or interested
persons of any party to this Agreement, cast in person at a
meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and
(b) by the Trustees of the Trust, or by the vote of a majority of
the outstanding voting securities of such Fund. The aforesaid
requirement that continuance of this Agreement be "specifically
approved at least annually" shall be construed in a manner
consistent with the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations
thereunder and any applicable SEC exemptive order therefrom.
This Agreement may be terminated with respect to a Fund at any
time, without the payment of any penalty, by the vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Fund or by
the Trust's Board of Trustees on 60 days' written notice to you,
or by you on 60 days' written notice to the Trust. This Agreement
shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment.
This Agreement may be terminated with respect to a Fund at any
time without the payment of any penalty by the Board of Trustees
or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of
such Fund in the event that it shall have been established by a
court of competent jurisdiction that you or any of your officers
or directors has taken any action which results in a breach of
your covenants set forth herein.
9. Amendment of this Agreement. No provision of this Agreement
may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only
by an instrument in writing signed by the party against whom
enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is
sought, and no amendment of this Agreement shall be effective
until approved in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and rules
and regulations thereunder and any applicable SEC exemptive order
therefrom.
10. Limitation of Liability for Claims. The Declaration, a copy
of which, together with all amendments thereto, is on file in the
Office of the Secretary of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts,
provides that the name "Investors Cash Trust" refers to the
Trustees under the Declaration collectively as Trustees and not
as individuals or personally, and that no shareholder of a Fund,
or Trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Trust, shall be
subject to claims against or obligations of the Trust or of a
Fund to any extent whatsoever, but that the Trust estate only
shall be liable.
You are hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of
liability as set forth in the Declaration and you agree that the
obligations assumed by the Trust on behalf of each Fund pursuant
to this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to each Fund and
its assets, and you shall not seek satisfaction of any such
obligation from the shareholders or any shareholder of a Fund or
any other series of the Trust, or from any Trustee, officer,
employee or agent of the Trust. You understand that the rights
and obligations of each Fund, or series, under the Declaration
are separate and distinct from those of any and all other series.
11. Miscellaneous. The captions in this Agreement are included
for convenience of reference only and in no way define or limit
any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their
construction or effect. This Agreement may be executed
simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall
be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.
In interpreting the provisions of this Agreement, the definitions
contained in Section 2(a) of the 1940 Act (particularly the
definitions of "affiliated person," "assignment" and "majority of
the outstanding voting securities"), as from time to time
amended, shall be applied, subject, however, to such exemptions
as may be granted by the SEC by any rule, regulation or order.
This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of
the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, provided that nothing herein
shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the 1940 Act, or
in a manner which would cause a Fund to fail to comply with the
requirements of Subchapter M of the Code.
This Agreement shall supersede all prior investment advisory or
management agreements entered into between you and the Trust on
behalf of the Funds.
If you are in agreement with the foregoing, please execute the
form of acceptance on the accompanying counterpart of this letter
and return such counterpart to the Trust, whereupon this letter
shall become a binding contract effective as of the date of this
Agreement.
Yours very truly,
INVESTORS CASH TRUST, on

In consideration of the mutual covenants hereinafter

distributions, or otherwise; or (b) issue or sell shares at net
asset value to the shareholders of any other investment company,
for which KDI shall act as exclusive distributor, who wish to
exchange all or a portion of their investment in shares of such
other investment company for shares of the Fund. KDI shall
appoint various financial service firms ("Firms") to provide
distribution services to investors. The Firms shall provide such
office space and equipment, telephone facilities, personnel,
literature distribution, advertising and promotion as is
necessary or beneficial for providing information and
distribution services to existing and potential clients of the
Firms. KDI may also provide some of the above services for the
Fund.
KDI accepts such appointment as distributor and principal
underwriter and agrees to render such services and to assume the
obligations herein set forth for the compensation herein
provided. KDI shall for all purposes herein provided be deemed
to be an independent contractor and, unless expressly provided
herein or otherwise authorized, shall have no authority to act
for or represent the Fund in any way. KDI, by separate agreement
with the Fund, may also serve the Fund in other capacities. The
services of KDI to the Fund under this Agreement are not to be
deemed exclusive, and KDI shall be free to render similar
services or other services to others so long as its services
hereunder are not impaired thereby.
In carrying out its duties and responsibilities hereunder,
KDI will, pursuant to separate written contracts, appoint various
Firms to provide advertising, promotion and other distribution
services contemplated hereunder directly to or for the benefit of
existing and potential shareholders who may be clients of such
Firms. Such Firms shall at all times be deemed to be independent
contractors retained by KDI and not the Fund.
KDI shall use its best efforts with reasonable promptness to
sell such part of the authorized shares of the Fund remaining
unissued as from time to time shall be effectively registered
under the Securities Act of 1933 ("Securities Act"), at prices
determined as hereinafter provided and on terms hereinafter set
forth, all subject to applicable federal and state laws and
regulations and to the Fund's organizational documents.
2. KDI shall sell shares of the Fund to or through
qualified Firms in such manner, not inconsistent with the
provisions hereof and the then effective registration statement
(and related prospectus) of the Fund under the Securities Act, as
KDI may determine from time to time, provided that no Firm or
other person shall be appointed or authorized to act as agent of
the Fund without prior consent of the Fund. In addition to sales
made by it as agent of the Fund, KDI may, in its discretion, also
sell shares of the Fund as principal to persons with whom it does
not have selling group agreements.
Shares of any class of any series of the Fund offered for
sale or sold by KDI shall be so offered or sold at a price per
share determined in accordance with the then current prospectus.
The price the Fund shall receive for all shares purchased from it
shall be the net asset value used in determining the public
offering price applicable to the sale of such shares. Any excess
of the sales price over the net asset value of the shares of the
Fund sold by KDI as agent shall be retained by KDI as a
commission for its services hereunder. KDI may compensate Firms
for sales of shares at the commission levels provided in the
Fund's prospectus from time to time. KDI may pay other
commissions, fees or concessions to Firms, any may pay them to
others in its discretion, in such amounts as KDI shall determine
from time to time. KDI shall be entitled to receive and retain
any applicable contingent deferred sales charge as described in
the Fund's prospectus. KDI shall also receive any distribution
services fee payable by the Fund as provided in the Fund's
Amended and Restated 12b-1 Plan, as amended from time to time
(the "Plan").
KDI will require each Firm to conform to the provisions
hereof and the Registration Statement (and related prospectus) at
the time in effect under the Securities Act with respect to the
public offering price or net asset value, as applicable, of the
Fund's shares, and neither KDI nor any such Firms shall withhold
the placing of purchase orders so as to make a profit thereby.
3. The Fund will use its best efforts to keep effectively
registered under the Securities Act for sale as herein
contemplated such shares as KDI shall reasonably request and as
the Securities and Exchange Commission shall permit to be so
registered. Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, the Fund
may terminate, suspend or withdraw the offering of shares
whenever, in its sole discretion, it deems such action to be
desirable.
4. The Fund will execute any and all documents and furnish
any and all information that may be reasonably necessary in
connection with the qualification of its shares for sale
(including the qualification of the Fund as a dealer where
necessary or advisable) in such states as KDI may reasonably
request (it being understood that the Fund shall not be required
without its consent to comply with any requirement which in its
opinion is unduly burdensome). The Fund will furnish to KDI from
time to time such information with respect to the Fund and its
shares as KDI may reasonably request for use in connection with
the sale of shares of the Fund.
5. KDI shall issue and deliver or shall arrange for
various Firms to issue and deliver on behalf of the Fund such
confirmations of sales made by it pursuant to this Agreement as
may be required. At or prior to the time of issuance of shares,
KDI will pay or cause to be paid to the Fund the amount due the
Fund for the sale of such shares. Certificates shall be issued
or shares registered on the transfer books of the Fund in such
names and denominations as KDI may specify.
6. KDI shall order shares of the Fund from the Fund only
to the extent that it shall have received purchase orders
therefor. KDI will not make, or authorize Firms or others to
make (a) any short sales of shares of the Fund; or (b) any sales
of such shares to any Board member or officer of the Fund or to
any officer or Board member of KDI or of any corporation or
association furnishing investment advisory, managerial or
supervisory services to the Fund, or to any corporation or
association, unless such sales are made in accordance with the
then current prospectus relating to the sale of such shares.
KDI, as agent of and for the account of the Fund, may repurchase
the shares of the Fund at such prices and upon such terms and
conditions as shall be specified in the current prospectus of the
Fund. In selling or reacquiring shares of the Fund for the
account of the Fund, KDI will in all respects conform to the
requirements of all state and federal laws and the Rules of Fair
Practice of the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc.,
relating to such sale or reacquisition, as the case may be, and
will indemnify and save harmless the Fund from any damage or
expense on account of any wrongful act by KDI or any employee,
representative or agent of KDI. KDI will observe and be bound by
all the provisions of the Fund's organizational documents (and of
any fundamental policies adopted by the Fund pursuant to the
Investment Company Act of 1940 (the "Investment Company Act"),
notice of which shall have been given to KDI) which at the time
in any way require, limit, restrict, prohibit or otherwise
regulate any action on the part of KDI hereunder.
7. The Fund shall assume and pay all charges and expenses
of its operations not specifically assumed or otherwise to be
provided by KDI under this Agreement or the Plan. The Fund will
pay or cause to be paid expenses (including the fees and
disbursements of its own counsel) of any registration of the Fund
and its shares under the United States securities laws and
expenses incident to the issuance of shares of beneficial
interest, such as the cost of share certificates, issue taxes,
and fees of the transfer agent. KDI will pay all expenses (other
than expenses which one or more Firms may bear pursuant to any
agreement with KDI) incident to the sale and distribution of the
shares issued or sold hereunder, including, without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, all (a) expenses of printing and
distributing any prospectus and of preparing, printing and
distributing or disseminating any other literature, advertising
and selling aids in connection with the offering of the shares
for sale (except that such expenses need not include expenses
incurred by the Fund in connection with the preparation,
typesetting, printing and distribution of any registration
statement or prospectus, report or other communication to
shareholders in their capacity as such), (b) expenses of
advertising in connection with such offering and (c) expenses
(other than the Fund's auditing expenses) of qualifying or
continuing the qualification of the shares for sale and, in
connection therewith, of qualifying or continuing the
qualification of the Fund as a dealer or broker under the laws of
such states as may be designated by KDI under the conditions
herein specified. No transfer taxes, if any, which may be
payable in connection with the issue or delivery or shares sold
as herein contemplated or of the certificates for such shares
shall be borne by the Fund, and KDI will indemnify and hold
harmless the Fund against liability for all such transfer taxes.
8. This Agreement shall become effective on the date
hereof and shall continue until December 1, 1999; and shall
continue from year to year thereafter only so long as such
continuance is approved in the manner required by the Investment
Company Act.
This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of
its assignment and may be terminated at any time without the
payment of any penalty by the Fund or by KDI on sixty (60) days'
written notice to the other party. The Fund may effect
termination with respect to any class of any series of the Fund
by a vote of (i) a majority of the Board members who are not
interested persons of the Fund and who have no direct or indirect
financial interest in the operation of the Plan, this Agreement,
or in any other agreement related to the Plan, or (ii) a majority
of the outstanding voting securities of such series or class.
Without prejudice to any other remedies of the Fund, the Fund may
terminate this Agreement at any time immediately upon KDI's
failure to fulfill any of its obligations hereunder.
All material amendments to this Agreement must be approved
by a vote of a majority of the Board, and of the Board members
who are not interested persons of the Fund and who have no direct
or indirect financial interest in the operation of the Plan, this
Agreement or in any other agreement related to the Plan, cast in
person at a meeting called for such purpose.
The terms "assignment," "interested person" and "vote of a
majority of the outstanding voting securities" shall have the
meanings set forth in the Investment Company Act and the rules
and regulations thereunder.
KDI shall receive such compensation for its distribution
services as set forth in the Plan. Termination of this Agreement
shall not affect the right of KDI to receive payments on any
unpaid balance of the compensation earned prior to such
termination, as set forth in the Plan.
9. KDI will not use or distribute, or authorize the use,
distribution or dissemination by Firms or others in connection
with the sale of Fund shares any statements other than those
contained in the Fund's current prospectus, except such
supplemental literature or advertising as shall be lawful under
federal and state securities laws and regulations. KDI will
furnish the Fund with copies of all such material.
10. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or
made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the
remainder shall not be thereby affected.
11. Any notice under this Agreement shall be in writing,
addressed and delivered or mailed, postage prepaid, to the other
party at such address as such other party may designate for the
receipt of such notice.
12. All parties hereto are expressly put on notice of the
Fund's Agreement and Declaration of Trust, and all amendments
thereto, all of which are on file with the Secretary of The
Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the limitation of shareholder
and trustee liability contained therein. This Agreement has been
executed by and on behalf of the Fund by its representatives as
such representatives and not individually, and the obligations of
the Fund hereunder are not binding upon any of the Trustees,
officers or shareholders of the Fund individually but are binding
upon only the assets and property of the Fund. With respect to
any claim by KDI for recovery of any liability of the Fund
arising hereunder allocated to a particular series or class,
whether in accordance with the express terms hereof or otherwise,
KDI shall have recourse solely against the assets of that series
or class to satisfy such claim and shall have no recourse against
the assets of any other series or class for such purpose.
13. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with
applicable federal law and with the laws of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
14. This Agreement is the entire contract between the
parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all
prior agreements between the parties relating to the subject
matter hereof.
