PAGE 11

17d-1(d)(7) under the Investment Company Act of 1940.
General. The Charter of the Corporation provides that
to the fullest extent permitted by Maryland or federal law,
no director of officer of the Corporation shall be
personally liable to the Corporation or the holders of
Shares for money damages and each director and officer shall
be indemnified by the Corporation; provided, however, that
nothing herein shall be deemed to protect any director or
officer of the Corporation against any liability to the
Corporation of the holders of Shares to which such director
or officer would otherwise be subject by reason of willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or
her office.
Article X, Section 10.01 of the Registrant's By-Laws
provides as follows:
Section 10.01.Indemnification and Payment of Expenses
in Advance: The Corporation shall indemnify any individual
("Indemnitee") who is a present or former director, officer,
employee, or agent of the Corporation, or who is or has been
serving at the request of the Corporation as a director,
officer, employee or agent of another corporation,
partnership, joint venture, trust or other enterprise, who,
by reason of his position was, is, or is threatened to be
made a party to any threatened, pending, or completed
action, suit, or proceeding, whether civil, criminal,
administrative, or investigative (hereinafter collectively
referred to as a "Proceeding") against any judgments,
penalties, fines, settlements, and reasonable expenses
(including attorneys' fees) incurred by such Indemnitee in
connection with any Proceeding, to the fullest extent that
such indemnification may be lawful under Maryland law. The
Corporation shall pay any reasonable expenses so incurred by
such Indemnitee in defending a Proceeding in advance of the
final disposition thereof to the fullest extent that such
advance payment may be lawful under Maryland law. Subject
to any applicable limitations and requirements set forth in
the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation and in these
By-Laws, any payment of indemnification or advance of
expenses shall be made in accordance with the procedures set
forth in Maryland law.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall
protect or purport to protect any Indemnitee against any
liability to which he would otherwise be subject by reason
of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence, or
reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of
his office ("Disabling Conduct").
PAGE 12
Anything in this Article X to the contrary
notwithstanding, no indemnification shall be made by the
Corporation to any Indemnitee unless:
(a) there is a final decision on the merits by a court
or other body before whom the Proceeding was
brought that the Indemnitee was not liable by
reason of Disabling Conduct; or
(b) in the absence of such a decision, there is a
reasonable determination, based upon a review of
the facts, that the Indemnitee was not liable by
reason of Disabling Conduct, which determination
shall be made by:
(i) the vote of a majority of a quorum of
directors who are neither "interested
persons" of the Corporation as defined in
Section 2(a)(19) of the Investment Company
Act, nor parties to the Proceeding; or
(ii) an independent legal counsel in a written
opinion.
Anything in this Article X to the contrary
notwithstanding, any advance of expenses by the Corporation
to any Indemnitee shall be made only upon the undertaking by
such Indemnitee to repay the advance unless it is ultimately
determined that such Indemnitee is entitled to
indemnification as above provided, and only if one of the
following conditions is met:
(a) the Indemnitee provides a security for his
undertaking; or
(b) the Corporation shall be insured against losses
arising by reason of any lawful advances; or
(c) there is a determination, based on a review of
readily available facts, that there is reason to
believe that the Indemnitee will ultimately be
found entitled to indemnification, which
determination shall be made by:
(i) a majority of a quorum of directors who are
neither "interested persons" of the
Corporation as defined in Section 2(a)(19) of
the Investment Company Act, nor parties to
the Proceeding; or
(ii) an independent legal counsel in a written
opinion.
PAGE 13
Section 10.02 of the Registrant's By-Laws provides as
follows:
Section 10.02. Insurance of Officers, Directors,
Employees and Agents: To the fullest extent permitted by
applicable Maryland law and by Section 17(h) of the
Investment Company Act, as from time to time amended, the
Corporation may purchase and maintain insurance on behalf of
any person who is or was a director, officer, employee, or
agent of the Corporation, or who is or was serving at the
request of the Corporation as a director, officer, employee,
or agent of another corporation, partnership, joint venture,
trust, or other enterprise, against any liability asserted
against him and incurred by him in or arising out of his
position, whether or not the Corporation would have the
power to indemnify him against such liability.
Insofar as indemnification for liability under the
Securities Act of 1933 may be permitted to directors,
officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant
to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant
has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and
Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public
policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for
indemnification against such liabilities (other than the
payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a
director, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in
the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is
asserted by such director, officer or controlling person in
connection with the securities being registered, the
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 whether
such indemnification by it is against public policy as
expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final
adjudication of such issue.

CUSTODIAN CONTRACT
This Contract by and between State Street Bank and Trust
Company, a Massachusetts trust company, having its principal
place of business at 225 Franklin Street, Boston, Massachusetts,
02110 (hereinafter called the "Custodian"), and each fund which
is listed on Appendix A (as such Appendix may be amended from
time to time) and which evidences its agreement to be bound
hereby by executing a copy of this Contract (each such fund
individually hereinafter called the "Fund," whose definition may
be found in Section 22),
WITNESSETH: That in consideration of the mutual covenants
and agreements hereinafter contained, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
1. Employment of Custodian and Property to be Held by It
The Fund hereby employs the Custodian as the custodian of
its assets, including securities it desires to be held in places
within the United States ("domestic securities") and securities
it desires to be held outside the United States ("foreign
securities") pursuant to the Governing Documents of the Fund.
The Fund agrees to deliver to the Custodian all securities and
cash now or hereafter owned or acquired by it, and all payments
of income, payments of principal or capital distributions
received by it with respect to all securities owned by the Fund
from time to time, and the cash consideration received by it for
such new or treasury shares of capital stock ("Shares") of the
Fund as may be issued or sold from time to time. The Custodian
shall not be responsible for any property of the Fund held or

With respect to domestic securities, upon receipt of "Proper

shall from time to time employ one or more sub-custodians located
in the United States, but only in accordance with an applicable
vote by the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund, and provided
that the Custodian shall have no more or less responsibility or
liability to the Fund on account of any actions or omissions of
any sub-custodian so employed than any such sub-custodian has to
the Custodian, and further provided that the Custodian shall not
release the sub-custodian from any responsibility or liability
unless mutually agreed upon by the parties in writing. With
respect to foreign securities and other assets of the Fund held
outside the United States, the Custodian shall employ Chase

PAGE 16
3. Duties of the Custodian with Respect to Property of the Fund
Held Outside of the United States
3.1 Appointment of Foreign Sub-Custodians. The Custodian
is authorized and instructed to employ Chase Manhattan Bank,
N.A, ("Chase") as sub-custodian for the Fund's securities,
cash and other assets maintained outside of the United
States ("foreign assets") all as described in the
Subcustodian Agreement between the Custodian and Chase.
Upon receipt of "Proper Instructions", together with a
certified resolution of the Fund's Board of
Directors/Trustees, the Custodian and the Fund may agree to
designate additional proper institutions and foreign
securities depositories to act as sub-custodians of the
Fund's foreign assets. Upon receipt of Proper Instructions
from the Fund, the Custodian shall cease the employment of
any one or more of such sub-custodians for maintaining
custody of the Fund's foreign assets.
3.2 Assets to be Held. The Custodian shall limit the
foreign assets maintained in the custody of foreign sub-
custodians to foreign assets specified under the terms of
the Subcustodian Agreement between the Custodian and Chase.
3.3 Foreign Securities Depositories. Except as may
otherwise be agreed upon in writing by the Custodian and the
Fund, foreign assets of the Fund shall be maintained in
foreign securities depositories only through arrangements
implemented by the banking institutions serving as sub-
custodians pursuant to the terms hereof.
3.4 Segregation of Securities. The Custodian shall
identify on its books as belonging to the Fund, the foreign
assets of the Fund held by Chase and by each foreign sub-
custodian.
3.5 Access of Independent Accountants of the Fund. Upon
request of the Fund, the Custodian will use its best efforts
(subject to applicable law) to arrange for the independent
accountants, officers or other representatives of the Fund
or the Custodian to be afforded access to the books and
records of Chase and any banking or other institution
employed as a sub-custodian for the Fund by Chase or the
Custodian insofar as such books and records relate to the
performance of Chase or such banking or other institution
under any agreement with the Custodian or Chase. Upon
request of the Fund, the Custodian shall furnish to the Fund
such reports (or portions thereof) of Chase's external
auditors as are available to the Custodian and which relate
directly to Chase's system of internal accounting controls
applicable to Chase's duties as a subcustodian or which
relate to the internal accounting controls of any
subcustodian employed by Chase with respect to foreign
assets of the Fund.
PAGE 17
3.6 Reports by Custodian. The Custodian will supply to the
Fund from time to time, as mutually agreed upon, statements
in respect of the foreign assets of the Fund held pursuant
to the terms of the Subcustodian Agreement between the
Custodian and Chase, including but not limited, to an
identification of entities having possession of the Fund's
foreign assets and advices or notifications of any transfers
of foreign assets to or from each custodial account
maintained by any sub-custodian on behalf of the Fund
indicating, as to foreign assets acquired for the Fund, the
identity of the entity having physical possession of such
foreign assets.
3.7 Transactions in Foreign Assets of the Fund. All
transactions with respect to the Fund's foreign assets shall
be in accordance with, and subject to, the provisions of the
Subcustodian Agreement between Chase and the Custodian.
3.8 Responsibility of Custodian, Sub-Custodian, and Fund.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Custodian
Contract, the Custodian shall not be liable to the Fund for
any loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim arising
out of or in connection with the maintenance of custody of
the Fund's foreign assets by Chase or by any other banking
institution or securities depository employed pursuant to
the terms of any Subcustodian Agreement between Chase and
the Custodian, except that the Custodian shall be liable for
any such loss, damage, cost, expense, liability or claim to
the extent provided in the Subcustodian Agreement between
Chase and the Custodian or attributable to the failure of
the Custodian to exercise the standard of care set forth in
Article 12 hereof in the performance of its duties under
this Contract or such Subcustodian Agreement. At the
election of the Fund, the Fund shall be entitled to be
subrogated to the rights of the Custodian under the
Subcustodian Agreement with respect to any claims arising
thereunder against Chase or any other banking institution or
securities depository employed by Chase if and to the extent
that the Fund has not been made whole therefor. As between
the Fund and the Custodian, the Fund shall be solely
responsible to assure that the maintenance of foreign
securities and cash pursuant to the terms of the
Subcustodian Agreement complies with all applicable rules,
regulations, interpretations and orders of the Securities
and Exchange Commission, and the Custodian assumes no
responsibility and makes no representations as to such
compliance.
3.9 Monitoring Responsibilities. With respect to the
Fund's foreign assets, the Custodian shall furnish annually
to the Fund, during the month of June, information
concerning the sub-custodians employed by the Custodian.
PAGE 18
Such information shall be similar in kind and scope to that
furnished to the Fund in connection with the initial
approval of this Contract. In addition, the Custodian will
promptly inform the Fund in the event that the Custodian
learns of a material adverse change in the financial
condition of a sub-custodian.
3.10 Branches of U.S. Banks. Except as otherwise set forth
in this Contract, the provisions of this Article 3 shall not
apply where the custody of the Fund's assets is maintained
in a foreign branch of a banking institution which is a
"bank" as defined by Section 2(a)(5) of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 which meets the qualification set forth
in Section 26(a) of said Act. The appointment of any such
branch as a sub-custodian shall be governed by Section 1 of
this Contract.
4. Payments for Repurchases or Redemptions and Sales of Shares
of the Fund
From such funds as may be available for the purpose but
subject to the limitations of the Governing Documents of the Fund
and any applicable votes of the Board of Directors/Trustees of
the Fund pursuant thereto, the Custodian shall, upon receipt of
instructions from the Transfer Agent, make funds available for
payment to holders of Shares who have delivered to the Transfer
Agent a request for redemption or repurchase of their Shares. In
connection with the redemption or repurchase of Shares of the
Fund, the Custodian is authorized upon receipt of instructions
from the Transfer Agent to wire funds to or through a commercial
bank designated by the redeeming shareholder. In connection with
the redemption or repurchase of Shares of the Fund, the Custodian
shall honor checks drawn on the Custodian by a holder of Shares,
which checks have been furnished by the Fund to the holder of
Shares, when presented to the Custodian in accordance with such
procedures and controls as are mutually agreed upon from time to
time between the Fund and the Custodian.
The Custodian shall receive from the distributor for the
Fund's Shares or from the Transfer Agent of the Fund and deposit
as received into the Fund's account such payments as are received
for Shares of the Fund issued or sold from time to time by the
Fund. The Custodian will provide timely notification to the Fund
and the Transfer Agent of any receipt by it of payments for
Shares of the Fund.
5. Proper Instructions
Proper Instructions as used herein means a writing signed or
initialled by one or more person or persons as the Board of
Directors/Trustees shall have from time to time authorized. Each
such writing shall set forth the specific transaction or type of
transaction involved, including a specific statement of the
purpose for which such action is requested, or shall be a blanket
instruction authorizing specific transactions of a repeated or
PAGE 19
routine nature. Oral instructions will be considered Proper
Instructions if the Custodian reasonably believes them to have
been given by a person authorized to give such instructions with
respect to the transaction involved. The Fund shall cause all
oral instructions to be confirmed in writing. Upon receipt of a
certificate of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary as to the
authorization by the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund
accompanied by a detailed description of procedures approved by
the Board of Directors/Trustees, Proper Instructions may include
communications effected directly between electro-mechanical or
electronic devices provided that the Board of Directors/Trustees
and the Custodian are satisfied that such procedures afford
adequate safeguards for the Fund's assets.
6. Actions Permitted without Express Authority
The Custodian may in its discretion, without express
authority from the Fund:
1) make payments to itself or others for minor
expenses of handling securities or other similar
items relating to its duties under this Contract,
provided that all such payments shall be accounted
for to the Fund;
2) surrender securities in temporary form for
securities in definitive form;
3) endorse for collection, in the name of the Fund,
checks, drafts and other negotiable instruments on
the same day as received; and
4) in general, attend to all non-discretionary
details in connection with the sale, exchange,
substitution, purchase, transfer and other
dealings with the securities and property of the
Fund except as otherwise directed by the Board of
Directors/Trustees of the Fund.
7. Evidence of Authority, Reliance on Documents
The Custodian shall be protected in acting upon any
instructions, notice, request, consent, certificate or other
instrument or paper reasonably and in good faith believed by it
to be genuine and to have been properly executed by or on behalf
of the Fund in accordance with Article 5 hereof. The Custodian
may receive and accept a certified copy of a vote of the Board of
Directors/Trustees of the Fund as conclusive evidence (a) of the
authority of any person to act in accordance with such vote or
(b) of any determination or of any action by the Board of
Directors/Trustees pursuant to the Governing Documents of the
Fund as described in such vote, and such vote may be considered
as in full force and effect until receipt by the Custodian of
written notice to the contrary. So long as and to the extent
that it is in the exercise of the standard of care set forth in
Article 12 hereof, the Custodian shall not be responsible for the
title, validity or genuineness of any property or evidence of
title thereto received by it or delivered by it pursuant to this
PAGE 20
Contract and shall be held harmless in acting upon any notice,
request, consent, certificate or other instrument reasonably
believed by it to be genuine and to be signed by the proper party
or parties.
8. Duties of Custodian with Respect to the Books of Account and
Calculation of Net Asset Value and Net Income
The Custodian shall cooperate with and supply necessary
information to the person or persons appointed by the Board of
Directors/Trustees of the Fund to keep the books of account of
the Fund and/or compute the net asset value per share of the
outstanding shares of the Fund or, if directed in writing to do
so by the Fund, shall itself keep such books of account and/or
compute such net asset value per share. If so directed, the
Custodian shall also calculate daily the net income of the Fund
as described in the Fund's currently effective prospectus and
shall advise the Fund and the Transfer Agent daily of the total
amounts of such net income and, if instructed in writing by an
officer of the Fund to do so, shall advise the Transfer Agent
periodically of the division of such net income among its various
components. The calculations of the net asset value per share
and the daily income of the Fund shall be made at the time or
times and in the manner described from time to time in the Fund's
currently effective prospectus.
9. Records, Inventory
The Custodian shall create and maintain all records relating
to its activities and obligations under this Contract in such
manner as will meet the obligations of the Fund under the
Investment Company Act of 1940, with particular attention to
Section 31 thereof and Rules 31a-1 and 31a-2 thereunder,
applicable federal and state tax laws and any other law or
administrative rules or procedures which may be applicable to the
Fund. All such records shall be the property of the Fund and
shall at all times during the regular business hours of the
Custodian be open for inspection and audit by duly authorized
officers, employees or agents of the Fund and employees and
agents of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and, in the
event of termination of this Agreement, will be delivered in
accordance with Section 14 hereof. The Custodian shall, at the
Fund's request, supply the Fund with a tabulation of securities
owned by the Fund and held by the Custodian and shall, when
requested to do so by the Fund and for such compensation as shall
be agreed upon between the Fund and the Custodian, include
certificate numbers in such tabulations. The Custodian shall
conduct a periodic inventory of all securities and other property
subject to this Agreement and provide to the Fund a periodic
reconciliation of the vaulted position of the Fund to the
appraised position of the Fund. The Custodian will promptly
report to the Fund the results of the reconciliation, indicating
any shortages or discrepancies uncovered thereby, and take
appropriate action to remedy any such shortages or discrepancies.
PAGE 21
10. Opinion of Fund's Independent Accountant
The Custodian shall cooperate with the Fund's independent
public accountants in connection with the annual and other audits
of the books and records of the Fund and take all reasonable
action, as the Fund may from time to time request, to provide
from year to year the necessary information to such accountants
for the expression of their opinion without any qualification as
to the scope of their examination, including but not limited to,
any opinion in connection with the preparation of the Fund's Form
N-lA, and Form N-SAR or other annual reports to the Securities
and Exchange Commission and with respect to any other
requirements of such Commission.
11. Compensation of Custodian
The Custodian shall be entitled to reasonable compensation
for its services and expenses as Custodian, as agreed upon from
time to time between the Fund and the Custodian.
12. Responsibility of Custodian
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement,
the Custodian shall be held to the exercise of reasonable care in
carrying out the provisions of this Contract, but shall be kept
indemnified by and shall be without liability to the Fund for any
action taken or omitted by it in good faith without negligence.
In order for the indemnification provision contained in this
Section to apply, it is understood that if in any case the Fund
may be asked to indemnify or save the Custodian harmless, the
Fund shall be fully and promptly advised of all pertinent facts
concerning the situation in question, and it is further
understood that the Custodian will use all reasonable care to
identify and notify the Fund promptly concerning any situation
which presents or appears likely to present the probability of
such a claim for indemnification against the Fund. The Fund,
shall have the option to defend the Custodian against any claim
which may be the subject of this indemnification, and in the
event that the Fund so elects, it will so notify the Custodian,
and thereupon the Fund shall take over complete defense of the
claim and the Custodian shall in such situation initiate no
further legal or other expenses for which it shall seek
indemnification under this Section. The Custodian shall in no
case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in
which the Fund will be asked to indemnify the Custodian except
with the Fund's prior written consent. Nothing herein shall be
construed to limit any right or cause of action on the part of
the Custodian under this Contract which is independent of any
right or cause of action on the part of the Fund. The Custodian
shall be entitled to rely on and may act upon advice of counsel
(who may be counsel for the Fund or such other counsel as may be
agreed to by the parties) on all matters, and shall be without
liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted pursuant to
such advice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the responsibility
PAGE 22
of the Custodian with respect to redemptions effected by check
shall be in accordance with a separate Agreement entered into
between the Custodian and the Fund.
If the Fund requires the Custodian to take any action with
respect to securities, which action involves the payment of money
or which action may, in the opinion of the Custodian, result in
the Custodian or its nominee assigned to the Fund being liable
for the payment of money or incurring liability of some other
form, the Fund, as a prerequisite to requiring the Custodian to
take such action, shall provide indemnity to the Custodian in an
amount and form satisfactory to it.
If the Fund requires the Custodian to advance cash or
securities for any purpose or in the event that the Custodian or
its nominee shall incur or be assessed any taxes, charges,
expenses, assessments, claims or liabilities in connection with
the performance of this Contract, except such as may arise from
its or its nominee's own negligent action, negligent failure to
act or willful misconduct, any property at any time held for the
account of the Fund shall be security therefor and should the
Fund fail to repay the Custodian promptly, the Custodian shall be
entitled to utilize available cash and to dispose of the Fund's
assets to the extent necessary to obtain reimbursement, provided
that the Custodian gives the Fund reasonable notice to repay such
cash or securities advanced, however, such notice shall not
preclude the Custodian's right to assert any lien under this
provision.
13. Effective Period, Termination and Amendment
This Contract shall become effective as of its execution,
shall continue in full force and effect until terminated as
hereinafter provided, may be amended at any time by mutual
agreement of the parties hereto and may be terminated by either
party by an instrument in writing delivered or mailed, postage
prepaid to the other party, such termination to take effect not
sooner than sixty (60) days after the date of such delivery or
mailing in the case of a termination by the Fund, and not sooner
than 180 days after the date of such delivery or mailing in the
case of a termination by the Custodian; provided, however that
the Custodian shall not act under Section 2.10 hereof in the
absence of receipt of an initial certificate of the Secretary or
an Assistant Secretary that the Board of Directors/Trustees of
the Fund has approved the initial use of a particular Securities
System and the receipt of an annual certificate of the Secretary
or an Assistant Secretary that the Board of Directors/Trustees
has reviewed the use by the Fund of such Securities System, as
required in each case by Rule 17f-4 under the Investment Company
Act of 1940, as amended and that the Custodian shall not act
under Section 2.11 hereof in the absence of receipt of an initial
certificate of the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary that the
Board of Directors/Trustees has approved the initial use of the
Direct Paper System and the receipt of an annual certificate of
PAGE 23
the Secretary or an Assistant Secretary that the Board of
Directors/Trustees has reviewed the use by the Fund of the Direct
Paper System; provided further, however, that the Fund shall not
amend or terminate this Contract in contravention of any
applicable federal or state regulations, or any provision of the
Governing Documents of the Fund, and further provided, that the
Fund may at any time by action of its Board of Directors/Trustees
(i) substitute another bank or trust company for the Custodian by
giving notice as described above to the Custodian, or (ii)
immediately terminate this Contract in the event of the
appointment of a conservator or receiver for the Custodian by the
Comptroller of the Currency or upon the happening of a like event
at the direction of an appropriate regulatory agency or court of
competent jurisdiction.
Upon termination of the Contract, the Fund shall pay to the
Custodian such compensation as may be due as of the date of such
termination and shall likewise reimburse the Custodian for its
costs, expenses and disbursements, provided that the Custodian
shall not incur any costs, expenses or disbursements specifically
in connection with such termination unless it has received prior
approval from the Fund, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
14. Successor Custodian
If a successor custodian shall be appointed by the Board of
Directors/Trustees of the Fund, the Custodian shall, upon
termination, deliver to such successor custodian at the office of
the Custodian, duly endorsed and in the form for transfer, all
securities, funds and other properties then held by it hereunder
and shall transfer to an account of the successor custodian all
of the Fund's securities held in a Securities System. The
Custodian shall also use its best efforts to assure that the
successor custodian will continue any subcustodian agreement
entered into by the Custodian and any subcustodian on behalf of
the Fund.
If no such successor custodian shall be appointed, the
Custodian shall, in like manner, upon receipt of a certified copy
of a vote of the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund, deliver
at the office of the Custodian and transfer such securities,
funds and other properties in accordance with such vote.
In the event that no written order designating a successor
custodian or certified copy of a vote of the Board of
Directors/Trustees shall have been delivered to the Custodian on
or before the date when such termination shall become effective,
then the Custodian shall have the right to deliver to a bank
or trust company, which is a "bank" as defined in the Investment
Company Act of 1940, doing business in Boston, Massachusetts, of
its own selection, having an aggregate capital, surplus, and
undivided profits, as shown by its last published report, of not
PAGE 24
less than $25,000,000, all securities, funds and other properties
held by the Custodian and all instruments held by the Custodian
relative thereto and all other property held by it under this
Contract and to transfer to an account of such successor
custodian all of the Fund's securities held in any Securities
System. Thereafter, such bank or trust company shall be the
successor of the Custodian under this Contract.
In the event that securities, funds and other properties
remain in the possession of the Custodian after the date of
termination hereof owing to failure of the Fund to procure the
certified copy of the vote referred to or of the Board of
Directors/Trustees to appoint a successor custodian, the
Custodian shall be entitled to fair compensation for its services
during such period as the Custodian retains possession of such
securities, funds and other properties and the provisions of this
Contract relating to the duties and obligations of the Custodian
shall remain in full force and effect. If while this Contract is
in force the Fund shall be liquidated pursuant to law, the
Custodian shall distribute, either in cash or (if the Fund so
orders) in the portfolio securities and other assets of the Fund,
pro rata among the holders of shares of the Fund as certified by
the Transfer Agent, the property of the Fund which remains after
paying or satisfying all expenses and liabilities of the Fund.
Section 12 hereof shall survive any termination of this Contract.
15. Interpretive and Additional Provisions
In connection with the operation of this Contract, the
Custodian and the Fund may from time to time agree on such
provisions interpretive of or in addition to the provisions of
this Contract as may in their joint opinion be consistent with
the general tenor of this Contract. Any such interpretive or
additional provisions shall be in a writing signed by both
parties and shall be annexed hereto, provided that no such
interpretive or additional provisions shall contravene any
applicable federal or state regulations or any provision of the
Governing Documents of the Fund. No interpretive or additional
provisions made as provided in the preceding sentence shall be
deemed to be an amendment of this Contract.
16. Notice
Any notice shall be sufficiently given when sent by
registered or certified mail, or by such other means as the
parties shall agree, to the other party at the address of such
party set forth above or at such other address as such party may
from time to time specify in writing to the other party.
17. Bond
The Custodian shall, at all times, maintain a bond in such
form and amount as is acceptable to the Fund which shall be
issued by a reputable fidelity insurance company authorized to do
business in the place where such bond is issued against larceny
PAGE 25
and embezzlement, covering each officer and employee of the
Custodian who may, singly or jointly with others, have access to
securities or funds of the Fund, either directly or through
authority to receive and carry out any certificate instruction,
order request, note or other instrument required or permitted by
this Agreement. The Custodian agrees that it shall not cancel,
terminate or modify such bond insofar as it adversely affects the
Fund except after written notice given to the Fund not less than
10 days prior to the effective date of such cancellation,
termination or modification. The Custodian shall furnish to the
Fund a copy of each such bond and each amendment thereto.
18. Confidentiality
The Custodian agrees to treat all records and other
information relative to the Fund and its prior, present or future
shareholders as confidential, and the Custodian, on behalf of
itself and its employees, agrees to keep confidential all such
information except, after prior notification to and approval in
writing by the Fund, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld and may not be withheld where the Custodian may be
exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to
comply, when requested to divulge such information by duly
constituted authorities, or when so requested by the Fund.
19. Exemption from Liens
The securities and other assets held by the Custodian for
the Fund shall be subject to no lien or charge of any kind in
favor of the Custodian or any person claiming through the
Custodian, but nothing herein shall be deemed to deprive the
Custodian of its right to invoke any and all remedies available
at law or equity to collect amounts due it under this Agreement.
Neither the Custodian nor any sub-custodian appointed pursuant to
Section 1 hereof shall have any power or authority to assign,
hypothecate, pledge or otherwise dispose of any securities held
by it for the Fund, except upon the direction of the Fund, duly
given as herein provided, and only for the account of the Fund.
20. Massachusetts Law to Apply
This Contract shall be construed and the provisions thereof
interpreted under and in accordance with laws of The Commonwealth
of Massachusetts.

Without derogating any of the rights established by such
contracts, this Contract supersedes and terminates, as of the
date hereof, all prior contracts between the Fund and the
Custodian relating to the custody of the Fund's assets.

connection therewith and notices of exercise of call and put

The Global Custody Agreement dated January 3, 1994, between The
Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. and T. Rowe Price Funds should be
inserted here.
PAGE 1
GLOBAL CUSTODY AGREEMENT
This AGREEMENT is effective January 3, 1994, and is between
THE CHASE MANHATTAN BANK, N.A. (the "Bank") and EACH OF THE
ENTITIES LISTED ON SCHEDULE A HERETO, Individually and Separately
(each individually, the "Customer").
1. Customer Accounts.
The Bank agrees to establish and maintain the following
accounts ("Accounts"):
(a) A custody account in the name of the Customer
("Custody Account") for any and all stocks, shares, bonds,
debentures, notes, mortgages or other obligations for the payment
of money, bullion, coin and any certificates, receipts, warrants
or other instruments representing rights to receive, purchase or
subscribe for the same or evidencing or representing any other
rights or interests therein and other similar property whether
certificated or uncertificated as may be received by the Bank or
its Subcustodian (as defined in Section 3) for the account of the
Customer ("Securities"); and
(b) A deposit account in the name of the Customer ("Deposit
Account") for any and all cash in any currency received by the
Bank or its Subcustodian for the account of the Customer, which
cash shall not be subject to withdrawal by draft or check.
The Customer warrants its authority to: 1) deposit the cash
and Securities ("Assets") received in the Accounts and 2) give
Instructions (as defined in Section 11) concerning the Accounts.
The Bank may deliver securities of the same class in place of
those deposited in the Custody Account.
Upon written agreement between the Bank and the Customer,
additional Accounts may be established and separately accounted
for as additional Accounts under the terms of this Agreement.
2. Maintenance of Securities and Cash at Bank and Subcustodian
Locations.
Unless Instructions specifically require another location
acceptable to the Bank:
(a) Securities will be held in the country or other
jurisdiction in which the principal trading market for such
Securities is located, where such Securities are to be presented
for payment or where such Securities are acquired; and
PAGE 2
(b) Cash will be credited to an account in a country or
other jurisdiction in which such cash may be legally deposited or
is the legal currency for the payment of public or private debts.
Cash may be held pursuant to Instructions in either interest
or non-interest bearing accounts as may be available for the
particular currency. To the extent Instructions are issued and
the Bank can comply with such Instructions, the Bank is
authorized to maintain cash balances on deposit for the Customer
with itself or one of its affiliates at such reasonable rates of
interest as may from time to time be paid on such accounts, or in
non-interest bearing accounts as the Customer may direct, if
acceptable to the Bank.
If the Customer wishes to have any of its Assets held in the
custody of an institution other than the established
Subcustodians as defined in Section 3 (or their securities
depositories), such arrangement must be authorized by a written
agreement, signed by the Bank and the Customer.
3. Subcustodians and Securities Depositories.
The Bank may act under this Agreement through the
subcustodians listed in Schedule B of this Agreement with which
the Bank has entered into subcustodial agreements
("Subcustodians"). The Customer authorizes the Bank to hold
Assets in the Accounts in accounts which the Bank has established
with one or more of its branches or Subcustodians. The Bank and
Subcustodians are authorized to hold any of the Securities in
their account with any securities depository in which they
participate.
The Bank reserves the right to add new, replace or remove
Subcustodians. The Customer will be given reasonable notice by
the Bank of any amendment to Schedule B. Upon request by the
Customer, the Bank will identify the name, address and principal
place of business of any Subcustodian of the Customer's Assets
and the name and address of the governmental agency or other
regulatory authority that supervises or regulates such
Subcustodian.
4. Use of Subcustodian.
(a) The Bank will identify such Assets on its books as
belonging to the Customer.
(b) A Subcustodian will hold such Assets together with
assets belonging to other customers of the Bank in accounts
identified on such Subcustodian's books as special custody
accounts for the exclusive benefit of customers of the Bank.
(c) Any Assets in the Accounts held by a Subcustodian will
be subject only to the instructions of the Bank or its agent.
PAGE 3
Any Securities held in a securities depository for the account of
a Subcustodian will be subject only to the instructions of such
Subcustodian.
(d) Any agreement the Bank enters into with a Subcustodian
for holding its customer's assets shall provide that such assets
will not be subject to any right, charge, security interest, lien
or claim of any kind in favor of such Subcustodian or its
creditors except for a claim for payment for safe custody or
administration, and that the beneficial ownership of such assets
will be freely transferable without the payment of money or value
other than for safe custody or administration. The foregoing
shall not apply to the extent of any special agreement or
arrangement made by the Customer with any particular
Subcustodian.
5. Deposit Account Transactions.
(a) The Bank or its Subcustodians will make payments from
the Deposit Account upon receipt of Instructions which include
all information required by the Bank.
(b) In the event that any payment to be made under this
Section 5 exceeds the funds available in the Deposit Account, the
Bank, in its discretion, may advance the Customer such excess
amount which shall be deemed a loan payable on demand, bearing
interest at the rate customarily charged by the Bank on similar
loans.
(c) If the Bank credits the Deposit Account on a payable
date, or at any time prior to actual collection and
reconciliation to the Deposit Account, with interest, dividends,
redemptions or any other amount due, the Customer will promptly
return any such amount upon oral or written notification: (i)
that such amount has not been received in the ordinary course of
business or (ii) that such amount was incorrectly credited. If
the Customer does not promptly return any amount upon such
notification, the Bank shall be entitled, upon oral or written
notification to the Customer, to reverse such credit by debiting
the Deposit Account for the amount previously credited. The Bank
or its Subcustodian shall have no duty or obligation to institute
legal proceedings, file a claim or a proof of claim in any
insolvency proceeding or take any other action with respect to
the collection of such amount, but may act for the Customer upon
Instructions after consultation with the Customer.
6. Custody Account Transactions.
(a) Securities will be transferred, exchanged or delivered
by the Bank or its Subcustodian upon receipt by the Bank of
Instructions which include all information required by the Bank.
Settlement and payment for Securities received for, and delivery
of Securities out of, the Custody Account may be made in
PAGE 4
accordance with the customary or established securities trading
or securities processing practices and procedures in the
jurisdiction or market in which the transaction occurs,
including, without limitation, delivery of Securities to a
purchaser, dealer or their agents against a receipt with the
expectation of receiving later payment and free delivery.
Delivery of Securities out of the Custody Account may also be
made in any manner specifically required by Instructions
acceptable to the Bank.
(b) The Bank, in its discretion, may credit or debit the
Accounts on a contractual settlement date with cash or Securities
with respect to any sale, exchange or purchase of Securities.
Otherwise, such transactions will be credited or debited to the
Accounts on the date cash or Securities are actually received by
the Bank and reconciled to the Account.
(i) The Bank may reverse credits or debits made to the
Accounts in its discretion if the related transaction
fails to settle within a reasonable period, determined
by the Bank in its discretion, after the contractual
settlement date for the related transaction.
(ii) If any Securities delivered pursuant to this
Section 6 are returned by the recipient thereof, the
Bank may reverse the credits and debits of the
particular transaction at any time.
7. Actions of the Bank.
The Bank shall follow Instructions received regarding assets
held in the Accounts. However, until it receives Instructions to
the contrary, the Bank will:
(a) Present for payment any Securities which are called,
redeemed or retired or otherwise become payable and all coupons
and other income items which call for payment upon presentation,
to the extent that the Bank or Subcustodian is actually aware of
such opportunities.
(b) Execute in the name of the Customer such ownership and
other certificates as may be required to obtain payments in
respect of Securities.
(c) Exchange interim receipts or temporary Securities for
definitive Securities.
(d) Appoint brokers and agents for any transaction
involving the Securities, including, without limitation,
affiliates of the Bank or any Subcustodian.
(e) Issue statements to the Customer, at times mutually
agreed upon, identifying the Assets in the Accounts.
PAGE 5
The Bank will send the Customer an advice or notification of
any transfers of Assets to or from the Accounts. Such
statements, advices or notifications shall indicate the identity
of the entity having custody of the Assets. Unless the Customer
sends the Bank a written exception or objection to any Bank
statement within ninety (90) days of receipt, the Customer shall
be deemed to have approved such statement. The Bank shall, to
the extent permitted by law, be released, relieved and discharged
with respect to all matters set forth in such statement or
reasonably implied therefrom as though it had been settled by the
decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in an action where
the Customer and all persons having or claiming an interest in
the Customer or the Customer's Accounts were parties if: (a) the
Customer has failed to provide a written exception or objection
to any Bank statement within ninety (90) days of receipt and
where the Customer's failure to so provide a written exception or
objection within such ninety (90) day period has limited the
Bank's (i) access to the records, materials and other information
required to investigate the Customer's exception or objection,
and (ii) ability to recover from third parties any amounts for
which the Bank may become liable in connection with such
exception or objection, or (b) where the Customer has otherwise
explicitly approved any such statement.
All collections of funds or other property paid or
distributed in respect of Securities in the Custody Account shall
be made at the risk of the Customer. The Bank shall have no
liability for any loss occasioned by delay in the actual receipt
of notice by the Bank or by its Subcustodians of any payment,
redemption or other transaction regarding Securities in the
Custody Account in respect of which the Bank has agreed to take
any action under this Agreement.
8. Corporate Actions; Proxies.
Whenever the Bank receives information concerning the
Securities which requires discretionary action by the beneficial
owner of the Securities (other than a proxy), such as
subscription rights, bonus issues, stock repurchase plans and
rights offerings, or legal notices or other material intended to
be transmitted to securities holders ("Corporate Actions"), the
Bank will give the Customer notice of such Corporate Actions to
the extent that the Bank's central corporate actions department
has actual knowledge of a Corporate Action in time to notify its
customers.
When a rights entitlement or a fractional interest resulting
from a rights issue, stock dividend, stock split or similar
Corporate Action is received which bears an expiration date, the
Bank will endeavor to obtain Instructions from the Customer or
its Authorized Person, but if Instructions are not received in
time for the Bank to take timely action, or actual notice of such
Corporate Action was received too late to seek Instructions, the
PAGE 6
Bank is authorized to sell such rights entitlement or fractional
interest and to credit the Deposit Account with the proceeds or
take any other action it deems, in good faith, to be appropriate
in which case it shall be held harmless for any such action.
The Bank will deliver proxies to the Customer or its
designated agent pursuant to special arrangements which may have
been agreed to in writing. Such proxies shall be executed in the
appropriate nominee name relating to Securities in the Custody
Account registered in the name of such nominee but without
indicating the manner in which such proxies are to be voted; and
where bearer Securities are involved, proxies will be delivered
in accordance with Instructions.
9. Nominees.
Securities which are ordinarily held in registered form may
be registered in a nominee name of the Bank, Subcustodian or
securities depository, as the case may be. The Bank may without
notice to the Customer cause any such Securities to cease to be
registered in the name of any such nominee and to be registered
in the name of the Customer. In the event that any Securities
registered in a nominee name are called for partial redemption by
the issuer, the Bank may allot the called portion to the
respective beneficial holders of such class of security pro rata
or in any other manner that is fair, equitable and practicable.
The Customer agrees to hold the Bank, Subcustodians, and their
respective nominees harmless from any liability arising directly
or indirectly from their status as a mere record holder of
Securities in the Custody Account.
10. Authorized Persons.
As used in this Agreement, the term "Authorized Person"
means employees or agents including investment managers as have
been designated by written notice from the Customer or its
designated agent to act on behalf of the Customer under this
Agreement. Such persons shall continue to be Authorized Persons
until such time as the Bank receives Instructions from the
Customer or its designated agent that any such employee or agent
is no longer an Authorized Person.
11. Instructions.
The term "Instructions" means instructions of any Authorized
Person received by the Bank, via telephone, telex, TWX, facsimile
transmission, bank wire or other teleprocess or electronic
instruction or trade information system acceptable to the Bank
which the Bank believes in good faith to have been given by
Authorized Persons or which are transmitted with proper testing
or authentication pursuant to terms and conditions which the Bank
may specify. Unless otherwise expressly provided, all
PAGE 7
Instructions shall continue in full force and effect until
canceled or superseded.
Any Instructions delivered to the Bank by telephone shall
promptly thereafter be confirmed in writing by an Authorized
Person (which confirmation may bear the facsimile signature of
such Person), but the Customer will hold the Bank harmless for
the failure of an Authorized Person to send such confirmation in
writing, the failure of such confirmation to conform to the
telephone instructions received or the Bank's failure to produce
such confirmation at any subsequent time. The Bank may
electronically record any Instructions given by telephone, and
any other telephone discussions with respect to the Custody
Account. The Customer shall be responsible for safeguarding any
testkeys, identification codes or other security devices which
the Bank shall make available to the Customer or its Authorized
Persons.
12. Standard of Care; Liabilities.
(a) The Bank shall be responsible for the performance of
only such duties as are set forth in this Agreement or expressly
contained in Instructions which are consistent with the
provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement:
(i) The Bank will use reasonable care with respect to
its obligations under this Agreement and the
safekeeping of Assets. The Bank shall be liable to the
Customer for any loss which shall occur as the result
of the failure of a Subcustodian to exercise reasonable
care with respect to the safekeeping of such Assets to
the same extent that the Bank would be liable to the
Customer if the Bank were holding such Assets in New
York. In the event of any loss to the Customer by
reason of the failure of the Bank or its Subcustodian
to utilize reasonable care, the Bank shall be liable to
the Customer only to the extent of the Customer's
direct damages, and shall in no event be liable for any
special or consequential damages.
(ii) The Bank will not be responsible for any act,
omission, default or for the solvency of any broker or
agent which it or a Subcustodian appoints unless such
appointment was made negligently or in bad faith or for
any loss due to the negligent act of such broker or
agent except to the extent that such broker or agent
(other than a Subcustodian) performs in a negligent
manner which is the cause of the loss to the Customer
and the Bank failed to exercise reasonable care in
monitoring such broker's or agent's performance where
Customer has requested and Bank has agreed to accept
such monitoring responsibility.
PAGE 8
(iii) The Bank shall be indemnified by, and
without liability to the Customer for any action taken
or omitted by the Bank whether pursuant to Instructions
or otherwise within the scope of this Agreement if such
act or omission was in good faith, without negligence.
In performing its obligations under this Agreement, the
Bank may rely on the genuineness of any document which
it believes in good faith to have been validly
executed.
(iv) The Customer agrees to pay for and hold the Bank
harmless from any liability or loss resulting from the
imposition or assessment of any taxes or other
governmental charges, and any related expenses with
respect to income from or Assets in the Accounts,
except to the extent that the Bank has failed to
exercise reasonable care in performing any obligations
which the Bank may have agreed to assume (in addition
to those stated in this Agreement) with respect to
taxes and such failure by the Bank is the direct cause
of such imposition or assessment of such taxes, charges
or expenses.
(v) The Bank shall be entitled to rely, and may act,
upon the advice of counsel (who may be counsel for the
Customer) on all legal matters and shall be without
liability for any action reasonably taken or omitted
pursuant to such advice; provided, that the Bank gives
(to the extent practicable) prior notice to Customer of
Bank's intention to so seek advice of counsel and an
opportunity for consultation with Customer on the
proposed contact with counsel.
(vi) The Bank represents and warrants that it currently
maintain a banker's blanket bond which provides
standard fidelity and non-negligent loss coverage with
respect to the Securities and Cash which may be held by
Subcustodians pursuant to this Agreement. The Bank
agrees that if at any time it for any reason
discontinues such coverage, it shall immediately give
sixty (60) days' prior written notice to the Customer.
The Bank need not maintain any insurance for the
benefit of the Customer.
(vii) Without limiting the foregoing, the Bank
shall not be liable for any loss which results from:
(1) the general risk of investing, or (2) investing or
holding Assets in a particular country including, but
not limited to, losses resulting from nationalization,
expropriation or other governmental actions; regulation
of the banking or securities industry; currency
restrictions, devaluations or fluctuations; and market
PAGE 9
conditions which prevent the orderly execution of securities
transactions or affect the value of Assets.
(viii) Neither party shall be liable to the other
for any loss due to forces beyond their control
including, but not limited to strikes or work
stoppages, acts of war or terrorism, insurrection,
revolution, nuclear fusion, fission or radiation, or
acts of God.
(b) Consistent with and without limiting the first
paragraph of this Section 12, it is specifically acknowledged
that the Bank shall have no duty or responsibility to:
(i) question Instructions or make any suggestions to
the Customer or an Authorized Person regarding such
Instructions;
(ii) supervise or make recommendations with respect to
investments or the retention of Securities;
(iii) advise the Customer or an Authorized Person
regarding any default in the payment of principal or
income of any security other than as provided in
Section 5(c) of this Agreement;
(iv) evaluate or report to the Customer or an
Authorized Person regarding the financial condition of
any broker, agent (other than a Subcustodian) or other
party to which Securities are delivered or payments are
made pursuant to this Agreement;
(v) review or reconcile trade confirmations received
from brokers. The Customer or its Authorized Persons
(as defined in Section 10) issuing Instructions shall
bear any responsibility to review such confirmations
against Instructions issued to and statements issued by
the Bank.
(c) The Customer authorizes the Bank to act under this
Agreement notwithstanding that the Bank or any of its divisions
or affiliates may have a material interest in a transaction, or
circumstances are such that the Bank may have a potential
conflict of duty or interest including the fact that the Bank or
any of its affiliates may provide brokerage services to other
customers, act as financial advisor to the issuer of Securities,
act as a lender to the issuer of Securities, act in the same
transaction as agent for more than one customer, have a material
interest in the issue of Securities, or earn profits from any of
the activities listed herein.
13. Fees and Expenses.
PAGE 10
The Customer agrees to pay the Bank for its services under
this Agreement such amount as may be agreed upon in writing,
together with the Bank's reasonable out-of-pocket or incidental
expenses, including, but not limited to, reasonable legal fees.
The Bank shall have a lien on and is authorized to charge any
Accounts of the Customer for any amount owing to the Bank under
any provision of this Agreement upon notice to the Customer.
14. Miscellaneous.
(a) Foreign Exchange Transactions. Pursuant to
Instructions, which may be standing Instructions, to facilitate
the administration of the Customer's trading and investment
activity, the Bank is authorized to enter into spot or forward
foreign exchange contracts with the Customer or an Authorized
Person for the Customer and may also provide foreign exchange
through its subsidiaries or Subcustodians. The Bank may
establish rules or limitations concerning any foreign exchange
facility made available. In all cases where the Bank, its
subsidiaries, affiliates or Subcustodians enter into a foreign
exchange contract related to Accounts, the terms and conditions
of the then current foreign exchange contract of the Bank, its
subsidiary, affiliate or Subcustodian and, to the extent not
inconsistent, this Agreement shall apply to such transaction.
(b) Certification of Residency, etc. The Customer
certifies that it is a resident of the United States and agrees
to notify the Bank of any changes in residency. The Bank may
rely upon this certification or the certification of such other
facts as may be required to administer the Bank's obligations
under this Agreement. The Customer will indemnify the Bank
against all losses, liability, claims or demands arising directly
or indirectly from any such certifications.
(c) Access to Records. The Bank shall allow the Customer's
independent public accountants, officers and advisers reasonable
access to the records of the Bank relating to the Assets as is
required in connection with their examination of books and
records pertaining to the Customer's affairs. Subject to
restrictions under applicable law, the Bank shall also obtain an
undertaking to permit the Customer's independent public
accountants reasonable access to the records of any Subcustodian
which has physical possession of any Assets as may be required in
connection with the examination of the Customer's books and
records.
(d) Governing Law; Successors and Assigns. This Agreement
shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York and shall
not be assignable by either party, but shall bind the successors
in interest of the Customer and the Bank.

Each of the Entities Listed on Schedule A Hereto
effective January 3, 1994
Customer represents that the Assets being placed in the
Bank's custody are subject to ERISA. It is understood that in
connection therewith the Bank is a service provider and not a
fiduciary of the plan and trust to which the assets are related.
The Bank shall not be considered a party to the underlying plan
and trust and the Customer hereby assumes all responsibility to
assure that Instructions issued under this Agreement are in
compliance with such plan and trust and ERISA.
This Agreement will be interpreted as being in compliance

described in paragraph (a)(2)(ii)(A)(1) of the
Department of Labor Regulations Section 2550.404b-1;
(b) "eligible foreign custodian" shall mean a banking
institution incorporated or organized under the laws
of a country other than the United States which is
supervised or regulated by that country's government
or an agency thereof or other regulatory authority in
the foreign jurisdiction having authority over banks;
and
(c) "eligible foreign securities depository" shall mean a
securities depository or clearing agency,
incorporated or organized under the laws of a country
other than the United States, which is supervised or
regulated by that country's government or an agency
thereof or other regulatory authority in the foreign
jurisdiction having authority over such depositories
or clearing agencies and which is described in
paragraph (c)(2) of the Department of Labor
Regulations Section 2550.404b-1.

last sentence.
Section 5. Deposit Account Payments.
Subsection (b) is amended to read as follows:
(b) In the event that any payment made under this Section
5 exceeds the funds available in the Deposit Account, such

AGREEMENT made as of the first day of January, 1994, by and
between T. ROWE PRICE SERVICES, INC., a Maryland corporation
having its principal office and place of business at 100 East
Pratt Street, Baltimore, Maryland 21202 ("Price Services"), and
EACH FUND WHICH IS LISTED ON APPENDIX A (as such Appendix may be
amended from time to time) and which evidences its agreement to
be bound hereby by executing a copy of this Agreement (each such
Fund individually hereinafter referred to as "the Fund", whose
definition may be found in Article U);
WHEREAS, the Fund desires to appoint Price Services as its
transfer agent, dividend disbursing agent and agent in connection
with certain other activities, and Price Services desires to
accept such appointment;
WHEREAS, Price Services represents that it is registered
with the Securities and Exchange Commission as a Transfer Agent
under Section 17A of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("'34
Act") and will notify each Fund promptly if such registration is
revoked or if any proceeding is commenced before the Securities
and Exchange Commission which may lead to such revocation;
WHEREAS, certain of the Funds are named investment options
under various tax-sheltered retirement plans including, but not
limited to, individual retirement accounts, simplified employee
pension plans, deferred compensation plans, 403(b) plans, and
profit sharing, thrift, and money purchase pension plans for
self-employed individuals and professional partnerships and
corporations, (collectively referred to as "Retirement Plans");
PAGE 5
WHEREAS, Price Services has the capability of providing
special services, on behalf of the Funds, for the accounts of

WHEREAS, Price Services may subcontract or jointly contract
with other parties, on behalf of the Funds, including, but not
limited to, DST, SRI, Moore Business Forms, Boston Financial Data

to Retirement Plans and Retirement Accounts. Price Services may

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
herein contained, the parties hereto agree as follows:
A. Terms of Appointment
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement, the Fund hereby employs and appoints Price Services to

("Shareholders"), including, without limitation, any periodic
investment plan or periodic withdrawal program; and (3) certain

parties.
The parties to the Agreement hereby acknowledge that from
time to time, Price Services and T. Rowe Price Trust Company may
enter into contracts ("Other Contracts") with employee benefit
plans and/or their sponsors for the provision of certain plan
participant services to Retirement Plans and Retirement Accounts.
Compensation paid to Price Services pursuant to this Agreement
is with respect to the services described herein and not with
respect to services provided under Other Contracts.
B. Duties of Price Services
Price Services agrees that it will perform the following
services:
1. Receipt of Orders/Payments
Receive for acceptance, orders/payments for the
purchase of Shares and promptly deliver payment and
appropriate documentation thereof to the authorized
custodian of the Fund (the "Custodian"). Upon receipt of
any check or other instrument drawn or endorsed to it as
agent for, or identified as being for the account of, the
Fund, Price Services will process the order as follows:
o Examine the check to determine if the check conforms to
the Funds' acceptance procedures (including certain
third-party check procedures). If the check conforms,
PAGE 7
Price Services will endorse the check and include the
date of receipt, will process the same for payment, and
deposit the net amount to the parties agreed upon
designated bank account prior to such deposit in the
Custodial account, and will notify the Fund and the
Custodian, respectively, of such deposits (such
notification to be given on a daily basis of the total
amount deposited to said accounts during the prior
business day);
o Open a new account, if necessary, and credit the
account of the investor with the number of Shares to be
purchased according to the price of the Fund's Shares
in effect for purchases made on that date, subject to
any instructions which the Fund may have given to Price
Services with respect to acceptance of orders for
Shares relating to payments so received by it;
o Maintain a record of all unpaid purchases and report
such information to the Fund daily;
o Process periodic payment orders, as authorized by
investors, in accordance with the payment procedures
for pre-authorized checking ("PAC") and ACH purchases
mutually agreed upon by both parties;
o Receive monies from Retirement Plans and determine the
proper allocation of such monies to the Retirement
Accounts based upon instructions received from
Retirement Plan participants or Retirement Plan
administrators ("Administrators"); and
PAGE 8
o Process telephone orders for purchases of Fund shares
from the Shareholder's bank account (via wire or ACH)
to the Fund in accordance with procedures mutually
agreed upon by both parties.
Upon receipt of funds through the Federal Reserve Wire
System that are designated for purchases in Funds which
declare dividends at 12:00 p.m. (or such time as set forth
in the Fund's current prospectus), Price Services shall
promptly notify the Fund and the Custodian of such deposit.
2. Redemptions
Receive for acceptance redemption requests, including
telephone redemptions and requests received from
Administrators for distributions to participants or their
designated beneficiaries or for payment of fees due the
Administrator or such other person, including Price
Services, and deliver the appropriate documentation thereof
to the Custodian. Price Services shall receive and stamp
with the date of receipt, all requests for redemptions of
Shares (including all certificates delivered to it for
redemption) and shall process said redemption requests as
follows, subject to the provisions of Section 7 hereof:
o Examine the redemption request and, for written
redemptions, the supporting documentation, to determine
that the request is in good order and all requirements
have been met;
o Notify the Fund on the next business day of the total
number of Shares presented and covered by all such
requests;
PAGE 9
o As set forth in the prospectus of the Fund, and in any
event, on or prior to the seventh (7th) calendar day
succeeding any such request for redemption, Price
Services shall, from funds available in the accounts
maintained by Price Services as agent for the Funds,
pay the applicable redemption price in accordance with
the current prospectus of the Fund, to the investor,
participant, beneficiary, Administrator or such other
person, as the case may be;
o If any request for redemption does not comply with the
Fund's requirements, Price Services shall promptly
notify the investor of such fact, together with the
reason therefore, and shall effect such redemption at
the price in effect at the time of receipt of all
appropriate documents;
o Make such withholdings as may be required under
applicable Federal and State tax law;
o In the event redemption proceeds for the payment of
fees are to be wired through the Federal Reserve Wire
System or by bank wire, Price Services shall cause such
proceeds to be wired in Federal funds to the bank
account designated; and
o Process periodic redemption orders as authorized by the
investor in accordance with the periodic withdrawal
procedures for Systematic Withdrawal Plan ("SWP") and
systematic ACH redemptions mutually agreed upon by both
parties.
PAGE 10
Procedures and requirements for effecting and accepting
redemption orders from investors by telephone, Tele*Access,
Mailgram, or written instructions shall be established by
mutual agreement between Price Services and the Fund
consistent with the Fund's current prospectus.
3. Transfers
Effect transfers of Shares by the registered owners
thereof upon receipt of appropriate instructions and
documentation and examine such instructions for conformance
with appropriate procedures and requirements. In this
regard, Price Services, upon receipt of a proper request for
transfer, including any transfer involving the surrender of
certificates of Shares, is authorized to transfer, on the
records of the Fund, Shares of the Fund, including
cancellation of surrendered certificates, if any, to credit
a like amount of Shares to the transferee and to
countersign, issue and deliver new certificates, if
requested, for those Funds issuing certificates.
4. Confirmations
Mail all confirmations and other enclosures requested
by the Fund to the shareholder, and in the case of
Retirement Accounts, to the Administrators, as may be
required by the Funds or by applicable Federal or state law.
5. Issuance of Share Certificates
o Those Funds which issue stock certificates shall supply
Price Services with a sufficient supply of blank stock
certificates and shall renew such supply upon request
of Price Services. Such blank stock certificates shall
PAGE 11
be properly signed, manually or facsimile, if
authorized by the Fund, and shall bear the seal or
facsimile thereof of the Fund; and notwithstanding the
death, resignation or removal of any officers of the
Fund authorized to sign certificates of stock, on
behalf of the Fund, Price Services may continue to
countersign certificates which bear the manual or
facsimile signature of such officer until otherwise
directed by the Fund.
o If an investor requests a share certificate of a Fund
which issues stock certificates (except shares in
Retirement Plans and Retirement Accounts which will be
non certificated), Price Services will countersign and
mail by first class mail, a share certificate to the
investor at his address as set forth on the transfer
books of the Fund, subject to any other instructions
for delivery of certificates which the Fund may give to
Price Services with respect to certificates
representing newly purchased Shares.
6. Returned Checks and ACH Debits
In order to minimize the risk of loss to the Fund by
reason of any check being returned unpaid, Price Services
will promptly identify and follow-up on any check or ACH
debit returned unpaid. For items returned, Price Services
may telephone the investor and/or redeposit the check or
debit for collection or cancel the purchase, as deemed
appropriate.
PAGE 12
7. Redemption of Shares under Ten Day Hold
o Uncollected Funds
Shares purchased by personal, corporate, or
governmental check, or by ACH will be considered
uncollected until the tenth calendar date following the
trade date of the trade ("Uncollected Funds");
o Good Funds
Share purchased by treasurer's, cashier, certified, or
official check, or by wire transfer will be considered
collected immediately ("Good Funds"). Absent
information to the contrary (i.e., notification from
the payee institution), Uncollected Funds will be
considered Good Funds on the tenth calendar day
following trade date.
o Redemption of Uncollected Funds
o Shareholders making telephone requests for
redemption of shares purchased with Uncollected
Funds will be given two options:
1. The Shareholder will be permitted to exchange
to a money market fund to preserve principal until
the funds are deemed Good Funds,
2. The redemption can be processed utilizing the
same procedures for written redemptions described
below.
o If a written redemption request is made for shares
where any portion of the payment for said shares
is in Uncollected Funds, and the request is in
good order, Price Services will promptly obtain
PAGE 13
the information relative to the payment necessary
to determine when the payment becomes Good Funds.
The redemption will be processed in accordance
with normal procedures, and the proceeds will be
held until confirmation that the payment is Good
Funds. On the seventh (7th) calendar day after
trade date, and each day thereafter until either
confirmation is received or the tenth (10th)
calendar day, Price Services will call the paying
institution to request confirmation that the check
or ACH in question has been paid. On the tenth
calendar day after trade date, the redemption
proceeds will be released, regardless of whether
confirmation has been received.
o Checkwriting Redemptions.
o Daily, all checkwriting redemptions $10,000 and
over reported as Uncollected Funds or insufficient
funds will be reviewed. An attempt will be made
to contact the shareholder to make good the funds
(through wire, exchange, transfer). Generally by
12:00 p.m. the same day, if the matter has not
been resolved, the redemption request will be
rejected and the check returned to the
Shareholder.
o All checkwriting redemptions under $10,000
reported as Uncollected or insufficient funds will
PAGE 14
be rejected and the check returned to the
Shareholder.
o Confirmations of Available Funds
The Fund expects that situations may develop whereby it
would be beneficial to determine if a person who has
placed an order for Shares has sufficient funds in his
or her checking account to cover the payment for the
Shares purchased. When this situation occurs, Price
Services may call the bank in question and request that
it confirm that sufficient funds to cover the purchase
are currently credited to the account in question.
Price Services will maintain written documentation or a
recording of each telephone call which is made under
the procedures outlined above. None of the above
procedures shall preclude Price Services from inquiring
as to the status of any check received by it in payment
for the Fund's Shares as Price Services may deem
appropriate or necessary to protect both the Fund and
Price Services. If a conflict arises between Section 2
and this Section 7, Section 7 will govern.
8. Dividends, Distributions and Other Corporate Actions
o The Fund will promptly inform Price Services of the
declaration of any dividend, distribution, stock split
or any other distributions of a similar kind on account
of its Capital Stock.
PAGE 15
o Price Services shall act as Dividend Disbursing Agent
for the Fund, and as such, shall prepare and make
income and capital gain payments to investors. As
Dividend Disbursing Agent, Price Services will on or
before the payment date of any such dividend or
distribution, notify the Custodian of the estimated
amount required to pay any portion of said dividend or
distribution which is payable in cash, and the Fund
agrees that on or before the payment date of such
distribution, it shall instruct the Custodian to make
available to Price Services sufficient funds for the
cash amount to be paid out. If an investor is entitled
to receive additional Shares by virtue of any such
distribution or dividend, appropriate credits will be
made to his or her account.
9. Unclaimed Payments and Certificates
In accordance with procedures agreed upon by both
parties, report abandoned property to appropriate state and
governmental authorities of the Fund. Price Services shall,
90 days prior to the annual reporting of abandoned property
to each of the states, make reasonable attempts to locate
Shareholders for which (a) checks or share certificates have
been returned; (b) for which accounts have aged outstanding
checks; or (c) accounts with unissued shares that have been
coded with stop mail and meet the dormancy period guidelines
specified in the individual states. Price Services shall
PAGE 16
make reasonable attempts to contact shareholders for those
accounts which have significant aged outstanding checks.
10. Books and Records
Maintain records showing for each Shareholder's
account, Retirement Plan or Retirement Account, as the case
may be, the following:
o Names, address and tax identification number;
o Number of Shares held;
o Certain historical information regarding the
account of each Shareholder, including dividends
and distributions distributed in cash or invested
in Shares;
o Pertinent information regarding the establishment
and maintenance of Retirement Plans and Retirement
Accounts necessary to properly administer each
account;
o Information with respect to the source of
dividends and distributions allocated among income

Shareholder's account;
o Information with respect to withholdings on
domestic and foreign accounts;
o Any instructions from a Shareholder including, all

Services to perform the calculations contemplated
under this Agreement.
Price Services shall maintain files and furnish
statistical and other information as required under this
Agreement and as may be agreed upon from time to time by
both parties or required by applicable law. However, Price
Services reserves the right to delete, change or add any
information to the files maintained; provided such
deletions, changes or additions do not contravene the terms
of this Agreement or applicable law and do not materially
reduce the level of services described in this Agreement.
Price Services shall also use its best efforts to obtain
additional statistical and other information as each Fund
may reasonably request for additional fees as may be agreed
to by both parties.
Any such records maintained pursuant to Rule 31a-1
under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("the Act") will be
PAGE 18
preserved for the periods and maintained in a manner
prescribed in Rule 31a-2 thereunder. Disposition of such
records after such prescribed periods shall be as mutually
agreed upon by the Fund and Price Services. The retention
of such records, which may be inspected by the Fund at
reasonable times, shall be at the expense of the Fund. All
records maintained by Price Services in connection with the
performance of its duties under this Agreement will remain
the property of the Fund and, in the event of termination of
this Agreement, will be delivered to the Fund as of the date
of termination or at such other time as may be mutually
agreed upon.
All books, records, information and data pertaining to
the business of the other party which are exchanged or
received pursuant to the negotiation or the carrying out of
this Agreement shall remain confidential, and shall not be
voluntarily disclosed to any other person, except after
prior notification to and approval by the other party
hereto, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld
and may not be withheld where Price Services or the Fund may
be exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for
failure to comply; when requested to divulge such
information by duly constituted governmental authorities; or
after so requested by the other party hereto.
11. Authorized Issued and Outstanding Shares
Record the issuance of Shares of the Fund and maintain,
pursuant to Rule 17Ad-10(e) of the '34 Act, a record of the
total number of Shares of the Fund which are authorized,
PAGE 19

the Fund. Price Services shall also provide the Fund on a
regular basis the total number of Shares which are

of any laws relating to the issuance or sale of such Shares.

and supplies used to maintain, microfilm,

documents and records.
o Disaster Recovery. The cost of services,

necessary to provide disaster recovery for
any and all services listed in this
Agreement.
Out-of-pocket costs will be billed at cost to the

generally be made based upon the number of Shareholder and
Retirement Accounts serviced by Price Services each month. Some
invoices for these costs will contain costs for both the Funds
and other funds serviced by Price Services. These costs will be
allocated based on a reasonable allocation methodology. Where
possible, such as in the case of inbound and outbound WATS
charges, allocation will be made on the actual distribution or
usage.

otherwise provided by a specific provision of applicable law.

H. References to Price Services
Each Fund agrees not to circulate any printed matter which
contains any reference to Price Services without the prior
PAGE 31
approval of Price Services, excepting solely such printed matter
that merely identifies Price Services as agent of the Fund. The
Fund will submit printed matter requiring approval to Price
Services in draft form, allowing sufficient time for review by
Price Services and its legal counsel prior to any deadline for
printing.
I. Compliance With Governmental Rules and Regulations
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and except for
the accuracy of information furnished to the Fund by Price
Services, each Fund assumes full responsibility for the
preparation, contents and distribution of its prospectuses and
compliance with all applicable requirements of the Act, the '34
Act, the '33 Act, and any other laws, rules and regulations of

Price Services shall be responsible for complying with all laws,
rules and regulations of governmental authorities having
jurisdiction over transfer agents and their activities.
J. Ownership of Software and Related Material
All computer programs, magnetic tapes, written procedures
and similar items purchased and/or developed and used by Price

K. Quality Service Standards
Price Services and the Fund may from time to time agree to
certain quality service standards, as well as incentives and

PAGE 32
L. As Of Transactions
For purposes of this Article L, the term "Transaction" shall
mean any single or "related transaction" (as defined below)
involving the purchase or redemption of Shares (including
exchanges) that is processed at a time other than the time of the
computation of the Fund's net asset value per Share next computed
after receipt of any such transaction order by Price Services.
If more than one Transaction ("Related Transaction") in the Fund
is caused by or occurs as a result of the same act or omission,
such transactions shall be aggregated with other transactions in
the Fund and be considered as one Transaction.
o Reporting
Price Services shall:
1. Utilize a system to identify all Transactions, and
shall compute the net effect of such Transactions upon
the Fund on a daily, monthly and rolling 365 day basis.
The monthly and rolling 365 day periods are hereafter
referred to as "Cumulative".
2. Supply to the Fund, from time to time as mutually
agreed upon, a report summarizing the Transactions and
the daily and Cumulative net effects of such
Transactions both in terms of aggregate dilution and
loss ("Dilution") or gain and negative dilution
("Gain") experienced by the Fund, and the impact such
Gain or Dilution has had upon the Fund's net asset
value per Share.
PAGE 33
3. With respect to any Transaction which causes
Dilution to the Fund of $25,000 or more, immediately
provide the Fund: (i) a report identifying the
Transaction and the Dilution resulting therefrom, (ii)
the reason such Transaction was processed as described
above, and (iii) the action that Price Services has or
intends to take to prevent the reoccurrence of such as
of processing ("Report").
o Liability
1. It will be the normal practice of the Funds not to
hold Price Services liable with respect to any
Transaction which causes Dilution to any single Fund of
less than $25,000. Price Services will, however,
closely monitor for each Fund the daily and Cumulative
Gain/Dilution which is caused by Transactions of less
than $25,000. When the Cumulative Dilution to any Fund
exceeds 3/10 of 1% per share, Price Services, in
consultation with counsel to the Fund, will make
appropriate inquiry to determine whether it should take
any remedial action. Price Services will report to the
Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund ("Board") any
action it has taken.
2. Where a Transaction causes Dilution to a Fund of
$25,000 or more ("Significant Transaction"), Price
Services will review with counsel to the Fund the
Report and the circumstances surrounding the underlying
PAGE 34
Transaction to determine whether the Transaction was
caused by or occurred as a result of a negligent act or
omission by Price Services. If it is determined that
the Dilution is the result of a negligent action or
omission by Price Services, Price Services and outside
counsel for the Fund will negotiate settlement. All
such Significant Transactions will be reported to the
Board at its next meeting (unless the settlement fully
compensates the Fund for any Dilution). Any
Significant Transaction, however, causing Dilution in
excess of the lesser of $100,000 or a penny per Share
will be promptly reported to the Board. Settlement
will not be entered into with Price Services until
approved by the Board. The factors the Board would be
expected to consider in making any determination
regarding the settlement of a Significant Transaction
would include but not be limited to:
o Procedures and controls adopted by Price Services
to prevent "As Of" processing;
o Whether such procedures and controls were being
followed at the time of the Significant
Transaction;
o The absolute and relative volume of all
transactions processed by Price Services on the
day of the Significant Transaction;
PAGE 35
o The number of Transactions processed by Price
Services during prior relevant periods, and the
net Dilution/Gain as a result of all such
transactions to the Fund and to all other Price
Funds;
o The prior response of Price Services to
recommendations made by the Funds regarding
improvement to the Transfer Agent's "As Of"
Processing Procedures.
M. Term and Termination of Agreement
o This Agreement shall run for a period of one (1) year from
the date first written above and will be renewed from year
to year thereafter unless terminated by either party as
provided hereunder.
o This Agreement may be terminated by the Fund upon one
hundred twenty (120) days' written notice to Price Services;
and by Price Services, upon three hundred sixty-five (365)
days' writing notice to the Fund.
o Upon termination hereof, the Fund shall pay to Price
Services such compensation as may be due as of the date of
such termination, and shall likewise reimburse for out-of-
pocket expenses related to its services hereunder.
N. Notice
Any notice as required by this Agreement shall be
sufficiently given (i) when sent to an authorized person of the
other party at the address of such party set forth above or at
PAGE 36
such other address as such party may from time to time specify in
writing to the other party; or (ii) as otherwise agreed upon by
appropriate officers of the parties hereto.
O. Assignment
Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations
hereunder may be assigned either voluntarily or involuntarily, by
operation of law or otherwise, by either party without the prior
written consent of the other party, provided this shall not
preclude Price Services from employing such agents and
subcontractors as it deems appropriate to carry out its
obligations set forth hereunder.
P. Amendment/Interpretive Provisions
The parties by mutual written agreement may amend this
Agreement at any time. In addition, in connection with the
operation of this Agreement, Price Services and the Fund may
agree from time to time on such provisions interpretive of or in
addition to the provisions of this Agreement as may in their
joint opinion be consistent with the general tenor of this
Agreement. Any such interpretive or additional provisions are to
be signed by all parties and annexed hereto, but no such
provision shall contravene any applicable Federal or state law or
regulation and no such interpretive or additional provision shall
be deemed to be an amendment of this Agreement.
Q. Further Assurances
Each party agrees to perform such further acts and execute
such further documents as are necessary to effectuate the
purposes hereof.
PAGE 37
R. Maryland Law to Apply
This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions thereof
interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of Maryland.
S. Merger of Agreement
This Agreement, including the attached Appendices and
Schedules supersedes any prior agreement with respect to the
subject hereof, whether oral or written.
T. Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto on any
number of counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken
together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same
instruments.
U. The Parties
All references herein to "the Fund" are to each of the Funds
listed on Appendix A individually, as if this Agreement were
between such individual Fund and Price Services. In the case of
a series Fund or trust, all references to "the Fund" are to the
individual series or portfolio of such Fund or trust, or to such
Fund or trust on behalf of the individual series or portfolio, as
appropriate. The "Fund" also includes any T. Rowe Price Funds
which may be established after the execution of this Agreement.
Any reference in this Agreement to "the parties" shall mean Price
Services and such other individual Fund as to which the matter
pertains.
V. Directors, Trustees and Shareholders and Massachusetts
Business Trust
It is understood and is expressly stipulated that neither
the holders of Shares in the Fund nor any Directors or Trustees
PAGE 38
of the Fund shall be personally liable hereunder. With respect to
any Fund which is a party to this Agreement and which is
organized as a Massachusetts business trust, the term "Fund"
means and refers to the trustees from time to time serving under
the applicable trust agreement (Declaration of Trust) of such
Trust as the same may be amended from time to time. It is
expressly agreed that the obligations of any such Trust hereunder
shall not be binding upon any of the trustees, shareholders,
nominees, officers, agents or employees of the Trust, personally,
but bind only the trust property of the Trust, as provided in the
Declaration of Trust of the Trust. The execution and delivery of
this Agreement has been authorized by the trustees and signed by
an authorized officer of the Trust, acting as such, and neither
such authorization by such Trustees nor such execution and
delivery by such officer shall be deemed to have been made by any
of them, but shall bind only the trust property of the Trust as
provided in its Declaration of Trust.
W. Captions
The captions in the 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.
