Joint PROXY STATEMENT

This Joint Proxy Statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation by the Board of Trustees or the Board of Directors (each, a “Board” and each member of a Board, a “Board Member”) of Transamerica Funds, on behalf ofTransamerica Flexible Income, Transamerica Money Market and Transamerica Short-Term Bond;Transamerica Series Trust (“TST”), on behalf ofTransamerica Money Market VP and Transamerica U.S. Government Securities VP; and Transamerica Income Shares, Inc.(each a “Fund” and collectively the “Funds”), of proxies to be voted at a special meeting of shareholders of the Fund to be held on March 18, 2011, at the offices of Transamerica Asset Management, Inc. (“TAM” or the “Manager”), 570 Carillon Parkway, St. Petersburg, Florida 33716, at 11:00 a.m., Eastern Time (for each Fund, the “Meeting”), and at any and all adjournments or postponements thereof. Each Meeting will be held for the purpose of approving a new investment sub-advisory agreement with a new sub-adviser for your Transamerica fund (the “Proposal”).

The Board of each Fund has determined that the use of this Joint Proxy Statement for such Fund’s Meeting is in the best interests of the Fund and its shareholders in light of the similar matters being considered and voted on by the shareholders of each of the Funds. This Joint Proxy Statement and the accompanying materials are being mailed by the Boards on or about February 11, 2011.

Each of Transamerica Funds and TST (each, a “Trust”) is organized as a Delaware statutory trust, andTransamerica Income Shares, Inc. (“TIS”) is a Maryland corporation. For purposes of this Joint Proxy Statement, each of Transamerica Funds and TST is referred to as a “Trust,” and the Trusts and TIS are referred to collectively as the “Investment Companies.” TIS is itself a Fund and has no series. In certain cases, for ease of comprehension, the term “Fund” is used in this Joint Proxy Statement where it may be more precise to refer to the “Investment Company” of which the Fund is a series. The Investment Companies are investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”).

Transamerica Money Market VP and Transamerica U.S. Government Securities VPare offered to variable annuity and variable life insurance separate accounts established by insurance companies to fund variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. For purposes of this Joint Proxy Statement, the term “shareholder” (when used to refer to the beneficial holder of ownership interests in the Fund) shall also be deemed to include holders of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies.

Shareholders of record at the close of business on January 21, 2011 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to vote at the Meeting. Shareholders of each Fund are entitled to one vote for each dollar of net asset value of the Fund represented by the shareholder’s shares of the Fund. The manner in which shareholders of each Fund are entitled to vote is shown below. The number of shares of each Fund outstanding at the close of business on January 21, 2011 and the net assets of each Fund as of that date are shown in Appendix A.

The Fund of which you are a shareholder is named on the proxy card included with this Joint Proxy Statement. If you own shares in more than one Fund as of January 21, 2011, you may receive more than one proxy card. Even if you plan to attend the Meeting, please sign, date and return EACH proxy card you receive, or if you provide voting instructions by telephone or over the Internet, please vote on the proposals affecting EACH Fund you own. If you vote by telephone or over the Internet, you will be asked to enter a unique code that has been assigned to you, which is printed on your proxy card(s). This code is designed to confirm your identity, provide access into the voting sites and confirm that your instructions are properly recorded.

All properly executed proxies received prior to a Fund’s Meeting will be voted at that Meeting. On the matters coming before each Meeting as to which a shareholder has specified a choice on that shareholder’s proxy, the shares will be voted accordingly. If a proxy is properly executed and returned and no choice is specified with respect to one or more proposals, the shares will be voted “FOR” each such proposal. Shareholders who execute proxies or provide voting instructions by telephone or the Internet may revoke them with respect to the Proposal at any time before a vote is taken on the Proposal by filing with the applicable Fund a written notice of revocation (addressed to the Secretary of the Fund at the principal executive offices of the Fund at the address above), by delivering a duly executed proxy bearing a later date or by attending the Meeting and voting in person, in all cases prior to the exercise of the authority granted in the proxy card. Merely attending the Meeting, however, will not revoke any previously executed proxy. If you hold shares through a bank or other intermediary or if you are the holder of a variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy (as discussed below), please consult your bank or intermediary or your participating insurance company regarding your ability to revoke voting instructions after such instructions have been provided.

Photographic identification will be required for admission to the Meeting.

Annual reports are sent to shareholders of record of each Fund following the Fund’s fiscal year end.

The fiscal year end for each ofTransamerica Flexible Income, Transamerica Money Market and Transamerica Short-Term Bond is October 31.The fiscal year end for each ofTransamerica Money Market VP and Transamerica U.S. Government Securities VPis December 31. The fiscal year end for TIS is March 31. Each Fund will furnish, without charge, a copy of its annual report and most recent semi-annual report succeeding the annual report, if any, to a shareholder upon request. Such requests should be directed to the Fund by calling toll free at (888) 233-4339 or by writing to the Fund at 570 Carillon Parkway, St. Petersburg, FL 33716. Copies of annual and semi-annual reports of each Fund also are available in the EDGAR Database on the Securities and Exchange Commission’s Internet site at www.sec.gov.

Please note that only one annual or semi-annual report or Joint Proxy Statement may be delivered to two or more shareholders of a Fund who share an address, unless the Fund has received instructions to the contrary. To request a separate copy of an annual report or the Joint Proxy Statement, or for instructions as to how to request a separate copy of these documents or as to how to request a single copy if multiple copies of these documents are received, shareholders should contact the applicable Fund at the address and phone number set forth above.

VOTE REQUIRED AND MANNER OF VOTING PROXIES

A quorum of shareholders is required to take action at each Meeting. With respect toTransamerica Flexible Income, Transamerica Money Market, Transamerica Short-Term Bond, Transamerica Money Market VP and Transamerica U.S. Government Securities VP,the quorum requirement is thirty percent (30%) of the voting power of the Fund.With respect to TIS, the shareholders of a majority of outstanding shares as of the Record Date, present in person or by proxy, shall constitute a quorum for the transaction of business at the Meeting.

Votes cast by proxy or in person at each Meeting will be tabulated by the inspectors of election appointed for that Meeting. The inspectors of election, who are employees of the proxy solicitor engaged by TAM, on behalf of the Funds, will determine whether or not a quorum is present at the Meeting. The inspectors of election will treat abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., shares held by brokers or nominees, typically in “street name,” as to which proxies have been returned but (a) instructions have not been received from the beneficial owners or persons entitled to vote and (b) the broker or nominee does not have discretionary voting power on a particular matter) as present for purposes of determining a quorum. Any abstentions or broker non-votes will not constitute a vote “FOR” the Proposal and effectively result in a vote “AGAINST” the Proposal.

If you hold your shares directly (not through a broker-dealer, bank or other financial institution, or variable annuity contract or variable life insurance policy) and if you return a signed proxy card that does not specify how you wish to vote on a proposal, your shares will be voted “FOR” the Proposal.

Broker-dealer firms holding shares of a Fund in “street name” for the benefit of their customers and clients will request the instructions of such customers and clients on how to vote their shares on each Proposal before the Meeting. The New York Stock Exchange (the “NYSE”) may take the position that a broker-dealer that is a member of the NYSE and that has not received instructions from a customer or client prior to the date specified in the broker-dealer firm’s request for voting instructions may not vote such customer or client’s shares with respect to the Proposal. A signed proxy card or other authorization by a beneficial owner of Fund shares that does not specify how the beneficial owner’s shares should be voted on a proposal will have the effect of a vote “AGAINST” the Proposal.

If you hold shares of a Fund through a bank or other financial institution or intermediary (called a service agent) that has entered into a service agreement with the Fund or a distributor of the Fund, the service agent may be the record holder of your shares. At the Meeting, a service agent will vote shares for which it receives instructions from its customers in accordance with those instructions. A signed proxy card or other authorization by a shareholder that does not specify how the shareholder’s shares should be voted on a proposal may be deemed to authorize a service provider to vote such shares in favor of the applicable proposal. Depending on its policies, applicable law or contractual or other restrictions, a service agent may be permitted to vote shares with respect to which it has not received specific voting instructions from its customers. In those cases, the service agent may, but may not be required to, vote such shares in the same proportion as those shares for which the service agent has received voting instructions. This practice is commonly referred to as “echo voting.”

Shares ofTransamerica Money Market VP and Transamerica U.S. Government Securities VPare held by the variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance products offered by the separate accounts of participating life insurance companies. However, in accordance with current law and interpretations thereof, participating insurance companies will vote shares held in the separate accounts in a manner consistent with voting instructions timely received from the holders of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies. A signed proxy card or other authorization by a holder that does not specify how the holder’s shares should be voted on a proposal may be deemed an instruction to vote such shares in favor of the applicable proposal. Those persons who have a voting interest at the close of business on January 21, 2011 will be entitled to submit instructions to their participating insurance company. Each participating insurance company will vote shares ofTransamerica Money Market VP and Transamerica U.S. Government Securities VPheld in separate accounts for which no timely instructions are received from the holders of variable annuity contracts and variable life insurance policies, as well as shares it owns, in the same proportion as those shares for which such insurance company receives voting instructions.

If you beneficially own shares that are held in “street name” through a broker-dealer or that are held of record by a service agent, or if you hold shares through a variable annuity contract or a variable life insurance policy, and if you do not give specific voting instructions for your shares, they may not be voted at all or, as described above, they may be voted in a manner that you may not intend. Therefore, you are strongly encouraged to give your broker-dealer, service agent or participating insurance company specific instructions as to how you want your shares to be voted.

In the case of the asset allocation funds in theTransamerica fund complex that invest their assets in one or more of the Funds, TAM will vote shares of the underlying Funds in accordance with the recommendations of the Boards of the Funds. The Boards have recommended that such shares be voted “FOR” the Proposal.

The Proposal requires the approval of the holders of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the applicable Fund present or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Meeting. The “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” is defined in the 1940 Act as the lesser of the vote of (a) 67% or more of the voting power of the voting securities of the Fund that are present at the Meeting or represented by proxy if holders of shares representing more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund are present or represented by proxy, or (b) more than 50% of the voting power of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. Approval of the Proposal for each Fund will occur only if a sufficient number of votes at the Meeting are cast “FOR” that Proposal.

CHANGES TO FUND NAMES

In connection with the proposed change in sub-adviser to AEGON USA Investment Management, LLC (“AUIM” or the “Sub-Adviser”), the name for each of the following Funds will be changed to reflect AUIM’s role in management of those Funds’ assets, assuming the Proposal is approved by the Fund’s shareholders:

Current Name	New Name
Transamerica Flexible Income	Transamerica AEGON Flexible Income
Transamerica Money Market	Transamerica AEGON Money Market
Transamerica Money Market VP	Transamerica AEGON Money Market VP
Transamerica Short-Term Bond	Transamerica AEGON Short-Term Bond
Transamerica U.S. Government Securities VP	Transamerica AEGON U.S. Government Securities VP

The objective and principal strategies and risks for each of these Funds, as well as for TIS, will not be changed in connection with the Proposal. TAM will continue to serve as each Fund’s investment adviser, its advisory fee will not increase as a result of the changes, and the expense limitation agreement with respect to each Fund will remain unchanged.

PROPOSAL – TO APPROVE A NEW SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

At the Meeting, you will be asked to approve a new sub-advisory agreement (each, a “New Sub-Advisory Agreement”) between TAM, your Fund’s investment adviser, and AUIM, your Fund’s proposed new sub-adviser. A general description of the proposed New Sub-Advisory Agreements is included below. The terms of each New Sub-Advisory Agreement are generally similar to those of the current sub-advisory agreement it replaces. The Board of each Fund approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreement at a special in-person meeting held on January 19, 2011. Shareholder approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement must be obtained, and the Board has authorized seeking such approval.Each Sub-Advisory Agreement may be implemented on an interim basis pending shareholder approval, as permitted under the 1940 Act.The form of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement is included in Appendix B.

Currently, Transamerica Investment Management, LLC (“TIM”) is a party to an investment sub-advisory agreement with TAM with respect to each Fund except TIS, and TIM is a party to an assumption agreement among TIM, TAM and TISpursuant to which TIM has assumed the position of, and agreed to act as, sub-adviser to TIS (each agreement, a “Current Sub-Advisory Agreement”). The date of each Fund’s Current Sub-Advisory Agreement and the date on which it was approved by the Board are provided in Appendix C. Under the Current Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund, TIM provides investment research, advice, management and supervision, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board Members and TAM, the Fund’s investment adviser. The Current Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund was last approved by the Board of the Fund at an in-person meeting on June 10, 2010. The date on which each Current Sub-Advisory Agreement was last submitted to a vote of the Fund’s shareholders is included inAppendix C.

The appointment of AUIM is not expected to result in any material changes in the nature or the level of investment advisory services provided to any Fund by TAM.

AUIM hasasset management capabilities across the fixed income spectrum and a depth of research and management staff and resources that will enable it to implement the current investment strategies of each Fund. In addition, it is expected that certain portfolio managers at TIM will join AUIM following the consolidation of all fixed income activities under AUIM.AUIM will utilize the expertise of these TIM portfolio managers while leveraging the experience, scale, depth of talent and institutional resources of AUIM. AUIM also has access to global resources and the ability to tap expertise across AEGON.

TAM recommended AUIM to the Boards of the Fundsbased on an overall assessment of AUIM’s dual top-down and bottom-up investment approach to determine economic outlook and investment themes to be utilized in fixed income portfolio management. AUIM balances top-down macroeconomic analysis with proprietary traditional and nontraditional bottom-up credit research. AUIM takes a long-term perspective with a consistent focus on delivering competitive risk-adjusted returns over complete economic cycles. AUIM’s fixed income group employs a disciplined, team-oriented investment process which focuses on fundamentals, technicals and valuation at each stage of the investment decision process.

General Description of Sub-Advisory Agreement

Set forth below is a general description of the terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements and a general comparison with the terms of the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements. A copy of the form of New Sub-Advisory Agreement is attached to this Joint Proxy Statement as Appendix B, and you should refer to Appendix B for the complete terms of the New Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Investment Management Services. Each of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements provides that, subject to the supervision of the Fund’s Board Members and of TAM, the Sub-Adviser will regularly provide the Fund, with respect to that portion of a Fund’s assets allocated to the Sub-Adviser by TAM, with investment research, advice, management and supervision, will furnish a continuous investment program for the allocated assets consistent with the Fund’s investment objectives, policies, restrictions and any written restrictions or limitations from TAM or the Fund, will determine from time to time what securities and other investments and instruments will be purchased, retained, sold or exchanged by the Fund, and will implement those decisions, all subject to the provisions of the Fund’s governing documents, the 1940 Act, the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), and other applicable federal and state law, as well as any other specific policies adopted by the Fund’s Board and disclosed to the Sub-Adviser and any written instructions and directions the Board or TAM provides to the Sub-Adviser.

The Current Sub-Advisory Agreements address the services to be provided in a similar manner, except that the Current Sub-Advisory Agreement for each of Transamerica Money Market VP and Transamerica U.S. Government Securities VP only provides that the current sub-adviser willsupervise and direct the investments of that Fund in accordance with the Fund’s investment objective, policies and restrictions as provided in its current prospectus and statement of additional information and such other written limitations provided by TAM or the Fund. The Current Sub-Advisory Agreement for TIS provides that the current sub-adviser will provide portfolio management services for that Fund, such as the provision of investment advisory, statistical and research facilities and services, supervision of the Fund’s portfolio composition, and advice concerning of the nature and timing of changes to the Fund’s portfolio and the manner of effectuating such changes, subject to supervision of the Fund’s Board of Directors.

Under each Fund’s New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser is authorized to place orders pursuant to its investment determinations with respect to the allocated assets either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer, foreign currency dealer, futures commission merchant or others selected by it. Subject to any policies and procedures of the Fund’s Board that may modify or restrict the Sub-Adviser’s authority regarding the execution of the Fund’s portfolio transactions provided in the Agreement and described below, the Sub-Adviser may select brokers or dealers who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) to the Funds and/or the other accounts over which the Sub-Adviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion, a practice commonly referred to as “soft dollars.” The Sub-Adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for a Fund which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Sub-Adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities that the Sub-Adviser and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. Each Current Sub-Advisory Agreement contains similar provisions, except that the Current Sub-Advisory Agreement for TIS does not explicitly address soft dollar arrangements.

Each New Sub-Advisory Agreement further provides that, unless TAM advises the Sub-Adviser in writing that the right to vote proxies has been expressly reserved to TAM or the Investment Companies or otherwise delegated to another party, the Sub-Adviser will exercise voting rights pertaining to its allocated portion of a Fund’s assets in accordance with the Sub-Adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures without consultation with TAM or the Fund. Each New Sub-Advisory Agreement further provides that the Sub-Adviser will furnish a copy of its proxy voting policies and procedures, and any amendments thereto, to TAM. The Current Sub-Advisory Agreements do not explicitly address proxy voting matters.

Fees. Under both the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements and the New Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Manager pays the sub-adviser a fee out of the management fee the Manager receives from the Fund. The sub-advisory fees payable by the Manager to AUIM are identical to the sub-advisory fees paid under the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements. Fees paid to the current sub-adviser during the Fund’s most recent fiscal year are reflected inAppendix C.

Payment of Expenses. Each New Sub-Advisory Agreement requires the Sub-Adviser to pay all expenses incurred by it in the performance of its duties under the Agreement and requires TAM to pay all expenses incurred by it in the performance of TAM’s duties under the Agreement. Under each New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Fund will bear all expenses not expressly assumed by TAM or the Sub-Adviser incurred in the operation of the Fund and the offering of its shares. Each Current Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that the Sub-Adviser shall pay for expenses it incurs out of the sub-advisory fees it receives from TAM. In addition, the Current Sub-Advisory Agreement for each of Transamerica Short-Term Bond and TIS identifies certain expenses to be assumed by the Fund.The operating expenses of the Funds are not expected to increase as a result of entering into the New Sub-Advisory Agreements.

Conflicts of Interest. Each New Sub-Advisory Agreement provides that the Sub-Adviser will not deal with itself, or with members of a Fund’s Board or any principal underwriter of the Fund, as principals or agents in making purchases or sales of securities or other property for the account of the Fund, nor will it purchase any securities from an underwriting or selling group in which the Sub-Adviser or its affiliates is participating, or arrange for purchases and sales of securities between a Fund and another account advised by the Sub-Adviser or its affiliates, except in each case as permitted by the 1940 Act and in accordance with such policies and procedures as may be adopted by a Fund from time to time(e.g., policies and procedures with respect to Rule 10f-3, concerning affiliated underwritings, and Rule 17e-1, concerning affiliated brokerage, under the 1940 Act). Each New Sub-Advisory Agreement specifically provides that personnel of the Sub-Adviser may nonetheless engage in any other business or devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature or a dissimilar nature. In addition, the Sub-Adviser may engage in any other business or render services of any kind, including investment advisory and management services, to any other fund, firm, individual or association. The Current Sub-Advisory Agreements address potential conflicts in a similar manner.

Each New Sub-Advisory Agreement also provides that if the purchase or sale of securities consistent with the investment policies of a Fund or one or more other accounts of the Sub-Adviser are considered at or about the same time, transactions in such securities must be allocated among the accounts in a manner deemed equitable by the Sub-Adviser. In addition, if transactions of a Fund and another client are combined, as permitted by applicable laws and regulations, such transactions must be consistent with the Sub-Adviser’s policies and procedures as presented to the Board from time to time. The Current Sub-Advisory Agreements address trade allocation in a similar manner, except that the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements for Transamerica U.S. Government Securities VP and TIS do not explicitly address allocation matters.

Limitation on Liability. Under each New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Sub-Adviser assumes no responsibility other than to render the services called for by the agreement in good faith, and the Sub-Adviser is not liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for a Fund. The Sub-Adviser is not protected, however, from willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties under the agreement. This same limitation of liability applies to affiliates of the Sub-Adviser who may provide services to the Fund as contemplated by the New Sub-Advisory Agreement. The Current Sub-Advisory Agreements for Transamerica Short-Term Bond and Transamerica U.S. Government Securities VP address limitations on liability in a similar manner; the Current Sub-Advisory Agreements for Transamerica Flexible Income, Transamerica Money Market, Transamerica Money Market VP and TIS do not explicitly address limitations on liability.

Term and Continuance. The Current Sub-Advisory Agreement of each Fund was in effect for an initial two-year term and was eligible to be continued thereafter for successive one-year periods if such continuance was specifically approved at least annually (a) by the Board or (b) by a vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund, provided that in either event the continuance is also approved by a majority of the Board Members who are not interested persons of any party to the agreement. If approved by shareholders of a Fund, the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund will terminate, unless sooner terminated as set forth therein, after an initial two-year term. Thereafter, if not terminated, each New Sub-Advisory Agreement will continue in effect from year to year if such continuance is specifically approved at least annually as discussed above with respect to the Current Sub-Advisory Agreement.

Termination. The New Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund provides that the Fund may terminate the Agreement at any time, without penalty, by the Board or the shareholders of the Fund acting by a vote of at least a majority of its outstanding voting securities. In addition, each New Sub-Advisory Agreement may be terminated by TAM upon written notice to the Sub-Adviser, without the payment of any penalty. The New Sub-Advisory Agreement for each Fund also provides that the Sub-Adviser may terminate the Agreement upon giving 90 days’ written notice to TAM. Each New Sub-Advisory Agreement will terminate automatically in the event of its “assignment” (as defined in the 1940 Act) and may not be assigned by TAM without the consent of the Sub-Adviser. The Current Sub-Advisory Agreements contain similar termination provisions, except that they require sixty days’ written notice of termination by the Fund, TAM or the current sub-adviser.

Board Considerations

At a meeting held on January 19, 2011, the Board of each Fund, including the independent Board Members, approved the New Sub-Advisory Agreement for the Fund between TAM and AUIM, the Fund’s proposed new Sub-Adviser.

To assist the Board Members in their consideration of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements, the Board Members received in advance of their meeting certain materials and information. In addition, the independent Board Members consulted with their independent legal counsel, discussing, among other things, the legal standards and certain other considerations relevant to the Board Members’ deliberations.

Among other matters, the Board Members considered:

(a) that TAM advised the Board Members that the appointment of AUIM is not expected to result in any diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to each Fund and its shareholders, including compliance services;

(b) that AUIM is an experienced and respected asset management firm, and that TAM believes that AUIM has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide advisory services to the Fund based on an assessment of the services that AUIM provides to other funds within the Transamerica fund complex;

(d) that certain portfolio managers at TIM are expected to join AUIM following the consolidation of all fixed income activities under AUIM;

(e) that in June 2010 the Board performed a full annual review of a number of sub-advisory agreements with AUIM with respect to Transamerica funds not discussed herein, and determined that AUIM has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the sub-advisory services to the applicable Transamerica funds;

(f) the proposed responsibilities of AUIM for each Fund and the services expected to be provided by it;

(g) the fact that the sub-advisory fees payable by TAM to AUIM would be the same as those paid by TAM to the Fund’s current sub-adviser;

(h) that advisory fees paid by the Funds to TAM would not increase;

(i) that the sub-advisory fees paid by TAM to AUIM are consistent with TAM’s fiduciary duty under applicable law;

(j) that TAM recommended to the Board that AUIM be appointed as Sub-Adviser to each Fund based on its desire to engage a sub-adviser with strong research and management capabilities across the fixed income spectrum and with the ability to implement the current investment strategies of each Fund;

(k) that the Proposal is part of a broader initiative by AEGON to consolidate the fixed income activities of TIM and AUIM into a single investment platform under AUIM; and

(l) that the Funds would bear the costs of obtaining shareholder approval of the New Sub-Advisory Agreements, such costs to be allocated on the basis of their respective net assets except where direct costs can reasonably be attributed to a particular Fund.

Further, the Board Members, including a majority of the independent Board Members, found that the change in sub-adviser to AUIM is in the best interests of each Fund and its shareholders and does not involve a conflict of interest from which TAM and AUIM derives an inappropriate advantage. A discussion followed which included additional consideration of these and other matters.

In their deliberations, the Board Members did not identify any particular information that was all-important or controlling, and each Board Member may have attributed different weights to the various factors. The Board Members evaluated all information available to them on a fund-by-fund basis, and their determinations were made separately in respect of each Fund. The Board Members of each applicable Fund, including a majority of the Independent Board Members, concluded that the applicable New Sub-Advisory Agreement should be approved and that the fees payable thereunder are consistent with TAM’s fiduciary duty under applicable law, and, in each case, that the New Sub-Advisory Agreement should be recommended to Fund shareholders for approval.

Nature, Quality and Extent of Services Provided.In evaluating the nature, quality and extent of the services to be provided by AUIM under each New Sub-Advisory Agreement, the Board Members considered, among other things, information and assurances provided by TAM and AUIM as to the operations, facilities, organization and personnel of AUIM, the anticipated ability of AUIM to perform its duties under each New Sub-Advisory Agreement, and the anticipated ability of AUIM to implement the current investment strategies of each Fund. The Board Members also considered that AUIM and TAM are affiliated entities. The Board Members considered the proposed change to each Fund’s name, except with respect to TIS, for which no such change had been proposed. The Board Members considered that TAM has advised the Board Members that the appointment of AUIM is not expected to result in any diminution in the nature, quality and extent of services provided to each Fund and its shareholders, including compliance services. The Board Members considered that AUIM is an experienced and respected asset management firm and that TAM believes that AUIM has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide advisory services to each Fund based on the assessment of the services that AUIM provides to other funds within the Transamerica fund complex. The Board Members took into consideration that certain portfolio managers at TIM are expected to join AUIM following the consolidation of all fixed income activities under AUIM. The Board Members also considered that they recently had performed a full annual review of a number of sub-advisory

agreements with AUIM and had determined that AUIM has the capabilities, resources and personnel necessary to provide the sub-advisory services to the funds subject to those agreements.

Based on their review of the materials provided and the assurances they had received from TAM, the Board Members of each Fund determined that AUIM can provide sub-advisory services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of the investment program for the Fund and that AUIM’s appointment is not expected to adversely affect the nature, quality and extent of services provided to the Fund.

Fees and Costs of Services Provided.The Board Members considered the sub-advisory fee rate under the New Sub-Advisory Agreements as well as the overall management fee structure of the Funds and noted that they would remain unchanged. The Board Members noted that each Fund does not pay the sub-advisory fee. The Board Members took into consideration that they had recently reviewed the Manager’s profitability with respect to the Funds and that advisory fees would remain unchanged. The Board Members of each Fund determined that the sub-advisory fee payable by TAM to AUIM is consistent with TAM’s fiduciary duty under applicable law.

Economies of Scale. The Board Members noted that the advisory fee schedules of the Funds would remain unchanged and that TAM believes that the appointment of AUIM as sub-adviser has the potential to attract additional assetsbecause of AUIM’s asset management capabilities across the fixed income spectrum. The Board Members also considered that breakpoint fee structures were in place with respect to Transamerica Flexible Income and Transamerica Short-Term Bond. The Board Members concluded that they would have the opportunity to periodically re-examine whether economies of scale had been achieved, and the appropriateness of management fees payable to TAM and fees payable by TAM to AUIM, in the future.

Fall-Out Benefits.The Board Members took into consideration the character of other incidental benefits received by AUIM, including the use of portfolio brokerage transactions to pay for research services that AUIM typically enters into with regard to other funds that it sub-advises within the Transamerica fund complex and noted that they had recently determined that such benefits are expected to be consistent with industry practice and the best interests of those funds and their shareholders. The Board Members also considered the potential for increased visibility in the marketplace as a result of AUIM’s relationship with each Fund.

Investment Performance.The Board Members considered AUIM’s investment management experience, capabilities and resources, including with respect to other funds that it sub-advises within the Transamerica fund complex. In addition, the Board Members noted that they had recently considered the performance of those other funds and, in that connection, determined thatAUIM was capable of providing investment and related services that are appropriate in scope and extent in light of those funds’ operations, the competitive landscape of the investment company business and investor needs. Based on this information, the Board Members of each Fund determined that AUIM is capable of generating a level of investment performance that is appropriate in light of the Fund’s investment objectives, policies and strategies.

Other Considerations.The Board Members considered that the Proposal is part of a broader initiative byAEGON to consolidate the fixed income activities of TIM and AUIM into a single investment platform under AUIM.

statements the Fund sends.

FORM OF

INVESTMENT SUB-ADVISORY AGREEMENT

AEGON USA INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, LLC

This Agreement, entered into as of [_____], 2011 by and between Transamerica Asset Management, Inc., a Florida corporation (referred to herein as “TAM”) and AEGON USA Investment Management, LLC, an Iowa limited liability company (referred to herein as the “Sub-adviser”).

TAM is the investment adviser to [Transamerica Funds] [Transamerica Series Trust] [(the “Trust”), an open-end investment company] [Transamerica Income Shares, Inc. (“TIS”), a closed-end investment company] registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (collectively with the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder and any exemptive orders thereunder, the “1940 Act”). TAM wishes to engage the Sub-adviser to provide certain investment advisory services to [each series of the Trust listed onSchedule A hereto (the “[Fund/Portfolio]”)] [TIS]. The Sub-adviser desires to furnish services for [the Trust] [TIS] and to perform the functions assigned to it under this Agreement for the considerations provided. Accordingly, the parties have agreed as follows:

1. Appointment. In accordance with the [Investment Advisory Agreement between the Trust and TAM][Assumption of Management and Investment Advisory Agreement with respect to TIS](the “Advisory Agreement”), TAM hereby appoints the Sub-adviser to act as sub-adviser with respect to [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Sub-adviser accepts such appointment and agrees to render or cause to be rendered the services set forth for the compensation herein specified.

2. Sub-advisory Services. In its capacity as sub-adviser to [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS], the Sub-adviser shall have the following responsibilities:

(a) Subject to the supervision of the [Trust’s Board of Trustees] [Board of Directors of TIS] (the “Board”) and TAM, the Sub-adviser shall regularly provide [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] with respect to such portion of [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s] [TIS’s] assets as shall be allocated to the Sub-adviser by TAM from time to time (the “Allocated Assets”) with investment research, advice, management and supervision and shall furnish a continuous investment program for the Allocated Assets consistent with [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s] [TIS’s] investment objectives, policies and restrictions, as stated in [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information] [TIS’s registration statement as amended or supplemented from time to time], and subject to such other restrictions and limitations as directed by the officers of TAM or [the Trust] [TIS] by notice in writing to the Sub-adviser. The Sub-adviser shall, with respect to the Allocated Assets, determine from time to time what securities and other investments and instruments will be purchased, retained, sold or exchanged by [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] and what portion of the Allocated Assets will be held in the various securities and other investments in which [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] invests, and shall implement those decisions (including the negotiation and execution of investment documentation and agreements, including, without limitation, swaps, futures, options and other agreements with counterparties, on [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s] [TIS’s] behalf as the Sub-adviser deems appropriate from time to time in order to carry out its responsibilities hereunder, provided the Sub-adviser provides TAM prompt notice of any new investment agreements and any material amendments to existing investment agreements and the opportunity for legal review), all subject to the provisions of [the Trust’s Declaration of Trust] [TIS’s Articles of Incorporation] and By-Laws (collectively, the “Governing Documents”), the 1940 Act and the applicable rules and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), interpretive guidance issued thereunder by the SEC staff and any other applicable federal and state law, as well as the investment objectives, policies and restrictions of [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] referred to above, any written instructions and directions of the Board or TAM provided to the Sub-adviser from time to time, and any other specific policies adopted by the Board and disclosed to the Sub-adviser. The Sub-adviser’s responsibility for providing investment research, advice, management and supervision to [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] is limited to that discrete portion of [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] represented by the Allocated Assets and the Sub-adviser is prohibited from directly or indirectly consulting with any other Sub-adviser for a portion of [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s] [TIS’s] assets concerning [Fund/Portfolio] transactions [for TIS] in securities or other assets. The Sub-adviser is authorized as the agent of [the Trust] [TIS] to give instructions with respect to the Allocated Assets to the custodian of [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] as to deliveries of securities and other investments and payments of cash for the account of [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS]. Subject to applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the investment program to be provided hereunder may entail the investment of all or substantially all of the assets of [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] in one or more investment companies.

(b) The Sub-adviser will place orders pursuant to its investment determinations for [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer, foreign currency dealer, futures commission merchant or others selected by it. In connection with the selection of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, subject to applicable law, brokers or dealers may be selected who also provide brokerage and research services (as those terms are defined in Section 28(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) to [the

B-1

Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] and/or the other accounts over which the Sub-adviser or its affiliates exercise investment discretion. The Sub-adviser is authorized to pay a broker or dealer who provides such brokerage and research services a commission for executing a portfolio transaction for [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] which is in excess of the amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged for effecting that transaction if the Sub-adviser determines in good faith that such amount of commission is reasonable in relation to the value of the brokerage and research services provided by such broker or dealer. This determination may be viewed in terms of either that particular transaction or the overall responsibilities which the Sub-adviser and its affiliates have with respect to accounts over which they exercise investment discretion. The Board may adopt policies and procedures that modify and restrict the Sub-adviser’s authority regarding the execution of [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s] [TIS’s] portfolio transactions provided herein.

(c) [The Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] hereby authorizes any entity or person associated with the Sub-adviser which is a member of a national securities exchange to effect any transaction on the exchange for the account of [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] which is permitted by Section 11(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 11a2-2(T) thereunder, and [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] hereby consents to the retention of compensation for such transactions in accordance with Rule 11a2-2(T)(a)(2)(iv). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Sub-adviser agrees that it will not deal with itself, or with [Trustees of the Trust] [Directors of TIS] [or any principal underwriter of the Fund/Portfolio], as principals or agents in making purchases or sales of securities or other property for the account of [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS], nor will it purchase any securities from an underwriting or selling group in which the Sub-adviser or its affiliates is participating, or arrange for purchases and sales of securities between [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] and another account advised by the Sub-adviser or its affiliates, except in each case as permitted by the 1940 Act and in accordance with such policies and procedures as may be adopted by [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] from time to time, and will comply with all other provisions of the Governing Documents and [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information] [TIS’s registration statement as amended or supplemented from time to time] relative to the Sub-adviser and its directors and officers.

(d) Unless TAM advises the Sub-adviser in writing that the right to vote proxies has been expressly reserved to TAM or [the Trust] [TIS] or otherwise delegated to another party, the Sub-adviser shall exercise voting rights incident to any security purchased with, or comprising a portion of, the Allocated Assets, in accordance with the Sub-adviser’s proxy voting policies and procedures without consultation with TAM or [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS]. The Sub-adviser agrees to furnish a copy of its proxy voting policies and procedures, and any amendments thereto, to TAM.

(e) The Sub-adviser will monitor the security valuations of the Allocated Assets. If the Sub-adviser believes that [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s] [TIS’s] carrying value for a security does not fairly represent the price that could be obtained for the security in a current market transaction, the Sub-adviser will notify TAM promptly.In addition, the Sub-adviser will be available to consult with TAM in the event of a pricing problem and to participate in [the Trust’s] [TIS’s] Valuation Committee meetings.

3. Activities of the Sub-adviser. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, or employee of the Sub-adviser to engage in any other business or to devote his or her time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature or a dissimilar nature, nor to limit or restrict the right of the Sub-adviser to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind, including investment advisory and management services, to any other fund, firm, individual or association. If the purchase or sale of securities for [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] and one or more other accounts of the Sub-adviser is considered at or about the same time, transactions in such securities will be allocated among the accounts in a manner deemed equitable by the Sub-adviser. Such transactions may be combined, in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, and consistent with the Sub-adviser’s policies and procedures as presented to the Board from time to time.

4. Allocation of Charges and Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] will bear all expenses not expressly assumed by TAM or the Sub-adviser incurred in the operation of [the Fund/Portfolio and the offering of its shares] [TIS]. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(a) [The Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] shall pay its allocable share of (i) fees payable to TAM pursuant to the Advisory Agreement; (ii) the cost (including brokerage commissions, if any) incurred in connection with purchases and sales of [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s] [TIS’s] portfolio securities; (iii) expenses of organizing [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS]; (iv) filing fees and expenses relating to registering and qualifying and maintaining the registration and qualification of [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s] [TIS’s] shares for sale under federal and state securities laws; (v) the compensation, fees and reimbursements paid to [the Trust’s non-interested Trustees] [TIS’s non-interested Directors]; (vi) custodian and transfer agent fees; (vii) legal and accounting expenses allocable to [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS], including costs for local representation in [the Trust’s] [TIS’s] jurisdiction of organization and fees and expenses of special counsel, if any, for the independent [Trustees] [Directors]; (viii) all federal, state and local tax (including stamp, excise, income and franchise taxes) and the preparation and filing of all returns and reports in connection therewith; (ix) cost of certificates, if any, and delivery to purchasers; (x) expenses of preparing and filing reports with federal and state regulatory authorities; (xi) expenses of shareholders’ meetings and of preparing, printing and distributing proxy

(b) TAM shall pay all expenses incurred by it in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. TAM shall also pay all fees payable to the Sub-adviser pursuant to this Agreement.

(c) The Sub-adviser shall pay all expenses incurred by it in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. The Sub-adviser shall authorize and permit any of its directors, officers and employees, who may be elected as [Trustees] [Directors] or officers of [the Trust] [TIS], to serve in the capacities in which they are elected, and shall pay all compensation, fees and expenses of such [Trustees] [Directors] and officers.

5. Obligation to Provide Information. Each party’s obligation to provide information shall be as follows:

(a) TAM shall cause the Sub-adviser to be kept fully informed at all times with regard to the securities owned by [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS], its funds available, or to become available, for investment, and generally as to the condition of [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s] [TIS’s] affairs. TAM shall furnish the Sub-adviser with such other documents and information with regard to [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s] [TIS’s] affairs as the Sub-adviser may from time to time reasonably request.

(b) The Sub-adviser, at its expense, shall supply the Board, the officers of [the Trust] [TIS] and TAM with all information and reports reasonably required by them and reasonably available to the Sub-adviser relating to the services provided by the Sub-adviser hereunder, including such information [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s] [TIS’s] Chief Compliance Officer reasonably believes necessary for compliance with Rule 38a-1 under the 1940 Act.

6. Compensation of the Sub-adviser. As compensation for the services performed by the Sub-adviser, TAM shall pay the Sub-adviser out of the advisory fee it receives with respect to [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS], and only to the extent thereof, as promptly as possible after the last day of each month, a fee, computed daily at an annual rate set forth [opposite the Fund’s/Portfolios’ name] on Schedule A annexed hereto. The first payment of the fee shall be made as promptly as possible at the end of the month succeeding the effective date of this Agreement, and shall constitute a full payment of the fee due the Sub-adviser for all services prior to that date. If this Agreement is terminated as of any date not the last day of a month, such fee shall be paid as promptly as possible after such date of termination, shall be based on the average daily net assets of [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] or, if less, the portion thereof comprising the Allocated Assets, in that period from the beginning of such month to such date of termination, and shall be that proportion of such average daily net assets as the number of business days in such period bears to the number of business days in such month. The average daily net assets of [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS], or portion thereof comprising the Allocated Assets, shall in all cases be based only on business days and be computed as of the time of the regular close of business of the New York Stock Exchange, or such other time as stated in [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s then-current Prospectus] [TIS’s registration statement as amended or supplemented from time to time] or as may be determined by the Board.

7. Compensation of [Trustees] [Directors], Officers and Employees.No [Trustee] [Director], officer or employee of [the Trust or the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] shall receive from [the Trust or the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] any salary or other compensation as such [Trustee] [Director], officer or employee while he is at the same time a director, officer, or employee of the Sub-adviser or any affiliated company of the Sub-adviser, except as the Board may decide. This paragraph shall not apply to [Trustees] [Directors], executive committee members, consultants and other persons who are not regular members of the Sub-adviser’s or any affiliated company’s staff.

8. Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect with respect to [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] until the expiration of the time period provided by Rule 15a-4 under the 1940 Act unless sooner approved by a vote of a majority of [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s] [TIS’s] outstanding voting securities. If approved by a vote of a majority of [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s] [TIS’s] outstanding voting securities, the Agreement shall continue in effect for two years from the date of its execution. The Agreement shall continue in effect from year to year thereafter, provided such continuance is specifically approved at least annually by the vote of a majority of the [Trustees] [Directors] who are not parties hereto or interested persons of any such party, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on the approval of the terms of such renewal, and by either the Board or the affirmative vote of a majority of outstanding voting securities of [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS].

9. Termination. This Agreement may be terminated with respect to [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] at any time, without penalty, by the Board or by the shareholders of [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] acting by vote of at least a majority of its outstanding voting securities. This Agreement may also be terminated by TAM upon written notice to the Sub-adviser, without the payment of any penalty. The Sub-adviser may terminate the Agreements only upon giving 90 days’ advance written notice to TAM. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment by the Sub-adviser and shall not be assignable by TAM without the

B-3

consent of the Sub-adviser. [For the avoidance of doubt, it is understood that this Agreement may be amended, terminated or not renewed as to one or more [Funds/Portfolios] without affecting the other [Funds/Portfolios] hereunder.]

10. Use of Name. If this Agreement is terminated with respect to [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] and the Sub-adviser no longer serves as sub-adviser to [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS], the Sub-adviser reserves the right to withdraw from [the Trust] [TIS] the right to the use of its name with respect to [that Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] or any name misleadingly implying a continuing relationship between [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] and the Sub-adviser or any of its affiliates.

11. Liability of the Sub-adviser. The Sub-adviser may rely on information reasonably believed by it to be accurate and reliable. The Sub-adviser assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder, in good faith, and shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law, or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or omission in the execution of securities transactions for [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS], provided that nothing in this Agreement shall protect the Sub-adviser against any liability to TAM or [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] to which the Sub-adviser would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. As used in this Section 11, the term the “Sub-adviser” shall include any affiliates of the Sub-adviser performing services for [the Trust or the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] contemplated hereby and the partners, shareholders, directors, officers and employees of the Sub-adviser and such affiliates.

12. Meanings of Certain Terms. For the purposes of this Agreement, [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s] [TIS’s] “net assets” shall be determined as provided in [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information] [TIS’s registration statement as amended or supplemented from time to time] and the terms “assignment,” “interested person,” and “majority of the outstanding voting securities” shall have the meanings given to them by Section 2(a) of the 1940 Act, subject to such exemptions as may be granted by the SEC by any rule, regulation or order.

13. Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally with respect to [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS], but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought. No material amendment of the Agreement shall be effective with respect to [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] until approved, if so required by the 1940 Act, by vote of the holders of a majority outstanding voting securities of [that Fund/Portfolio] [TIS]. [Schedule A hereto may be amended at any time to add additional series of the Trust as agreed by the Trust, TAM and the Sub-adviser.]

14. Books and Records. The Sub-adviser agrees that it will keep records relating to its services hereunder in accordance with all applicable laws, and in compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Sub-adviser hereby agrees that any records that it maintains for [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] are the property of [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS], and further agrees to surrender promptly to [the Fund/Portfolio] [TIS] any of such records upon [the Fund’s/Portfolio’s] [TIS’s] request. The Sub-adviser further agrees to arrange for the preservation of the records required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act.

15. Miscellaneous. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Should any part of this Agreement be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors.

16. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions thereof interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida and the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act.

17. Interpretation. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to require [the Trust] [TIS] to take any action contrary to its Governing Documents, or any applicable statutory or regulatory requirement to which it is subject or by which it is bound, or to relieve or deprive the Board of its responsibility for and control of the conduct of the affairs of [the Trust] [TIS].

The parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized signatories as of the date and year first above written.
