AMENDED AND RESTATED BYLAWS
OF
PUTNAM HIGH INCOME SECURITIES FUND,
PUTNAM MASTER INTERMEDIATE INCOME TRUST, AND
PUTNAM PREMIER INCOME TRUST

(Dated as of October 17, 2014)


ARTICLE 1
Agreement and Declaration of Trust and Principal Office

      1.1  Agreement and Declaration of Trust.  These Bylaws
shall be subject to the Agreement and Declaration of Trust, as
from time to time in effect (the Declaration of Trust), of the
Massachusetts business trust established by the Declaration of
Trust (the Trust).  Capitalized terms used but not defined in
these Bylaws have the meanings given to them in the Declaration
of Trust.

      1.2  Principal Office of the Trust.  The principal office
of the Trust shall be located in Boston, Massachusetts.  The
Trust may have other principal offices within or without the
Commonwealth of Massachusetts as the Trustees may from time to
time determine.

ARTICLE 2
Meetings of Trustees

      2.1  Regular Meetings.  Regular meetings of the Trustees
may be held without call or notice at such places and at such
times as the Trustees may from time to time determine, provided
that notice of the first regular meeting following any such
determination shall be given to absent Trustees.

      2.2  Special Meetings.  Special meetings of the Trustees
may be held at any time and at any place designated in the call
of the meeting when called by the Chair of the Trustees, the
President, the Executive Vice President or the Treasurer or by
two or more Trustees, sufficient notice thereof being given to
each Trustee by the Clerk or an Assistant Clerk or by the
officer or the Trustees calling the meeting.

      2.3  Notice of Special Meetings.  It shall be sufficient
notice to a Trustee of a special meeting: (a) to send notice (i)
by mail at least forty-eight hours before the meeting, (ii) by
courier at least forty-eight hours before the meeting, (iii) by
electronic mail (e-mail), facsimile or other electronic means at
least twenty-four hours before the meeting, in each case,
addressed to the Trustee at his or her usual or last known
business or residence address (or e-mail address, facsimile
number or other appropriate address); or (b) to give notice to
him or her in person or by telephone at least twenty-four hours
before the meeting.  Notice of a special meeting need not be
given to any Trustee if a written waiver of notice, executed by
him or her before or after the meeting, is filed with the
records of the meeting, or to any Trustee who attends the
meeting without protesting before or at its commencement the
lack of notice to him or her.  Any written waiver of notice may
be provided and delivered to the Trust by mail, courier, e-mail,
facsimile or other electronic means. Neither notice of a meeting
nor a waiver of a notice need specify the purposes of the
meeting.  All notices shall be deemed to be given when sent.

      2.4  Quorum.  At any meeting of the Trustees a majority of
the Trustees then in office shall constitute a quorum.  Once a
quorum has been validly established for a meeting, it cannot be
broken by Trustees withdrawing from the meeting.  Any meeting
may be adjourned from time to time by a majority of the votes
cast upon the question, whether or not a quorum is present, and
the meeting may be held as adjourned without further notice.

      2.5  Telephone Meeting; Action Without a Meeting.  Except
as otherwise provided in the Declaration of Trust and these
Bylaws, any action to be taken by the Trustees may be taken by a
majority of the Trustees present at the meeting of the Trustees
(a quorum being present), including any meeting held by means of
a conference telephone or other communications equipment by
means of which all persons participating in the meeting can hear
each other at the same time and participation by such means
shall constitute presence in person at a meeting. Any action to
be taken by the Trustees may also be taken without a meeting if
one or more written consents thereto are signed by a majority of
the Trustees.  Any written consent may be given by mail,
courier, e-mail, facsimile or other electronic means.  Copies of
such written consents shall be filed with the minutes of the
proceedings of the Trustees.  Such consents shall be treated for
all purposes as a vote taken at a meeting of the Trustees.  If
in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration of Trust
and these Bylaws any action is taken by the Trustees by written
consents of less than all of the Trustees, then prompt notice of
any such action shall be furnished to each Trustee who did not
execute such written consent, provided that the effectiveness of
such action shall not be impaired by any delay or failure to
furnish such notice.

ARTICLE 3
Officers

      3.1  Enumeration; Qualification.  The officers of the Trust
shall be a President, a Treasurer, a Clerk and such other
officers (including Vice President, which shall include the
office of Executive Vice President), if any, as the Trustees
from time to time may in their discretion elect.  The Trust may
also have such agents as the Trustees from time to time may in
their discretion appoint.  In addition, there shall be a Chair
of the Trustees, who will be considered an officer of the
Trustees and not of the Trust.  The Chair of the Trustees shall
be a Trustee and may but need not be a Shareholder; and any
other officer may but need not be a Trustee or a Shareholder.
Any two or more offices may be held by the same person.

      3.2  Election.  The Chair of the Trustees, the President,
the Treasurer and the Clerk shall be elected by the Trustees
upon the occurrence of any vacancy in any such office.  Other
officers, if any, may be elected or appointed by the Trustees at
any time.  Vacancies in any such other office may be filled at
any time.

      3.3  Tenure.  The Chair of the Trustees, the President, the
Treasurer and the Clerk shall hold office in each case until he
or she dies, resigns, is removed or becomes disqualified.  Each
other officer shall hold office, and each agent shall retain
authority, at the pleasure of the Trustees.  Notwithstanding the
foregoing, the tenure of any officer of the Trust who is an
employee or officer of the Trusts investment adviser or its
affiliates shall automatically terminate contemporaneously with
the termination of such persons employment with, or service as
officer of, the Trusts investment adviser and all of its
affiliates.

      3.4  Powers.  Subject to the other provisions of these
Bylaws, each officer shall have, in addition to the duties and
powers set forth in these Bylaws and in the Declaration of
Trust, such duties and powers as are commonly incident to the
office occupied by him or her as if the Trust were organized as
a Massachusetts business corporation and such other duties and
powers as the Trustees may from time to time designate.

      3.5  Chair.  Unless the Trustees otherwise provide, the
Chair of the Trustees shall preside at all meetings of the
Trustees.  The Chair of the Trustees shall have such other
duties and powers relating to the operations of the Trustees as
the Trustees may from time to time designate, but shall have no
individual authority to act for the Trust as an officer of the
Trust.  The Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who
are not interested persons of the Trust, as that term is defined
in the 1940 Act, may appoint one or more persons to perform the
duties of the Chair of the Trustees in the event of his or her
absence at any meeting or in the event of his or her disability.
 The Chair of the Trustees shall also have the power to appoint
one or more persons to perform the duties of the Chair of the
Trustees in the event of his or her absence at any meeting.

      3.6  President.  Unless the Trustees otherwise provide by
vote or otherwise, the President shall be the principal
executive officer of the Trust.

      3.7  Treasurer.  Unless the Trustees otherwise provide by
vote or otherwise, the Treasurer shall be the principal
financial and accounting officer of the Trust, and shall,
subject to the provisions of the Declaration of Trust and to any
arrangement made by the Trustees with a custodian, investment
adviser, subadviser or manager, or transfer, Shareholder
servicing or similar agent, be in charge of the valuable papers,
books of account and accounting records of the Trust, and shall
have such other duties and powers as may be designated from time
to time by the Trustees or by the principal executive officer of
the Trust.

      3.8  Clerk.  The Clerk shall record all proceedings of the
Shareholders and the Trustees in books to be kept therefor,
which books or a copy thereof shall be kept at the principal
office of the Trust.  In the absence of the Clerk from any
meeting of the Shareholders or Trustees (or a Committee
thereof), an Assistant Clerk, or if there be none or if he or
she is absent, a temporary Clerk chosen at such meeting by the
chair of such meeting, shall record the proceedings thereof in
the aforesaid books.

      3.9  Resignations and Removals.  Any Trustee or officer may
resign at any time by written instrument signed by him or her
and delivered to the Chair of the Trustees, the President or the
Clerk or to a meeting of the Trustees.  Such resignation shall
be effective upon receipt unless specified to be effective at
some other time.  The Trustees may remove any officer elected or
appointed by them with or without cause.  Except to the extent
expressly provided in a written agreement with the Trust, no
Trustee or officer resigning and no officer removed shall have
any right to any compensation for any period following his or
her resignation or removal, or any right to damages on account
of such removal.

ARTICLE 4
Committees

      4.1  Quorum; Voting.  Except as provided below or as
otherwise specifically provided in the votes or charter
constituting a Committee of the Trustees and providing for the
conduct of its meetings, a majority of the members of any
Committee of the Trustees shall constitute a quorum for the
transaction of business (which quorum once validly established
cannot be broken by Trustees withdrawing from the meeting), and
any action of such a Committee may be taken by a vote of a
majority of the members of such Committee (a) present at a
meeting of such Committee (a quorum being present), including
any meeting held by means of a conference telephone or other
communications equipment by means of which all persons
participating in the meeting can hear each other at the same
time (participation by such means shall constitute presence in
person at a meeting), or (b) evidenced by one or more written
consents, including written consents submitted by mail, courier,
e-mail, facsimile or other electronic means.  Copies of such
written consents shall be filed with the minutes of the
proceedings of such Committee.  Such consents shall be treated
for all purposes as a vote taken at a meeting of such Committee.
 If in accordance with the provisions of the Declaration of
Trust and these Bylaws any action is taken by written consents
of less than all of the Committees members, then prompt notice
of any such action shall be furnished to each member who did not
execute such written consent, provided that the effectiveness of
such action shall not be impaired by any delay or failure to
furnish such notice.  In the absence of any member of any such
Committee, the members thereof present at any properly called
meeting, whether or not they constitute a quorum, may appoint a
member of the Trustees to act at that meeting only in the place
of any absent member.

	Except as specifically provided in the votes constituting a
Committee of the Trustees and providing for the conduct of its
meetings, Section 2.3 of these Bylaws relating to special
meetings shall govern the notice requirements for Committee
meetings.

	4.2  Authority of Trustees.  The Trustees have the power to
rescind any action of any Committee, but no such rescission
shall have retroactive effect unless determined so by the
Trustees.

ARTICLE 5
Reports

      5.1  General.  The Trustees and officers shall render
reports at the time and in the manner required by the
Declaration of Trust or any applicable law.  Officers and
Committees shall render such additional reports as they may deem
desirable or as may from time to time be required by the
Trustees.

ARTICLE 6
Fiscal Year

      6.1  General.  Except as from time to time otherwise
provided by the Trustees, the initial fiscal year of the Trust
shall end on such date as is determined in advance or in arrears
by the Treasurer, and subsequent fiscal years shall end on such
date in subsequent years.

ARTICLE 7
Seal

      7.1  General.  The seal of the Trust, if any, shall consist
of a flat-faced die with the word Massachusetts, together with
the name of the Trust and the year of its organization cut or
engraved thereon but, unless otherwise required by the Trustees,
the seal need not be placed on, and its absence shall not impair
the validity of, any document, instrument or other paper
executed and delivered by or on behalf of the Trust.

ARTICLE 8
Execution of Papers

      8.1  General.  Except as the Trustees may generally or in
particular cases authorize the execution thereof in some other
manner, all deeds, leases, contracts, notes and other
obligations made, accepted or endorsed by the Trust shall be
signed by the President, a Vice President or the Treasurer, and
need not bear the seal of the Trust.

ARTICLE 9
Issuance of Shares and Share Certificates

      9.1  Sale of Shares.  Except as otherwise determined by the
Trustees, the Trust will issue and sell for cash or securities
from time to time full and fractional Shares, such Shares to be
issued and sold at a price of not less than the par value per
share, if any, and not less than the net asset value per share
as from time to time determined in accordance with procedures
adopted by the Trustees and, in the case of fractional Shares,
at a proportionate reduction in such price.  In the case of
Shares sold for securities, such securities shall be valued in
accordance with procedures approved by the Trustees for
determining the value of the assets of the Trust.  The officers
of the Trust are severally authorized to take all such actions
as may be necessary or desirable to carry out this Section 9.1.

      9.2  Share Certificates.  In lieu of issuing certificates
for Shares, the Trustees or the transfer agent may either issue
receipts therefor or may keep accounts upon the books of the
Trust for the record holders of such Shares, who shall in either
case be deemed, for all purposes hereunder, to be the holders of
certificates for such Shares as if they had accepted such
certificates and shall be held to have expressly assented and
agreed to the terms hereof.

      The Trustees may at any time authorize the issuance of
Share certificates.  In that event, each Shareholder shall be
entitled to a certificate stating the number of Shares owned by
him or her, in such form as shall be prescribed from time to
time by the Trustees.  Such certificate shall be signed by the
President or a Vice President and by the Treasurer or an
Assistant Treasurer.  Such signatures may be facsimile if the
certificate is signed by a transfer agent or by a registrar.  In
case any officer who has signed or whose facsimile signature has
been placed on such certificate shall cease to be such officer
before such certificate is issued, it may be issued by the Trust
with the same effect as if he or she were such officer at the
time of its issue.

      9.3  Loss of Certificates.  The transfer agent of the
Trust, with the approval of any two officers of the Trust, is
authorized to issue and countersign replacement certificates for
the Shares of the Trust which have been lost, stolen or
destroyed upon (i) receipt of an affidavit or affidavits of loss
or non-receipt and of an indemnity agreement executed by the
registered holder or his or her legal representative and
supported by an open penalty surety bond, said agreement and
said bond in all cases to be in form and content satisfactory to
and approved by the President or the Treasurer, or (ii) receipt
of such other documents as may be approved by the Trustees.

      9.4  Issuance of New Certificate to Pledgee.  A pledgee of
Shares transferred as collateral security shall be entitled to a
new certificate if the instrument of transfer substantially
describes the debt or duty that is intended to be secured
thereby.  Such new certificate shall express on its face that it
is held as collateral security, and the name of the pledgor
shall be stated thereon, who alone shall be liable as a
Shareholder and entitled to vote thereon.

      9.5  Discontinuance of Issuance of Certificates.  The
Trustees may at any time discontinue the issuance of Share
certificates and may, by written notice to each Shareholder whom
the Trust believes to hold a Share certificate, require the
surrender of Share certificates to the Trust for cancellation.
Such surrender and cancellation shall not affect the ownership
of Shares in the Trust.

ARTICLE 10
Shareholders

      10.1  Annual Meeting.  The annual meeting of the
Shareholders of the Trust shall be held on the last Friday in
April in each year or on such other day as may be fixed by the
Trustees.  The meeting shall be held at such time as the
Trustees may fix in the notice of the meeting or otherwise.
Purposes for which an annual meeting is to be held, additional
to those prescribed by law or these Bylaws, may be specified by
the Trustees.  Any previously scheduled annual meeting of
Shareholders may be postponed or cancelled by the Trustees upon
public notice given prior to the time previously scheduled for
such meeting, in accordance with these Bylaws.

      10.2  Adjournment.  Any meeting of Shareholders may, by
action of the chair of the meeting, be adjourned from time to
time without notice other than announcement at the meeting at
which the adjournment is taken with respect to one or more
matters to be considered at such meeting to a designated date
which may be more than 120 days after the date initially set for
the meeting, time and place, whether or not a quorum is present
with respect to such matter.  Upon motion of the chair of the
meeting, the question of adjournment may be (but is not required
by these Bylaws to be) submitted to a vote of the Shareholders,
and in that case, any adjournment with respect to one or more
matters must be approved by the vote of holders of a majority of
the Shares present and entitled to vote with respect to the
matter or matters adjourned and, if approved, such adjournment
shall take place without further notice other than announcement
at the meeting at which the adjournment is taken.  Unless a
proxy is otherwise limited in this regard, any Shares present
and entitled to vote at a meeting, including any Shares that are
represented by broker non-votes, may, at the discretion of the
proxies named therein, be voted in favor of such an adjournment.
 Any proposal for which sufficient favorable votes have been
received may (but need not) be acted upon and considered final
and effective regardless of whether the meeting is adjourned to
permit additional solicitation with respect to any other
proposal that is properly before the meeting.

      10.3  Conduct of Meetings. Meetings of the Shareholders
shall be presided over by the Chair of the Trustees, or, if the
Chair is not present at the meeting, then by a Trustee or
officer designated by the Chair or authorized by the Trustees,
or if there is no such person present at the meeting, then by
any officer of the Trust present at the meeting, and such person
shall be deemed for all purposes the chair of the meeting.  The
chair of the meeting shall have the right and authority to
prescribe such rules, regulations and procedures and to do all
such acts as, in the judgment of such chair, are necessary,
appropriate or convenient for the proper conduct of the meeting,
including, without limitation, establishing: an agenda or order
of business for the meeting; rules and procedures for
maintaining order at the meeting and the safety of those
present; conditions on the recording of the meeting; limitations
on participation in such meeting to Shareholders of record of
the Trust and their duly authorized and constituted proxies, and
such other persons as the chair shall permit; restrictions on
entry to the meeting after the time fixed for the commencement
thereof; limitations on the time allotted to questions or
comments by participants; conditions for the removal of any
Shareholder or any other person who refuses to comply with
meeting procedures, rules or guidelines as set forth by the
chair of the meeting; and regulations for the opening and
closing of the polls for balloting on matters which are to be
voted on by ballot.  With the exception of proposals submitted
in accordance with, and otherwise meeting the requirements of,
Rule 14a-8 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as
amended, or any successor provisions, only matters proposed by
the Trustees may be included in the Trusts proxy materials.  At
all meetings of Shareholders, unless voting is conducted by
inspectors, all questions relating to the qualification of
voters and the validity of proxies and the acceptance or
rejection of votes shall be decided by the chair of the meeting.
 The chair of the meeting shall determine, in the chairs sole
discretion, whether to appoint an inspector for any meeting.
Unless otherwise determined by the chair of the meeting,
meetings shall not be required to be held in accordance with any
rules of parliamentary procedure.

      10.4  Record Dates.  For the purpose of determining the
Shareholders of any class or series of Shares of the Trust who
are entitled to vote or act at any meeting or any adjournment
thereof, or who are entitled to receive payment of any dividend
or of any other distribution, the Trustees (or their designees)
may from time to time fix a time, which shall be not more than
90 days before the date of any meeting of Shareholders or more
than 60 days before the date of payment of any dividend or of
any other distribution, as the record date for determining the
Shareholders of such class or series having the right to notice
of and to vote at such meeting and any adjournment thereof or
the right to receive such dividend or distribution, and in such
case only Shareholders of record on such record date shall have
such right notwithstanding any transfer of Shares on the books
of the Trust after the record date; or without fixing such
record date the Trustees may for any such purposes close the
register or transfer books for all or part of such period.

      10.5 Communications with Shareholders.  Any notices,
reports, statements or other communications with Shareholders of
any kind required under the Declaration of Trust, these Bylaws
or applicable law may be sent, delivered or made available in
any reasonable manner as may be determined by the Trustees or
officers if not otherwise prohibited by applicable law,
including, without limitation, by mail, courier, e-mail,
facsimile or other electronic means or by posting on a website;
and such communications may be sent, delivered or otherwise made
available to Shareholders in accordance with householding or
other similar rules under which a single copy of such notice or
report may be sent to Shareholders who reside at the same
address.  No communication need be given to any Shareholder who
shall have failed to inform the Trust of the Shareholders
current address and the Trustees may from time to time adopt, or
may authorize the officers or agents of the Trust to adopt,
procedures or policies with respect to communications to
Shareholders that are returned to the Trust or its agents as
undeliverable and similar matters.  Any Shareholder may waive

proxy pursuant to telephone or electronically transmitted
instructions (including instructions submitted via the Internet)
obtained pursuant to procedures reasonably designed to verify
that such instructions have been authorized by such Shareholder
shall constitute execution of such proxy by or on behalf of such

ARTICLE 12

      12.1  Advance Notice of Shareholder Nominations of Trustees

and brought before any meeting of Shareholders shall be limited
to only such matters, including the nomination and election of
Trustees, as shall be brought properly before such meeting in
compliance with the procedures set forth in this Section 12.1.
Only persons who are nominated in accordance with the following
procedures, other than persons nominated by the Board of
Trustees, shall be eligible for election as Trustees, and no

prior to such meeting in accordance with this Article
12, and who complies with the notice procedures set
forth in subparagraph (2) of this paragraph (a) of
this Section 12.1 and the other requirements of this
Article 12.  If the Shareholder ceases to be a holder
of record of Shares, or if the beneficial owner ceases
to be the beneficial owner of Shares to the extent the
record owner and beneficial owner are not the same
person, entitled to vote at such meeting on the
nomination or proposal for which the Shareholder has
provided notice prior to such meeting in accordance
with this Article 12, the Shareholders proposal shall
automatically be withdrawn from consideration at the

      (2)  For such matter to be properly brought before
a meeting by a Shareholder pursuant to clause (iii) of
subparagraph (1) of paragraph (a) of this Section
12.1, the Shareholder must have given timely notice

(each, an Annual Meeting) shall be delivered to the
Clerk at the principal executive offices of the Trust
not less than sixty (60) nor more than ninety (90)
days prior to the anniversary date of the immediately
preceding Annual Meeting; provided, however, if and
only if the Annual Meeting is not scheduled to be held
on a date that is within thirty (30) days before or
after such anniversary date, notice by the Shareholder
in order to be timely must be so received no later
than the close of business on the tenth (10th) day
following the earlier of the date on which notice of
the date of the annual meeting was first mailed to
Shareholders and the date on which the date of the
Annual Meeting was publicly announced or disclosed.
      (2)  Special Meeting (Other than Special Meeting in
Lieu of Annual Meeting).  To be timely, a Shareholders
notice required by subparagraph (2) of paragraph (a)
of this Section 12.1 in respect of a special meeting
shall be delivered to the Clerk at the principal

the earlier of the date on which notice of the date of
the special meeting was first mailed to Shareholders
and the date on which the date of the special meeting
was publicly announced or disclosed.
      (3)  General.  In no event shall one or more
adjournments or postponements (or public announcements
thereof) of a meeting of Shareholders commence a new
time period (or extend any time period) for the giving
of a Shareholders notice as described in this
paragraph (b) of this Section 12.1.
      (4)  Publicly Announced or Disclosed.  For purposes
of this Section 12.1, a matter shall be deemed to have
been publicly announced or disclosed if such matter is
disclosed in a press release reported by the Dow Jones
News Service, Associated Press or comparable national
news service, in a document publicly filed by the
Trust with the Securities Exchange Commission, or on a
website accessible to the public maintained by the
Trust or its investment adviser or an affiliate of
such investment adviser with respect to the Trust.
      (c)  Content of Shareholders Notice.
      (1)  Shareholder Nominations and Proposals to Fix
the Number of Trustees.  Any Shareholder desiring to
nominate any person or persons (as the case may be)
for election as a Trustee or Trustees of the Trust
shall set forth in the Shareholders notice required by
this Section 12.1 as to each person, if any, whom the
Shareholder proposes to nominate for election or re-
election as a Trustee (i) the persons name, age, date

the number of Trustees (which shall be subject to the
provisions of subparagraph (1) of paragraph (c) of
this Section 12.1) shall set forth in the Shareholders
notice required by this Section 12.1 (i) the exact
text of the proposal to be presented; (ii) a brief
written statement of the reasons why such Shareholder
favors the proposal; and (iii) a brief written

Shareholders.
      (3)  General Requirements.  Without limiting the

for Trustees) as required by this Section 12.1 shall
set forth in such Shareholders notice, (i) the name
and address of the Shareholder, as it appears on the
Trusts books; (ii) the class or series and number of
all Shares owned beneficially and of record by the
Shareholder (or by each of the record owner and
beneficial owner if not the same person, identifying

interest of such Shareholder in the matter proposed
(other than as a Shareholder); (iv) if the proposal

the case of a beneficial owner, evidence establishing
such beneficial owners indirect ownership of, and
entitlement to vote, Shares at the meeting of
Shareholders. As used in this Section 12.1, Shares
beneficially owned shall mean all Shares which such
person is deemed to beneficially own pursuant to Rules
13d-3 and 13d-5 under the Exchange Act.  The

PUTNAM FUNDS
SUB-MANAGEMENT CONTRACT
      This Sub-Management Contract is dated as of February 27, 2014
between PUTNAM INVESTMENT MANAGEMENT, LLC, a Delaware limited
liability company (the Manager) and PUTNAM INVESTMENTS LIMITED, a
company organized under the laws of England and Wales (the Sub-
Manager).
      WHEREAS, the Manager is the investment manager of each of the
investment companies registered under the United States Investment
Company Act of 1940, as amended, that are identified on Schedule A
hereto, as it may from time to time be amended by the Manager (the
Funds), and a registered investment adviser under the United
States Investment Advisers Act of 1940, as amended;
      WHEREAS, the Sub-Manager is licensed as an investment manager
by the Financial Conduct Authority of the United Kingdom (the
FCA); and
      WHEREAS, the Manager desires to engage the Sub-Manager from
time to time to manage a portion of certain of the Funds:
      NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants
herein contained, it is agreed as follows:
1.	SERVICES TO BE RENDERED BY SUB-MANAGER.
      (a)	The Sub-Manager, at its expense, will furnish
continuously an investment program for that portion of any Fund
the management of which is allocated from time to time by the
Manager to the Sub-Manager (an Allocated Sleeve). The Manager
shall, in its sole discretion, determine which Funds will have an
Allocated Sleeve and the amount of assets allocated from time to
time to each such Allocated Sleeve; provided that, with respect to
any Fund, the Trustees of such Fund must have approved the use of
the Sub-Manager prior to the creation of an Allocated Sleeve for
such Fund. The Sub-Manager will determine what investments shall
be purchased, held, sold or exchanged by any Allocated Sleeve and
what portion, if any, of the assets of the Allocated Sleeve shall
be held uninvested and shall, on behalf of the Fund, make changes
in the Funds investments held in such Allocated Sleeve.
      (b)	The Manager may also, at its discretion, request the
Sub-Manager to provide assistance with purchasing and selling
securities for any Fund, including the placement of orders with
broker-dealers selected in accordance with Section 1(d), even if
the Manager has not established an Allocated Sleeve for such Fund.
      (c)	The Sub-Manager at its expense will furnish all
necessary investment and management facilities, including salaries
of personnel, required for it to execute its duties faithfully.
      (d)	The Sub-Manager shall place all orders for the purchase
and sale of portfolio investments for any Allocated Sleeve with
brokers or dealers selected by the Sub-Manager. In the selection
of such brokers or dealers and the placing of such orders, the
Sub-Manager shall use its best efforts to obtain for the related
Fund the most favorable price and execution available, except to
the extent it may be permitted to pay higher brokerage commissions
for brokerage and research services as described below. In using
its best efforts to obtain for the Fund the most favorable price
and execution available, the Sub-Manager, bearing in mind the
Funds best interests at all times, shall consider all factors it
deems relevant, including by way of illustration, price, the size
of the transaction, the nature of the market for the security, the
amount of the commission, the timing of the transaction taking
into account market prices and trends, the reputation, experience
and financial stability of the broker or dealer involved and the
quality of service rendered by the broker or dealer in other
transactions. Subject to such policies as the Trustees of the
Funds may determine, the Sub-Manager shall not be deemed to have
acted unlawfully or to have breached any duty created by this
Contract or otherwise solely by reason of its having caused a Fund
to pay a broker or dealer that provides brokerage and research
services to the Manager or the Sub-Manager an amount of commission
for effecting a portfolio investment transaction in excess of the
amount of commission another broker or dealer would have charged
for effecting that transaction, if the Sub-Manager determines in
good faith that such amount of commission was reasonable in
relation to the value of the brokerage and research services
provided by such broker or dealer, viewed in terms of either that
particular transaction or its overall responsibilities with
respect to the Fund and to other clients of the Manager or the
Sub-Manager as to which the Manager or the Sub-Manager exercises
investment discretion. The Sub-Manager agrees that in connection
with purchases or sales of portfolio investments for any Fund,
neither the Sub-Manager nor any officer, director, employee or
agent of the Sub-Manager shall act as a principal or receive any
commission other than as provided in Section 3.
      (e)	The Sub-Manager shall not be obligated to pay any
expenses of or for the Manager or any Fund not expressly assumed
by the Sub-Manager pursuant to this Section 1.
      (f)	In the performance of its duties, the Sub-Manager will
comply with the provisions of the Agreement and Declaration of
Trust and By-Laws of each applicable Fund and such Funds stated
investment objectives, policies and restrictions, and will use its
best efforts to safeguard and promote the welfare of such Fund and
to comply with other policies which the Manager or the Trustees
may from time to time determine and shall exercise the same care
and diligence expected of the Manager.
2.	OTHER AGREEMENTS, ETC.
      It is understood that any of the shareholders, Trustees,
officers and employees of a Fund may be a shareholder, director,
officer or employee of, or be otherwise interested in, the Sub-
Manager, and in any person controlled by or under common control
with the Sub-Manager, and that the Sub-Manager and any person
controlled by or under common control with the Sub-Manager may
have an interest in such Fund. It is also understood that the Sub-
Manager and any person controlled by or under common control with
the Sub-Manager have and may have advisory, management, service or
other contracts with other organizations and persons, and may have
other interests and business.
3.	COMPENSATION.
      Except as provided below, the Manager will pay to the Sub-
Manager as compensation for the Sub-Managers services rendered, a
fee, computed and paid quarterly at the annual rate of 0.35% per
annum of average aggregate net asset value of the assets in equity
and asset allocation Allocated Sleeves and 0.40% per annum of
average aggregate net asset value of the assets in fixed income
Allocated Sleeves, except for fixed income Allocated Sleeves in
certain fixed income Funds enumerated as follows (with the per
annum fee provided in parentheses): Putnam Money Market Liquidity
Fund (0.20%), Putnam Short Term Investment Fund (0.20%), Putnam
Money Market Fund (0.25%), Putnam Tax Exempt Money Market Fund
(0.25%), Putnam VT Money Market Fund (0.25%), Putnam Short
Duration Income Fund (0.25%), Putnam Short-Term Municipal Income
Fund (0.25%), Putnam American Government Income Fund (0.25%),
Putnam Income Fund (0.25%), Putnam U.S. Government Income Trust
(0.25%), Putnam VT American Government Income Fund (0.25%), and
Putnam VT Income Fund (0.25%).
      Such average net asset value shall be determined by taking an
average of all of the determinations of such net asset value
during a quarter at the close of business on each business day
during such quarter while this Contract is in effect. Such fee
shall be payable for each quarter within 30 days after the close
of such quarter. The Sub-Manager shall look only to the Manager
for payment of its fees. No Fund shall have any responsibility for
paying any fees due the Sub-Manager.
      With respect to each of Putnam High Income Securities Fund,
Putnam Master Intermediate Income Trust and Putnam Premier Income
Trust, the Manager will pay to the Sub-Manager as compensation for
the Sub-Managers services rendered, a fee, computed and paid
quarterly at the annual rate of 0.40% of Average Weekly Assets in
Allocated Sleeves. Average Weekly Assets means the average of the
weekly determinations of the difference between the total assets
of the Fund (including any assets attributable to leverage for
investment purposes) attributable to an Allocated Sleeve and the
total liabilities of the Fund (excluding liabilities incurred in
connection with leverage for investment purposes) attributable to
such Allocated Sleeve, determined at the close of the last
business day of each week, for each week which ends during the
quarter. Such fee shall be payable for each quarter within 30 days
after the close of such quarter. As used in this Section 3,
leverage for investment purposes means any incurrence of
indebtedness the proceeds of which are to be invested in
accordance with the Funds investment objective. For purposes of
calculating Average Weekly Assets, liabilities associated with any
instruments or transactions used to leverage the Funds portfolio
for investment purposes (whether or not such instruments or
transactions are covered within the meaning of the Investment
Company Act of 1940 and the rules and regulations thereunder,
giving effect to any interpretations of the Securities and
Exchange Commission and its staff) are not considered liabilities.
For purposes of calculating Average Weekly Assets, the total
assets of the Fund will be deemed to include (a) any proceeds from
the sale or transfer of an asset (the Underlying Asset) of the
Fund to a counterparty in a reverse repurchase or dollar roll
transaction and (b) the value of such Underlying Asset as of the
relevant measuring date.
      In the event that the Managers management fee from any of
Putnam High Income Securities Fund, Putnam Master Intermediate
Income Trust or Putnam Premier Income Trust is reduced pursuant to
the investment management contract between such Fund and the
Manager because during any Measurement Period (as defined below)
the amount of interest payments and fees with respect to
indebtedness or other obligation of the Fund incurred for
investment leverage purposes, plus additional expenses
attributable to any such leverage for investment purposes, exceeds
the portion of the Funds net income and net short-term capital
gains (but not long-term capital gains) accruing during such
Measurement Period as a result of the fact that such indebtedness
or other obligation was outstanding during the Measurement Period,
the fee payable to  the Sub-Manager with respect to such Fund
shall be reduced in the same proportion as the fee paid to the
Manager with respect to such Fund is so reduced. Measurement
Period shall be any period for which payments of interest or fees
(whether designated as such or implied) are payable in connection
with any indebtedness or other obligation of the Fund incurred for
investment purposes.
      If the Sub-Manager shall serve for less than the whole of a
quarter, the foregoing compensation shall be prorated.
4.	ASSIGNMENT TERMINATES THIS CONTRACT; AMENDMENTS OF THIS
CONTRACT.
      This Contract shall automatically terminate without the
payment of any penalty, in the event of its assignment; and this
Contract shall not be amended with respect to any Allocated Sleeve
unless such amendment be approved at a meeting by the vote, cast
in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval, of a majority of the Trustees of the related Fund who
are not interested persons of such Fund or of the Manager.
5.	EFFECTIVE PERIOD AND TERMINATION OF THIS CONTRACT.
      This Contract shall become effective upon its execution, and
shall remain in full force and effect continuously thereafter
(unless terminated automatically as set forth in Section 4) until
terminated as follows:
      (a)	Either party hereto or, with respect to any Allocated
Sleeve, the related Fund may at any time terminate this Contract
by not more than sixty days nor less than thirty days written
notice delivered or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, to
the other party, or
      (b)	With respect to any Allocated Sleeve, if (i) the
Trustees of the related Fund or the shareholders by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of such
Fund, and (ii) a majority of the Trustees of such Fund who are not
interested persons of such Fund or of the Manager, by vote cast in
person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such
approval, do not specifically approve at least annually the
continuance of this Contract, then this Contract shall
automatically terminate at the close of business on the
anniversary of its execution, or upon the expiration of one year
from the effective date of the last such continuance, whichever is
later, or
      (c)	With respect to any Allocated Sleeve, automatically upon
termination of the Managers investment management contract with
the related Fund.
      Action by a Fund under (a) above may be taken either (i) by
vote of a majority of its Trustees, or (ii) by the affirmative
vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of such Fund.
      Termination of this Contract pursuant to this Section 5 will
be without the payment of any penalty.
6.	CERTAIN DEFINITIONS.
      For the purposes of this Contract, the affirmative vote of a
majority of the outstanding shares of a Fund means the affirmative
vote, at a duly called and held meeting of shareholders of such
Fund, (a) of the holders of 67% or more of the shares of such Fund
present (in person or by proxy) and entitled to vote at such
meeting, if the holders of more than 50% of the outstanding shares
of such Fund entitled to vote at such meeting are present in
person or by proxy, or (b) of the holders of more than 50% of the
outstanding shares of such Fund entitled to vote at such meeting,
whichever is less.
      For the purposes of this Contract, the terms affiliated
person, control, interested person and assignment shall have their
respective meanings defined in the United States Investment
Company Act of 1940 and the Rules and Regulations thereunder (the
1940 Act), subject, however, to such exemptions as may be granted
by the Securities and Exchange Commission under said Act; the term
specifically approve at least annually shall be construed in a
manner consistent with the 1940 Act, and the Rules and Regulations
thereunder; and the term brokerage and research services shall
have the meaning given in the United States Securities Exchange
Act of 1934 and the Rules and Regulations thereunder.
7.	NON-LIABILITY OF SUB-MANAGER.
      In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross
negligence on the part of the Sub-Manager, or reckless disregard
of its obligations and duties hereunder, the Sub-Manager shall not
be subject to any liability to the Manager, any Fund or to any
shareholder of any Fund, for any act or omission in the course of,
or connected with, rendering services hereunder.
8.	ADDITIONAL PROVISIONS.
      (a)	The Sub-Manager represents that it is regulated by the
FCA in the conduct of its investment business. The Sub-Manager has
in operation a written procedure in accordance with FCA rules for
the effective consideration and proper handling of complaints from

rights to compensation in the event of the Sub-Managers inability
to meet its liabilities.
      (b)	The Manager represents that it and each Fund are
Professional Customers in the meaning of the FCAs rules.
