         specifically set forth herein, PFPC assumes no responsibility for such compliance by the Fund.
5.       Instructions.
         ------------
         (a)      Unless  otherwise  provided  in this  Agreement,  PFPC shall act only upon Oral  Instructions  or
                  Written Instructions.
         (b)      PFPC shall be  entitled  to rely upon any Oral  Instruction  or Written  Instruction  it receives
                  from an  Authorized  Person (or from a person  reasonably  believed  by PFPC to be an  Authorized
                  Person)  pursuant  to this  Agreement.  PFPC may  assume  that any Oral  Instruction  or  Written
                  Instruction   received  hereunder  is  not  in  any  way  inconsistent  with  the  provisions  of
                  Organizational  Documents  or this  Agreement or of any vote,  resolution  or  proceeding  of the
                  Board, unless and until PFPC receives Written Instructions to the contrary.
         (c)      The Fund agrees to forward to PFPC Written  Instructions  confirming  Oral  Instructions  (except

                  Instructions  are not  received  by PFPC or  differ  from the Oral  Instructions  shall in no way
                  invalidate  the  transactions  or  enforceability  of the  transactions  authorized  by the  Oral
                  Instructions or PFPC's ability to rely upon such Oral Instructions.
6.       Right to Receive Advice.
         -----------------------
         (a)      Advice of the Fund.  If PFPC is in doubt as to any  action  it  should or should  not take,  PFPC
                  ------------------

                  Fund.

                  Instructions  or Written  Instructions  PFPC  receives from the Fund and the advice PFPC receives

                  believes,  in good faith, to be consistent with those directions or advice and Oral  Instructions
                  or  Written  Instructions.  Nothing  in this  section  shall  be  construed  so as to  impose  an
                  obligation  upon PFPC (i) to seek such  directions  or advice  or Oral  Instructions  or  Written
                  Instructions,  or (ii) to act in accordance with such  directions or advice or Oral  Instructions

         (b)      Notwithstanding  anything in this  Agreement  to the  contrary,  (i) PFPC shall not be liable for
                  losses, delays,  failure,  errors,  interruption or loss of data occurring directly or indirectly

                  be under any duty or  obligation  to  inquire  into and shall not be liable for the  validity  or
                  invalidity,  authority or lack  thereof,  or  truthfulness  or accuracy or lack  thereof,  of any
                  instruction,  direction,  notice,  instrument or other information which PFPC reasonably believes
                  to be genuine.
         (c)      Notwithstanding  anything in this  Agreement  (whether  contained  anywhere in Sections  15-17 or
                  otherwise)  to the  contrary,  the Fund  hereby  acknowledges  and agrees  that (i) PFPC,  in the
                  course of providing  tax-related  services or  calculating  and reporting  portfolio  performance
                  hereunder,  may rely  upon  PFPC's  interpretation  of tax  positions  or its  interpretation  of
                  relevant   circumstances  (as  determined  by  PFPC)  in  providing  such  tax  services  and  in
                  determining  methods of  calculating  portfolio  performance to be used, and that (ii) PFPC shall
                  not be liable  for  losses or damages of any kind  associated  with such  reliance  except to the
                  extent  such  loss  or  damage  is  substantially  due to  PFPC's  gross  negligence  or  willful
                  misconduct.
         (d)      Notwithstanding  anything in this  Agreement to the contrary,  without  limiting  anything in the
                  immediately  preceding  sentence,  Fund  hereby  acknowledges  and agrees  that PFPC shall not be
                  liable  for any losses or damages of any kind  associated  with any tax  filings  with which PFPC
                  has assisted in any way except to the extent such loss or damage is  substantially  due to PFPC's
                  gross negligence or willful misconduct;  provided,  however, that PFPC shall not be found to have
                  been grossly  negligent for losses or damages  associated with areas of  responsibility  that the
                  judiciary,  regulators  (or other  governmental  officials) or members of the hedge fund industry
                  determine  would  otherwise  apply to PFPC (or similar  service  providers) and which,  as of the
                  date hereof,  have yet to be  identified  by such parties as areas for which PFPC (or any similar
                  service provider) is (or would be) responsible.
          (e)     Notwithstanding  anything in this Agreement to the contrary,  (i) neither PFPC nor its affiliates
                  shall be liable for any  consequential,  special or indirect  losses or  damages,  whether or not
                  the  likelihood  of such  losses or damages was known by PFPC or its  affiliates  and (ii) PFPC's
                  cumulative  liability  to the Fund for all  losses,  claims,  suits,  controversies,  breaches or
                  damages for any cause  whatsoever  (including  but not limited to those arising out of or related
                  to this  Agreement)  and  regardless  of the form of action or legal  theory shall not exceed the
                  lesser of $100,000 or the fees  received by PFPC for services  provided  hereunder  during the 12
                  months immediately prior to the date of such loss or damage.
         (f)      No party may  assert a cause of  action  against  PFPC or any of its  affiliates  that  allegedly
                  occurred  more than 12 months  immediately  prior to the filing of the suit (or,  if  applicable,
                  commencement of arbitration proceedings) alleging such cause of action.
         (g)      Each  party  shall  have a duty to  mitigate  damages  for  which  the  other  party  may  become
                  responsible.
