5.       Instructions.

         (a)      Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, PFPC shall act only upon Oral Instructions or Written Instructions.

                  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  where such Oral
                  Instructions  are given by PFPC or its  affiliates)  so that PFPC  receives the Written  Instructions  as promptly as
                  practicable  and in any event by the close of  business on the day after such Oral  Instructions  are  received.  The
                  fact that such confirming  Written  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 may request  directions

         (b)      Advice of Counsel.  If PFPC shall be in doubt as to any question of law  pertaining to any action it should or should
                  -----------------
                  not take,  PFPC may request  advice from  counsel of its own  choosing  (who may be counsel for the Fund,  the Fund's
                  investment adviser or PFPC, at the option of PFPC).
         (c)      Conflicting  Advice.  In the  event of a  conflict  between  directions  or advice or Oral  Instructions  or  Written
                  -------------------

                  the advice of counsel.
         (d)      Protection of PFPC.  PFPC shall be protected and  indemnified  by the Fund in any action it takes or does not take in

                  the Fund or from counsel and which PFPC 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 or Written Instructions.

         action  asserted  against the  receiving  party;  or (g) has been or is  independently  developed or obtained by the receiving

         to minimize  service  interruptions.  PFPC shall have no liability  with respect to the loss of data or service  interruptions
         caused by equipment failure,  provided such loss or interruption is not caused by PFPC's own willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,
         gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties or obligations under this Agreement.

                  PFPC's  failure to perform its duties under this  Agreement to the extent such  damages  arise out of PFPC's  willful
                  misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of such duties.
         (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 by reason of circumstances beyond its
                  reasonable  control,  including  without  limitation acts of God; action or inaction of civil or military  authority;
                  public enemy; war; terrorism; riot; fire; flood; sabotage; epidemics; labor disputes; civil commotion;  interruption,

                  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.
