In the event a Fund utilizes the BNYM-AIS Anti-Money Laundering services described herein, BNYM-AIS will maintain records relating to this service as follows: (i) the shorter of (a) at least five (5) years from the date the Subscriber liquidates its investment in the Fund, or (b) such time as the Fund converts to a successor administrator with a corresponding transfer of such records by BNYM-AIS; or (ii) in the case of a liquidation of the Fund, the shorter of (a) for at least five (5) years from the date a Fund liquidates or (b) until such records are transferred by BNYM-AIS to the Funds’ appointed liquidator or another designated Fund agent.

(f)            The Funds shall furnish BNYM-AIS with any and all Instructions, explanations, information, specifications and documentation reasonably deemed necessary by BNYM-AIS in the performance of its duties hereunder, including the amounts or written formula for calculating the amounts and times of accrual of the Funds’ liabilities and expenses.  BNYM-AIS shall not be required to include as the Funds’ liabilities and expenses, nor as a reduction of Net Assets, any accrual for any income taxes unless the Funds shall have specified to BNYM-AIS the precise amount of the same to be included in liabilities and expenses or used to reduce Net Assets.  BNYM-AIS shall endeavor to determine the value of securities owned by the Funds in the manner described in the Offering Materials.  At any time and from time to time, the Funds may, if consistent with and to the extent permitted by the Offering Materials, furnish BNYM-AIS with bid, offer, or market values of securities and instruct BNYM-AIS to use such information in its calculations hereunder.  BNYM-AIS shall at no time be required or obligated to commence or maintain either any utilization of, or subscriptions to, any securities pricing or similar service or any arrangements with any brokers, dealers or market makers or specialists described in the Offering Materials.

(g)           In the event BNYM-AIS’s computations hereunder rely, in whole or in part, upon information, including (i) bid, offer or market values of securities or other assets, or accruals of interest or earnings thereon, from a pricing or similar service utilized, or subscribed to, by BNYM-AIS which BNYM-AIS in its judgment deems reliable, or (ii) prices or values supplied by the Fund or by brokers, dealers, market makers, or specialists described in the Offering Materials, BNYM-AIS shall not be responsible for, under any duty to inquire into, or deemed to make any assurances with respect to, the accuracy or completeness of such information.  BNYM-AIS shall not be required to inquire into any valuation of securities or other assets by the Funds or any third party described above, even though BNYM-AIS in performing services similar to the services provided pursuant to this Agreement for others may receive different valuations of the same or different securities of the same issuers.  BNYM-AIS, in performing the services required of it under the terms of this Agreement, shall not be responsible for determining whether any interest accruable to the Funds is or will be actually paid, but will accrue such interest until otherwise instructed by the Funds.

(h)           The method of valuation of securities and the method of computing the Net Assets shall be as set forth in the then currently effective Offering Materials of the Funds.  To the extent the description of the valuation methodology of securities or computation of Net Assets as specified in the Funds’ then currently effective Offering Materials is at any time inconsistent with any applicable laws or regulations, the Funds shall immediately so notify BNYM-AIS in writing and thereafter shall either furnish BNYM-AIS at all appropriate times with the values of such securities and Net Assets, or subject to the prior approval of BNYM-AIS, instruct BNYM-AIS in writing as to the appropriate valuation methodology to be employed by BNYM-AIS to compute Net Assets in a manner that the Funds then represent in writing to be consistent with all applicable laws and regulations.  The Funds may also from time to time, subject to the prior approval of BNYM-AIS, instruct BNYM-AIS in writing to compute the value of the securities or Net Assets in a manner other than as specified in this Agreement.  By giving such instruction, the Funds shall be deemed to have represented that such instruction is consistent with all applicable laws and regulations and the then currently effective Offering Materials.

(i)            BNYM-AIS, in performing the services required of it under the terms of this Agreement, shall be entitled to rely fully on the accuracy and validity of any and all Instructions, explanations, information, specifications and documentation furnished to it on behalf of the Funds and shall have no duty or obligation to review the accuracy, validity or propriety of such Instructions, explanations, information, specifications or documentation, including the amounts or formula for calculating the amounts and times of accrual liabilities and expenses; and the amounts receivable and the amounts payable on the sale or purchase of securities.

6

(j)            BNYM-AIS may apply to an Authorized Person of the Funds for Instructions with respect to any matter arising in connection with BNYM-AIS’s performance hereunder, and BNYM-AIS shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith in accordance with such Instructions.  Such application for Instructions may, at the option of BNYM-AIS, set forth in writing any action proposed to be taken or omitted to be taken by BNYM-AIS with respect to its duties or obligations under this Agreement and the date (the “Action Date”) on and/or after which such action shall be taken.  BNYM-AIS shall provide the Authorized Person with commercially reasonable time to respond to the application before the Action Date occurs.  BNYM-AIS shall not be liable for any action taken or omitted to be taken by it in good faith without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith in accordance with a proposal included in any such application on or after the Action Date specified therein unless, prior to such Action Date for taking or omitting to take any such action, BNYM-AIS has received Instructions from an Authorized Person in response to such application specifying the action to be taken or omitted.

(k)           BNYM-AIS may consult with internal counsel to the Funds or its own counsel, at the Funds’ expense, provided that BNYM-AIS has provided prior notification to the Fund that it is consulting its own counsel and has provided the Fund an estimate of expenses related to such consultation.  BNYM-AIS shall be fully protected with respect to anything done or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with the advice or opinion of its own counsel.

(l)            BNYM-AIS shall provide all of the “BNYM-AIS Anti Money Laundering Services” described in Schedule I with respect to Direct Subscribers and those “BNYM-AIS Anti Money Laundering Services” described in Schedule I (ii) and (iii) to all Subscribers, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the following additional terms and conditions.

(i)      BNYM-AIS does not warrant that (x) its performance of the BNYM-AIS Anti-Money Laundering Services will achieve any particular intended result, (y) that its performance will satisfy any legal obligations of the Funds, or (z) that it will detect all possible instances of money laundering or transactions involving money laundering or other unlawful activities.  BNYM-AIS MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

(ii)      The Funds shall indicate to BNYM-AIS each Subscriber that is a Direct Subscriber, provide each subscription agreement from each Subscriber to BNYM-AIS a reasonable time before accepting any initial payment from a Subscriber and shall not accept any such payment unless and until BNYM-AIS shall have completed the BNYM-AIS Anti Money Laundering Services with respect to such Subscriber.  BNYM-AIS may assume the authenticity and accuracy of any document provided by a Subscriber without verification unless in the sole discretion of BNYM-AIS the same on its face appears not to be genuine.  In the event of delay or failure by the Subscriber to produce any information required by the subscription agreement or by BNYM-AIS in providing the BNYM-AIS Anti-Money Laundering Services, BNYM-AIS may refuse to accept the subscription and the subscription monies related thereto or may refuse to allow a redemption until proper information has been provided.  The Funds shall instruct BNYM-AIS not to accept any payment on behalf of the Funds from a Subscriber or pay on behalf of the Funds any redemption or repurchase proceeds to a Subscriber if the Funds determine that such acceptance or payment would violate any anti-money laundering laws applicable to the Funds.  In the event any initial payment from a Subscriber is sent to an account other than an account of the Funds maintained at a BNYM Affiliate, (A) the Funds shall promptly notify BNYM-AIS of the receipt of such payment, (B) the Funds shall not invest such payment until BNYM-AIS has completed the BNYM-AIS Anti-Money Laundering Services with respect to such Subscriber, and (C) the Funds shall

7

indemnify and hold BNYM-AIS harmless in accordance with the terms of this Agreement with respect to any such payment that is invested prior to BNYM-AIS’s completion of the BNYM-AIS Anti-Money Laundering Services and acceptance of the subscription therefore.

(iii)     BNYM-AIS shall provide prompt notice to the Funds of any potential Subscriber with respect to whom BNYM-AIS has anti money laundering concerns based on the performance of the BNYM-AIS Anti Money Laundering Services.

(iv)     BNYM-AIS is providing the BNYM-AIS Anti Money Laundering Services based on the representation and warranty of the Funds, which shall be deemed continued and repeated on each day on which BNYM-AIS provides such services, that the BNYM-AIS Anti Money Laundering Services, if provided as described herein and without any  negligence, bad faith or willful malfeasance by BNYM-AIS,  together with the activities of the Funds in accordance with its internal policies, procedures and anti money laundering controls shall together satisfy all the requirements of the laws with respect to money laundering applicable to the Funds.

(v)      Upon request, BNYM-AIS shall (i) provide to a Fund a written summary of BNYM-AIS’s anti-money laundering compliance procedures applicable to its performance of the BNYM-AIS Anti Money Laundering Services; (ii) provide to the Fund a certificate in a form acceptable to BNYM-AIS and the Fund certifying that BNYM-AIS has an adequate AML training program in place; and (iii) allow any regulators that are reviewing the Fund’s AML program and processes to also review BNYM-AIS’s AML program and processes if requested.

(vi)      In the event of any failure by BNYM-AIS to provide any of the BNYM-AIS Anti Money Laundering Services in accordance with its standard of care and not otherwise, BNYM-AIS’s liability shall be limited to the lesser of (x) the actual direct money damages suffered by the affected Fund as a direct result of such failure and (y) the amount paid by the Funds under this Agreement during the twelve (12) months immediately preceding the month in which the event giving rise to such liability occurred.  Any action brought against BNYM-AIS for claims hereunder must be brought within one year following the date on which the affected Fund becomes aware or should have become aware of such failure.

(m)          BNYM-AIS shall have no duties or responsibilities whatsoever including any custodial duties, except such duties and responsibilities as are specifically set forth in this Agreement, including Schedule I, or as are otherwise required of BNYM-AIS by laws or regulations applicable to BNYM-AIS, and no covenant or obligation shall be implied against BNYM-AIS in connection with this Agreement.  The scope of services to be provided by BNYM-AIS under this Agreement shall not be increased as a result of new or revised regulatory or other requirements that may become applicable with respect to a Fund, unless the parties hereto expressly agree in writing to any such increase which, with respect to BNYM-AIS, shall not be unreasonably withheld.

(n)           BNYM-AIS shall have no liability for any Fund or Subscriber taxes, assessments, duties and other governmental charges, including any interest or penalty with respect thereto (“Taxes”) or for any withholding or reporting of Taxes.

(o)           BNYM-AIS agrees to treat as confidential information all accounting and Subscriber information and other information related to the Funds and other business records of the Funds, including any information relating to any Fund investment, disclosed to BNYM-AIS in connection with its provision of services pursuant to the terms of this Agreement (all such information, the

(p)           BNYM-AIS will take reasonable precautions to ensure the security of Subscriber records and information, protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such records or information, and protect against unauthorized access to or use of such records or information that would result in substantial harm or inconvenience to any Subscriber and will maintain reasonable procedures to detect and respond to any internal or external security breaches.  BNYM-AIS will monitor and review its procedures periodically and revise them, as necessary, to ensure they appropriately address any reasonably foreseeable risks. BNYM-AIS agrees that the Funds may review such procedures from time to time upon its reasonable requests.

(q)           BNYM-AIS may utilize systems and/or software designed, and databases provided, by certain third parties, and shall not be liable for any loss, damage or expense that occur as a result of the failure of any such systems, software, and/or databases not caused by BNYM-AIS’s own bad faith,  negligence or willful misconduct.  In providing the services hereunder, BNYM-AIS is authorized to utilize any vendor (including pricing and valuation services) reasonably believed by BNYM-AIS to be reliable; provided, however, that with respect to pricing and valuation services, BNYM-AIS shall provide the Funds prior written notice of the names of such service providers before utilizing any such service with respect to any Fund securities to the extent reasonably practicable under the circumstances.  BNYM-AIS shall not be liable for any loss, damage or expense incurred to the extent that such loss, damage or expense is as a result of errors or omissions of any vendor utilized by BNYM-AIS hereunder, provided, that such vendor was selected with reasonable care and without negligence, willful misconduct or bad faith.  No such vendor shall be an agent or delegee of BNYM-AIS hereunder.

    (i)          if such Loss occurs twenty-four (24) months or more after the date of this Agreement, then BNYM-AIS's liability for such Loss shall not exceed the greater of the fees received by BNYM-AIS for services provided hereunder during the  twenty-four (24) months immediately prior to the date of such Loss or $750,000;

    (ii)         if such Loss occurs prior to twenty-four (24) months after the date of this Agreement, then BNYM-AIS's maximum liability for such Loss shall be determined as follows: (i) if such Loss occurs within the first nine (9) months after the effective date of the Agreement, BNYM-AIS's maximum liability for such Loss shall be calculated using the average monthly fees due to BNYM-AIS under the Agreement as of the date of such Loss multiplied by twelve (12); (ii) if such Loss occurs between nine (9) and twelve (12) months after the effective date of the Agreement, BNYM-

(ii)       Any failure by BNYM-AIS to receive any instruction (whether oral, written or by email, facsimile or other electronic transmission), record, explanation, information, specifications or documentation, including any failure to actually receive any application or other document from a Subscriber, unless such failure is directly caused by BNYM-AIS’ gross negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct with respect to its duties under this Agreement.  In this context, any application or other document from a Subscriber shall not be deemed actually received by BNYM-AIS unless and until the Subscriber has received from BNYM-AIS a confirmation of receipt in writing in the form currently in use by BNYM-AIS for those types of confirmations;

(iii)      Any improper use by a Fund or its agents, distributors or Investment Advisor of any valuations or computations supplied by BNYM-AIS in accordance with its standard of care under this Agreement;

(d)           Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, BNYM-AIS shall have no duty or obligation with respect to, including any duty or obligation to determine, or advise or notify the Funds of: (i) the taxable nature of any distribution or amount received or deemed received by, or payable to, the Funds; (ii) the taxable nature or effect on the Funds or their Subscribers of any corporate actions, class actions, tax reclaims, tax refunds, or similar events; (iii) the taxable nature or taxable amount of any distribution or dividend paid, payable or deemed paid, by the Funds to their Subscribers; or (iv) the effect under any income tax laws of the Funds making or not making any distribution, dividend payment, or election with respect thereto.

(e)           Actions taken or omitted in reliance on Instructions (whether oral, written or by email, facsimile or other electronic transmission), or upon any order, indenture, power of attorney, assignment, affidavit or other instrument believed by BNYM-AIS to be genuine or reasonably believed by BNYM-AIS to be from an Authorized Person, or upon the opinion of legal counsel for the Funds or its own counsel, shall be conclusively presumed to have been taken or omitted in good faith.

11

(f)            Each Fund shall indemnify and hold harmless BNYM-AIS and any BNYM Affiliate from and against any and all Losses, and reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees relating thereto, which are sustained or incurred or which may be asserted against BNYM-AIS or any BNYM Affiliate, by reason of or as a result of any action taken or omitted to be taken by BNYM-AIS or any BNYM Affiliate hereunder without bad faith, negligence, or willful misconduct, or in reliance upon (i) any law, act, regulation or interpretation of the same even though the same may thereafter have been altered, changed, amended or repealed, (ii) the Offering Materials (excluding information provided by BNYM-AIS), (iii) any Instructions (whether oral, written or by email, facsimile or other electronic transmission) of a person reasonably believed to be an Authorized Person, or (iv) any written opinion of legal counsel for the Funds, or arising out of transactions or other activities of the Funds which occurred prior to the commencement of this Agreement; provided, that neither BNYM-AIS nor any BNYM Affiliate shall be entitled to indemnification hereunder for Losses arising out of its own  negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct.  In addition, in no event shall a Fund be liable to BNYM-AIS or any BNYM Affiliate or any third party for special, indirect or consequential damages, or lost profits or loss of business, resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with its performance hereunder, even if previously informed of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action. This indemnity shall be a continuing obligation of the Funds, their successors and assigns, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.

11. Force Majeure.

Neither BNYM-AIS nor any Fund shall be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its reasonable control, including acts of God; acts of war or terrorism; earthquakes; fires; floods; wars; civil or military disturbances; sabotage; epidemics; riots; interruptions, loss or malfunctions of utilities, computer (hardware or software) or communications service; accidents; labor disputes; acts of civil or military authority or governmental actions; it being understood that the Funds or BNYM-AIS, as the case may be, shall use their best efforts to resume performance as soon as practicable under the circumstances.

12. Information Security and Business Continuity.

(a)           Information Security Standards and Reviews.  BNYM-AIS represents and warrants that it has in place information security standards that are reasonably designed to comply with  applicable requirements set forth by its primary regulatory oversight agency or other applicable federal law. BNYM-AIS shall notify the Funds as soon as reasonably practical under the circumstances in the event of discovery of a material breach of its systems, applications, networks or sites used to provide services hereunder and to the extent possible and available, shall advise the Funds of the efforts undertaken to correct those material breaches.

(b)          Electronic Incident Reporting. For purposes hereof, “Electronic Incident” shall mean any unauthorized action by a known or unknown person which should reasonably be considered one of the following: an attack, penetration, disclosure of Confidential Information, misuse of system access, unauthorized access or intrusion (hacking), virus intrusion, scan of BNYM-AIS’s systems or networks, or any other activity that materially adversely affects the services provided hereunder and/or Confidential Information related to the Funds. If an Electronic Incident which materially adversely affects the services provided hereunder and/or Confidential Information occurs, BNYM-AIS shall notify the Funds as soon as reasonably practicable under the circumstances.

This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by a written agreement executed by BNYM-AIS and the Funds.

14. Assignment.

15. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction.

This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to conflict of laws principles thereof.  The Funds hereby consent to the jurisdiction of a court situated in the City and State of New York in connection with any dispute arising hereunder.  THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT EACH HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVE ANY AND ALL RIGHTS TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.  TO THE EXTENT THAT IN ANY JURISDICTION THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT MAY NOW OR HEREAFTER BE ENTITLED TO CLAIM, FOR ITSELF OR ITS ASSETS, IMMUNITY FROM SUIT, EXECUTION, ATTACHMENT (BEFORE OR AFTER JUDGMENT) OR OTHER LEGAL PROCESS, THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT IRREVOCABLY AGREE NOT TO CLAIM, AND THEY HEREBY WAIVE, SUCH IMMUNITY.

16. Severability.

In case any provision in or obligation under this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions or obligations shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, and if any provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstances, it shall nevertheless remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances.

17. No Waiver.

Each and every right granted to BNYM-AIS or the Funds hereunder or under any other document delivered hereunder or in connection herewith, or allowed it by law or equity, shall be cumulative and may be exercised from time to time.  No failure on the part of BNYM-AIS or the Funds to exercise, and no delay in exercising, any right will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise by BNYM-AIS or the Funds of any right preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right.

18. Non-Exclusiveness.

No provision of this Agreement shall prevent BNYM-AIS from offering services similar or identical to those covered by this Agreement to any other corporations, associations or entities of any kind.  Any and all operational procedures, techniques and devices developed by BNYM-AIS in connection with the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, including those developed in conjunction with the Funds, shall be and remain the property of BNYM-AIS, and BNYM-AIS shall be free to employ such procedures, techniques and devices in connection with the performance of any other contract with any other person whether or not such contract is similar or identical to this Agreement.

19. Liabilities of a Fund.

The liabilities of each Fund shall be limited such that the debts, liabilities, obligations and expenses incurred, contracted for or otherwise existing and relating to this Agreement with respect to a particular Fund shall be enforceable against the assets of that particular Fund only, and not against the assets of any other Fund.

20. Administrative Staff.

The Funds hereby agree, and agree to cause the Investment Advisor to agree, to refrain from hiring any employees of BNYM-AIS during the term of this Agreement and for a period of one (1) year after the termination date of this Agreement.  Should the Funds or the Investment Advisor hire any such employee during the stated time period, the Funds or  the Investment Advisor hereby agree to compensate BNYM-AIS in an amount equivalent to the hired employee’s annual salary to cover the cost of recruiting, hiring, and training a replacement employee.

APPENDIX I

ELECTRONIC SERVICES TERMS AND CONDITIONS

1.           License; Use. (a) This Appendix I shall govern the Funds’ use of electronic communications, information delivery, portfolio management and banking services, that The Bank of New York Mellon and its affiliates (“BNYM”) may provide to the Funds, such as The Bank of New York Mellon Inform ™ and The Bank of New York Mellon CA$H-Register Plus®, and any computer software, proprietary data and documentation provided by BNYM to a Fund in connection therewith (collectively, the “Electronic Services”). In the event of any conflict between the terms of this Appendix I and the main body of this Agreement with respect to the Funds’ use of the Electronic Services, the terms of this Appendix I shall control.

(b) BNYM grants to each Fund a personal, nontransferable and nonexclusive license to use the Electronic Services to which each Fund subscribes solely for the purpose of transmitting instructions and information (“Instructions”), obtaining reports, analyses and statements and other information and data, making inquiries and otherwise communicating with BNYM in connection with the Funds’ relationship with BNYM.  Each Fund shall use the Electronic Services solely for its own internal and proper business purposes and not in the operation of a service bureau.  Except as set forth herein, no license or right of any kind is granted to any Fund with respect to the Electronic Services.  Each Fund acknowledges that BNYM and its suppliers retain and have title and exclusive proprietary rights to the Electronic Services, including any trade secrets or other ideas, concepts, know-how, methodologies, and information incorporated therein and the exclusive rights to any copyrights, trade dress, look and feel, trademarks and patents (including registrations and applications for registration of either), and other legal protections available in respect thereof.  Each Fund further acknowledges that all or a part of the Electronic Services may be copyrighted or trademarked (or a registration or claim made therefor) by BNYM or its suppliers.  The Funds shall not take any action with respect to the Electronic Services inconsistent with the foregoing acknowledgments, nor shall any Fund attempt to decompile, reverse engineer or modify the Electronic Services.  The Funds may not copy, distribute, sell, lease or provide, directly or indirectly, the Electronic Services or any portion thereof to any other person or entity without BNYM’s prior written consent.  The Funds may not remove any statutory copyright notice or other notice included in the Electronic Services.  The Funds shall reproduce any such notice on any reproduction of any portion of the Electronic Services and shall add any statutory copyright notice or other notice upon BNYM’s request.

(c) Portions of the Electronic Services may contain, deliver or rely on data supplied by third parties (“Third Party Data”), such as pricing data and indicative data, and services supplied by third parties (“Third Party Services”) such as analytic and accounting services.  Third Party Data and Third Party Services supplied hereunder are obtained from sources that BNYM believes to be reliable but are provided without any independent investigation by BNYM.  BNYM and its suppliers do not represent or warrant that the Third Party Data or Third Party Services are correct, complete or current.  Third Party Data and Third Party Services are proprietary to their suppliers, are provided solely for each Fund’s internal use, and may not be reused, disseminated or redistributed in any form.  The Funds shall not use any Third Party Data in any manner that would act as a substitute for obtaining a license for the data directly from the supplier.  Third Party Data and Third Party Services should not be used in making any investment decision.  BNYM AND ITS SUPPLIERS ARE NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY RESULTS OBTAINED FROM THE USE OF OR RELIANCE UPON THIRD PARTY DATA OR THIRD PARTY SERVICES.  BNYM’s

suppliers of Third Party Data and Services are intended third party beneficiaries of this Section 1(c) and Section 5 below.

(d) The Funds understand and agree that any links in the Electronic Services to Internet sites may be to sites sponsored and maintained by third parties.  BNYM makes no guarantees, representations or warranties concerning the information contained in any third party site (including without limitation that such information is correct, current, complete or free of viruses or other contamination), or any products or services sold through third party sites.  All such links to third party Internet sites are provided solely as a convenience to the Funds and each Fund accesses and uses such sites at its own risk.  A link in the Electronic Services to a third party site does not constitute BNYM’s endorsement, authorisation or sponsorship of such site or any products and services available from such site.

2.           Equipment.  The Funds shall obtain and maintain at their own cost and expense all equipment and services, including but not limited to communications services, necessary for them to utilize and obtain access to the Electronic Services, and BNYM shall not be responsible for the reliability or availability of any such equipment or services.

3.           Proprietary Information.  The Electronic Services, and any proprietary data (including Third Party Data), processes, software, information and documentation made available to the Funds (other than which are or become part of the public domain or are legally required to be made available to the public) (collectively, the "Information"), are the exclusive and confidential property of BNYM or its suppliers.  However, for the avoidance of doubt, reports generated by the Funds containing information relating to their account(s) (except for Third Party Data contained therein) are not deemed to be within the meaning of the term “Information.”  The Funds shall keep the Information confidential by using the same care and discretion that the Funds use with respect to their own confidential property and trade secrets, but not less than reasonable care.  Upon termination of the Agreement or the licenses granted herein for any reason, the Funds shall return to BNYM any and all copies of the Information which are in their possession or under their control (except that the Funds may retain reports containing Third Party Data, provided that such Third Party Data remains subject to the provisions of this Appendix).  The provisions of this Section 3 shall not affect the copyright status of any of the Information which may be copyrighted and shall apply to all information whether or not copyrighted.

4.           Modifications.  BNYM reserves the right to modify the Electronic Services from time to time.  The Funds agree not to modify or attempt to modify the Electronic Services without BNYM's prior written consent.  The Funds acknowledge that any modifications to the Electronic Services, whether by the Funds or BNYM and whether with or without BNYM's consent, shall become the property of BNYM.

5.           NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES; LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.  BNYM AND ITS MANUFACTURERS AND SUPPLIERS MAKE NO WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS WITH RESPECT TO THE ELECTRONIC SERVICES OR ANY THIRD PARTY DATA OR THIRD PARTY SERVICES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IN FACT OR IN LAW, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.  THE FUNDS ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THE ELECTRONIC SERVICES, THIRD PARTY DATA AND THIRD PARTY SERVICES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS.”  TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT SHALL BNYM OR ANY SUPPLIER BE LIABLE FOR ANY DAMAGES, WHETHER DIRECT, INDIRECT SPECIAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL, WHICH THE FUNDS MAY INCUR IN CONNECTION WITH THE ELECTRONIC SERVICES, THIRD PARTY DATA OR THIRD PARTY SERVICES, EVEN IF BNYM OR SUCH SUPPLIER KNEW OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  IN

NO EVENT SHALL BNYM OR ANY SUPPLIER BE LIABLE FOR ACTS OF GOD, MACHINE OR COMPUTER BREAKDOWN OR MALFUNCTION, INTERRUPTION OR MALFUNCTION OF COMMUNICATION FACILITIES, LABOR DIFFICULTIES OR ANY OTHER SIMILAR OR DISSIMILAR CAUSE BEYOND THEIR REASONABLE CONTROL.

6.           Security; Reliance; Unauthorized Use; Funds Transfers.  BNYM will establish security procedures to be followed in connection with the use of the Electronic Services, and each Fund agrees to comply with the security procedures.  Each Fund understands and agrees that the security procedures are intended to determine whether instructions received by BNYM through the Electronic Services are authorized but are not (unless otherwise specified in writing) intended to detect any errors contained in such instructions.  Each Fund will cause all persons utilizing the Electronic Services to treat any user and authorization codes, passwords, authentication keys and other security devices with the highest degree of care and confidentiality.  Upon termination of each Fund’s use of the Electronic Services, each Fund shall return to BNYM any security devices (e.g., token cards) provided by BNYM.  BNYM is hereby irrevocably authorized to comply with and rely upon Instructions and other communications, whether or not authorized, received by it through the Electronic Services.  Each Fund acknowledges that it has sole responsibility for ensuring that only Authorized Persons use the Electronic Services and that to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law BNYM shall not be responsible nor liable for any unauthorized use thereof or for any losses sustained by any Fund arising from or in connection with the use of the Electronic Services or BNYM’s reliance upon and compliance with Instructions and other communications received through the Electronic Services.  With respect to instructions for a transfer of funds issued through the Electronic Services, when instructed to credit or pay a party by both name and a unique numeric or alpha-numeric identifier (e.g. ABA number or account number), BNYM, its affiliates, and any other bank participating in the funds transfer, may rely solely on the unique identifier, even if it identifies a party different than the party named.  Such reliance on a unique identifier shall apply to beneficiaries named in such instructions as well as any financial institution which is designated in such instructions to act as an intermediary in a funds transfer.  It is understood and agreed that unless otherwise specifically provided herein, and to the extent permitted by applicable law, the parties hereto shall be bound by the rules of any funds transfer system utilized to effect a funds transfer hereunder.

7.           Acknowledgments.  BNYM shall acknowledge through the Electronic Services its receipt of each Instruction communicated through the Electronic Services, and in the absence of such acknowledgment BNYM shall not be liable for any failure to act in accordance with such Instruction and the Funds may not claim that such Instruction was received by BNYM.  BNYM may in its discretion decline to act upon any instructions or communications that are insufficient or incomplete or are not received by BNYM in sufficient time for BNYM to act upon, or in accordance with such instructions or communications.

8.           Viruses.  Each Fund agrees to use reasonable efforts to prevent the transmission through the Electronic Services of any software or file which contains any viruses, worms, harmful component or corrupted data and agrees not to use any device, software, or routine to interfere or attempt to interfere with the proper working of the Electronic Services.

9.           Encryption.  Each Fund acknowledges and agrees that encryption may not be available for every communication through the Electronic Services, or for all data.  Each Fund agrees that BNYM may deactivate any encryption features at any time, without notice or liability to any Fund, for the purpose of maintaining, repairing or troubleshooting its systems.

10.          On-Line Inquiry and Modification of Records. In connection with the Funds’ use of the Electronic Services, BNYM may, at any Fund’s request, permit a Fund to enter data directly into a BNYM database for the purpose of modifying certain information maintained by BNYM’s systems, including, but not limited to, change of address information.  To the extent that a Fund is granted such access, the applicable Fund agrees to indemnify and hold BNYM harmless from all loss, liability, cost, damage and expense (including attorney’s fees and expenses) to which BNYM may be subjected or which may be incurred in connection with any claim which may arise out of or as a result of changes to BNYM database records initiated by the applicable Fund.

11.          Agents.  Each Fund may, on advance written notice to the BNYM, permit its agents and contractors (“Agents”) to access and use the Electronic Services on the applicable Fund’s behalf, except that the BNYM reserves the right to prohibit the applicable Fund’s use of any particular Agent for any reason.  The applicable Fund shall require its Agent(s) to agree in writing to be bound by the terms of the Agreement, and said Fund shall be liable and responsible for any act or omission of such Agent in the same manner, and to the same extent, as though such act or omission were that of the Fund.  Each submission of an Instruction or other communication by the Agent through the Electronic Services shall constitute a representation and warranty by the Fund that the Agent continues to be duly authorized by the Fund to so act on its behalf and BNYM may rely on the representations and warranties made herein in complying with such Instruction or communication.  Any Instruction or other communication through the Electronic Services by an Agent shall be deemed that of the applicable Fund, and the applicable Fund shall be bound thereby whether or not authorized.  Each Fund may, subject to the terms of this Agreement and upon advance written notice to BNYM, provide a copy of the Electronic Service user manuals to its Agent if the Agent requires such copies to use the Electronic Services on the applicable Fund’s behalf.  Upon cessation of any such Agent's services, the applicable Fund shall promptly terminate such Agent’s access to the Electronic Services, retrieve from the Agent any copies of the manuals and destroy them, and retrieve from the Agent any token cards or other security devices provided by BNYM and return them to BNYM.
