8.           Disaster Recovery.  BNYM shall enter into and shall maintain in effect with appropriate parties one or more agreements making reasonable provisions for emergency use of electronic data processing equipment to the extent appropriate equipment is available.  In the event of equipment failures, BNYM shall, at no additional expense to the Fund, take reasonable steps to minimize service interruptions.  BNYM 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 BNYM's own intentional misconduct, willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties or obligations under this Agreement.

9.           Fees and Expenses.

(a)           As compensation for services rendered by BNYM during the term of this Agreement, the Fund will pay to BNYM such fees and charges (the "Fees") as may be agreed to from time to time in writing by the Fund and BNYM (the "Fee Agreement").  In addition, the Fund agrees to pay, and will be billed separately in arrears for, reasonable expenses incurred by BNYM in the performance of its duties hereunder ("Reimbursable Expenses").

(b)         In connection with cash management accounts that BNYM may establish in its own name for the benefit of the Funds at third party institutions, including without limitation institutions that may be an affiliate or client of BNYM (a "Third Party Institution") for the purpose of administering the funds received by BNYM in the course of performing its services hereunder (“Service Accounts”),

(i) the Funds acknowledge that BNYM may receive (i) investment earnings from sweeping certain funds in such Service Accounts into investment accounts at Third Party Institutions; and (ii) balance credits with respect to the funds in the Service Accounts not swept as described in clause (i).  On a monthly basis, BNYM will offset banking service fees imposed on the Service Accounts by the Third Party Institutions (which are passed to the Fund) with balance credits calculated on average balances held in the Service Accounts without reduction for amounts swept as described in clause (i).  BNYM may retain for its own account the investment earnings and balance credits received from Third Party Institutions with respect to the Service Accounts.  BNYM may in its discretion use the services of Third Party Institutions in connection with the issuance of redemption and distribution checks and may retain any benefits resulting from such arrangements, including any commission or return on float paid to it for balances transferred from the Service Accounts to the Third Party Institutions; and

(ii) the Fund acknowledges and agrees:

(A) that one or more of the Service Accounts will be utilized by BNYM to perform same day funds settlements on behalf of the Fund through the NSCC ("SDFS Accounts");

(B) that in order to satisfy the Fund's same day settlement obligations with the NSCC, BNYM may be required to transfer to the NSCC an amount of funds which exceeds the amount of funds then available for transfer in the relevant SDFS Account ("Excess SDFS Amount");

(C) that BNYM is not obligated to transfer any funds to the NSCC representing Excess SDFS Amounts and may in its sole discretion decline to transfer to the NSCC funds representing Excess SDFS Amounts without liability hereunder, except for conduct constituting negligence or willful misconduct;

Page 14

Execution Copy

(D) that notwithstanding the absence of any obligation to do so, BNYM may elect to transfer to the NSCC funds representing Excess SDFS Amounts as a courtesy to the Fund and to maintain its good standing with the NSCC and that by electing to transfer funds to the NSCC representing Excess SDFS Amounts BNYM does not, even if it has transferred such funds as part of a regular pattern of conduct, waive any rights under this Section 9(b)(ii) or assume the obligation it has expressly disclaimed in clause (C) and BNYM may at any time in its sole discretion and without notice decline to continue to make such transfers;

(E) that BNYM may reverse and cancel any shareholder transaction without liability hereunder, except for conduct constituting negligence or willful misconduct, in order to adjust the amount of funds owed by the Fund to the NSCC in same day funds settlement to be equal to or less than the amount then available for transfer in the relevant SDFS Account or to recover from the NSCC funds already transferred to the NSCC representing SDFS Amounts; and

(F) that any and all Excess SDFS Amounts that may be transferred to the NSCC by BNYM on behalf of the Fund represent obligations of the Fund to BNYM and are payable by the Fund immediately upon demand by BNYM.

(c)           The undersigned hereby represents and warrants to BNYM that (i) the terms of this Agreement, (ii) the fees and expenses associated with this Agreement, and (iii) any benefits accruing to BNYM or to the adviser or sponsor to the Fund in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to any fee waivers, conversion cost reimbursements, up front payments, signing payments or periodic payments made or to be made by BNYM to such adviser or sponsor or any affiliate of the Fund relating to the Agreement have been fully disclosed to the Board of Directors of the Fund and that, if required by applicable law, such Board of Directors has approved or will approve the terms of this Agreement, any such fees and expenses, and any such benefits.

(d)           No termination of this Agreement shall cause, and no provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in any manner that would cause, BNYM's right to receive payment of its fees and charges for services actually performed hereunder, and Fund's obligation to pay such fees and charges, to be barred, limited, abridged, conditioned, reduced, abrogated, or subject to a cap or other limitation or exclusion of any nature.

(e)           To the extent that any service or course of conduct of BNYM or the Custodian provided hereunder is configured or performed as it is in whole or in part due to parameters set forth in Shareholder Materials, standards imposed by clearing corporations or other industry-wide service bureaus or organizations, Fund policies or laws, rules or regulations in effect on the Effective Date and due to new or amended provisions of any of the foregoing after the Effective Date BNYM or the Custodian develops, implements or provides significantly modified, different, or new processes, procedures, resources or functionalities to perform such service or course of conduct or to perform a related new service or course of conduct, BNYM shall be entitled to fees appropriate for such processes, procedures, resources or functionalities or as otherwise mutually agreed by the parties.

(f)           While the Fee Agreement sets forth the Fees and certain of the expenses constituting Reimbursable Expenses, BNYM's rights hereunder to receive compensation and the reimbursement of expenses from the Fund for services or a course of conduct performed in accordance with the Agreement shall not be diminished to any degree solely due to such fees and reimbursable expenses not being expressly set forth in the Fee Agreement, including by way of illustration and not limitation fees and reimbursable expenses arising from a service or a course of conduct performed pursuant to Non-Standard Instructions and other Fund Communications, in connection with a Response Failure, and responding to Fund Error.

(g)           In the event the Investment Company or any Series of the Investment Company is liquidated, ceases operations, dissolves or otherwise winds down operations ("Dissolution Event") and effects a final distribution to shareholders (a "Final Distribution"), the Investment Company and each relevant Series shall be responsible for paying to BNYM all fees and reimbursing BNYM for all reasonable expenses associated with services to be provided by BNYM following the Final Distribution, whether provided pursuant to a specific request of the Investment Company or the Series or provided by BNYM due to industry standards or due to obligations under applicable law or regulation by virtue of the services previously performed for the Investment Company or the Series ("Final Expenses").  In connection with the foregoing, the Investment Company or the relevant Series shall (i) notify BNYM as promptly as practicable following first approval of the Dissolution Event or any aspect of the Dissolution Event by its Board of Directors or Trustees, as appropriate, and furnish BNYM with copies of all materials filed with the SEC or distributed to shareholders related thereto, (ii) calculate, set aside, reserve and withhold from the Final Distribution all amounts necessary to pay the Final Expenses and shall notify BNYM as far in advance as practicable of any deadline for submitting materials appropriate or necessary for the determination of such amounts, and (iii) provide sufficient staff or other accommodations to ensure timely payment of Final Expenses as they come due.

10.           Instructions.

(a)           Unless the terms of this Agreement or BNYM's Written Procedures expressly provide, in the reasonable discretion of BNYM, all requisite details and directions for it to take a specific course of conduct, BNYM may, prior to engaging in a course of conduct on a particular matter, require the Fund to provide it with Oral Instructions or Written Instructions with respect to the matter.

(b)           Whether received from the Fund in response to a request described in Section 10(a) or otherwise, BNYM shall be obligated to act only on "Standard Instructions", which is hereby defined to mean (i) Instructions it receives which direct a course of conduct substantially similar in all material respects to a course of conduct provided for in BNYM's Written Procedures, or (ii) if BNYM's Written Procedures provide for a particular form of instructions to be used in connection with a matter ("Form"), Instructions it receives on the Form or conforming in all material respects to the Form in the BNYM's sole judgment.

(c)           BNYM may in its sole discretion decline to follow any course of conduct contained in an Instruction that is not a Standard Instruction (such course of conduct being a "Non-Standard Instruction") for a bona fide legal, commercial or business reason ("Bona Fide Reason"), including by way of example and not limitation the following: (i) the course of conduct is not consistent or compliant with, is in conflict with, or requires a deviation from an Industry Standard, (ii) the course of conduct is not reasonably necessary or appropriate to or consistent with the services contemplated by this Agreement, (iii) the course of conduct requires a deviation from BNYM's Written Procedures, (iv) the course of conduct is in conflict or inconsistent with or violates a law, rule, regulation, or order or legal process of any nature, (v)  the course of conduct is in conflict or inconsistent with or will violate a provision of this Agreement, or (vi) the course of conduct imposes on BNYM a risk, liability or obligation not contemplated by this Agreement, including without limitation sanction or criticism of a governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority, civil or criminal action, a loss or downgrading of membership, participation or access rights or privileges in or to organizations providing common services to the financial services industry, out-of-pocket costs and expenses the Fund does not agree to reimburse, requires performance of a course of conduct customarily performed pursuant to a separate service or fee agreement, requires a material increase in required resources, or is reasonably likely to result in a diversion of resources, disruption in established work flows, course of operations or implementation of controls, or (vii) BNYM lacks sufficient information, analysis or legal advice to determine that the conditions in clauses (iv) and (vi) do not exist.

Page 16

Execution Copy

(d) Notwithstanding the right reserved to BNYM by subsection (c) above:

(i) BNYM may in good faith consider implementing a Non-Standard Instruction if the Fund agrees in a prior written authorization to reimburse BNYM for: the costs and expenses incurred in consulting with and obtaining the opinions or other work product of technical specialists, legal counsel or other third party advisors, consultants or professionals reasonably considered by BNYM to be appropriate to fully research, develop and implement the policies, procedures, operational structure and controls required to perform the Non-Standard Instruction ("External Research"), the costs and expenses associated with utilizing or expanding internal resources to research, develop and implement the policies, procedures, operational structure and controls required to perform the Non-Standard Instruction ("Internal Research", and together with the External Research, the "Research"), and the fees and charges reasonably established by BNYM for performing the Non-Standard Instruction following its implementation.  The Fund may, in place of agreeing to reimburse BNYM for the costs of Research, agree in such written authorization to provide BNYM at the Fund's cost and expense with all Research reasonably requested by BNYM.

(ii) Following receipt of all requested Research, BNYM may, in its sole discretion, as an accommodation and not pursuant to any obligation, agree to follow a Non-Standard Instruction if it subsequently receives a Written Instruction containing terms satisfactory to it in its sole discretion, including without limitation terms constituting additional agreements with respect to fees, charges, and expenses, terms constituting appropriate warranties, representations and covenants, and terms specifying with reasonable particularity the course of conduct constituting the Non-Standard Instruction.

(iii) BNYM reserves the right following receipt of all External Research and Internal Research and notwithstanding such receipt to continue to decline to perform the Non-Standard Instruction for a Bona Fide Reason.

(e)           BNYM will also not be obligated to act on any Instruction with respect to which it has reasonable uncertainty about the meaning of the Instruction or which appears to conflict with another Instruction. BNYM will advise the Fund if it has uncertainty about the meaning of an Instruction or if it appears to conflict with another Instruction, but BNYM will have no liability for any delay between issuance of the initial Instruction and its receipt of a clarifying Instruction.

(f)           In addition to any other provision of this Agreement that may be applicable to a particular Instruction, BNYM may include in a form of instruction constituting a Standard Instruction, in addition to appropriate functional terms and provisions, indemnification terms that are substantially similar in all material respects to indemnification terms of this Agreement and representations and covenants that BNYM reasonably believes to be appropriate due to risks, liabilities or obligations incurred by on it by virtue of acting in an agency capacity for the Fund or imposed on it by law, regulation, or governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority by virtue of its agency conduct.  In addition, BNYM may require third parties who purport to be authorized, or who the Fund indicates has been authorized, to act on behalf of or for the benefit of the Fund in connection with this Agreement to execute an instrument containing indemnification terms, representations and covenants as BNYM may reasonably require prior to accepting the authority of the persons to so act or prior to engaging in a course of conduct with them.

(g)           BNYM shall not be under any duty or obligation to inquire into and shall not be liable for the validity or invalidity, authority or lack thereof, truthfulness or accuracy or lack thereof, or genuineness or lack thereof of any Instruction, direction, notice, instrument or other information or communication from the Fund which BNYM reasonably believes to have been given by the Fund ("Fund Communication").  BNYM shall have no liability for engaging in a course of conduct in accordance with any of the foregoing provided it otherwise acts in compliance with the Agreement.  BNYM shall be entitled to rely upon any Instruction it receives from an Authorized Person or from a person BNYM reasonably believes to be an Authorized Person relating to this Agreement. BNYM may assume that any Instruction received hereunder is not in any way inconsistent with the provisions of organizational documents of the Fund or this Agreement or of any vote, resolution or proceeding of the Fund's Board of Directors or of the Fund's shareholders.

Page 17

Execution Copy

(h)           BNYM may, in its discretion, decline to accept Oral Instructions with respect to a particular matter under this Agreement and may require Written Instructions before engaging in a course of conduct with respect to a particular matter under this Agreement.  In the event BNYM accepts Oral Instructions, the Fund agrees as a condition to BNYM's acceptance of the Oral Instructions, to deliver to BNYM, for receipt by 5:00 PM (Eastern Time) on the same business day as the day the Oral Instructions were given, Written Instructions which confirm the Oral Instructions. In the event Written Instructions confirming Oral Instructions are received late, are never received, or fail to contain terms which confirm the Oral Instructions in all material respects: (i) the validity, authorization and enforceability of the Oral Instructions, all actions, transactions, and conduct occurring as a result of the Oral Instructions, and BNYM's ability to rely on the Oral Instructions shall not be abridged, abrogated, nullified or adversely impacted in any manner; and (ii) BNYM's memorialization of the Oral Instructions shall be conclusively presumed to be the controlling Written Instructions in the event confirming Written Instructions are never received or are received but fail to confirm the Oral Instructions in all material respects.

(i) In the event facts, circumstances, or conditions exist or events occur, other than due to a breach by BNYM of its Standard of Care (as defined below), including without limitation situations contemplated by Section 10(e), and BNYM reasonably determines that it must take a course of conduct in response to such situation and must receive an Instruction from the Fund to direct its conduct, and BNYM so notifies the Fund, and the Fund fails to furnish adequate Instructions or unreasonably delays furnishing adequate Instructions ("Response Failure"):

(ii) BNYM will first endeavor to utilize internal resources to determine the appropriate course of conduct in response to the situation but will be entitled, at the Fund's sole cost and expense, to consult with legal counsel or other third parties reasonably determined by BNYM to be appropriate to determine the appropriate course of conduct and the Fund will reimburse BNYM for out-of-pocket expenses so incurred upon being invoiced for same; and

(iii) BNYM may implement a course of conduct on behalf of the Fund and BNYM will have all rights hereunder with respect to such course of conduct as if such course of conduct was taken pursuant to and contained in Written Instructions.  The Fund will pay BNYM all fees reasonably charged by BNYM, if any, for engaging in the particular course of conduct and reimburse BNYM for all reasonably related out-of-pocket expenses incurred upon being invoiced for same.

11.           Limitation of Liability.

(a)           BNYM shall be liable to the Fund (or any person or entity claiming through the Fund) for Loss the recovery of which is not otherwise excluded by another provision of this Agreement only to the extent the Loss is caused by BNYM’s intentional misconduct, willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of its duties under this Agreement (“Standard of Care”) and only if the Fund provides BNYM with written notice of the Loss pursuant to the notice provisions of Section 15.  In the absence of a finding to the contrary, the reasonable acceptance, processing and/or negotiation of a fraudulent payment for the purchase of Shares shall be presumed not to have been a failure of BNYM to meet its Standard of Care.

Page 18

Execution Copy

(b)           BNYM's maximum aggregate cumulative liability to the Fund and all persons or entities claiming through the Fund, considered as a whole, for all Losses the recovery of which is not otherwise excluded by another provision of this Agreement shall not exceed the fees actually paid to BNYM by the Fund for services provided hereunder during the twenty-four (24) months immediately prior to the last Loss Date; (the “Liability Cap’).  For purposes of clarification, in the event a Loss occurs prior to the end of 24 months subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Liability Cap shall be calculated on a pro forma basis based upon the fees actually paid to BNYM pursuant to this Agreement prior to the date of Loss.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, if any Loss is incurred by the Fund, its affiliates and any person or entity claiming through the Fund or its affiliates that is caused by BNYM’s intentional misconduct or willful misfeasance, BNYM’s liability shall be limited to the greater of the actual Loss incurred or the Liability Cap.

(c)           BNYM shall not be liable for damages (including without limitation damages caused by 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; national emergencies; public enemy; war; terrorism; riot; fire; flood; catastrophe; sabotage; epidemics; labor disputes; civil commotion; interruption, loss or malfunction of utilities, transportation; insurrection; elements of nature; non-performance by a third party; failure of the mails; or functions or malfunctions of the internet, firewalls, encryption systems or security devices caused by any of the foregoing (all and any of the foregoing being an "Event Beyond Reasonable Control") .  Upon the occurrence of an Event Beyond Reasonable Control, the affected Party shall be excused from any non-performance caused by the Event Beyond Reasonable Control (i) for so long as the Event Beyond Reasonable Control or damages caused by it prevail; and (ii) such party continues to use commercially reasonable efforts to attempt to perform the obligation so impacted.

(d)           NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THE AGREEMENT, IN NO EVENT SHALL BNYM, ITS AFFILIATES OR ANY OF ITS OR THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR SUBCONTRACTORS BE LIABLE UNDER ANY THEORY OF TORT, CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY FOR LOST PROFITS, FOR EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY OTHER DAMAGES WHICH ARE NOT DIRECT DAMAGES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE OR SHOULD HAVE BEEN FORESEEABLE AND REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY ENTITY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES, ALL AND EACH OF WHICH DAMAGES IS HEREBY EXCLUDED BY AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES.  FOR PURPOSES OF CLARIFICATION: NO OTHER PROVISION OF THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE INTERPRETED TO CONDITION, LIMIT, MODIFY, NULLIFY OR OTHERWISE PREVAIL IN WHOLE OR IN PART OVER THIS SECTION 11(e).

(f)            No party may assert a claim or cause of action (or, if applicable, commence an arbitration or other alternate dispute resolution proceeding) against BNYM or any of its affiliates more than 36 months after the first event or occurrence comprising the conduct or alleged conduct upon which the cause of action is based.

(g)           Each party shall have a duty to mitigate damages for which the other party may become responsible.

(h)           This Section 11 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

12.           Indemnification.

(a)           The Fund agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless BNYM and its affiliates, including specifically and without limitation PFPC Trust Company in connection with services it provides pursuant to Section 3(a)(12), and the respective directors, trustees, officers, agents and employees of each, from any and all Losses and all attorneys’ fees, court costs, travel costs and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses related to the investigation, discovery, litigation, settlement, mediation or alternative dispute resolution of any Claim arising directly or indirectly from: (a) conduct of the Fund in connection with activities contemplated by this Agreement, or the conduct of a Fund contractor, subcontractor or prior service provider in connection with providing services to the Fund; (b) conduct of BNYM as agent of the Fund not constituting a breach of its Standard of Care; (c) conduct of BNYM pursuant to a Fund Communication or in reliance on written legal analysis or advice, provided BNYM's performance of the conduct shall remain subject to the Standard of Care; (d) a course of conduct taken by BNYM pursuant to Section 10(i) due to a Response Failure; and (e) a Fund Error.  BNYM shall have no liability to the Fund or any person claiming through the Fund for any Loss caused in whole or in part by any conduct described in the preceding sentence. This Section 12(a) shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(b)           BNYM agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Fund and its affiliates, and the respective directors, trustees, officers, agents and employees of each from any and all Losses and all attorneys’ fees, court costs, travel costs and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses related to the investigation, discovery, litigation, settlement, mediation or alternative dispute resolution of any Claim arising directly from BNYM’s breach of its Standard of Care set forth in this Agreement; provided, however, BNYM shall have no obligation under this Section 12(b) with respect to any Losses, attorneys’ fees, court costs, travel costs and other reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses related to the investigation, discovery, litigation, settlement, mediation or alternative dispute resolution of any Claim arising directly or indirectly from the Fund’s intentional misconduct, bad faith or negligence.  This Section 12(b) shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

13.           Duration and Termination.

(a)           This Agreement shall be effective on the Effective Date and continue, unless validly terminated pursuant to this Section 13 prior thereto, until the date which is the third (3rd) anniversary of the Service Effective Date (the “Initial Term”).

(b)           This Agreement shall automatically renew on the final day of the Initial Term and the final day of each Renewal Term for an additional term which will continue until the first (1st) anniversary of such renewal date (each such additional term being a “Renewal Term”), unless the Fund or BNYM gives written notice to the other party of its intent not to renew and such notice is received by the other party not less than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term (a "Non-Renewal Notice").  In the event a party provides a Non-Renewal Notice, this Agreement shall terminate at 11:59 PM (Eastern Time) on the last day of the Initial Term or Renewal Term, as applicable.

(c)           If a party materially breaches this Agreement (a “Defaulting Party”) the other party (the “Non-Defaulting Party”) may give written notice thereof to the Defaulting Party ("Breach Notice"), and if such material breach shall not have been remedied within thirty (30) days after the Breach Notice is given, then the Non Defaulting Party may terminate this Agreement by giving written notice of termination to the Defaulting Party ("Breach Termination Notice"), in which case this Agreement shall terminate as of 11:59 PM (Eastern Time) on the 30th day following the date the Breach Termination Notice is given, or such later date as may be specified in the Breach Termination Notice (but not later than the last day of the Initial Term or then-current Renewal Term, as appropriate). In all cases, termination by the Non-Defaulting Party shall not constitute a waiver by the Non-Defaulting Party of any other rights it might have under this Agreement or otherwise against the Defaulting Party.

(d)           Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if in connection with a Change in Control the Fund gives notice to BNYM terminating this Agreement or terminating it as the provider of any of the services hereunder or if the Fund otherwise terminates this Agreement or any of such services before the expiration of, as appropriate, the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term (“Early Termination”) (in all cases, other than in accordance with Sections 13(b) or (c) above) the following terms shall apply:

(i) BNYM shall, if requested by the Fund, make a good faith effort to facilitate a conversion to the Fund’s successor service provider; provided that BNYM does not guarantee that it will be able to effect a conversion on the date(s) requested by the Fund.

(ii) Before the effective date of the Early Termination and before any conversion of Fund records and accounts to a successor service provider, the Fund shall pay to BNYM an amount equal to one-half of all fees and other amounts (“Early Termination Fee”) calculated as if BNYM were to provide all services hereunder until the expiration of, as appropriate, the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term.  The Early Termination Fee shall be calculated using the average of the monthly fees and other amounts due to BNYM under this Agreement during the last three calendar months before the date of the notice of Early Termination (or, if not given, the date services are terminated hereunder).

(iii) The Fund expressly acknowledges and agrees that the Early Termination Fee is not a penalty but reasonable compensation to BNYM for the termination of services before the expiration of, as appropriate, the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term.

(iv) For purposes of this Section 13(d), “Change in Control” means a merger, consolidation, adoption, acquisition, change in control, re-structuring, or re-organization of or any other similar occurrence involving the Fund or any affiliate of the Fund.

(v) If the Fund gives notice of Early Termination (or an Early Termination without such notice occurs) after expiration of the notice period specified in Section 13(b), the references above to “expiration of, as appropriate, the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term” shall be deemed to mean “expiration of the Renewal Term immediately following, as appropriate, the Initial Term or the then-current Renewal Term.”

(vi) If any of the Fund’s assets serviced by BNYM under this Agreement are removed from the coverage of this Agreement (“Removed Assets”) and are subsequently serviced by another service provider (including the Fund or an affiliate of the Fund): (i) the Fund will be deemed to have caused an Early Termination with respect to such Removed Assets as of the day immediately preceding the first such removal of assets and be obligated to BNYM for an Early Termination Fee calculated as if the Removed Assets constituted a "Fund"; and, (ii) at, BNYM’s option, either (a) the Fund will also be deemed to have caused an Early Termination with respect to all non-Removed Assets as of a date selected by BNYM resulting in the Fund owing BNYM the Early Termination Fee, or (b) this Agreement will remain in full force and effect with respect to all non-Removed Assets.

(e)           In the event of termination, all expenses ("Conversion Expenses") associated with movement of records and materials and conversion thereof to a successor transfer agent ("Conversion Actions") will be borne by the Fund and paid to BNYM prior to any such conversion, including without limitation (i) reasonable expenses incurred by BNYM associated with de-conversion to a successor service provider, (ii) reasonable expenses associated with the transfer or duplication of records and materials, (iii) reasonable expenses associated with the conversion of records or materials and (iv) reasonable trailingexpenses.  In addition, in the event of termination, if BNYM continues to perform any Conversion Actions or provides any other services hereunder, beyond any termination date or time specified in any notice or in any other manner, the Fund shall be obligated to pay BNYM immediately upon being invoiced therefor, all Conversion Expenses and all other Fees and Reimbursable Expenses associated with the services BNYM continues to provide hereunder during such period.  BNYM's performance of any Conversion Actions is conditioned on the prior full performance by the Fund, to BNYM's reasonable satisfaction, of its obligations under Section 3(a)(12)(C)(ii).

(f)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, BNYM may in its sole discretion terminate this Agreement immediately by sending notice thereof to the Fund upon the happening of any of the following: (i) the Fund commences as debtor any case or proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency or similar law, or there is commenced against the Fund any such case or proceeding; (ii)  the Fund commences as debtor any case or proceeding seeking the appointment of a receiver, conservator, trustee, custodian or similar official for the Fund or any substantial part of its property or there is commenced against the Fund any such case or proceeding; (iii) the Fund makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors; or (iv) the Fund states in any medium, written, electronic or otherwise, any communication or in any other manner its inability to pay debts as they come due.  BNYM may exercise its termination right under this Section 13(f) at any time after the occurrence of any of the foregoing events notwithstanding that such event may cease to be continuing prior to such exercise, and any delay in exercising this right shall not be construed as a waiver or other extinguishment of that right.  Any exercise by BNYM of its termination right under this Section 13(f) shall be without any prejudice to any other remedies or rights available to BNYM and shall not be subject to any fee or penalty, whether monetary or equitable.  Notwithstanding clause (iii) of Section 15, notice of termination under this Section 13(f) shall be considered given and effective when given, not when received.

(a)           The parties acknowledge that the services described in and to be provided under this Agreement involve processes, actions, functions, instructions, consents, choices, the exercise of rights or performance of obligations, communications and other components, both internal to BNYM and interactive between the parties, necessitated or made appropriate by business or by legal or regulatory considerations, or both, that in most cases are far too numerous and minutely detailed to expressly include in this Agreement and that, accordingly, the parties agree that BNYM shall perform the services provided for in this Agreement in accordance with the written policies, procedures, manuals, documentation and other operational guidelines of BNYM governing the performance of the services in effect at the time the services are performed ("Written Procedures"), that BNYM may from time to time revise its Written Procedures, and that the Written Procedures are expressly intended to supplement the description of services provided for herein, but that the express terms of this Agreement will always prevail in any conflict with the Written Procedures. BNYM may embody in its Written Procedures any course of conduct which it reasonably determines is commercially reasonable or consistent with generally accepted industry practices, principles or standards ("Industry Standard") and in making such determination may rely on such information, data, research, analysis and advice, including legal analysis and advice, as it reasonably determines appropriate under the circumstances.

(b)           Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the following terms of this Section 14(b) shall apply in the event facts, circumstances or conditions exist or events occur, other than due to a breach by BNYM of its Standard of Care, which would require a service to be provided hereunder other than in accordance with BNYM's Written Procedures, or if BNYM is requested by the Fund, or a third party authorized to act for the Fund, to deviate from a Written Procedure in connection with the performance of a service hereunder (collectively, "Exception Services"):

Execution Copy

(i) BNYM shall not be obligated to perform any particular Exception Service.  However, BNYM may in good faith consider developing and implementing an Exception Service: if the Fund agrees in a prior written authorization to reimburse BNYM for all costs and expenses incurred in consulting with and obtaining the opinions of specialists, legal counsel or other third parties reasonably considered by BNYM to be appropriate in light of the Exception Service requested ("Exception Research") and the costs associated with utilizing internal resources to develop and implement the Exception Service, and to pay the fees and charges established by BNYM for performing the Exception Service.  The Fund may, in place of agreeing to reimburse BNYM for the costs of Exception Research, agree in such written authorization to provide BNYM with all Exception Research reasonably requested by BNYM at the Fund's cost and expense.

(ii) Following receipt of all requested Exception Research, BNYM may, in its sole discretion, as an accommodation and not pursuant to any obligation, agree to provide an Exception Service if it receives a Written Instruction containing terms satisfactory to it in its sole discretion, including without limitation terms constituting additional agreements with respect to fees, charges, and expenses, terms constituting appropriate warranties, representations and covenants, and terms specifying with particularity the course of conduct constituting the Exception Service.

(iii) BNYM reserves the right following receipt of all Exception Research and not withstanding such receipt to continue to decline to perform the Exception Service for a bona fide legal, commercial or business reason.

(c)           In the event that Fund requests documentation, analysis or verification in whatsoever form regarding the commercial reasonableness or industry acceptance of conduct provided for in a Written Procedure, BNYM will cooperate to furnish such materials as it may have in its possession at the time of the request without cost to the Fund, but the Fund agrees to reimburse BNYM for all out of pockets costs and expenses incurred, including the costs of legal or expert advice or analysis, in obtaining additional materials in connection with the request.

Execution Copy

(b)           Notwithstanding subsection (a) above, in the event an officer of the Investment Company or other person acting with apparent authority on behalf of the Investment Company requests that BNYM perform some or all of the services provided for in this Agreement for a Series not listed on Schedule B, as amended, and such Series accepts such services and pays amounts provided for in the Fee Agreement as Fees and Reimbursable Expenses, then in the absence of an express written statement to the contrary such services are provided in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and the Series shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement with respect to all matters addressed herein, except that BNYM may terminate such amendment by convenience to this Agreement if within 60 days of the first such acceptance of services by the Series the Investment Company and BNYM do not execute an written amendment to Schedule B on terms mutually acceptable to BNYM and the Investment Company in their respective sole discretion. BNYM and the Investment Company each reserve the right to negotiate terms appropriate to such additional Series which differ from the terms herein.

17.           Delegation; Assignment.  Except as expressly provided in this Section 17, no party may assign or transfer this Agreement or assign or transfer any right or obligation hereunder without the written consent of the other party and any attempt at such assignment or transfer, or any such assignment or transfer, shall be void.  A merger, a sale of a majority or more of the assets, equity interests or voting control, or a transfer by operation of law shall be considered a "transfer" under this Section.  Notwithstanding the foregoing: To the extent appropriate under rules and regulations of the NSCC, BNYM may satisfy its obligations with respect to services involving the NSCC through an Affiliate that is a member of the NSCC by delegation or subcontracting; BNYM may assign or transfer this Agreement to an Affiliate or transfer this Agreement in connection with a sale of a majority or more of its assets, equity interests or voting control, provided that BNYM gives the Investment Company thirty (30) days' prior written notice of such assignment or transfer and such assignment or transfer does not impair the Investment Company's receipt of services under this Agreement in any material respect, and the assignee or transferee agrees to be bound by all terms of this Agreement in place of BNYM.  A change in control of either party shall not constitute an assignment of this Agreement; and BNYM may subcontract with, hire, engage or otherwise outsource to any third party with respect to the performance of any one or more of the functions, services, duties or obligations of BNYM under this Agreement but any such subcontracting, hiring, engaging or outsourcing shall not relieve BNYM of any of its liabilities hereunder.

18.           Facsimile Signatures; Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one more counterparts; such execution of counterparts may occur by manual signature, facsimile signature, manual signature transmitted by means of facsimile transmission or manual signature contained in an imaged document attached to an email transmission; and each such counterpart executed in accordance with the foregoing shall be deemed an original, with all such counterparts together constituting one and the same instrument.  The exchange of executed copies of this Agreement or of executed signature pages to this Agreement by facsimile transmission or as an imaged document attached to an email transmission shall constitute effective execution and delivery hereof and may be used for all purposes in lieu of a manually executed copy of this Agreement.

19. Miscellaneous.

(a)           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement embodies the final, complete, exclusive and fully integrated record of the agreement of the parties on the subject matter herein and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to such subject matter, provided that the parties may embody in one or more separate documents their agreement, if any, with respect to delegated duties.

Page 24

Execution Copy

(b)           Non-Solicitation.  During the term of this Agreement and for one year thereafter, the Fund shall not (with the exceptions noted in the immediately succeeding sentence) knowingly solicit or recruit for employment or hire any of BNYM’s employees, and the Fund shall cause the Fund’s sponsor and the Fund’s affiliates to not (with the exceptions noted in the immediately succeeding sentence) knowingly solicit or recruit for employment or hire any of BNYM’s employees.  To “knowingly” solicit, recruit or hire within the meaning of this provision does not include, and therefore does not prohibit, solicitation, recruitment or hiring of a BNYM employee by the Fund, the Fund’s sponsor or an affiliate of the Fund if the BNYM employee was identified by such entity solely as a result of the BNYM employee’s response to a general advertisement by such entity in a publication of trade or industry interest or other similar general solicitation by such entity.

(c)           No Changes that Materially Affect Obligations.  Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Fund agrees not to make any modifications to its registration statement or other Shareholder Materials or to adopt any policies which would affect materially the obligations or responsibilities of BNYM hereunder without the prior written approval of BNYM, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Such approval, if given, shall not constitute a waiver or abridgment of any rights under this Agreement.  The scope of services to be provided by BNYM 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 the Fund, unless the parties hereto expressly agree in writing to any such increase.

(d)           Captions.  The captions in this Agreement are included for conve­nience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any of the provi­sions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.

(e)           Information. The Fund will provide such information and documentation as BNYM may reasonably request in connection with services provided by BNYM to the Fund.

(f)            Governing Law.  This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract made in Delaware and governed by Delaware law, without regard to principles of conflicts of law.

(g)           Partial Invalidity.  If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby.

(h)           Parties in Interest.  This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except with respect to those certain provisions providing for rights of PFPC Trust or obligations of the Fund to PFPC Trust, and those certain provisions benefitting affiliates of the parties, this Agreement is not for the benefit of any other person or entity and (ii) there shall be no third party beneficiaries hereof.

(i)            No Representations or Warranties.  Except as expressly provided in this Agreement, BNYM hereby disclaims all representations and warranties, express or implied, made to the Fund or any other person, including, without limitation, any warranties regarding quality, suitability, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or otherwise (irrespective of any course of dealing, custom or usage of trade), of any services or any goods provided incidental to services provided under this Agreement.  BNYM disclaims any warranty of title or non-infringement except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.

(j)            Customer Identification Program Notice. To help the U.S. government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering activities, U.S. Federal law requires each financial institution to obtain, verify, and record certain information that identifies each person who initially opens an account with that financial institution on or after October 1, 2003. Certain of BNYM’s affiliates are financial institutions, and BNYM may, as a matter of policy, request (or may have already requested) the Fund’s name, address and taxpayer identification number or other government-issued identification number, and, if such party is a natural person, that party’s date of birth. BNYM may also ask (and may have already asked) for additional identifying information, and BNYM may take steps (and may have already taken steps) to verify the authenticity and accuracy of these data elements.

(k)           Use of "Fund".  In the event "Fund" as used in this Agreement refers to Series listed on Schedule B, notwithstanding such use, the Investment Company bears to the extent permitted by law all responsibilities, obligations, liabilities and duties of all such Series to the extent not performed by such Series.

 (l)           Additional Fund Adoption.  Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, if BNYM is requested orally or in writing to provide services under this Agreement to any additional new class, tier, Series or series of an investment company or fund that is a party to this Agreement or any additional investment company or fund ("Additional Fund"), and BNYM provides such services under this Agreement to such Additional Fund, then, from the date BNYM commences providing such services, such Additional Fund shall be deemed a party to and bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement with respect to all matters addressed herein even in the absence of a writing by such Additional Fund agreeing to be so bound by this Agreement.

(m)           Requests to Transfer Information to Third Parties.  In the event that the Fund, whether pursuant to Written Instructions or otherwise, requests or instructs BNYM to send, deliver, mail, transmit or otherwise transfer to a third party which is not a subcontractor of BNYM and which is not the DTCC, NSCC or other SEC-registered clearing corporation, or to make available to such a third party for retrieval from within the BNYM System, information which constitutes Confidential Information of the Fund or non-public personal information of current or former investors in the Fund:  BNYM may decline to provide the information requested on the terms contained in the request, but will in good faith discuss the request and attempt to accommodate the Fund with respect to the request, and BNYM will not be obligated to act on any such request unless it agrees in writing to the terms of the information transfer.  In the event BNYM so agrees in writing to transfer information or make it available within the BNYM System: the Fund shall pay a reasonable fee for such activities upon being invoiced for same by BNYM; BNYM shall have no liability or duty with respect to such information after it releases the information or makes it available within the BNYM System, provided BNYM has acted in accordance with its Standard of Care in executing the express instructions of the written information transfer request; and BNYM shall be entitled to the indemnification provided for at Section 12 in connection with the activities contemplated by any such written information transfer request.

(n)           Service Indemnifications; Survival.  Any indemnification provided to BNYM by the Fund in connection with any service provided under the Agreement, including by way of illustration and not limitation, indemnifications provided in connection with Non-Standard Instructions and indemnifications contained in any agreements regarding Exception Services ("Service Indemnifications"), shall survive any termination of this Agreement. In addition, Sections 4, 5, 7, 9(d), 9(f), 9(g), 11, 12 and provisions necessary to the interpretation of such Sections and any Service Indemnifications and the enforcement of rights conferred by any of the foregoing shall survive any termination of this Agreement.  In the event the Board of the Fund authorizes a liquidation of the Fund or termination of the Agreement, BNYM may require as a condition of any services provided in connection with such liquidation or termination that the Fund make provisions reasonably satisfactory to BNYM for the satisfaction of contingent liabilities outstanding at the time of the liquidation.

(o)           Further Actions.  Each party agrees to perform such further acts and execute such further documents as are necessary to effectuate the purposes hereof.

(a)           The provisions of this Schedule C shall apply in the event the Fund elects to receive Red Flags Services.  Section 3(e) of the Agreement together with this Schedule C is referred to collectively as the "Red Flags Section".

(b)           BNYM agrees, commencing as of the effective date of the Red Flags Requirements (as defined in Section (b) below) or the Execution Date, whichever is later, to provide the Fund with the "Red Flags Services", which is hereby defined to mean the following services:

(i) BNYM will maintain written controls reasonably designed to detect the occurrence of Red Flags (as defined below) in connection with (i) account opening and other account activities and transactions conducted directly through BNYM with respect to Direct Accounts (as defined below), and (ii) transactions effected directly through BNYM by Covered Persons (as defined below) in Covered Accounts (as defined below).  Such controls, as they may be revised from time to time hereunder, are referred to herein as the "Controls".  Solely for purposes of the Red Flags Section, the capitalized terms below will have the respective meaning ascribed to each:

(A) "Red Flag" means a pattern, practice, or specific activity or a combination of patterns, practices or specific activities which may indicate the possible existence of Identity Theft (as defined below) affecting a Registered Owner (as defined below) or a Covered Person.

(B) "Identity Theft" means a fraud committed or attempted using the identifying information of another person without authority.

(C) "Registered Owner" means the owner of record of a Direct Account on the books and records of the Fund maintained by BNYM as registrar of the Fund (the "Fund Registry").

(D) "Covered Person" means the owner of record of a Covered Account on the Fund Registry.

(E) "Direct Account" means an Account established directly with and through BNYM as a registered account on the Fund Registry and through which the owner of record has the ability to directly conduct account and transactional activity with and through BNYM..

(F) "Covered Account" means an Account established by a financial intermediary for another as the owner of record on the Fund Registry and through which such owner of record has the ability to conduct transactions in Fund shares directly with and through BNYM.

(G) "Account" means (1) an account holding Fund Shares with respect to which a natural person is the owner of record, and (2) any other account holding Fund Shares with respect to which there is a reasonably foreseeable risk to the particular account owner's customers from identity theft, including financial, operational, compliance, reputation, or litigation risks.

(ii) BNYM will provide the Fund with a printed copy of or Internet viewing access to the Controls.

(iii) BNYM will notify the Fund of Red Flags which it detects and reasonably determines to indicate a significant risk of Identity Theft to a Registered Owner or Covered Person ("Possible Identity Theft") and assist the Fund in determining the appropriate response of the Fund to the Possible Identity Theft.

(iv) BNYM will (A) engage an independent auditing firm or other similar firm of independent examiners to conduct an annual testing of the Controls and issue a report on the results of the testing (the "Audit Report"), and (B) furnish a copy of the Audit Report to the Fund; and

(v) Upon Fund request, issue a certification in a form determined to be appropriate by BNYM in its reasonable discretion, certifying to BNYM's continuing compliance with the Controls after the date of the most recent Audit Report.

(b)           The Fund agrees it is responsible for complying with and determining the applicability to the Fund of Section 114 of the Fair and Accurate Credit Transaction Act of 2003 and regulations promulgated thereunder by the Federal Trade Commission (the "Red Flags Requirements"), for determining the extent to which the Red Flags Services assist the Fund in complying with the Red Flags Requirements, and for furnishing any supplementation or augmentation to the Red Flags Services it determines to be appropriate, and that BNYM has given no advice and makes no representations with respect to such matters.  This Red Flags Section shall not be interpreted in any manner which imposes a duty on BNYM to act on behalf of the Fund or otherwise, including any duty to take any action upon the occurrence of a Red Flag, other than as expressly provided for in this Red Flags Section.  The Controls and the Red Flags Services may be changed at any time and from time to time by BNYM in its reasonable sole discretion to include commercially reasonable provisions appropriate to the Red Flags Requirements, as they may be constituted from time to time.  The Fund shall pay BNYM the fee for Red Flags Services as established by BNYM from time to time by written notice.  Other than the initial fee which shall be payable by the Fund commencing as of the date BNYM begins performing the Red Flags Services, the Fund shall be obligated to pay any revised fee commencing thirty (30) days after the Fund's receipt of such written notice (or a later date designated by BNYM in the notice), but in the event the Fund does not agree to a particular revised fee it shall have the right to terminate the Red Flags Services within the 30-day period following the effective date of such revised fee and provided such a termination becomes effective shall not be obligated to pay the revised fee.

(c)           Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement:

(i) BNYM shall not be liable under any theory of tort, contract, strict liability or other legal or equitable theory for lost profits, for exemplary, punitive, special, incidental, indirect or consequential damages, or for any other damages which are not direct damages regardless of whether such damages were or should have been foreseeable and regardless of whether any entity has been advised of the possibility of such damages, all and each of which damages is hereby excluded by agreement of the parties.  BNYM's cumulative, aggregate liability to the Fund for any and all losses, claims, suits, controversies, breaches or damages ("claims") for any cause whatsoever related to the terms of this Red Flags Section and regardless of the form of action or legal theory, the recovery of which is not otherwise excluded or barred by another provision of this Agreement, shall not exceed the greater of (i) $25,000, or (ii) fees received by BNYM for the Red Flags Services during the six (6) months immediately prior to the date of the last such claim, up to a maximum of $50,000.

(ii) In the event of a material breach of this Red Flags Section by BNYM, a Fund's sole and exclusive termination remedy shall be to terminate the Red Flags Services by complying with any notice and cure period provisions in the Agreement applicable to a material breach of the Agreement, but the Fund shall not be entitled to terminate any other provision of the Agreement. For purposes of clarification: The foregoing provision is not intended to restrict, modify or abrogate any remedy available to a Fund under another provision of the Agreement for a breach of the Red Flags Section by BNYM other than the termination remedy.
