NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

1. Appointment. The Fund hereby appoints the Administrator to provide certain clerical, accounting, administrative, legal, compliance and other services to the Fund, and as such to furnish the services set forth in paragraph 2 below, and the Administrator accepts such appointment and agrees that it will furnish such services.

(k) oversee compliance by the Fund with any restrictions or requirements to which the Fund is subject pursuant to its registration statement, Declaration of Trust and By-Laws and applicable federal and state law, including the Investment Company Act of 1940, the Securities Act of 1933 and the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, all as amended; and

(l) perform such other services not constituting managing the investment and reinvestment of the Fund’s assets as the Fund may from time to time request.

All services to be furnished by the Administrator may be furnished through the medium of any directors, officers or employees of the Administrator or its affiliates. The Fund shall pay to the Administrator or its affiliates the cost of personnel and all related overhead for rendering such services at such rates as shall from time to time be agreed upon between us, and any payment shall be subject to approval by the Fund’s Board of Trustees. Any amount owed to the Administrator by the Fund pursuant to this section shall be payable on the last day of the calendar month in which services were performed hereunder. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to restrict the Fund’s right to retain another party to provide any of the services enumerated in this paragraph 2.

3. Compliance with the Fund’s Governing Documents and Applicable Law. In all matters relating to the performance of this Agreement, the Administrator will act in

conformity with the Declaration of Trust, By-Laws and registration statements of the Fund and with the directions of the Fund’s Board of Trustees and Fund executive officers and will conform to and comply with the requirements of the 1940 Act and all other applicable federal or state laws and regulations.

4. Service Not Exclusive. Except to the extent necessary to perform the Administrator’s obligations under this Agreement, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict the Administrator’s right, or the right of any of the Administrator’s employees, or any of the officers or directors of AllianceBernstein Corporation, the Administrator’s general partner, or persons otherwise affiliated with the Fund (within the meaning of the 1940 Act) to engage in any other business or to devote time and attention to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature, or to render service of any kind to any other trust, corporation, firm, individual or association.

5. Limitation of Liability of the Administrator. The Fund shall expect of the Administrator, and the Administrator will give the Fund the benefit of, the Administrator’s best judgment and efforts in rendering these services to the Fund, and the Fund agrees as an inducement to the Administrator’s undertaking these services that the Administrator shall not be liable under this Agreement for any mistake of judgment or in any event whatsoever, except for lack of good faith, provided that nothing herein shall be deemed to protect, or purport to protect, the Administrator against any liability to the Fund or to the Fund’s security holders to which the Administrator would otherwise be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of the Administrator’s duties under this Agreement, or by reason of the Administrator’s reckless disregard of the Administrator’s obligations and duties under this Agreement.

6. Assignment. This Agreement may not be transferred, assigned, sold or in any manner hypothecated or pledged by the Administrator and this Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of any such transfer, assignment, sale, hypothecation or pledge by the Administrator. The term “transfer”, “assignment” and “sale” as used in this paragraph shall have the meanings ascribed hereto by governing law and any interpretation thereof contained in rules or regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission thereunder.

7. Duration and Termination. This Agreement shall become effective on the date set forth above. Upon the effectiveness of this Agreement, it shall supersede all previous agreements between the Fund and the Administrator covering the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by either party, without the payment of any penalty, on 60 days’ written notice to the other party.
