3.	License of Data; Warranty; Termination of Rights; Pricing of Securities

USBFS has entered into an agreement with Interactive Data Corporation (“IDC”) which obligates USBFS to include the following provisions in this Agreement.

IDC AND ITS SUPPLIERS MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR ANY OTHER MATTER.

Companies agree that IDC and its suppliers shall have no liability to the Companies, or a third party, for errors, omissions or malfunctions in the services it provides to USBFS, other than the obligation of IDC to endeavor upon receipt of notice from the Companies, to correct a malfunction, error or omission in any such service. This paragraph shall not have any affect upon the standard of care and liability of USBFS has set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement.

Companies acknowledge that the services provided by IDC or its suppliers to USBFS are intended for use as an aid to institutional investors, registered brokers or professionals of similar sophistication in making informed judgments concerning securities. Companies accept responsibility for, and acknowledge they exercise their own independent judgment in, its selection of the services provided by IDC to USBFS, its selection of the use or intended use of such, and any results obtained. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a waiver of any rights existing under applicable law for the protection of investors.

Companies shall indemnify IDC and its suppliers and hold IDC harmless from any and all losses, damages, liability, costs, including attorneys’ fees, resulting directly or indirectly from any claim or demand against IDC or its suppliers by a third party arising out of or related to the accuracy or completeness of any services provided by IDC to USBFS that are received by the Companies, or any data, information, service, report, analysis or publication derived therefrom. The Companies agree that neither IDC nor its suppliers shall be liable for any claim or demand against the Companies by any third party. The immediately preceding sentence shall not have any effect upon the standard of care and liability of USBFS as set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement.

Notwithstanding the language provided in Section (3) herein, USBFS is in no way absolved from any duties and responsibilities set forth in Section two (2) of this Agreement, including performing tolerance checks, reviewing the current day’s activities on a per-share basis and reviewing changes in market value. For instance, USBFS will review daily exception reports to examine securities which exceed set tolerance levels and check those identified securities against a secondary source to confirm the change is due to normal business activity. USBFS shall reimburse the Companies for any payments made by the Companies for services contained in this paragraph F herein, that USBFS fails to perform.

Neither Companies, nor IDC, shall be liable for (i) any special, direct or consequential damages (even if advised of the possibility of such), (ii) any delay by reason of circumstances beyond its control, including acts of civil or military authority, national emergencies, labor difficulties, fire, mechanical breakdown, flood or catastrophe, acts of God, insurrection, war, riots, or failure beyond its control of transportation or power supply, or (iii) any claim that arose more than one year prior to the institution of suit thereof.

Companies acknowledge that IDC’s third party data suppliers may have the right to cause the termination of USBFS’ provision of IDC’s services to Companies, with or without notice, and that neither any third party data supplier nor IDC shall have any liability in connection therewith. This paragraph shall not have any effect upon the standard of care and liability of USBFS as set forth in Section 8 of this Agreement.

For each valuation date, USBFS shall obtain prices from a pricing source recommended by USBFS and approved by the Board of Directors and apply those prices to the portfolio positions of the Fund. For those securities where market quotations are not readily available, the Board of Directors shall approve, in good faith, procedures for determining the fair value for such securities.

In the event that Companies at any time receive data from IDC containing evaluations, rather than market quotations, for certain securities or certain other data related to such securities, the following provisions will apply: (i) evaluated securities are typically complicated financial instruments. There are many methodologies (including computer-based analytical modeling and individual security evaluations) available to generate approximations of the market value of such securities, and there is professional disagreement about which is best. No evaluation method, including those used by IDC, may consistently generate approximations that correspond to actual “traded” prices of the instruments; (ii) IDC’s methodologies used to provide the pricing portion of certain data may rely on evaluations; however, Companies acknowledge that there may be errors or defects in IDC’s software, databases, or methodologies that may cause resultant evaluations to be inappropriate for use in certain applications; and (iii) Companies assume all responsibility for edit checking, external verification of evaluations, and ultimately the appropriateness of the use of evaluations and other pricing data provided via the services provided by IDC used in Companies’ applications, regardless of any efforts made by IDC in this respect. USBFS shall immediately notify Companies that an evaluation or evaluations have been used rather than market quotations. Companies shall indemnify and hold IDC completely harmless in the event that errors, defects, or inappropriate evaluations are made available via the services or data provided by IDC.

4.	Changes in Accounting Procedures

Any resolution passed by the Board of Directors that affects accounting practices and procedures under this Agreement shall be effective upon written receipt of notice and acceptance by USBFS.

5.	Changes in Equipment, Systems, Etc.

USBFS reserves the right to make changes from time to time, as it deems advisable, relating to its systems, programs, rules, operating schedules and equipment, so long as such changes do not adversely affect the services provided to the Companies under this Agreement.

6.	Compensation

USBFS shall be compensated for providing the services set forth in this Agreement in accordance with the fee schedule set forth on Exhibit B hereto (as amended from time to time). USBFS shall also be compensated for such out-of-pocket expenses (e.g., postage and delivery charges) as are reasonably incurred by USBFS in performing its duties hereunder. The Companies shall pay all such fees and reimbursable expenses within 30 calendar days following receipt of the billing notice, except for any fee or expense subject to a good faith dispute. The Companies shall notify USBFS in writing within 30 calendar days following receipt of each invoice if the Companies are disputing any amounts in good faith. The Companies shall pay such disputed amounts within 10 calendar days of the day on which the parties agree to the amount to be paid. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, amounts owed by the Companies to USBFS shall only be paid out of the assets and property of the particular Fund involved.
