License
of Data; Warranty; Termination of Rights
USBFS
has
entered into an agreement with FT Interactive ("FTI") which obligates USBFS
to
include the following provisions in this Agreement.
A.
|
FTI
AND ITS SUPPLIERS MAKE NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AS TO
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS OR ANY OTHER
MATTER.
|
B.
|
Company
agrees that FTI and its suppliers shall have no liability to Company,
or a
third party, for errors, omissions or malfunctions in the services
it
provides to USBFS, other than the obligation of FTI to endeavor upon
receipt of notice from Company, 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.
|
C.
|
Company
acknowledges that the services provided by FTI 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. Company accepts responsibility for,
and
acknowledges it exercises its own independent judgment in, its selection
of the services provided by FTI 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.
|
D.
|
Company
shall indemnify FTI and its suppliers and hold FTI harmless from
any and
all losses, damages, liability, costs, including attorneys' fees,
resulting directly or indirectly from any claim or demand against
FTI or
its suppliers by a third party arising out of or related to the accuracy
or completeness of any services provided by FTI to USBFS that are
received
by Company, or any data, information, service, report, analysis or
publication derived therefrom; provided, however, the Company shall
have
no obligation to indemnify FTI for any such loss, damage, liability
or
cost to the extent it arises directly from FTI's willful misconduct.
The
Company agrees that neither FTI nor its suppliers shall be liable
for any
claim or demand against Company 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.
|
E.
|
Notwithstanding
the language provided in Section 3 herein, USBFS is in no way absolved
from any duties and responsibilities set forth in Section 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 Company for any payments
made by Company for services contained in this paragraph E, that
USBFS
fails to perform.
|
4
F.
|
Neither
Company, nor FTI, 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.
|
G.
|
Company
acknowledges that FTI's third party data suppliers may have the right
to
cause the termination of USBFS' provision of FTI's services to Company,
with or without notice, and that neither any third party data supplier
nor
FTI 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.
|
H.
|
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.
|
I.
|
In
the event that Company at any time receives data from FTI 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 FTI, may consistently
generate
approximations that correspond to actual "traded" prices of the
instruments; (ii) FTI's methodologies used to provide the pricing
portion of certain data may rely on evaluations; however, Company
acknowledges that there may be errors or defects in FTI's software,
databases, or methodologies that may cause resultant evaluations
to be
inappropriate for use in certain applications; and (iii) Company
assumes 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 FTI
used in
Company's applications, regardless of any efforts made by FTI in
this
respect. USBFS shall immediately notify Company that an evaluation
or
evaluations have been used rather than market
quotations.

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
Company 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., telecommunication charges, postage and delivery
charges, and reproduction charges) as are reasonably incurred by USBFS in
performing its duties hereunder. The Company 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
Company shall notify USBFS in writing within 30 calendar days following receipt
of each invoice if the Company is disputing any amounts in good faith. The
Company shall pay such disputed amounts within 10 calendar days of the day
on
which the parties agree to the amount to be paid. With the exception of any
fee
or expense the Company is disputing in good faith as set forth above, unpaid
invoices shall accrue a finance charge of 1½% per month after the due date.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, amounts owed by the Company to USBFS
shall only be paid out of the assets and property of the particular Fund
involved.

The
Company, on behalf of itself and its directors, officers, and employees,
will maintain the confidential and proprietary nature of the Data

reasonable efforts, that it uses to protect its own proprietary and
confidential information.

USBFS
shall keep records relating to the services to be performed hereunder in the
form and manner, and for such period, as it may deem advisable and is agreeable

appropriate government authorities, in particular, Section 31 of the 1940 Act
and the rules thereunder. USBFS agrees that all such records prepared or
maintained by USBFS relating to the services to be performed by USBFS hereunder
are the property of the Company and will be preserved, maintained, and made

thereto.

USBFS, USBFS will promptly, upon such termination and at the expense of the
Company, transfer to such successor all relevant books, records, correspondence
and other data established or maintained by USBFS under this Agreement in a

associated with transferring the data to such form), and will cooperate in
the
transfer of such duties and responsibilities, including provision for assistance
