FUND ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION
SERVICES AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the 1^st day of October, 2007 (the “Effective Date”) by and between MELLON BANK, N.A. (referred to herein as “Mellon”), a national banking association having its principal place of business at 000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, and each investment company listed on Schedule A (referred to herein, individually, as a “Fund” and, collectively, as the “Funds”), having its principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000.

WHEREAS, each Fund is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”), and is classified as an open-end management investment company, unless otherwise noted;

WHEREAS, Mellon is engaged in the fund accounting and financial administration services business; and

WHEREAS, each Fund desires that Mellon perform the fund accounting, financial administration and related services described in this Agreement for the Fund, and Mellon is willing to perform such services on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in exchange for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, each Fund and Mellon agree as follows:

1. Services

X. Xxxxxx shall perform for each Fund and its series (including all share classes) listed in Schedule A to this Agreement, the fund accounting, financial administration and related services set forth in Schedule B to this Agreement (“Services”). Mellon and a Fund may mutually agree to add or delete a Fund series and/or class, which must be evidenced by amending Schedule A. Each existing and future series of a Fund (including all share classes) covered by this Agreement is individually and collectively referred to as a “Portfolio.” Mellon may perform other services for each Fund only upon terms, conditions and compensation that Mellon and each Fund mutually agree to, as evidenced by an amendment to this Agreement or Schedule X.

X. Xxxxxx may enter into additional agreements with each Fund or its designated service provider from time to time with respect to: (i) certain operational functions that Mellon will perform in connection with this Agreement; and (ii) performance measures pursuant to which Mellon will be expected to provide the Services (the “Service Level Documents”). The Service Level Documents will be designed to provide operational guidance and performance metrics information that may be used by each Fund and Mellon to assist in the delivery of the Services and to measure Mellon’s performance in providing the Services. Each Fund and Mellon agree that the Service Level Documents will reflect the division of operational functions between or among each Fund, its agents and Mellon, and specific performance measures for Mellon, rather than imposing specific contractual obligations under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) Mellon’s material and systemic failure to perform its operational functions or to satisfy the performance measures pursuant to the Service Level Documents may be considered a material breach of the “For Cause” provisions described in Section 3.B of this Agreement; (ii) the Service Level Documents may provide remedies for the failure to satisfy the operational functions or performance measures contemplated thereunder that are separate and apart from any right that each Fund or Mellon may exercise under this Agreement; and (iii) Mellon’s performance or non-performance of the Services, separate and apart from the operational functions and performance measures reflected in any Service Level Document, may give rise to any remedies that each Fund may assert against Mellon under the terms of this Agreement.

Delaware Funds

X. Xxxxxx'x present intention is to utilize the Eagle STAR/PACE platform as its fund accounting platform, with the understanding of the parties that Mellon reserves the right to utilize other accounting platform(s) that allow(s) Mellon to perform the Services at a quality and level equivalent to the quality and level set forth in the Service Level Documents. Mellon shall be responsible for the costs and expenses incurred by Mellon and the Funds for converting from the Eagle STAR/PACE platform to other accounting platform(s) in accordance with this subparagraph C.

2. Compensation and Expenses

A. In return for performing the Services, the Funds shall compensate Mellon as set forth in this Section and in Schedule C to this Agreement. Fees due will be accrued daily. If this Agreement is lawfully terminated before the end of any month, fees shall be calculated on a pro rated basis through the date of termination and shall be due upon the Agreement’s termination date.

B. Each Fund will pay all of its own expenses that are incurred in the Fund’s operation and not specifically assumed by Mellon. Expenses to be borne by each Fund include, but are not limited to: pricing, security and other similar data information vendor services; organizational expenses; costs of services of the Fund’s independent registered public accounting firm (“Independent Accountant”) and the Fund’s outside legal and tax counsel (including such counsel’s review of the Fund’s registration statement, proxy materials, federal and state tax qualification as a regulated investment company and any review of reports and materials prepared by Mellon under this Agreement); costs of any services contracted for by the Fund directly from parties other than Mellon; trade association dues; costs of trading operations and brokerage fees, commissions and transfer taxes in connection with the purchase and sale of securities for the Fund; investment advisory fees; taxes; Fund insurance premiums and other Fund insurance-related fees and expenses applicable to its operation; costs incidental to any meetings of shareholders, including, but not limited to, legal and auditor fees, proxy filing fees and the costs of printing and mailing of any proxy materials; costs incidental to Fund board meetings, including fees and expenses of Fund board members, but excluding costs specifically assumed by Mellon; the salary and expenses of any officer, director/trustee or employee of the Fund who is not also a Mellon employee; registration fees, filing fees, and costs incidental to the preparation, typesetting, printing and/or distribution, as applicable, of the Fund’s registration statements on Forms X-0X, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, and N-14, as applicable, and any amendments thereto, shareholder reports on Form N-CSR, Form N-SARs, Form N-Q, Form N-PX, tax returns, and all notices, registrations and amendments associated with applicable federal and state tax and securities laws; and other expenses properly payable by the Fund.

Delaware Funds

C. Each Fund agrees to reimburse Mellon for its actual out-of-pocket expenses in providing the Services, including without limitation, the following:

(i) the electronic transmission expenses incurred by Mellon in communicating with such Fund, such Fund’s investment advisers (which term, for purposes of this Agreement, shall be interpreted to include any sub-advisers) or custodian, dealers or others as required for Mellon to perform the Services, if an Authorized Person requests such electronic transmission and provides Mellon with prior written approval;

(ii) the costs of creating microfilm, microfiche or electronic copies of such Fund’s records, and the costs of storage of paper and electronic copies of such Fund’s records; provided, that Mellon must obtain the prior written approval of an Authorized Person if such costs for the Fund exceed $7,500 in any calendar year;

(iii) the charges for services provided by vendors set forth in Schedule D;

(iv) any additional expenses incurred by Mellon at the written direction of an Authorized Person;

(v) any additional expenses reasonably incurred by Mellon in the performance of the Services, provided that, (a) if any individual expense is less than $1,000, Mellon shall provide prior written notice to such Fund to the extent practicable, and (b) if any individual expense is $1,000 or more, Mellon must obtain the prior written approval of an Authorized Person of the Fund; and

(vi) in the event that Mellon is requested or authorized by such Fund or is required by law, summons, subpoena, investigation, examination or other legal or regulatory process to produce documents or personnel with respect to the Services, and so long as Mellon is not the subject of the investigation or proceeding in question, such Fund will reimburse Mellon for its actual out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in responding to these requests. In addition, when non-routine, extensive or extraordinary productions or investigations occur, Mellon will notify such Fund (as soon as reasonably practicable) and such Fund will reimburse Mellon for its personnel’s professional time (at Mellon’s standard billing rates or other mutually agreed upon rates).

X. Xxxxxx shall be entitled to receive the following amounts:

(i) Any systems development and project fees for new or enhanced products or services requested by a Fund (including significant enhancements required by regulatory changes), and all systems-related expenses associated with the provision of special reports and services, in each case as agreed upon in advance by an Authorized Person; and

(ii) Ad hoc reporting fees billed at an agreed upon rate.

Delaware Funds

X. Xxxxxx will xxxx each Fund on a monthly basis for the fees and expenses owed to Mellon by such Fund under this Agreement. The monthly xxxx shall be set forth on a detailed invoice in a form mutually agreed upon by Mellon and the Funds. Mellon shall send such invoice to each Fund no later than fifteen (15) days after the last day of each month; provided, however, that the failure by Mellon to do so shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement. Each Fund shall pay such invoice within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such invoice by such Fund. Any undisputed fees or expenses that are not paid by a Fund within the required time frame shall be subject to a late fee of 1.5% of the amount billed for each month that such fees or expenses remain unpaid, and the late fee shall be due and payable upon demand. No Fund shall dispute the minimum fees set forth in Schedule C. If any fees over and above the minimum fees set forth in Schedule C or any expenses are disputed by a Fund, Mellon and such Fund shall work together in good faith to resolve the dispute promptly.

X. Xxxxxx will assume responsibility for the costs of its ordinary and necessary office facilities (including telephone, telephone transmission, and telecopy expenses), equipment and personnel to perform the Services, including the compensation of its employees who serve as Fund trustees, directors or officers. In the event that Mellon is the subject of an examination, subpoena, investigation, proceeding or legal or regulatory process relating to the Services it provides to a Fund (“Mellon Services Inquiry”), and if Mellon requests that the Fund provide, or if the Fund is required by law, summons, subpoena, investigation, examination or other legal or regulatory process, to produce documents or personnel with respect to the Services, then Mellon will reimburse the Fund for its actual out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in responding to these requests. Furthermore, if the Mellon Services Inquiry is non-routine, extensive or extraordinary, then Mellon will reimburse the Fund for its personnel’s professional time at mutually agreed upon rates.

3. Length and Termination of Agreement

A. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and continue for an initial term of seven (7) years (the “Initial Term”). Unless otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms, Mellon shall either (i) request that this Agreement be extended for an additional five (5) year period, or (ii) indicate that this Agreement will be terminated upon the expiration of the Initial Term or a Renewal Term (as the case may be), in either case by sending a written notice of its intent to the Fund no later than three (3) months prior to the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date of the Initial Term or the third anniversary of the effective date of a Renewal Term (as the case may be). If Mellon requests that this Agreement be extended for an additional five (5) year period and the Fund does not reject such request in writing to Mellon by the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date of the Initial Term or the fourth anniversary of the effective date of a Renewal Term (as the case may be), this Agreement shall be extended for an additional five (5) year period (a “Renewal Term”). If either (a) Mellon indicates that this Agreement will be terminated upon the expiration of the Initial Term or a Renewal Term (as the case may be) by sending a written notice of its intent to the Fund no later than three (3) months prior to the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date of the Initial Term or the third anniversary of the effective date of a Renewal Term (as the case may be), or (b) the Fund responds to Mellon’s request to extend for an additional five (5) year period by rejecting such request in writing to Mellon no later than the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date of the Initial Term or the fourth anniversary of the effective date of a Renewal Term (as the case may be), this Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the Initial Term or such Renewal Term (as the case may be).

(v) Termination of Custody Agreement: Mellon may terminate this Agreement with respect to a Fund if such Fund terminates its custody agreement with Mellon or any of its affiliates following either (a) a change in such Fund’s investment adviser (other than a change in such Fund’s investment adviser to another investment adviser that is under common ownership with such Fund’s investment adviser or its successor) or (b) a sale (whether by a merger or a sale of the stock or assets) of such Fund’s investment adviser (other than a sale of such Fund’s investment adviser to another entity that is under common ownership with such Fund’s investment adviser or its successor) or its parent company, by providing such Fund with written notice of such termination at least 60 days prior to the date of termination of this Agreement with respect to such Fund (which termination date will be extended by Mellon if, but only if and to the same extent that, the date of termination of its custody agreement is extended by such Fund).

If either (i) the Funds terminate this Agreement during the Initial Term for any reason other than those specified in paragraph B. above, or (ii) Mellon terminates this Agreement during the Initial Term “For Cause” or the Funds’ “failure to pay” under subparagraphs B(iii) or B(iv) of this Section, respectively, then the Funds shall make a one-time cash payment (a “Termination Fee”) to Mellon on the effective date of such termination in an amount equal to (w) $11,000,000 if the effective date of the termination of this Agreement is in the first two years of the Initial Term, (x) $8,200,000 if the effective date of the termination of this Agreement is in the third year of the Initial Term, (y) $5,500,000 if the effective date of the termination of this Agreement is in the fourth year of the Initial Term, or (z) $2,700,000 if the effective date of the termination of this Agreement is in the last three years of the Initial Term. In addition, the Funds shall reimburse Mellon promptly for any actual, provable, extraordinary, non-customary and direct costs and expenses (other than any Costs and Expenses) incurred by Mellon in connection with effecting such termination and converting the Funds to a successor service provider, including without limitation the delivery to such successor service provider, the Funds and/or other Funds’ service providers any of the Funds’ property, records, data, instruments and documents.

Delaware Funds

The parties acknowledge and agree that, upon the occurrence of any of such events giving rise to a Termination Fee: (i) a determination of actual damages incurred by Mellon would be extremely difficult, (ii) the Termination Fee is intended to adequately compensate Mellon for damages incurred and is not intended to constitute any form of penalty, and (iii) the Termination Fee is intended to include the Costs and Expenses incurred by Mellon in connection with effecting such termination and converting the Fund to a successor service provider, including, without limitation, the delivery to such successor service provider, the Fund and/or other Fund service providers any of the Fund’s property, records, data, instruments and documents. The parties further acknowledge and agree that, upon the occurrence of a significant change in the number of Funds or Portfolios during the Initial Term, they will discuss in good faith a possible adjustment to the Termination Fee; provided, however, that no party shall be obligated to agree to any such adjustment.

E. If either (i) Mellon terminates this Agreement with respect to a Fund at any time for any reason other than those specified in paragraph B. above, or (ii) a Fund terminates this Agreement with respect to such Fund at any time “For Cause” under subparagraph B(iii) of this Section, then Mellon shall reimburse such Fund for any Costs and Expenses incurred by such Fund in connection with converting such Fund to a successor service provider, including without limitation the delivery to such successor service provider, such Fund and/or other Fund’s service providers any of such Fund’s property, records, data, instruments and documents.

F. If this Agreement is terminated (i) by Mellon and/or the Funds, as the case may be, at any time for “nonrenewal” or “upon mutual agreement” under subparagraphs B(i) and B(ii), respectively, (ii) by Mellon at any time for “termination of custody” under subparagraph B(v), (iii) by the Funds at any time after the Initial Term for any reason other than those specified in paragraph B above, or (iv) by Mellon at any time after the Initial Term “For Cause” or the Funds’ “failure to pay” under subparagraphs B(iii) or B(iv) of this Section, respectively, the Funds shall reimburse Mellon promptly for any Costs and Expenses incurred by Mellon in connection with effecting such termination and converting the Funds to a successor service provider, including without limitation the delivery to such successor service provider, the Funds and/or other Funds’ service providers any of the Funds’ property, records, data, instruments and documents.

G. For purposes of this Section 3, “Costs and Expenses” incurred by a party shall mean any actual, provable, reasonable, customary and direct costs and expenses incurred by such party. For purposes of this Section 3, Costs and Expenses shall not include any wind-down costs, including, without limitation, non-cancelable lease payments; severance payments due and payable to personnel of Mellon or its Subcontractors that were not engaged by Mellon at the instruction of a Fund or the Funds; unused equipment expense; and non-cancelable payments or termination charges regarding hosting and other subcontracting services that were not incurred at the instruction of a Fund or the Funds and that cannot be transferred or redeployed by Mellon. For purposes of this Agreement, “Subcontractor” shall include any third party, whether affiliated or unaffiliated with Mellon, engaged by Mellon in connection with the performance of the Services.

Delaware Funds

Such party must provide the other party with written evidence of such costs and expenses before the other party is obligated to pay them. Such party also has a duty to mitigate, and must exercise its duty to mitigate, such costs and expenses. Except as expressly set forth in Sections 3 and 9 and Schedule C, no party hereto shall be responsible for any costs and expenses or damages of any kind whatsoever resulting from, related to or otherwise in connection with the termination of this Agreement.

H. In the event that this Agreement is terminated by a party or the parties, as the case may be, the parties hereto agree to cooperate and act in good faith to ensure an orderly conversion of the applicable Fund or Funds to a successor service provider with respect to the Services provided under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, Mellon agrees that, in the event this Agreement is terminated by a party or the parties, it will deliver a Fund’s or the Funds’ property, records, data, instruments and documents to such Fund or the Funds, its or their successor service providers and/or its or their other service providers, as the case may be, in a non-proprietary, commercially-available format.

I. The termination of this Agreement with respect to any given Fund or Portfolio shall in no way affect the continued validity of this Agreement with respect to any other Fund or Portfolio. Furthermore, if, following termination of this Agreement with respect to any given Fund or Portfolio, Mellon continues to perform any one or more of the Services with the express consent of such Fund or Portfolio, then the provisions of this Agreement, including without limitation the provisions dealing with indemnification and compensation, shall continue in full force and effect.

4. Amendments, Assignment and Delegation

A modification of this Agreement (which term includes all Schedules) will be effective only if in writing and signed by the affected parties. No party shall assign the rights or delegate the duties, or outsource a significant portion of the Services, pursuant to this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party or parties, except as follows:

(i) Mellon may employ such person or persons it may deem desirable to assist it in performing the Services without notice to a Fund;

(ii) Mellon shall provide written notice to each affected Fund before Mellon engages an unaffiliated third party to provide significant services or functions to assist Mellon in performing the Services under this Agreement;

(iii) Mellon may delegate one or more of the functions or assign this Agreement to any direct or indirect majority-owned subsidiary of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation or its successor with timely notice to the affected Fund; and

(iv) A Fund merger or reorganization that does not result in a change in such Fund’s investment adviser and where the fund surviving from such merger or reorganization assumes the duties and obligations of such Fund under this Agreement shall not require Mellon’s consent.

Delaware Funds

With respect to (i), (ii) and (iii) above, Mellon shall (a) be responsible for the acts or omissions of such persons, third parties and subsidiaries to the same extent as Mellon’s own acts or omissions under this Agreement, (b) be responsible for the compensation of such persons, third parties and subsidiaries, and (c) not be relieved of any of its responsibilities under this Agreement by virtue of the use of such persons, third parties and subsidiaries. However, if a Fund instructs Mellon to engage a Subcontractor for the performance of any of the Services, Mellon will not be responsible for any acts or omissions by, or compensation payable to, such Subcontractor.

This Agreement shall be binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THERE ARE NO EXPRESS OR IMPLIED REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES AS TO THE SERVICES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR THE PERFORMANCE THEREOF, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OF THE SERVICES (IRRESPECTIVE OF ANY COURSE OF DEALING, CUSTOM OR USAGE OF TRADE).

8. Standard of Care

Mellon shall act in good faith and exercise reasonable care in performing the Services under this Agreement.

In that regard, Mellon shall have no responsibility for the actions or activities of any other party, including service providers, except as provided in Section 4.

9. Indemnification and Limitation of Liability

A. Except as set forth in subparagraph F. below, Mellon will not be liable to a Fund for any loss incurred by the Fund as a result of any error of judgment, mistake of law, act or omission in the course of, or in connection with the Services rendered by, Mellon under the Agreement in the absence of fraud, negligence or willful misconduct of Mellon or the reckless disregard of its duties under the Agreement.

B. Except as set forth in subparagraph F. below, Mellon agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless each Fund, its trustees, directors, officers, employees, agents and nominees and their respective successors and permitted assigns from and against claims, demands, actions, suits, judgments, liabilities, losses, fines, damages, costs, charges, and counsel fees (collectively, “Losses”) resulting directly and proximately from Mellon’s fraud, negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of the Services, or reckless disregard of its duties under this Agreement.

E. Each indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate in the defense at its own expense, or assume the defense, of any suit brought to enforce any claims subject to this indemnity provision. If the indemnifying party or parties elect to assume the defense, it shall be conducted by counsel of their choosing that is reasonably satisfactory to each indemnified party; each indemnified party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel it retains. If the indemnifying party or parties do not elect to assume the defense of such suit, they will reimburse each indemnified party for the reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel each indemnified party retains, which is reasonably satisfactory to such indemnifying party or parties. The indemnifying party or parties shall not effect any settlement without the consent of each indemnified party (which shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably) unless such settlement imposes no liability, responsibility or other obligation upon the indemnified party or parties and relieves them of all fault.

X. Xxxxxx agrees to reimburse each Fund or its shareholders (including former shareholders) for any losses and reasonable reprocessing costs incurred by such Fund or its shareholders (including former shareholders) resulting directly and proximately from Mellon’s negligence in calculating the net asset value per share ("NAV") for such Fund. Mellon's responsibility for reimbursing such Funds or its shareholders (including former shareholders) will be in accordance with and subject to the Funds' policies and procedures for addressing NAV errors set forth in the appropriate Service Level Document, including without limitation a materiality threshold of one (unrounded) whole cent per share per NAV error (or such other materiality threshold as agreed upon by the parties in the appropriate Service Level Document).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties acknowledge and agree that (i) Mellon will obtain and rely (without independent verification) upon prices and quotes from authorized pricing, data and fair valuation information vendors as identified in Schedule D or otherwise authorized under this Agreement, and (ii) Mellon will be without liability or responsibility for any errors or loss occasioned by such reliance on such vendors or any errors caused by or attributable to such vendors, subject to Mellon’s material compliance with the tolerance checks set forth in the appropriate Service Level Document.

G. Each party shall have a duty to mitigate damages for which the other party or parties may become responsible. NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT TO THE CONTRARY, IN NO EVENT SHALL A FUND, MELLON, THEIR AFFILIATES OR ANY OF ITS OR THEIR TRUSTEES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS OR SUBCONTRACTORS BE LIABLE FOR EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ATTORNEYS’ FEES), LOSS OF BUSINESS, OR LOST PROFITS, EACH OF WHICH IS HEREBY EXCLUDED BY AGREEMENT OF THE PARTIES REGARDLESS OF WHETHER SUCH DAMAGES WERE FORESEEABLE OR WHETHER EITHER PARTY OR ANY ENTITY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

10. Books and Records, Disclosure, Retention, and Rights of Ownership

X. Xxxxxx shall maintain on behalf of each Fund all books and records which are customary or which are legally required to be kept in connection with Mellon’s performance of Services, including without limitation those required by Rules 31a-1 and 31a-2 under the 1940 Act (“Records”). Mellon will prepare and maintain the Records at each Fund’s expense, and the Records shall be the Fund’s property. Mellon will make the Records available for inspection by the SEC, including giving the SEC access to the Records, and otherwise surrender the Records promptly in accordance with Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act. Mellon will allow a Fund and its authorized persons and representatives to review the Records during Mellon’s normal business hours or, upon reasonable notice, at such other reasonable times as the Fund may request.

X. Xxxxxx shall keep the Records confidential, except when: (i) disclosure is required by law, (ii) Mellon is advised by counsel that it may incur liability for failure to make a disclosure, (iii) Mellon is requested to divulge such information by duly-constituted authorities or court process, or (iv) as requested or authorized by the affected Fund (including pursuant to its policies and procedures regarding selective disclosure of non-public portfolio information). Mellon shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide reasonable advance notice to each affected Fund and its administrator of requests for disclosure pursuant to items (i) – (iii) of the previous sentence, and to the extent reasonably practicable to secure instructions as to such inspection, but shall not be deemed to violate the confidentiality provisions of this Section or Section 11 if Mellon discloses such Records upon reasonable belief that it is obliged to do so by applicable law or regulatory authority.

C. Upon and subject to payment of any undisputed and unpaid amounts owed to Mellon under this Agreement, Mellon may at its option at any time after termination of this Agreement, and shall promptly upon a Fund’s demand or upon termination of this Agreement, turn over to the Fund or its designated agent, and cease to retain in Mellon’s files, any Records created and maintained by Mellon pursuant to this Agreement which are no longer needed by Mellon in the performance of the Services or for its legal protection. If not so turned over to the Fund, such Records will be retained by Mellon, at the expense of the Fund (which shall be equal to the actual costs incurred by Mellon), for at least six (6) calendar years from the year of creation or for such other period of time as is required under applicable law. At the end of such period, such Records will be turned over to the Fund unless the Fund authorizes in writing the destruction of such Records.

D. Notwithstanding the foregoing, all computer programs, systems and procedures employed or developed by or on behalf of Mellon, or on behalf of Mellon by system providers or vendors used by Mellon, to perform the Services that are not Records are the sole and exclusive property of Mellon.

11. Confidential Information; Trade Names, Trademarks and Service Marks.

A. “Confidential Information” of a party shall be maintained confidential by any other party, and shall include: (a) any data or information that is competitively sensitive material, and not generally known to the public, including, but not limited to, information about product plans, marketing strategies, finances, operations, customer relationships, customer profiles, customer lists, sales estimates, business plans, and internal performance results relating to the past, present or future business activities of a Fund or Mellon, their respective subsidiaries and affiliated companies and the customers, clients and suppliers of any of them; (b) any scientific or technical information, design, process, procedure, formula, or improvement that is commercially valuable and secret in the sense that its confidentiality affords the Fund or Mellon a competitive advantage over its competitors; (c) all confidential or proprietary concepts, documentation, reports, data, specifications, computer software, source code, object code, flow charts, databases, inventions, know-how, and trade secrets, whether or not patentable or copyrightable; (d) non-public portfolio holdings information of the Fund; and (e) anything designated as confidential. Mellon shall maintain adequate safeguards to prevent the use of each Fund’s non-public portfolio holdings information by Mellon, its employees and affiliates for any purpose other than performing the Services under this Agreement. Mellon also shall maintain adequate safeguards to limit the dissemination of each Fund’s non-public portfolio holdings information to third parties in accordance with non-disclosure agreements with the particular Fund, Instructions pursuant to Section 14, or directions of the Fund under Section 15.C. However, Confidential Information shall not be subject to such confidentiality obligations if it: (a) is already known to a receiving party at the time it is obtained; (b) is or becomes publicly known or available through no wrongful act of a receiving party; (c) is rightfully received from a third party who, to the best of a receiving party's knowledge, is not under a duty of confidentiality; (d) is released by a protected party to a third party without restriction; (e) is required to be disclosed pursuant to the Fund’s Registration Statement or by a requirement of a court order, subpoena, governmental or regulatory agency or law (provided the disclosing party will promptly provide the other party written notice of such requirement, to the extent such notice is permitted); (f) is relevant to the defense of any claim or cause of action asserted against a receiving party; or (g) has been or is independently developed or obtained by a receiving party.

X. Xxxxxx also acknowledges Confidential Information includes nonpublic personal information about a Fund’s customers (“Customer Information”) that the Fund is required by Regulation S-P to keep confidential. Accordingly, Mellon agrees that, to the extent it receives such Customer Information, it shall not:

(i) use or disclose Customer Information other than to carry out the purposes for which a Fund or one of its affiliates disclosed such Customer Information to Mellon; or

(ii) disclose any Customer Information other than:

(a) to Fund affiliates;

(b) to Mellon affiliates, provided that such affiliates need the Customer Information to be able to provide the Services hereunder and shall be restricted in use and disclosure of the Customer Information to the same extent as Mellon;

Delaware Funds

(c) to subcontractors of Mellon or the Fund, provided that such subcontractors need the Customer Information to be able to provide the Services hereunder and shall have entered into a confidentiality agreement no less restrictive than the terms hereof; and

(d) to comply with federal, state or local laws, rules and other applicable legal requirements; to comply with a properly authorized civil, criminal, or regulatory investigation, or subpoena or summons by federal, state, or local authorities; or to respond to judicial process or government regulatory authorities having jurisdiction for examination, compliance, or other purposes as authorized by law (provided Mellon will promptly provide the Fund written notice of such requirement, to the extent such notice is permitted).

For purposes of this paragraph, the term “affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in Regulation S-P. To the extent any provisions of this paragraph conflict with other terms of this Agreement, this paragraph shall control.

C. Neither party shall use the trade name, trademark or service xxxx of the other party without the prior written consent of the other party; provided, however, that (a) either party may use the trade name, trademark or service xxxx of the other party in connection with providing the Services under the Agreement, or (b) the Fund may use the trade name, trademark or service xxxx of Xxxxxx in connection with their Registration Statements.

12. Reports

X. Xxxxxx shall furnish reports to a Fund, its Fund Agents and to others that the Fund designates in writing at such times as are prescribed pursuant to this Agreement to be provided or completed by Mellon, or as subsequently agreed upon by the parties pursuant to this Agreement or any amendment thereto. Each Fund agrees to examine each report promptly and will communicate or cause to be communicated any errors or discrepancies therein. If there are errors or discrepancies in a report (except such errors and discrepancies as may not reasonably be expected to be discovered by the recipient after conducting a diligent examination) that are not so reported promptly, then a report will for all purposes be accepted by and binding on the Fund and any other recipient, absent fraud, negligence, willful misconduct, or reckless disregard of Mellon’s duties under this Agreement, and Mellon shall have no further responsibility with respect to such report other than to correct and revise it.

Delaware Funds

B. For the two month period ending on December 31, 2007, Mellon shall cause its auditors to perform a Type I SAS 70 audit of Mellon’s internal controls and procedures relating to the Services provided to the Funds that have been converted onto Mellon’s fund accounting platform from November 1, 2007 until December 31, 2007. For each Fund that has been converted onto Mellon’s fund accounting platform during the period from November 1, 2007 until December 31, 2007, Mellon shall provide such Fund (together with its chief compliance officer or its designated representative) with a copy of the report resulting from such Type I SAS 70 audit no later than 45 days after December 31, 2007. For the six month period ending on June 30 of each year and the twelve month period ending on December 31 of each year commencing in 2008, Mellon shall cause its auditors to perform a Type II SAS 70 audit of Mellon’s internal controls and procedures relating to the Services provided to the Funds that have been converted onto Mellon’s fund accounting platform prior to the end of the applicable audit period. For each Fund that has been converted onto Mellon’s fund accounting platform prior to the end of the applicable audit period, Mellon shall provide such Fund (together with its chief compliance officer or its designated representative) with a copy of the report resulting from such Type II SAS 70 audit no later than 45 days after the end of the applicable audit period. All SAS 70 audit reports shall be treated as Confidential Information.

14. Authorized Persons and Instructions

A. Each Fund shall deliver to Mellon a list of the names, titles and signatures of all persons who are authorized to act on behalf of the Fund to issue instructions to Mellon (“Authorized Persons” and “Instructions”), including any limits on the scope of authority of any Authorized Persons. Fund trustees, directors and officers shall be presumptively considered Authorized Persons unless the Fund notifies Mellon to the contrary. Each Fund shall promptly notify Mellon of any changes to or limitations on the rights, powers and duties of any Authorized Person, but in the absence of receiving such notice, Mellon shall be entitled to deal with any Authorized Person and to act and rely upon any Instructions reasonably believed to be from such Authorized Person.

B. An Instruction means a writing signed or initialed by one or more Authorized Person. Each such writing shall set forth the specific transaction or type of transaction involved. Oral instructions will be deemed Instructions if Mellon reasonably believes them to have been given by an Authorized Person, and the oral instructions are promptly confirmed in writing.

Delaware Funds

15. Advice, Reliance and Instructions

X. Xxxxxx may apply to a Fund at any time for Instructions and may consult with Mellon’s or the Fund’s counsel, Independent Accountant and other experts with respect to any matter arising in connection with the Services performed by Mellon, and Mellon shall not be liable nor accountable for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with such Instructions or on the advice of such counsel, Independent Accountant or other experts. To the extent possible, Mellon shall notify the Fund at any time Mellon believes it needs advice of the Fund’s counsel, Independent Accountant or experts with regard to Mellon’s responsibilities and duties pursuant to this Agreement. If Mellon wishes to seek and rely on legal advice from counsel that is neither the Fund’s counsel nor counsel in the regular employ of Mellon or its affiliated companies, and Mellon seeks to be reimbursed for such counsel fees, then Mellon must notify and seek prior approval of such affected Fund, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Mellon shall in no event be liable to a Fund or any Fund shareholder or beneficial owner for any action reasonably taken or omitted pursuant to such advice.

X. Xxxxxx may rely conclusively upon the terms of a Registration Statement, the minutes of Fund board meetings and any other Fund document Mellon reasonably believes to be genuine unless and until Mellon receives Instructions to the contrary.

C. Subject to the instructions of an Authorized Person, Mellon may provide information pertaining to the Fund’s portfolio holdings to entities designated by such Authorized Person.

D. Each Fund understands and acknowledges that the Services are intended to assist the Fund and its board in their obligations to price and monitor pricing of the Fund’s portfolio securities, but Mellon does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or appropriateness of pricing information received from the Fund or other non-Mellon entities or pricing methodologies, including any fair value pricing information or adjustment factors. Each Fund further understands and acknowledges that it retains overall responsibility to: (i) adopt policies and procedures to monitor for circumstances that may necessitate the use of fair value prices; (ii) establish criteria for determining when market quotations are no longer reliable for a particular portfolio security; (iii) determine a methodology or methodologies by which the Fund determines the current fair value of portfolio securities; (iv) regularly review the appropriateness and accuracy of the method used in valuing securities and make any necessary adjustments; and (v) promptly communicate the foregoing in writing to Mellon pursuant to Section 14.

E. Each Fund authorizes Mellon to communicate, as required, with the Fund’s service providers, brokers, futures commission merchants, Independent Accountant and/or other authorized agents and related parties of any of them to obtain the information Mellon needs to perform the Services. In that regard, Mellon agrees to cooperate with each Fund’s Independent Accountant, to reasonably support the Independent Accountant’s engagement with the Fund, and to provide the Independent Accountant reasonable access to the Records. Mellon also agrees to provide periodic sub-certifications to each Fund’s chief compliance officer and certifying principal executive and financial officers relating to the Services Mellon performs, based on a form of sub-certification that Mellon and the Fund reasonably agree to, and subject to such limitations as may be reasonable or necessary to not make a material misstatement, omission or untrue statement of fact.

Delaware Funds

16. Compliance with Law

A. In performing the Services, Mellon shall comply with all applicable laws, and its standard of performance shall be in accord with such standards as may be imposed by law and the requirements of all regulatory authorities. However, unless specifically identified in the Services, nothing expressly or implicitly contained in this Agreement is intended or shall be interpreted to confer upon Mellon a duty to ensure that each Fund is acting in compliance with any applicable laws. Except for the obligations of Mellon set forth in Schedule B, each Fund assumes full responsibility for the preparation, contents and distribution of the Fund’s Registration Statement and compliance with applicable laws, including the requirements of the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act, and governmental authorities having jurisdiction.

X. Xxxxxx shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make its employees who are responsible for providing the Services (“Relevant Employees”) available to federal, state and local governmental and regulatory and supervisory authorities having jurisdiction over the performance of the Services (“Governmental Authorities”) as may be required by such Governmental Authorities pursuant to applicable law, subpoena or order, and as may be requested by any Governmental Authorities on behalf of or with respect to a Fund or any of its affiliates or as may be requested by the Fund to be made available to such Governmental Authorities. To the extent legally permitted, Mellon shall promptly notify the affected Fund of any request by any Governmental Authorities for any Relevant Employees (except when the request for access to Relevant Employees was made by the Fund). The affected Fund shall cooperate, and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause each of its affiliates and service providers to cooperate, with Mellon in complying with any notice, order, subpoena or request of any Governmental Authority. Except as provided in Sections 8 and 9, Mellon shall have no liability to a Fund or any third party for any claims, obligations, penalties or fines which may arise out of or in relation to Mellon's compliance with this provision. In accordance with Section 2.C.(vii), the affected Fund shall reimburse Mellon in connection with providing such access. Nothing contained in this paragraph shall require Mellon to disclose any proprietary or confidential information of Mellon or its other customers and clients.

17. Governing Law and Jurisdiction

This Agreement and performance hereunder and all suits and proceedings hereunder shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect to conflict of law principles. Each of the parties to this Agreement expressly and irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Pennsylvania and waives any claims of inconvenient forum or venue. To the extent that the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania conflict with the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act, the applicable provisions of the 1940 Act shall control.

18. Services Not Exclusive

X. Xxxxxx’x Services are not exclusive to a Fund and Mellon shall be free to render similar services to others.

Delaware Funds

X. Xxxxxx shall perform the Services solely as an independent contractor and no joint venture, partnership, employment, agency or any other relationship is intended, accomplished or embodied in this Agreement. Mellon shall have the sole and exclusive right to supervise, manage, control and direct its performance of the Services, except that Mellon may be subject to performance standards and measurements for performing the Services.

C. In performing the Services, Mellon is acting solely on behalf of a Fund and no contractual or service relationship shall be deemed to be established between Mellon and any other person, including without limitation the custodian and Fund shareholders.

19. Force Majeure and Uncontrollable Events

Mellon shall maintain adequate and reliable computer and other equipment necessary or appropriate to carry out its obligations under this Agreement. Upon a Fund’s reasonable request, Mellon shall provide supplemental information concerning the aspects of its disaster recovery and business continuity plan that are relevant to the Services. Notwithstanding the foregoing or any other provision of this Agreement, Mellon assumes no responsibility hereunder, and shall not be liable for, any damage, loss of data, business interruption, delay or any other loss whatsoever caused by “Force Majeure Events.” “Force Majeure Events” are events beyond the reasonable control of Mellon, its agents and its Subcontractors (other than Subcontractors engaged by Mellon at the instruction of the Fund). In the event of Force Majeure Events, or any disaster that causes a business interruption, Mellon shall act in good faith and follow applicable procedures in its disaster recovery and business continuity plan and use all commercially reasonable efforts to minimize service interruptions.

20. Severability

If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid, the remainder of this Agreement and the parties’ rights and obligations under it shall not be affected by such action, and the invalid provisions of the Agreement shall be deemed to be severable only in the jurisdiction that so determines.

21. Survivability

The following provisions shall survive beyond the expiration and termination of this Agreement:

all compensation provisions, including Section 2 Compensation and Expenses, Section 3 regarding termination fees, costs and expenses, and Schedule C;
Section 4. Amendments, Assignment and Delegation;
Section 6. Representations and Warranties of each Fund;
Section 7. Representations and Warranties of Mellon;

Delaware Funds

Section 9. Indemnification and Limitation of Liability;
Section 10. Books and Records, Disclosure, Retention, and Rights of Ownership;
Section 11. Confidential Information;
Section 14. Authorized Persons and Instructions;
Section 19. Force Majeure and Uncontrollable Events; and
Section 20. Severability.

22. Contract Terms To Be Exclusive

This Agreement constitutes the complete agreement of the parties about the covered subject matter, and supersedes all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements bearing upon the covered subject matter. As noted in Section 1.B., Mellon and each Fund may enter into Service Level Documents or other interpretive documents in connection with this Agreement. Any such Service Level Documents or interpretive agreements may be in writing and signed by all parties, but shall not be deemed to be an amendment to this Agreement, and because the intent of such agreements is to generally facilitate operations in a flexible manner, the breach of any such agreement shall not necessarily constitute a breach of this Agreement, and the parties shall be free to change the terms of such agreements as provided therein.

23. Waiver

A party’s waiver of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by any party. A party’s failure to insist upon strict adherence to any provision of the Agreement shall not constitute a waiver or deprive such party of the right to insist upon strict adherence to such provision.

24. Counterparts and Reproduction of Documents

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which is deemed an original and all of which together evidence the entire Agreement. This Agreement and any amendments may be reproduced by any commercially acceptable process. The parties agree that any such reproduction shall be admissible in evidence as the original itself in any judicial or administrative proceedings, whether or not the original is in existence and whether or not such reproduction was made by a party in the regular course of business, and that any enlargement facsimile or further reproduction of such reproduction shall be likewise admissible in evidence.

25. Miscellaneous

Paragraph headings in this Agreement are included for convenience only and are not to be used to construe or interpret this Agreement.

FUND ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION SERVICES

Mellon shall perform for each Fund and each of its Portfolios the following fund accounting, financial administration and related services. Unless otherwise noted, capitalized terms used herein shall have the same meanings assigned to them in the Agreement.

A. Valuations
In accordance with the 1940 Act, a Fund’s pricing policies and procedures delivered to Mellon, and a Fund’s prospectus and statement of additional information, and subject to the existence of authorized licensing arrangements and Instructions, Mellon will perform the following pricing and valuation services:

1.		Perform the necessary functions to calculate daily the net asset value per share (“NAV”) for each share class of each Portfolio of the Fund.
2.		Calculate the value of the assets of each Portfolio by obtaining securities prices and readily available market quotations from independent pricing sources, subject to any adjustments by the fair valuation information vendors, in each case using a source/vendor approved by the Fund and listed in Schedule D to the Agreement. If market quotations for portfolio securities are not readily available, notify the Fund and obtain prices from authorized broker sources and/or use fair values as determined in good faith by the Fund’s board of directors/trustees, which includes, but is not limited to, using values determined by the Fund’s pricing policies and procedures and values approved by the Fund’s Valuation/Pricing Committee.
3.		Assist in resolving pricing discrepancies and implement mutually agreed upon price variance thresholds and notification processes.
4.		In accordance with the Fund’s NAV error correction policies provided to Mellon, notify the Fund promptly upon discovery of NAV errors of a Portfolio and initiate correction processes.

B. Calculation and Payment of Expenses
1.		Based upon information provided by one of the Fund’s Authorized Persons to Mellon, calculate asset-based fees and submit to the Fund Treasurer/Principal Financial Officer for approval, and instruct the custodian to wire fee payments to the service providers.
2.		Accrue expense waivers based on Instructions and provide reporting of accruals of expense waivers.
3.		Accrue and allocate fee payments to directors/trustees and other officers of the Fund paid directly by the Fund according to Instructions and on a monthly basis forward cash to the Fund’s Authorized Persons in the amount necessary to make such payments to the directors/trustees and other officers of the Fund.
4.		Prepare expense reports, liabilities analysis and budgets for each Portfolio of the Fund for review and approval by the Fund Treasurer/Principal Financial Officer, including maintaining detailed records pertaining to expense accruals and payments, adjusting reports to reflect accrual adjustments, and monitoring all Fund expenses.

Delaware Funds

5.		Forward any invoices payable by the Fund to the Fund’s Authorized Persons for review and approval. Effective as of October 1, 2008, pay any invoices approved by the Fund’s Authorized Person for payment on behalf of the Fund.

Additionally, review and provide comments to the Fund or a Fund Agent to allow for completion of such reports in accordance with defined timelines.
2.		Prepare other reports, notices or financial documents in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, as required by federal, state and other applicable laws and regulations, in each case as the parties may agree upon from time to time.
3.		Assist in preparing financial information relating to a closed-end Fund’s earnings press release, if any.
4.		Provide financial information needed for the offer letter to assist with buyback and tender offers for a closed-end Fund, if any.
5.		Provide 1940 Act Rule 2a-7 amortized cost monitoring (xxxx-to-market) reports for a money market Portfolio with such frequency as is agreed upon by parties, or as may be required by Rule 2a-7 and the Fund’s policies and procedures.
6.		Prepare and provide such detailed financial reports as may be necessary for the Fund’s board of directors’/trustees’ reporting process and as the parties may agree upon from time to time.
7.		Provide sub-certifications in an agreed-upon form to the Fund’s chief compliance officer and certifying principal executive and financial officers with respect to the generation of financial statements and other financial reporting performed by Mellon.

D. Portfolio Securities Transactions
Based on information that is provided to Mellon by the Fund, its investment adviser, and the Fund’s Authorized Persons, Mellon will perform the following functions:

Maintain records of investment, capital share, and income and expense activities for each Portfolio by: (i) recording purchases and sales of investments; (ii) recording corporate actions and capital changes relating to investments; (iii) accruing interest, dividends and expenses on investments; and (iv) maintaining the historical tax lots and income history for investments.

The Fund's elections (on actions where elections and options exist) on voluntary corporate actions must be communicated to Mellon by one of the Fund's Authorized Persons on the deadline date stated on the corporate actions notice, allowing a reasonable amount of time before the stated deadline for Mellon to input the election on the fund accounting system and notify the custodian (as applicable). Mellon will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond on behalf of the Fund if a response is received by Mellon after the deadline date.
3.		In instances where Mellon is not the custodian of the affected portfolio securities, Mellon will notify, as directed, the applicable investment adviser (or, if applicable, sub-adviser) with respect to mandatory and voluntary corporate actions upon Mellon's receipt of the corporate action information. In addition, where Mellon receives mandatory and voluntary corporate action information in its capacity as portfolio accountant for other clients on the same accounting platform, Mellon agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to identify actions applicable to the Fund's portfolio securities. However, Mellon assumes no liability for failing to identify and provide notice of such actions with respect to a portfolio security when Mellon does not separately receive notice from the custodian for such portfolio of securities. The Fund's elections (on actions where elections and options exist) on voluntary corporate actions must be communicated to Mellon by one of the Fund's Authorized Persons on a date established by Mellon sufficiently in advance of the deadline date stated on the custodian's corporate actions notice to permit Mellon to input the election on the fund accounting system and notify the custodian by its stated deadline. Mellon will use commercially reasonable efforts to respond on behalf of the Fund if a response is received by Mellon after a deadline date.
4.		Book corporate action activity upon timely receipt of information and Instructions from one of the Fund’s Authorized Persons.
5.		Receive, update and process daily trade files from the Fund investment adviser’s order management system.
6.		Based on Instructions from one of the Fund’s Authorized Persons or the Fund Treasurer/Principal Financial Officer, implement tax lot relief methodology.

E. Dividends & Distributions

2.		Calculate income projections and provide such projections to the Fund for completion of the Section 19(a) notices and respond to any questions or issues raised by such projections.
3.		Periodically calculate and report each Portfolio’s “investment company taxable income,” “net capital gain” distributions, and realized and unrealized capital gains, and calculate amount of distribution to avoid application of excise tax, in accordance with IRS Subchapter M requirements and the Portfolio’s distribution policies as disclosed in the Portfolio’s prospectus and established by resolution of the Fund’s board of directors/trustees.
