2. It is duly qualified to carry on its business in Maryland.
3.
It is empowered under applicable laws and by its charter and By-Laws to enter
into and perform this Agreement.
4.
All requisite corporate proceedings have been taken to authorize it to enter
into and perform this Agreement.
5.
It has, and will continue to have, access to the necessary facilities, equipment
and personnel to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement.
D. Representations and Warrantees of the Fund
The Fund represents and warrants to Price Associates that:
1.
It is a corporation or business trust, as the case may be, duly organized and
existing and in good standing under the laws of Maryland or Massachusetts, as
the case may be.

All proceedings required by said Articles of Incorporation or Declaration of

E. Ownership of Software and Related Material
All computer programs, magnetic tapes, written procedures, and similar
items purchased and/or developed and used by Price Associates in performance of
the Agreement shall be the property of Price Associates and will not become the
property of the Funds.
F. Quality Service Standards
Price Associates and the Fund may, from time to time, agree to certain
quality service standards, with respect to Price Associates' services hereunder.
G. Standard of Care/Indemnification
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:
1.Where a Pricing Error results in loss or dilution to a Fund of less than
$10,000, the determination of liability for the error will be made by Price
Associates. Where a Pricing Error results in loss or dilution to a Fund of
$10,000 or more but less than $100,000, liability for the error will be resolved
through negotiations between Fund Counsel and Price Associates. Where a Pricing
Error results in loss or dilution to a Fund of the lesser of 1/2 of 1% of NAV or
$100,000 or more, the error will be promptly reported to the Board of Directors
of the Fund (unless the Fund is fully compensated for the loss or dilution),
provided that final settlement with respect to such errors will not be made
until approved by the Board of Directors of the Fund. A summary of all Pricing
Errors and their effect on the Funds will be reported to the Funds' Audit
Committee on an annual basis. In determining the liability of Price Associates
for a Pricing Error, an error or omission will not be deemed to constitute
negligence when it is determined that:
o
Price Associates had in place "appropriate procedures and an adequate
system of internal controls;"
o
the employee responsible for the error or omission had been reasonably
trained and was being appropriately monitored; and
o
the error or omission did not result from wanton or reckless conduct
on the part of the employee.
It is understood that Price Associates is not obligated to have in place
separate procedures to prevent each and every conceivable type of error or
omission. The term "appropriate procedures and adequate system of internal
controls" shall mean procedures and controls reasonably designed to prevent
and detect errors and omissions. In determining the reasonableness of such
procedures and controls, weight will be given to such factors as are
appropriate, including the prior occurrence of any similar errors or
omissions, when such procedures and controls were in place and fund
accounting industry standards in place at the time of the error.
2.
The Fund shall indemnify and hold Price Associates harmless from and against all
losses, costs, damages, claims, actions, and expenses, including reasonable
expenses for legal counsel, incurred by Price Associates resulting from: (i)
any action or omission by Price Associates or its agents or subcontractors in
the performance of their duties hereunder; (ii) Price Associates acting upon
instructions believed by it to have been executed by a duly authorized officer
of the Fund; or (iii) Price Associates acting upon information provided by the
Fund in form and under policies agreed to by Price Associates and the Fund.
Price Associates shall not be entitled to such indemnification in respect of
actions or omissions constituting negligence or willful misconduct of Price
Associates or where Price Associates has not exercised reasonable care in
selecting or monitoring the performance of its agents or subcontractors.
3.
Price Associates shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund from all losses,
costs, damages, claims, actions and expenses, including reasonable expenses for
legal counsel, incurred by the Fund resulting from the negligence or willful
misconduct of Price Associates or which result from Price Associates' failure to
exercise reasonable care in selecting or monitoring the performance of its
agents or subcontractors. The Fund shall not be entitled to such
indemnification with respect to actions or omissions constituting negligence or
willful misconduct of such Fund or its agents or subcontractors; unless such
negligence or misconduct is attributable to Price Associates.
4.
In the event either party is unable to perform its obligations under the terms
of this Agreement because of acts of God, strikes or other causes reasonably
beyond its control, such party shall not be liable to the other party for any
loss, cost, damage, claim, action or expense resulting from such failure to
perform or otherwise from such causes.
5.
In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this Article G shall
apply, upon the assertion of a claim for which either party may be required to
indemnify the other, the party seeking indemnification shall promptly notify the
other party of such assertion, and shall keep the other party advised with
respect to all developments concerning such claim. The party who may be
required to indemnify shall have the option to participate with the party
seeking indemnification in the defense of such claim, or to defend against said
claim in its own name or in the name of the other party. The party seeking
indemnification shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any
case in which the other party may be required to indemnify it except with the
other party's prior written consent.
6.Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other party for
consequential damages under any provision of this Agreement.
H. Dual Interests
It is understood that some person or persons may be directors, officers, or
shareholders of both the Fund and Price Associates (including Price Associates'
affiliates), and that the existence of any such dual interest shall not affect
the validity of this Agreement or of any transactions hereunder except as
otherwise provided by a specific provision of applicable law.
I. Documentation
As requested by Price Associates, the Fund shall promptly furnish to Price
Associates such documents as it may reasonably request and as are necessary for
Price Associates to carry out its responsibilities hereunder.
J. Recordkeeping/Confidentiality
1.
Price Associates shall keep records relating to the services to be performed
hereunder, in the form and manner as it may deem advisable, provided that Price
Associates shall keep all
records in such form and in such manner as required by applicable law, including
the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("the Act") and the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934 ("the '34 Act").
2.
Price Associates and the Fund agree that all books, records, information and
data pertaining to the business of the other party which are exchanged or
received pursuant to the negotiation or the carrying out of this Agreement shall
remain confidential, and shall not be voluntarily disclosed to any other person,
except: (a) after prior notification to and approval in writing by the other
party hereto, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not be
withheld where Price Associates or Fund may be exposed to civil or criminal
contempt proceedings for failure to comply; (b) when requested to divulge such
information by duly constituted governmental authorities; or (c) after so
requested by the other party hereto.
K. Compliance With Governmental Rules and Regulations
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and except for the accuracy
of information furnished to the Funds by Price Associates, each Fund assumes
full responsibility for the preparation, contents and distribution of its
prospectuses, and for complying with all applicable requirements of the Act, the
'34 Act, the Securities Act of 1933 (the "33 Act"), and any laws, rules and
regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Funds.
L. Term and Termination of Agreement
1.This Agreement shall run for a period of one (1) year from the date first
written above and will be renewed from year to year thereafter unless terminated
by either party as provided hereunder.
2.
This Agreement may be terminated by the Fund upon sixty (60) days' written
notice to Price Associates; and by Price Associates, upon three hundred
sixty-five (365) days' writing notice to the Fund.
3.Upon termination hereof, the Fund shall pay to Price Associates such
compensation as may be due as of the date of such termination, and shall
likewise reimburse for out-of-pocket expenses related to its services hereunder.
M. Notice
Any notice as required by this Agreement shall be sufficiently given (i)
when sent to an authorized person of the other party at the address of such
party set forth above or at such other address as such party may from time to
time specify in writing to the other party; or (ii) as otherwise agreed upon by
appropriate officers of the parties hereto.
N. Assignment
Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be
assigned either voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise,
by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, provided
this shall not preclude Price Associates from employing such agents and
subcontractors as it deems appropriate to carry out its obligations set forth
hereunder.
O. Amendment/Interpretive Provisions
The parties by mutual written agreement may amend this Agreement at any
time. In addition, in connection with the operation of this Agreement, Price
