2. APPOINTMENT.
CSFBAC and each Fund hereby appoint PFPC to provide administration,

additional Fund and PFPC whereby such additional Fund and PFPC will agree
to be bound by the terms of this Agreement (as it may be amended with
respect to such Fund by such instrument of succession). The addition of a
Fund to this Agreement will not affect the rights or obligations of any
other Fund pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. This Agreement also
may be terminated with respect to a
2
Fund without such termination affecting the rights or obligations of any
other Fund pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.
3. COMPLIANCE WITH RULES AND REGULATIONS.
With respect to a particular Fund, PFPC undertakes to comply with the
applicable requirements of the Securities Laws, and any laws, rules and
regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction with respect
to the duties to be performed by PFPC hereunder. Except as specifically
set forth herein or in a separate agreement signed by PFPC, PFPC assumes
no responsibility for such compliance by a Fund.
4. INSTRUCTIONS.
(a) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, PFPC shall act only
upon Oral Instructions or Written Instructions.
(b) PFPC shall be entitled to rely upon any Oral Instructions or
Written Instructions it receives from an Authorized Person (or
from a person reasonably believed by PFPC to be an Authorized
Person) pursuant to this Agreement. PFPC may assume that any Oral
Instruction or Written Instruction received hereunder is not in
any way inconsistent with the provisions of the Organizational

proceeding of a Fund's directors, Managers, General Partner, or
Members, unless and until PFPC receives Written Instructions to
the contrary, unless PFPC has actual knowledge to the contrary.
(c) CSFBAC and each Fund, as appropriate, agree to forward to PFPC
Written Instructions confirming Oral Instructions (except where
such Oral Instructions are given by PFPC or its affiliates) so
that PFPC receives the Written Instructions as promptly as
practicable and in any event by the close of business on the day
after such Oral Instructions are received. The fact that such
confirming Written Instructions are not received by PFPC or differ
from the
3
Oral Instructions shall in no way invalidate the transactions or
enforceability of the transactions authorized by the Oral
Instructions or PFPC's ability to rely upon such Oral
Instructions. Without prejudice to the foregoing, where PFPC is
aware of a material discrepancy between Oral Instructions and
confirming Written Instructions, PFPC shall promptly notify CSFBAC
or the Fund, as appropriate, of such discrepancy. Where Oral
Instructions or Written Instructions reasonably appear to have
been received from an Authorized Person, PFPC shall incur no
liability to CSFBAC or the Fund, as appropriate, in acting upon
such Oral Instructions or Written Instructions provided that
PFPC's actions comply with the other provisions of this Agreement.
5. RIGHT TO RECEIVE ADVICE.
(a) ADVICE OF THE FUNDS. If PFPC is in doubt as to any action it
should or should not take, with respect to the duties to be
performed by PFPC hereunder, PFPC may request directions or
advice, including Oral Instructions or Written Instructions, from
the Fund or CSFBAC acting in its capacity as investment adviser to
the Fund.
(b) ADVICE OF COUNSEL. If PFPC shall be in doubt as to any question of
law pertaining to any action it should or should not take, with
respect to the duties to be performed by PFPC hereunder, PFPC may
request advice of counsel of its own choosing (who may be counsel
for a Fund, a Fund's investment adviser, General Partner or
Manager or PFPC, at the option of PFPC). The cost of counsel
pursuant to this provision shall be borne by PFPC unless the
advice is sought from counsel for a Fund or the Fund's investment
adviser.
(c) CONFLICTING ADVICE. In the event of a conflict between directions
or advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions PFPC
receives from CSFBAC or a Fund, and the advice PFPC receives from
counsel, PFPC may rely upon and follow the advice of counsel.
Involving an issue of compliance with law or legal requirements,
PFPC Trust shall be
4
entitle to rely upon and follow the reasonable advice of counsel,
provided PFPC Trust has discussed the matter with the Fund and/or
counsel of the Fund's choosing and the conflict is not resolved.
(d) PROTECTION OF PFPC. Subject to the second sentence of Section 12,
PFPC shall be indemnified severally by each Fund (as applicable)
and without liability for any action PFPC takes or does not take
in good faith and in reliance upon directions or advice or Oral
Instructions or Written Instructions PFPC receives from or on
behalf of CSFBAC or a Fund or from counsel and which PFPC
reasonably believes, in good faith, to be consistent with those
directions or advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions.
Nothing in this section shall be construed so as to impose an
obligation upon PFPC (i) to seek such directions or advice or Oral
Instructions or Written Instructions, or (ii) to act in accordance
with such directions or advice or Oral Instructions or Written
Instructions unless, under the terms of other provisions of this
Agreement, the same is a condition of PFPC's properly taking or
not taking such action.
6. RECORDS; VISITS.
(a) The books and records pertaining to a Fund, which are in the
possession or under the control of PFPC, shall be the property of
such Fund. If a Fund is an investment company registered under the
1940 Act, such books and records shall be prepared and maintained
as required by the 1940 Act and other applicable securities laws,
rules and regulations. CSFBAC, each Fund and Authorized Persons
(and, with respect to a Fund registered under the 1940 Act, the
staff of the SEC or other regulators) shall have access to such
books and records at all times during PFPC's normal business
hours. Upon the reasonable request of CSFBAC or a Fund, copies of
any such books and records shall be provided by PFPC to CSFBAC,
such Fund or to an Authorized Person, at the expense of CSFBAC,
such Fund or
5
Funds (as applicable), provided that upon termination of this
Agreement the original records of the Funds still under control of
PFPC shall be delivered to the successor fund administrator, if
applicable. Any such books and records may be maintained in the
form of electronic media and stored on any magnetic disk or tape
or similar recording method.

independent accountants, provided that the Fund has requested such
SAS 70 Report.
7. CONFIDENTIALITY
(a) Each of (i) PFPC and (ii) CSFBAC and the Funds, shall keep

specifications, computer software, source code, object code, flow
charts, databases, inventions, know-how, and trade secrets,

designated as confidential. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
information shall not be subject to such confidentiality
obligations if: (a) it is already known to the receiving party at
the time it is obtained; (b) it is or becomes publicly known or
available through no wrongful act of the receiving party; (c) it
is rightfully received from a third party who, to the best of the
receiving party's knowledge, is not under a duty of
confidentiality; (d) it is released by the protected party to a
third party without restriction; (e) it is requested or required
to be disclosed by the receiving party pursuant to a court order,
subpoena, governmental or regulatory agency request or law
(provided the receiving party will provide the other party prompt
written notice of the same, to the extent such notice is
permitted); (f) it is relevant to the defense of any claim or
cause of action asserted against the receiving party; (g) release
of such information is necessary or desirable in connection with
PFPC's provision of services under this Agreement; or (h) it has
been or is independently developed or obtained by the receiving
party.
(b) If any party to this Agreement is requested or required (by oral
question, interrogatories, requests for information or documents,
subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to
disclose any Confidential Information, such party (the "Disclosing
Party"), will promptly notify the other parties (to the extent
permitted by law) of such request or
7
requirement so that such other party or parties may seek an
appropriate protective order. If, in the absence of a protective
order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Disclosing Party
is, in the opinion of counsel to the Disclosing Party, compelled
to disclose the Confidential Information the Disclosing Party may
disclose only such portion of the Confidential Information to the
party compelling disclosure as is required by law, as determined
solely by counsel to the Disclosing Party.
(c) Each party hereto acknowledges and agrees that, subject to the
reuse and re-disclosure provisions of Xxxxxxxxxx X-X, 00 XXX Part
248.11, it shall not disclose the non-public personal information
of investors in the Funds obtained under this Agreement, except as
necessary to carry out the services set forth in this Agreement or
as otherwise permitted by law or regulation.

and shall provide account analyses, fiscal year summaries, and other
audit-related schedules with respect to such Fund. PFPC shall take all
reasonable action in the performance of its duties under this Agreement

information is made available in a timely fashion to such accountants for
the expression of their opinion with respect to that Fund, as required by
the Fund or CSFBAC.

databases, computer programs, screen formats, report formats, interactive

rights belonging to the CSFBAC, the Funds, or their affiliates.

parties one or more agreements making reasonable provisions for emergency
use of electronic data processing equipment. PFPC will, on request,
provide the Fund with a summary of PFPC's disaster recovery procedures.
In the event of equipment failures, PFPC shall, at no additional expense
to any Fund, take reasonable steps to minimize service interruptions.
PFPC shall have no liability with respect to the loss of data or service
interruptions caused by equipment failure, provided such loss or
interruption is not caused by PFPC's own willful misfeasance or willful
misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its
duties or obligations under this Agreement.

benefits.
12. INDEMNIFICATION.
(a) CSFBAC and each Fund agrees severally and not jointly to indemnify
and hold harmless PFPC and its affiliates, including their
respective officers, directors, agents and employees, from all
taxes, charges, expenses, assessments, claims and liabilities
(including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and
disbursements and liabilities arising under the Securities Laws
and any state and foreign securities laws) (collectively,
"Losses"), arising directly or indirectly from any action or
omission to act which PFPC takes in connection with the provision
of services hereunder to the extent provided herein.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, neither
PFPC, nor any of its affiliates, shall be indemnified from losses
against any liability (or any expenses incident to such liability)
caused by PFPC's or its affiliates' own willful misfeasance or
willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard in the performance of PFPC's activities under this
Agreement. Any amounts payable by a Fund hereunder shall be
satisfied only against such Fund's assets and not against the
assets of any other Fund. The provisions of this Section 12 shall
survive termination of this Agreement.
(b) PFPC agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless CSFBAC and each
Fund from Losses arising directly or indirectly from any act or
omission to act of PFPC pursuant to this Agreement but only if
such liability arises from PFPC's or its affiliates' own willful
misfeasance or willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence or
reckless disregard of its duties and obligations under this
Agreement. This indemnification shall be the Fund's sole remedy
under this Agreement.
10

reasonably believes to be genuine.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement (whether contained
anywhere in Sections 14-16 or otherwise) to the contrary, CSFBAC
and each Fund hereby acknowledge and agree that (i) PFPC, in the
course of calculating and reporting portfolio performance
hereunder,
11
may rely upon PFPC's good faith interpretation of tax positions or
its good faith interpretation of relevant circumstances (as
reasonably determined by PFPC) in providing such tax services and
in determining methods of calculating portfolio performance to be
used, and that (ii) PFPC shall not be liable for losses or damages

disregard of its duties, willful misfeasance or willful
misconduct.

without limiting anything in the immediately preceding sentence,
the Funds hereby acknowledge and agree that PFPC shall not be
liable for any losses or damages of any kind associated with any

extent such loss or damage is due to PFPC's gross negligence or
willful misconduct; provided, however, that PFPC shall not be
found to have been grossly negligent for losses or damages
associated with areas of responsibility that the judiciary,
regulators (or other governmental officials) or members of the
hedge fund industry determine would otherwise apply to PFPC (or
similar service providers) and which, as of the date hereof, have
yet to be identified by such parties as areas for which PFPC (or
any similar service provider) is (or would be) responsible.
(e) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, (i) no
party nor their affiliates shall be liable for any consequential,
special or indirect losses or damages, whether or not the
likelihood of such losses or damages was known by them or their
affiliates.
(f) Each party shall have a duty to use commercially reasonable
efforts to mitigate damages for which the other party may become
responsible.
(g) The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive termination of
this Agreement.

failure to discover any such error or omission.
14. SERVICES. PFPC shall, with respect to each separate Fund, but only as
applicable to a particular Fund, perform the services set forth on
Schedule B to this Agreement.
15. DURATION AND TERMINATION.
(a) The term of this Agreement is for an initial term beginning from

to the other parties of its intent not to renew. Notice of
termination must be received not less than ninety (90) days prior
to the expiration of the Initial Term or the then current Renewal

service provider (or each successor service provider, if there are
more than one), and all trailing expenses incurred by PFPC, will
be borne by the Fund. If this Agreement is terminated with respect
to a particular Fund, this Agreement shall remain in full force
and effect with respect to the remaining Funds.
(b) If a party hereto fails in any material respect to perform its
duties and obligations hereunder (a "Defaulting Party"), or if a
representation and warranty of a party hereof becomes untrue or
inaccurate in any material respect, the other party (the
"Non-Defaulting Party") may give written notice thereof to the
Defaulting Party, and if such
13
material breach shall not have been remedied within sixty (60)
days after such written notice is given, then the Non-Defaulting
Party may terminate this Agreement by giving sixty (60) days'
written notice of such termination to the Defaulting Party.
Termination of this Agreement by the Non-Defaulting Party shall
not constitute a waiver of any other rights or remedies with
respect to obligations of the parties prior to such termination or
rights of PFPC to be reimbursed for all of its out-of-pocket
expenses and its normal monthly fees or other obligations due it.
In all cases, termination by the Non-Defaulting Party shall not
constitute a waiver by the Non-Defaulting Party of any other
rights it might have under this Agreement or otherwise against the
Defaulting Party.
(c) Upon occurrence of any of the following events, the party not
subject to such event shall have the right to immediately
terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party:

business and its business is not continued by another corporation
or entity who has agreed to assume its obligations, (ii) either
party becomes insolvent or files for or becomes a party to any
involuntary bankruptcy, receivership or similar proceeding, and
such involuntary proceeding is not dismissed within forty-five
(45) calendar days after filing, or (iii) either party makes an
assignment for the benefit of creditors.

change or waiver is sought.
18. ASSIGNMENT; DELEGATION.
PFPC may assign its rights and delegate its duties hereunder with respect
to a Fund to any majority-owned direct or indirect subsidiary of PFPC or
of The PNC Financial Services Group, Inc., provided that PFPC gives such
Fund and CSFBAC thirty (30) days prior written notice of such assignment
or delegation and such assignment or delegation is approved by CSFBAC and
each such Fund, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned

21. MISCELLANEOUS.
(a) ENTIRE AGREEMENT. As between each separate Fund and PFPC, this
Agreement
15
(including the schedules attached hereto) embodies the entire
agreement and understanding between the parties and supersedes all
prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter
hereof, provided that the parties may embody in one or more
separate documents their agreement, if any, with respect to
delegated duties or other matters as contemplated herein.
(b) NO CHANGES THAT MATERIALLY AFFECT OBLIGATIONS. Notwithstanding
anything in this Agreement to the contrary, each Fund agrees to
provide PFPC with prior notice to evaluate the impact of any
modifications to its Organizational Documents or the adoption of
any policies (a "Material Modification") which would materially
affect the obligations or responsibilities of PFPC hereunder. In
the event of a Material Modification PFPC shall have the option of
either (i) charging the particular Fund(s) for any new or
additional services at its customary rates or (ii) terminating
this Agreement with respect to that Fund(s) upon sixty (60) days
written notice.
(c) CAPTIONS. The captions in this Agreement are included for
convenience of reference only and in no way define or delimit any
of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or
effect.
(e) INFORMATION. Each Fund will provide such information and
documentation as PFPC may reasonably request in connection with
services provided by PFPC to the Fund.
(f) GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be deemed to be a contract
made in Delaware and governed by Delaware law without regard to
principles of conflict of law.
(g) PARTIAL INVALIDITY. If any provision of this Agreement shall be
held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or
otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected
thereby.
(h) SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and
shall inure to the
16
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns.
(i) NO REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES. Except as expressly provided in
this Agreement, PFPC hereby disclaims all representations and
warranties, express or implied, made to CSFBAC, a Fund or any
other person, regarding quality, suitability, merchantability,
fitness for a particular purpose or otherwise (irrespective of any
course of dealing, custom or usage of trade), of any services or
any goods provided incidental to services provided under this
Agreement. PFPC disclaims any warranty of title or
non-infringement except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement.
(j) FACSIMILE SIGNATURES. The facsimile signature of any party to this
Agreement shall constitute the valid and binding execution hereof
by such party.
(k) CUSTOMER IDENTIFICATION PROGRAM NOTICE. To help the U.S.
government fight the funding of terrorism and money laundering
activities, U.S. Federal law requires each financial institution
to obtain, verify, and record certain information that identifies
each person who initially opens an account with that financial
institution on or after October 1, 2003. Certain of PFPC's
affiliates are financial institutions, and PFPC may, as a matter
of policy, request (or may have already requested) the Fund's
name, address and taxpayer identification number or other
government-issued identification number, and, if such party is a
natural person, that party's date of birth. PFPC may also ask (and
may have already asked) for additional identifying information,
and PFPC may take steps (and may have already taken steps) to
verify the authenticity and accuracy of these data elements.
(l) PFPC represents and warrants that it has adopted policies and
procedures reasonably designed to detect and prevent money
laundering activities in compliance with applicable laws,
regulations and regulatory interpretations. In this regard, PFPC
represents that it shall (i) upon reasonable request, provide a
copy of its anti-money laundering program (or a
17
summary thereof) to CSFBAC and, if appropriate, the Funds, and
(ii) upon request, provide to the Funds, a copy of the attestation
letter received by PFPC from an independent auditor in connection
with the annual audit performed with respect to PFPC's Anti-Money
Laundering program.
(m) PFPC is entering into this Agreement with CSFBAC and each of the
Funds separately and not jointly, and any duty, obligation or
liability owed or incurred by PFPC with respect to CSFBAC and a
particular Fund shall be owed or incurred solely with respect to
CSFBAC and that Fund, and shall not in any way create any duty,
obligation or liability with respect to any other Fund or CSFBAC.
This Agreement shall be interpreted to carry out the intent of the
parties hereto that PFPC is entering into a separate arrangement
with CSFBAC and each separate Fund.
18
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
executed as of the day and year first above written.
