The Administrator shall not be liable, and shall be indemnified by the Company, for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in reliance upon any such instructions or advice or upon any paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by an authorized person or persons. The Administrator shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any person until receipt of written notice thereof from the Company.

8.	LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

The Administrator shall be responsible for the performance only of such duties as are set forth in this Agreement and, except as otherwise provided under Sections 6 and 14, shall have no responsibility for the actions or activities of any other party. The Administrator shall have no liability in respect of any loss, damage or expense suffered by the Company insofar as such loss, damage or expense arises from the performance of the Administrator’s duties hereunder in reliance upon records that were maintained for the Company by entities other than the Administrator prior to the Administrator’s appointment as administrator for the Company. The Administrator shall have no liability for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss or damage resulting from the performance or nonperformance of its duties hereunder unless caused by or resulting from the fraud, negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith of the Administrator, its officers or employees. The Administrator shall not be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, punitive or consequential damages, including lost profits, of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) under any provision of this Agreement or for any such damages arising out of any act or failure to act hereunder, 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 had been advised of the possibility of such damages. In any event, the Administrator’s cumulative liability for each calendar year (a “Liability Period”) with respect to the Company under this Agreement regardless of the form of action or legal theory shall be limited to its total annual compensation earned and fees payable hereunder during the preceding Compensation Period, as defined herein, for any liability or loss suffered by the Company including, but not limited to, any liability relating to qualification of the Company as a regulated investment company or any liability relating to the Company’s compliance with any federal or state tax or securities statute, regulation or ruling during such Liability Period. “Compensation Period” shall mean the calendar year ending immediately prior to each Liability Period in which the event(s) giving rise to the Administrator’s liability for that period have occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Compensation Period for purposes of calculating the annual cumulative liability of the Administrator for the Liability Period commencing on the date of this Agreement and terminating on December 31, 2014 shall be the date of this Agreement through December 31, 2014, calculated on an annualized basis, and the Compensation Period for the Liability Period commencing January 1, 2015 and terminating on December 31, 2015 shall be the date of this Agreement through December 31, 2014, calculated on an annualized basis.

The Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its control, including without limitation, work stoppage, power or other mechanical failure, computer virus, natural disaster, governmental action or communication disruption.

Each Company shall indemnify and hold the Administrator harmless from all loss, cost, damage and expense, including reasonable fees and expenses for counsel, incurred by the Administrator and its directors, officers, employees and agents resulting from any claim, demand, action or suit in connection with the Administrator’s acceptance of this Agreement, any action or omission by it in the performance of its duties hereunder, or as a result of acting upon any

instructions reasonably believed by it to have been duly authorized by the Company or upon reasonable reliance on information or records given or made by the Company or its investment adviser, provided that this indemnification shall not apply to actions or omissions of the Administrator, its directors, officers, employees or agents in cases of its or their own fraud, negligence, willful misconduct, or bad faith.

The limitation of liability and indemnification contained herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL RULES AND REGULATIONS; RECORDS

Each Company assumes full responsibility for complying with all securities, tax, commodities and other laws, rules and regulations applicable to it.

In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Administrator agrees that all records which it maintains for a Company shall at all times remain the property of the Company, shall be readily accessible by the Company during normal business hours, and shall be promptly surrendered to the Company upon the termination of the Agreement by the Company or otherwise on written request except as otherwise provided in Section 13. The Administrator further agrees that all records that it maintains for a Company pursuant to Rule 31a-1 under the

1940 Act will be preserved for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act unless any such records are earlier surrendered as provided above. Records of a Company may be surrendered in either written or machine-readable form, at the option of the Administrator. In the event that the Administrator is requested or authorized by a Company, or required by subpoena, administrative order, court order or other legal process, applicable law or regulation, or required in connection with any investigation, examination or inspection of a Company by state or federal regulatory agencies, to produce the records of the Company or the Administrator’s personnel as witnesses or deponents, the Company agrees to pay the Administrator for the Administrator’s time and expenses, as well as the fees and expenses of the Administrator’s counsel incurred in such production.

12.

SERVICES NOT EXCLUSIVE

The services of the Administrator are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Administrator shall be free to render similar services to others. The Administrator shall be deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided herein or authorized by a Company from time to time, have no authority to act or represent such Company in any way or otherwise be deemed an agent of the Company.

13.

EFFECTIVE PERIOD AND TERMINATION

This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for an initial term ending December 31, 2017 (the “Initial Term”). After the expiration of the Initial Term, this Agreement shall automatically renew for successive one-year terms (each, a “Renewal Term”) unless a written notice of non-renewal is delivered by the non-renewing party no later than ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any Renewal Term, as the case may be. During the Initial Term and thereafter, either party may terminate this Agreement: (i) in the event of the other party’s material breach of a material provision of this Agreement that the other party has either (a) failed to cure or (b) failed to establish a remedial plan to cure that is reasonably acceptable, within sixty (60) days’ written notice of such breach, or (ii) in the event of the appointment of a conservator or receiver for the other party or upon the happening of a like event to the other party at the direction of an appropriate agency or court of competent jurisdiction. Upon termination of this Agreement pursuant to this paragraph with respect to a Company, the applicable Company shall pay Administrator its compensation due and shall reimburse Administrator for its costs, expenses and disbursements incurred and that remain unpaid through the date of termination.

In the event of: (i) a Company’s termination of this Agreement during the Initial Term with respect to such Company for any reason other than as set forth in the immediately preceding paragraph or (ii) a transaction not in the ordinary course of business pursuant to which the Administrator is not retained to continue providing services hereunder to such Company (or its respective successor), the applicable Company shall pay the Administrator its compensation due through the end of the then-current term (based upon the average monthly compensation previously earned by Administrator with respect to such Company) and shall reimburse the Administrator for its costs, expenses and disbursements. Upon receipt of such payment and reimbursement, the Administrator will deliver such Company’s records as set forth herein. For the avoidance of doubt, no payment will be required pursuant to clause (ii) of this paragraph in

the event of any transaction such as (a) the liquidation or dissolution of a Company and distribution of such Company’s assets as a result of the Board’s determination in its reasonable business judgment that such Company is no longer viable, (b) a merger of a Company into, or the consolidation of a Company with, another entity, or (c) the sale by a Company of all, or substantially all, of such Company’s assets to another entity, in each of (b) and (c) where the Administrator is retained to continue providing services to such Company (or its respective successor) on substantially the same terms as this Agreement.
