AMENDMENT NO. 1
to
Amended and Restated
Administration Agreement
This AMENDMENT NO. 1 (this "Amendment") to the Amended and Restated
Administration Agreement, dated as of July 1, 2008 (the "Agreement"), is made as
of this 1st day of January, 2009 by and between each Trust listed on Appendix A
hereto (each, a "Trust"), each a Delaware statutory trust, and Pioneer
Investment Management, Inc., a Delaware corporation (the "Administrator").
WHEREAS, pursuant to the Agreement, each Trust has engaged the
Administrator to provide certain administrative services to the Trust with
respect to the series of the Trust designated on Appendix A hereto (each, a
"Fund"); and
WHEREAS, the Agreement provides that the fees payable to the
Administrator thereunder will be reviewed from time to time; and
WHEREAS, each Trust and the Administrator acknowledge that the costs to
the Administrator for providing the services under the Agreement during the past
year exceeded the compensation provided in the Agreement; and
WHEREAS, each Trust and the Administrator desire to amend the Agreement
to increase the amounts payable by the Funds for services provided by the
Administrator under the Agreement during the period from January 1, 2008 through
December 31, 2008 and to provide for the reimbursement from and after January 1,
2009 of the Administrator's costs for services provided under the Agreement;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants
herein contained, it is agreed as follows:
1. Each Trust and the Administrator hereby agree that the compensation payable
by each Fund to the Administrator for its services performed under the Agreement
during the period from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008 shall be
computed daily at an annual rate equal to 0.0275% of the Fund's average daily
net assets (or the Fund's average daily managed assets if so set forth on
Appendix A hereto), provided that such rate shall be 0.0225% in the case of
those Funds indicated on Appendix A as being provided certain accounting
services by a third party. The difference between compensation actually paid by
each Fund to the Administrator during 2008 under the Agreement and the
compensation payable by the Fund in accordance with this Section 1 shall be paid
by the Fund to the Administrator promptly following execution of this Amendment.
2. Each Trust and the Administrator hereby agree that, effective
January 1, 2009, Section 7(a) of the Agreement is deleted in its entirety and
replaced with the following:
7. (a)(i) As compensation for the services performed by the
Administrator under this Agreement, each Fund shall reimburse the
Administrator its pro rata share, based on the Fund's average daily net
assets (or the Fund's average daily managed assets if so set forth on
Appendix A hereto), of the Administrator's costs of providing the
services hereunder, provided that the costs attributed to those Funds
indicated on Appendix A as being provided certain accounting services
by a third party shall be reduced accordingly. In determining the
Administrator's costs of providing services hereunder,
personnel-related costs associated with the Administrator's legal,
compliance and fund accounting, administration and controllership
("FAACS") services shall be allocated in accordance with prescribed
allocation percentages reviewed by the Board from time to time. On a
quarterly basis, the Administrator will provide the Board with
information comparing the Administrator's actual costs of providing
services hereunder and the budgeted amount of such costs to the Funds.
(ii) The Administrator and each Fund agree that the
Administrator and the Board will review at least annually a budget as
to the costs relating to the provision of services by the Administrator
hereunder, which budget shall include the allocation percentages
applicable to personnel-related costs associated with the
Administrator's legal, compliance and FAACS services. Such budgeted
costs and/or such allocation percentages also will be reviewed at other
times should the budgeted costs or the circumstances affecting the
allocation percentages, as the case may be, change materially. In
connection with each review, the Administrator will provide the Board
with such information as the Board may reasonably request.
(iii) Each Fund shall pay amounts due from it hereunder as
promptly as possible after the last day of each month. If this
Agreement is terminated with respect to any Fund as of any date not the
last day of the month, such Fund shall pay amounts due from it
hereunder as promptly as possible after such date of termination.
3. Each Trust and the Administrator hereby agree Appendix A to the
Agreement is deleted in its entirety and replaced with Appendix A attached to
this Amendment.
4. The Agreement, as amended by this Agreement, remains in full force
and effect. This Amendment is limited to the express subject matter hereof and
does not otherwise amend or affect the obligations of the parties under the
Agreement. Capitalized terms which are used herein without definition shall have
the same meanings herein as in the Agreement.
5. This Amendment shall be construed and the provisions hereof
interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of
Massachusetts.
6. This Amendment may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of
which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute
one and the same instrument.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties thereto have caused this Amendment to
be executed by their officers thereunto duly authorized.
