Article 6. Standard of Care and Indemnification.

FAS shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Investment Company in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates, except a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or from reckless disregard by it of its duties under this Agreement. Any person, even though also an officer, director, trustee, partner, employee or agent of FAS, who may be or become an officer, director, trustee, partner, employee or agent of the Investment Company, shall be deemed, when rendering services to the Investment Company or acting on any business of the Investment Company (other than services or business in connection with the duties of FAS hereunder) to be rendering such services to or acting solely for the Investment Company and not as an officer, director, trustee, partner, employee or agent or one under the control or direction of FAS, even though paid by FAS.

FAS shall be kept indemnified by the Investment Company and be without liability for any action taken or thing done by it in performing the Administrative Services in accordance with the above standards.

FAS shall not be responsible for and the Investment Company or Fund shall indemnify and hold FAS, including its officers, directors, shareholders and their agents, employees and affiliates, harmless against any and all losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees, payments, expenses and liabilities arising out of or attributable to:

(1) The acts or omissions of any custodian, adviser, sub-adviser, fund accountant, distributor, transfer agent or other party contracted by or approved by the Investment Company or Fund.

(2) The reliance on or use by FAS or its agents or subcontractors of information, records and documents in proper form which:

(a) are received by FAS or its agents or subcontractors from any adviser, sub-adviser, fund accountant, distributor, transfer agent or other third party contracted by or approved by the Investment Company or Fund for use in the performance of services under this Agreement; or

(b) have been prepared and/or maintained by the Investment Company or its affiliates or any other person or firm on behalf of the Investment Company.

(3) The reliance on, or the carrying out by FAS or its agents or subcontractors of a Proper Instruction of the Investment Company or the Fund.

“Proper Instruction” means a writing signed or initialed by one or more person or persons as the Board shall have from time to time authorized. Each such writing shall set forth the specific transaction or type of transaction involved. Oral instructions will be deemed to be Proper Instructions if (a) FAS reasonably believes them to have been given by a person previously authorized in Proper Instructions to give such instructions with respect to the transaction involved, and (b) the Investment Company, or the Fund, and FAS promptly cause such oral instructions to be confirmed in writing. Proper Instructions may include communications effected directly between electro-mechanical or electronic devices provided that the Investment Company, or the Fund, and FAS are satisfied that such procedures afford adequate safeguards for the Fund's assets. Proper Instructions may only be amended in writing.

(4) The offer or sale of Shares in violation of any requirement under the federal securities laws or regulations or the securities laws or regulations of any state that such Shares be registered in such state or in violation of any stop order or other determination or ruling by any federal agency or any state with respect to the offer or sale of such Shares in such state.

(5) Any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact contained in the Investment Company’s registration statement, any prospectus or statement of additional information (“SAI”) (as from time to time amended or supplemented) or the omission or alleged omission therefrom of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, unless such statement or omission was made in reliance upon and in conformity with written information furnished to the Investment Company about FAS by or on behalf of FAS expressly for the use in the registration statement, any prospectus or SAI, or any amendment or supplement thereof.

Provided, however, that FAS shall not be protected by this Article 6.C. from liability for any act or omission resulting from FAS's willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence in the performance of or reckless disregard of its duties under this Agreement.

At any time FAS may apply to any officer of the Investment Company or Fund for instructions, and may consult with legal counsel or the Investment Company’s independent accountants with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by FAS under this Agreement, and FAS and its agents or subcontractors shall not be liable and shall be indemnified by the Investment Company or the appropriate Fund for any action reasonably taken or omitted by it in reliance upon such instructions or upon the opinion of such counsel or independent accountant provided such action is not in violation of applicable federal or state laws or regulations.

The Investment Company or Fund shall not be responsible for and FAS shall indemnify and hold the Investment Company or Fund harmless against any and all losses, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees, payments, expenses and liabilities arising out of or attributable to FAS’s willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence on its part in the performance of its duties or reckless disregard by it of its duties under this Agreement.

In order that the indemnification provisions contained in this Article 6 shall apply, upon the assertion of a claim for which any party may be required to indemnify another, the party seeking indemnification (the “Claimant”), shall promptly notify the indemnifying party (the “Indemnifier”) of such assertion. It is further understood that each party will use all reasonable care to identify and notify the Indemnifier promptly concerning any situation that presents or appears likely to present the probability of such a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifier, provided that the failure to give notice as required by this paragraph 6.F. in a timely fashion shall not result in a waiver of any right to indemnification hereunder unless the Indemnifier is prejudiced thereby and then only to the extent of such prejudice. The Claimant shall permit the Indemnifier to assume the defense of any such claim or any litigation resulting from it, provided that Indemnifier’s counsel that is conducting the defense of such claim or litigation shall be approved by the Claimant (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld), and that the Claimant may participate in such defense at its expense.

The Indemnifier, in the defense of any such claim or litigation, shall not, without the consent of the Claimant, consent to entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement that does not include as an unconditional term the giving by the alleging party or plaintiff to the Claimant of a release from all liability in respect to such claim or litigation.

Article 7. Sub-contractors and Assignment.

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

FAS may without further consent on the part of the Investment Company subcontract for the performance of Administrative Services with a sub-contractor selected by FAS.

FAS shall upon instruction from the Investment Company subcontract for the performance of services under this Agreement with an agent selected by the Investment Company, other than as described in 7.B. above, provided, however, that FAS shall in no way be responsible to the Investment Company for the acts and omissions of the agent.

The termination of this Agreement with respect to one Investment Company or Fund shall not result in the termination of this Agreement with respect to any other Investment Company or Fund.
