	(a)	The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless BNY Distributors and its affiliates from all taxes, charges, expenses, assessments, claims and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements and liabilities arising under the Securities Laws and any state and foreign securities and blue sky laws) arising directly or indirectly from any action or omission to act which BNY Distributors takes in connection with the provision of services to the Fund; provided that neither BNY Distributors, nor any of its affiliates, shall be indemnified against any liability (or any expenses incident to such liability) caused by BNY Distributors’ or its

Any amounts payable by the Fund hereunder shall be satisfied only against the relevant Portfolio’s assets and not against the assets of any other investment portfolio of the Fund.

	(b)	The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold harmless BNY Distributors, its officers, directors, and employees, and any person who controls BNY Distributors within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, free and harmless (a) from and against any and all claims, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) losses, damages, charges, payments and liabilities of any sort or kind which BNY Distributors, its officers, directors, employees or any such controlling person may incur under the 1933 Act, under any other statute, at common law or otherwise, arising out of or based upon: (i) any untrue statement, or alleged untrue statement, of a material fact contained in the Fund’s Registration Statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, or sales literature (including amendments and supplements thereto), or (ii) any omission, or alleged omission, to state a material fact required to be stated in the Fund’s Registration Statement, Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information or sales literature (including amendments or supplements thereto), necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances in which made, not misleading, provided, however, that insofar as losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses arise out of or are based upon any


		such untrue statement or omission or alleged untrue statement or omission made in reliance on and in conformity with information furnished to the Fund by BNY Distributors or its affiliated persons for use in the Fund’s Registration Statement, Prospectus, or Statement of Additional Information or sales literature (including amendments or supplements thereto), such indemnification shall not be applicable; and (b) from and against any and all such claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) which BNY Distributors, its officers and directors, or such controlling person, may incur in connection with this Agreement or BNY Distributors’ performance hereunder (but excluding such claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of or based upon any untrue statement, or alleged untrue statement, of a material fact contained in any Registration Statement or any Prospectus or arising out of or based upon any omission, or alleged omission, to state a material fact required to be stated in either any Registration Statement or any Prospectus or necessary to make the statements in either thereof, in light of the circumstances in which made, not misleading), unless such claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including such reasonable attorney’s fees) arise by reason of BNY Distributors’ willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or failure to perform its respective duties and obligations under this Agreement in any material respect. Any amounts payable by the Fund hereunder shall be satisfied only against the relevant Portfolio’s assets and not against the


		assets of any other investment portfolio of the Fund. The Fund acknowledges and agrees that in the event that BNY Distributors, at the request of the Fund, is required to give indemnification comparable to that set forth in this paragraph to any broker-dealer selling Shares of the Fund or servicing agent servicing the shareholders of the Fund and such broker-dealer or servicing agent shall make a claim for indemnification against BNY Distributors, BNY Distributors may make a similar claim for indemnification against the Fund.

	(c)	BNY Distributors agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Fund, its several officers and Board Members and each person, if any, who controls a Portfolio within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act against any and all claims, costs, expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), losses, damages, charges, payments and liabilities of any sort or kind which the Fund, its officers, Board Members or any such controlling person may incur under the 1933 Act, under any other statute, at common law or otherwise, but only to the extent that such liability or expense incurred by the Fund, its officers or Board Members, or any controlling person resulting from such claims or demands arose out of the acquisition of any Shares by any person which may be based upon any untrue statement, or alleged untrue statement, of a material fact contained in the Fund’s Registration Statement, Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information (including amendments and supplements thereto), or any omission, or alleged omission, to state a material fact required to be stated


	therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, if such statement or omission was made in reliance upon information furnished or confirmed in writing to the Fund by BNY Distributors or its affiliated persons (as defined in the 1940 Act). The foregoing rights of indemnification shall be in addition to any other rights to which the Fund or any such person shall be entitled to as a matter of law.

(d)	(i)	Notice of Claim. A party that seeks indemnification under Section 10 (a), (b) or (c) (“Indemnifying Party”) must promptly give the other party (“Indemnified Party”) notice of any legal action. However, a delay in notice does not relieve an indemnifying party of any liability to an Indemnified Party, except to the extent the Indemnifying Party shows that the delay materially prejudiced the defense of the action.

	(ii)	Participating or Assuming the Defense. The Indemnifying Party may participate in the defense at any time or it may assume the defense by giving notice to the Indemnified Party. After assuming the defense, the Indemnifying Party:

	1.	shall select an attorney that is reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnified Party;

	2.	shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any later attorney’s fees or for any other later expenses that the Indemnified Party incurs, except for reasonable investigation costs (unless counsel for the Indemnifying Party concludes that there is a conflict of interest


			between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that requires the Indemnified party to retain separate counsel);

		3.	shall not compromise or settle the action without the Indemnified Party’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and

		4.	shall not be liable for any compromise or settlement made without its consent.

	(iii)	Failing to Assume the Defense; Conflict of Interest. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume the defense of any such action within a reasonable time after receiving notice of the action, or counsel for the Indemnifying Party determines that the Indemnified Party requires separate counsel, the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel retained by the Indemnified Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall not confess judgment or otherwise settle or compromise any action in respect of which the Indemnifying Party will be asked to provide indemnification hereunder without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

11.	Responsibility of BNY Distributors.

	(a)	BNY Distributors shall be under no duty to take any action hereunder on behalf of the Fund except as specifically set forth herein or as may be specifically agreed to by BNY Distributors and the Fund in a written amendment hereto. BNY Distributors shall be obligated to exercise care


		and diligence in the performance of its duties hereunder and to act in good faith in performing services provided for under this Agreement. BNY Distributors shall be liable only for any damages arising out of BNY Distributors’ failure to perform its duties under this Agreement to the extent such damages arise out of BNY Distributors’ willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or failure to perform its respective duties and obligations under this Agreement in any material respect.

	(b)	Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of any other provision of this Agreement, (i) BNY Distributors shall not be liable for losses beyond its control, including, without limitation, delays or errors or loss of data occurring by reason of circumstances beyond BNY Distributors’ control, provided that BNY Distributors has acted in accordance with the standard set forth in Section 11(a) above; and (ii) BNY Distributors shall not be under any duty or obligation to inquire into and shall not be liable for the validity or invalidity or authority or lack thereof of any Oral Instruction or Written Instruction, notice or other instrument which conforms to the applicable requirements of this Agreement, and which BNY Distributors reasonably believes to be genuine.

	(c)	Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither BNY Distributors nor its 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 BNY Distributors or its affiliates.

	(d)	No party may assert a cause of action against BNY Distributors or any of


		its affiliates that allegedly occurred more than twenty four (24) months after signing of the audit opinion of the Fund for the financial year during which facts are known to the Fund that should have alerted it that a basis for such cause of action existed.

	(d)	Each party shall have a duty to mitigate damages for which the other party may become responsible.

	(e)	The provisions of this Section 11 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

	(f)	Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, BNY Distributors shall have no liability either for any error or omission of any of its predecessors as servicer on behalf of the Fund or for any failure to discover any such error or omission.

12.	Duties and Obligations of the Fund.

	(a)	The Fund represents to BNY Distributors that all Registration Statements and Prospectuses filed by the Fund with the SEC under the 1933 Act with respect to the Shares have been prepared in conformity with the requirements of the 1933 Act and the rules and regulations of the SEC thereunder.

BNY Distributors may but shall not be obligated to propose from time to time such amendment or amendments to any Registration Statement and such supplement or supplements to any Prospectus as, in the light of future developments, may, in the opinion of the BNY Distributors’ counsel, be necessary or advisable. BNY Distributors shall promptly notify the Fund of any advice given to it by its counsel regarding the necessity or advisability of amending or supplementing such Registration Statement. If the Fund shall not propose such amendment or amendments and/or supplement or supplements within thirty (30) days after receipt by the Fund of a written request from BNY Distributors to do so, BNY Distributors may, at its option, terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the Fund. The Fund shall not file any amendment to any Registration Statement or supplement to any Prospectus without giving BNY Distributors reasonable notice thereof in advance; provided,


		however, that nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way limit the Fund’s right to file at any time such amendments to any Registration Statements and/or supplements to any Prospectus, of whatever character, as the Fund may deem advisable, such right being in all respects absolute and unconditional. The Fund authorizes BNY Distributors to use any current Prospectus or Statement of Additional Information in the form furnished from time to time in connection with the sale of the Shares.

	(b)	The Fund represents and warrants to BNY Distributors that the Fund is a series of investment company registered under the 1940 Act and the Shares sold by each Portfolio are, and will be, registered under the 1933 Act.

The net asset value of the Shares shall be calculated by the Fund or by another entity on behalf of the Fund. BNY Distributors shall have no duty to inquire into, or liability for, the accuracy of the net asset value per Share as calculated.

	(d)	Whenever in its judgment such action is warranted by unusual market, economic or political conditions or abnormal circumstances of any kind, the Fund may decline to accept any orders for, or make any sales of, the Shares until such time as the Fund deems it advisable to accept such orders and to make such sales, and the Fund shall advise BNY Distributors


		promptly of any such determination.

	(e)	The Fund agrees to execute any and all documents and to furnish any and all information and otherwise to take all actions that may be reasonably necessary in connection with the qualification of the Shares for sale in such states as BNY Distributors may designate.
