WHEREAS, each Trust is a registered management investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”);

WHEREAS, the Trust wishes to engage the Administrator to provide certain administrative services listed in Appendix B annexed hereto to each Trust with respect to the series of the Trust designated in Appendix A annexed hereto from time to time (the “Funds”); and the Administrator is willing to furnish such services on the terms and conditions hereinafter set forth; and

WHEREAS, the Administrator has entered into an agreement with Xxxxx Brothers Xxxxxxxx & Co. (“BBH”) pursuant to which BBH will act as a sub-administrator to the Administrator (as amended from time to time, the “BBH Agreement”) and to which each Trust has joined as a party solely for the purposes specified therein;

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed as follows:

1. Each Trust hereby engages the Administrator to provide and perform the administrative services listed on Appendix B annexed hereto (as such Appendix may be revised from time to time by agreement of the parties) with respect to each Fund, except that it is understood that the Administrator has entered into the BBH Agreement, with the approval of the Trusts’ Boards of Trustees (the “Board”), to perform certain accounting an other services listed in Appendix B and, for the closed-end Funds, certain additional services specified in the BBH Agreement, for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement. The Administrator accepts such engagement and agrees to render the services herein set forth, for the compensation herein provided.

2. Subject to the direction and control of the Board, the Administrator shall perform the administrative services listed on Appendix B, except as otherwise provided in the BBH Agreement with respect to the performance of accounting and other services to be provided by BBH. In no event shall the Administrator be deemed to have assumed any duties with respect to, or be responsible for, the distribution of the shares of any Fund, nor shall the Administrator be deemed to have assumed, or have any responsibility with respect to, functions specifically assumed by any investment adviser, transfer agent, fund accounting agent, custodian, shareholder servicing agent or other agent, in each case directly employed by a Trust or a Fund to perform such functions. With respect to the legal services listed in Appendix B, it is recognized that such legal services are provided for the benefit of the Funds in conjunction with legal services separately provided to the

Funds by their counsel, and nothing in this Agreement shall cause the Administrator to be responsible for bearing the fees and disbursements of counsel to the Funds.

3. With the Board’s approval, BBH has been employed by the Administrator to provide sub-administrative services to the Trust as provided in the BBH Agreement. Subject to the Board’s approval, the Administrator may employ one or more other service providers, including affiliates of the Administrator, to provide certain of the services to be provided by the Administrator under this Agreement, by entering into a written agreement with each such entity on such terms as the Administrator determines to be necessary, desirable or appropriate, provided that in each case such contracts are entered into in accordance with all applicable requirements of the 1940 Act. Except as otherwise provided in paragraph 9, each Trust agrees that the Administrator shall not be accountable to the Trust or any Fund or any Fund’s shareholders for any loss or other liability arising out of any error or omission by BBH or any such other service provider. The Administrator will cooperate with any Fund or Funds in the event that such Fund or Funds seek to assert against BBH claims arising from the performance by BBH of its services under the BBH Agreement, and acknowledges the Funds’ status as named beneficiaries under the BBH Agreement. Similarly, the Administrator will cooperate with any Fund or Funds in the event that such Fund or Funds seek to assert against a transfer agent claims arising from the performance by such transfer agent of its services.

4. Each Trust shall furnish to the Administrator such documents and information as may be necessary or appropriate to enable the Administrator to perform its duties hereunder and with such other documents and information with regard to each Fund’s affairs as the Administrator may from time to time reasonably request.

5. In compliance with the requirements of Rule 31a-3 under the 1940 Act, the Administrator hereby agrees that any records that it maintains hereunder for any Fund are the property of the Fund, and further agrees to surrender promptly to the Fund any of such records upon the Fund’s request. The Administrator further agrees to arrange for the preservation of any of such records required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act.

6. The Administrator shall supply the Board and the officers of each Trust with all information and reports reasonably required by them and reasonably available to the Administrator relating to the services provided by the Administrator hereunder.

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 (or such alternative allocation methodology based on the nature of the services), provided that the costs attributed to services being provided by BBH or any other 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, fund treasury (“Fund Treasury”) and investor-related 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, Fund Treasury and investor-related 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.

(b) The Administrator shall furnish all facilities and personnel necessary for performing the Administrator’s services hereunder and shall furnish to each Trust office space in the offices of the Administrator or in such other place as may be agreed upon from time to time. The Administrator shall pay directly or reimburse each Trust for all expenses not hereinafter specifically assumed by the Trust where such expenses are incurred by the Administrator or by the Trust in connection with the management of the affairs of, and the investment and reinvestment of the assets of, the Trust. Each Trust, on behalf of each Fund that is a series of the Trust, shall assume and shall pay (i) charges and expenses for fund accounting, pricing and appraisal services and related overhead, including, to the extent such services are performed by personnel of a Fund’s investment adviser (the “Manager”) or its affiliates, office space and facilities, and personnel compensation, training and benefits; (ii) the charges and expenses of auditors; (iii) the charges and expenses of any investment adviser, administrator, custodian, transfer agent, plan agent, dividend disbursing agent, registrar or any other agent appointed by the Trust; (iv) issue and transfer taxes chargeable to the Trust in connection with securities transactions to which the Trust is a party; (v) insurance premiums, interest charges, any expenses in connection with any preferred shares or other form of leverage, dues and fees for membership in trade associations and all taxes and corporate fees payable by the Trust to federal, state or other governmental agencies; (vi) fees and expenses involved in registering and maintaining registrations of the Trust and/or its shares with federal regulatory agencies, state or blue sky securities agencies and foreign jurisdictions, including the preparation of prospectuses and statements of additional information for filing with such regulatory authorities; (vii) all expenses of shareholders’ and Board of Trustees’ (the “Board”, and each Board member, a “Trustee”) meetings and of preparing, printing and distributing prospectuses, notices, proxy statements and all reports to shareholders and to governmental agencies; (viii) charges and expenses of legal counsel to the Trust and the Trustees; (ix) any fees paid by the Trust in accordance with Rule 12b-1 promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) pursuant to the 1940 Act; (x) compensation of those Trustees of the Trust who are not affiliated with, or “interested persons” (as defined in the 0000 Xxx) of, the Manager, the Trust (other than as Trustees), Pioneer Investment Management USA Inc. or Pioneer Funds Distributor, Inc.; (xi) the cost of preparing and printing share certificates; (xii) any fees and other expenses of listing the Trust’s shares on the New York Stock Exchange,

American Stock Exchange or any other national stock exchange, (xiii) interest on borrowed money, if any; (xiv) fees payable by the Trust under management agreements and under this Agreement; and (xv) extraordinary expenses. Each Trust shall also assume and pay any other expense that the Trust, the Manager or any other agent of the Trust may incur not listed above that is approved by the Board (including a majority of the independent Trustees) as being an appropriate expense of the Trust. Each Trust shall pay all fees and expenses to be paid by the Trust under the BBH Agreement. In addition, each Trust, on behalf of each Fund that is a series of the Trust, agrees to pay all brokers’ and underwriting commissions chargeable to the Trust in connection with securities transactions to which the Fund is a party.

8. The Administrator assumes no responsibility under this Agreement other than to render the services called for hereunder, in good faith, and shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law, or for any act or omission in the performance of the services, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall protect the Administrator against any liability to a Fund to which the Administrator otherwise would be subject by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties or by reason of its reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder. As used in paragraph 9 and paragraph 10, the term “Administrator” shall include any affiliates of the Administrator performing services for a Trust or any Fund pursuant to this Agreement and the partners, shareholders, directors, officers and employees of the Administrator and such affiliates.

9. Each Fund separately 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 resulting from or arising out of the provision of the Administrator’s services, provided that this indemnification shall not apply to actions or omissions of the Administrator, its officers or employees resulting from or arising out of its or their own willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence. The Administrator shall indemnify and hold each Fund harmless from all loss, cost, damage and expense, including reasonable fees and expenses for counsel, incurred by a Fund resulting from or arising out of the Administrator’s, or its officers’ or employees’ own willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence.

10. Nothing in this Agreement shall limit or restrict the right of any director, officer, or employee of the Administrator who may also be a Trustee, officer, or employee of a Trust or any Fund to engage in any other business or to devote his time and attention in part to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar nature or a dissimilar nature, nor to limit or restrict the right of the Administrator to engage in any other business or to render services of any kind, including investment advisory and management services, to any other fund, firm, individual or association.

11. For purposes of this Agreement, a Fund’s “net assets” shall be determined as provided in the Fund’s then-current Prospectus and Statement of Additional Information, and references to the “1940 Act” shall include any rule, regulation or applicable exemptive order of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) thereunder and the interpretive guidance with respect to the 1940 Act by the SEC or its staff. “Managed assets” means (a) the total assets of a Trust, including any form of investment leverage, minus (b) all accrued liabilities incurred in the normal course of operations, which shall not include any liabilities or obligations attributable to investment leverage obtained through (i) indebtedness of any type (including, without

limitation, borrowing through a credit facility or the issuance of debt securities), (ii) the issuance of preferred stock or other similar preference securities, and/or (iii) any other means. The liquidation preference on any preferred shares is not a liability.

12. This Agreement will become effective with respect to each Fund on the date first above written or such later date set forth opposite the Fund’s name on Appendix A annexed hereto, provided that it shall have been approved by the applicable Trust’s Board, and, unless sooner terminated as provided herein, will continue in effect for each Fund designated on Appendix A on the date hereof until December 31, 2012, and for each Fund added to Appendix A hereafter, until the date specified in Appendix A. Thereafter, if not terminated, this Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to each Fund for successive one-year terms, so long as each such term is approved by the Board.

13. This Agreement is terminable with respect to any Fund (i) without penalty, by the Board or (ii) by the Administrator upon not less than 90 days’ written notice to the applicable Trust. This Agreement may be terminated with respect to one or more Funds without affecting the validity of this Agreement with respect to any other Fund designated on Appendix A.

14. The Administrator agrees that for services rendered to each Fund, or for any claim by it in connection with the services rendered to the Fund under this Agreement, it shall look only to assets of the Fund for satisfaction and that it shall have no claim against the assets of any other portfolios of any Trust. The undersigned officer of the Trusts has executed this Agreement not individually, but as an officer under each Trust’s Declaration of Trust and the obligations of this Agreement are not binding upon any of the Trustees, officers or shareholders of the Trusts individually.

15. No provision of this Agreement may be changed, waived, discharged or terminated orally, but only by an instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the change, waiver, discharge or termination is sought.

16. This Agreement embodies the entire agreement and understanding between the parties hereto and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. Should any part of this Agreement be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. This Agreement shall be binding on and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors.

17. This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions hereof interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

18. This Agreement 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.

19. This Agreement amends and restates in its entirety the prior administration agreement in effect for each Trust and Fund.

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