and shall be indemnified by the Fund, 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 such officers
or authorized individuals. The Administrator shall not be held to have notice of
any change of authority of any officer or authorized individual until receipt of

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION
The Administrator shall be responsible for the performance of only such
duties as are set forth in this Agreement, including those set forth on Schedule
B annexed hereto which forms a part hereof, as such Schedule B may be amended

no responsibility for the actions or activities of any other party, including
other service providers. 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 solely caused by or
resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of the Administrator, its
officers or employees. The Administrator shall not be liable for any special,
indirect, incidental, or consequential damages 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. In any event, the Administrator's cumulative liability for each
calendar year (a "Liability Period") with respect to the Fund under this
Agreement, regardless of the form of action or legal theory, shall be limited to
the total annual compensation earned by the Administrator with respect to the
Fund and fees payable hereunder during the preceding Compensation Period, as
defined herein, for any liability or loss suffered by the Fund including, but
not limited to, any liability relating to qualification of the Fund as a
regulated investment company or any liability relating to the Fund'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 Fund'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, 2005 shall be the
date of this Agreement through December 31, 2005 on an annualized basis, and the
Compensation Period for the Liability Period commencing January 1, 2006 and
terminating on December 31, 2006 shall be January 1, 2006 through December 31,
2006.

delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or

without limitation, work stoppage, power or other mechanical failure, computer
virus, natural disaster, governmental action or communication disruption.
The Fund 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 any claim, demand, action or suit
in connection with the Administrator's acceptance of this Agreement, any action
or omission by the Administrator in the performance of its duties hereunder, or
as a result of the Administrator's acting upon any instructions reasonably
believed by it to have been duly authorized by the Fund, provided that this
indemnification shall not apply to actions or omissions of the Administrator,
its officers or employees in cases of its or their own negligence or willful
misconduct.
The indemnification contained herein shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.
9. CONFIDENTIALITY
The Administrator agrees that, except as otherwise required by law or in
connection with any required disclosure to a banking or other regulatory
authority, it will keep confidential all records and information in its
possession relating to the Fund or the Fund's shareholders or shareholder

with the written consent of the Fund.

under this Agreement shall at all times remain the property of the Fund, shall
be readily accessible during normal business hours, and shall be promptly
surrendered upon the termination of the Agreement or otherwise on written
request. The Administrator further agrees that all records which it maintains
pursuant to its duties under this Agreement pursuant to Rule 31a-1 under the
