information of the Fund, all records and other information relative to the
Fund's prior, present or potential shareholders, and to not use such records and
information for any purpose other than performance of Service Provider's
responsibilities and duties hereunder. Service Provider may seek a waiver of
such confidentiality provisions by furnishing reasonable prior notice to the
Fund and UAMFSI
7
and obtaining approval in writing from the Fund and UAMFSI, which approval shall
not be unreasonably withheld and may not be withheld where Service Provider may
be exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to comply, when
requested to divulge such information by duly constituted authorities. Waivers
of confidentiality are automatically effective without further action by Service
Provider with respect to Internal Revenue Service levies, subpoenas and similar
actions, or with respect to any request by the Fund or UAMFSI.

(a) In the performance of its duties hereunder, Service Provider
shall be obligated to act in good faith in performing the services provided for

and warrants that Service Provider shall be entitled to rely on any oral or
written instructions, notices or other communications, including electronic
transmissions, from UAMFSI and the Fund and its custodians, officers and
directors, investors, agents, legal counsel and other service providers which

advice and opinions of outside legal counsel retained by UAMFSI and/or the Fund,
as necessary or appropriate.
(b) Service Provider shall not be liable for any error of judgment or
mistake of law or for any loss or expense suffered by the Fund or UAMFSI, in
connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates, except for a loss

director, partner, employee or agent of the Fund, shall be deemed when rendering
services to the Fund or acting on any business of the Fund (other than services
or business in connection with Service Provider's duties hereunder) to be
rendering such services to or acting solely for the Fund and not as an officer,
director, partner, employee or agent or person under the control or direction of
Service Provider even though paid by Service Provider. In no event shall
Service Provider be liable to the Fund, UAMFSI or any other party for special,
indirect or consequential loss or damage of any kind whatsoever (including but
not limited to lost profits), even if Service Provider has been advised of the
likelihood of such loss or damage and regardless of the form of action.

responsible for, and UAMFSI shall indemnify and hold Service Provider harmless

required to be taken pursuant to this Agreement;

or agents of information, records, or documents which are received by Service
Provider or its officers or agents and furnished to it or them by or on behalf

and/or the Fund or any third party on behalf of UAMFSI and/or the Fund;
(iii) UAMFSI's refusal or failure to comply with the terms of
this Agreement or UAMFSI's lack of good faith, or its actions, or lack thereof,
involving negligence or willful misfeasance;

hereunder;

provided to Service Provider by data and pricing services;

any requirement under the Federal securities laws or regulations or the
securities laws or regulations of any state, or in violation of any stop order
or other determination or ruling by any Federal agency or any state agency with
respect to the offer or sale of such shares in such state (1) resulting from
activities, actions, or omissions by the Fund or its other service providers and
agents, or (2) existing or arising out of activities, actions or omissions by or
on behalf of the Fund prior to the effective date of this Agreement;
(viii) any failure of the Fund's registration statement to comply
with the 1933 Act and the 1940 Act (including the rules and regulations
thereunder) and any other applicable laws, or any untrue statement of a material
fact or omission of a material fact necessary to make any statement therein not
misleading in a Fund's prospectus; and
(ix) the actions taken by UAMFSI, its investment advisers, and
its distributor in compliance with applicable securities, tax, commodities and
other laws, rules and regulations, or the failure to so comply.
8. Term. This Agreement shall become effective on the date first
hereinabove written and shall continue through October 31, 2002, unless sooner
terminated, as provided
10
herein. Thereafter, unless sooner terminated, this Agreement shall continue in
effect from year to year provided such continuance is specifically approved by
UAMFSI. This Agreement may be modified or amended from time to time by mutual
agreement between the parties hereto. This Agreement may be terminated by UAMFSI
on 90 days' prior written notice if Service Provider fails to meet 90% of the
service standards set forth in Schedule D during any twelve-month period after
the inception of this Agreement. In addition, this Agreement may be terminated:
(a) by the mutual written agreement of the parties; (b) by either party hereto
on 90 days' written notice, as of the end of the Initial Term or the end of any
Renewal Term; (c) by either party hereto on such date as is specified in written
notice given by the terminating party, in the event of a material breach of this
Agreement by the other party, provided the terminating party has notified the
other party of such breach at least 90 days prior to the specified date of
termination and the breaching party has not remedied such breach by the
specified date; (d) effective upon the filing of a petition for bankruptcy or
seeking protection from creditors of either party; or (e) as to any Portfolio or
Fund, effective upon the liquidation of such Portfolio or Fund, as the case may
be. For purposes of this Paragraph 8, the term "liquidation" shall mean a
transaction in which the assets of a Fund or a Portfolio are sold or otherwise
disposed of and proceeds therefrom are distributed in cash to the shareholders
in complete liquidation of the interests of such shareholders in the entity.
This Agreement will automatically terminate upon the termination of the
Administration Agreement between UAMFSI and the Fund. Upon termination of this
Agreement, UAMFSI shall pay to Service Provider such compensation and any
out-of-pocket or other reimbursable expenses which may become due or payable
under the terms hereof as of the date of termination or after the date that the
provision of services ceases, whichever is later.

10. Assignability. This Agreement shall not be assigned by either of the
parties hereto without the prior consent in writing of the other party;
provided, however, that Service Provider may in its own discretion and without
limitation or prior consent of the Fund or UAMFSI, whenever and on such terms
and conditions as Service Provider deems necessary or appropriate, subcontract,
delegate or assign its rights, duties, obligations and liabilities to
subsidiaries or affiliates of Service Provider; provided, further, that any such
subcontract, agreement or understanding shall not discharge Service Provider or
its affiliates or subsidiaries, as the case may be, from its obligations
hereunder. Similarly, Service Provider or its affiliated subcontractor,
designee, or assignee may at its discretion, without notice to the Fund or
UAMFSI, enter into such subcontracts, agreements and understandings, whenever
and on such terms and conditions as Service Provider or they deem necessary or
appropriate to perform services hereunder, with non-affiliated third parties;
provided, that such subcontract, agreement or understanding shall not discharge
Service Provider, or its subcontractor, designee, or assignee, as the case may
be, from Service Provider's obligations hereunder. Service Provider or its
affiliated subcontractor, designee, or assignee shall, however, be discharged
from Service Provider's obligations hereunder, if UAMFSI, the Fund or its
sponsor, investment advisers or distributor require Service Provider or its
affiliated subcontractor, designee, or assignee to enter into any subcontract,
agreement or understanding to perform services hereunder with any non-affiliated
third party; and UAMFSI shall indemnify and hold harmless Service Provider and
its affiliated subcontractor, designee, or assignee from and against, any and
all losses, damages, costs, reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, payments,
expenses and liabilities arising out of or attributable to such subcontract,
agreement or understanding.
12
11. Waiver. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any
term of this Agreement on any occasion shall not be considered a waiver nor
shall it deprive such party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict
adherence to that term or any term of this Agreement. Any waiver must be in
writing signed by the waiving party.
12. Force Majeure. Service Provider shall not be responsible or liable
for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement
arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its
control, including without limitation, acts of God, earthquakes, fires, floods,
wars, acts of civil or military authorities, or governmental actions, nor shall
any such failure or delay give the Fund the right to terminate this Agreement.
13. Amendments. This Agreement may be modified or amended from time to
time by mutual written agreement between the parties. No provision of this
Agreement may be changed, discharged, or terminated orally, but only by an
instrument in writing signed by the party against which enforcement of the
change, discharge or termination is sought. The addition of new portfolios or
new classes of portfolios to the Fund will be deemed self-executing amendments
to this Agreement requiring no further action, subject to the approval of
Service Provider. Such self-executing amendments will be subject to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, and may in no other way alter the terms and
conditions contained herein, unless done so by mutual written agreement between
the parties.
14. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or
unenforceable, the balance of the Agreement shall remain in effect, and if any
provision is inapplicable to any person or circumstance it shall nevertheless
remain applicable to all other persons and circumstances.

LAWS OF THE STATE OF MASSACHUSETTS (EXCLUDING ITS CHOICE OF LAW PROVISIONS),
