Except as specifically set forth herein, PFPC assumes no responsibility for such compliance by the Fund or any other entity.

5. Instructions.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, PFPC shall act only upon Oral Instructions or Written Instructions.

(b) PFPC shall be entitled to rely upon any Oral Instruction or Written Instruction it receives from an Authorized Person (or from a person reasonably believed by PFPC to be an Authorized Person) pursuant to this Agreement. PFPC may assume that any Oral Instruction or Written Instruction received hereunder is not in any way inconsistent with the provisions of organizational documents or this Agreement or of any vote, resolution or proceeding of the Fund’s Board of Trustees or of the Fund’s shareholders, unless and until PFPC receives Written Instructions to the contrary.

Where Oral Instructions or Written Instructions reasonably appear to have been received from an Authorized Person, PFPC shall incur no liability to the Fund in acting in conformance with such Oral Instructions or Written Instructions provided that PFPC’s actions comply with the other provisions of this Agreement.

(c) Conflicting Advice. In the event of a conflict between directions or advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions PFPC receives from the Fund, and the advice it receives from counsel, PFPC may rely upon and follow the advice of counsel. Reliance on such advice, however, does not excuse PFPC from its duties under this Agreement.

(d) Protection of PFPC. PFPC shall be protected in any action it takes or does not take in reliance upon directions or advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions it receives from the Fund or from counsel and which PFPC believes, in good faith, to be consistent with those directions or advice or Oral Instructions

4

or Written Instructions. Nothing in this section shall be construed so as to impose an obligation upon PFPC (i) to seek such directions or advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions, or (ii) to act in accordance with such directions or advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions unless, under the terms of other provisions of this Agreement, the same is a condition of PFPC’s properly taking or not taking such action.

8. Confidentiality. Each party shall keep confidential any information relating to the other party’s business (“Confidential Information”) except receiving party may disclose Confidential Information to its directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants or representatives who have a need to know such information in connection with the performance of the Agreement, and its applicable regulatory authorities and auditors.

10. PFPC System. PFPC shall retain title to and ownership of any and all data bases, computer programs, screen formats, report formats, interactive design techniques, derivative works, inventions, discoveries, patentable or copyrightable matters, concepts, expertise, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and other related legal rights utilized by PFPC in connection with the services provided by PFPC to the Fund.

PFPC shall enter into and shall maintain in effect with appropriate parties one or more agreements making reasonable provisions for emergency use of electronic data processing equipment to the extent appropriate equipment is available. In the event of equipment failures, PFPC shall, at no additional expense to the Fund, take reasonable steps to minimize service interruptions. PFPC shall have no liability with respect to the loss of data or service interruptions caused by equipment failure, provided such loss or interruption is not caused by PFPC’s own willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties or obligations under this Agreement.

12. Compensation. As compensation for services rendered by PFPC during the term of this Agreement, the Fund will pay to PFPC a fee or fees as may be agreed to from time to time in writing by the Fund and PFPC.

Laws and any state and foreign securities and blue sky laws) arising directly or indirectly from any action or omission to act which PFPC takes in connection with the provision of services to the Fund. Neither PFPC, nor any of its affiliates, shall be indemnified against any liability (or any expenses incident to such liability) caused by PFPC’s or its affiliates’ own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, provided that in the absence of a finding to the contrary the acceptance, processing and/or negotiation of a fraudulent payment for the purchase of Shares shall be presumed not to have been the result of PFPC’s or its affiliates own willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of such duties and obligations. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

14. Responsibility of PFPC.

(a) PFPC 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 PFPC and the Fund in a written amendment hereto.

8

has acted in accordance with the standard set forth in Section 14(a) above and has otherwise fulfilled its obligation under this Agreement; and (ii) PFPC 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 PFPC reasonably believes to be genuine.
