FUND ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL ADMINISTRATION OVERSIGHT
AGREEMENT

THIS AGREEMENT is made as of the 4th day of January, 2010, (the “Effective Date”) by and between each fund in the Delaware Investments Family of Funds listed on Schedule A (each, a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), having their principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000, and Delaware Service Company, Inc. (“DSC”), a Delaware corporation having its principal place of business at 0000 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, XX 00000.

WHEREAS, each Fund is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) as an investment company under the Investment Company Act of 1940 (the “1940 Act”);

WHEREAS, the Funds have engaged The Bank of New York Mellon (“BNY Mellon”) to provide fund accounting, financial administration and related services for the Funds pursuant to the Fund Accounting and Financial Administration Services Agreement, dated as of October 1, 2007 (the “BNY Mellon Fund Accounting Agreement”);

WHEREAS, the Funds desire that DSC perform the fund accounting, financial administration and related services described in this Agreement for the Funds to supplement the services provided by BNY Mellon pursuant to the BNY Mellon Fund Accounting Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Funds also desire that DSC establish and monitor certain service level requirements with respect to BNY Mellon’s performance of its duties pursuant to the BNY Mellon Fund Accounting Agreement; and

WHEREAS, DSC is willing to perform the aforementioned services on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement;

NOW, THEREFORE, in exchange for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are acknowledged, and intending to be legally bound, the Funds and DSC agree as follows:

1. Services

DSC shall perform for each Fund and its series (including all share classes) listed in Schedule A, the fund accounting, financial administration and related services set forth in Schedule B to this Agreement (“Services”). A Fund may add to, or delete from, this Agreement a Fund series and/or class if such Fund series and/or class is added to, or deleted from, the BNY Mellon Fund Accounting Agreement. Such addition or deletion must be evidenced by amending Schedule A. Each existing and future series of a Fund (including all share classes) covered by this Agreement is individually and collectively referred to as a “Portfolio.” DSC may perform other services for each Fund only upon terms, conditions and compensation that DSC and the Fund mutually agree to, as evidenced by an amendment to this Agreement or Schedule B. To the extent that BNY Mellon does not consent to the addition of a new Portfolio or share class to the BNY Mellon Fund Accounting Agreement and a different service provider is engaged to provide the fund accounting and financial administration services for such Portfolio or share class, DSC agrees to negotiate in good faith with the applicable Fund concerning the provision of the fund accounting and financial administration oversight services for such Portfolio or share class given the scope of services to be provided by the new fund accounting and financial administration service provider.

2. Compensation and Expenses

A. In return for performing the Services, the Funds shall compensate DSC as set forth in this Section and in Schedule C to this Agreement. Fees due shall be accrued daily. If this Agreement is lawfully terminated before the end of any month, fees shall be calculated on a pro rated basis through the date of termination and shall be due upon the Agreement’s termination date.

B. The Funds will pay all of their own expenses that are incurred in the Funds’ operation and not specifically assumed by DSC. Expenses to be borne by the Funds include, but are not limited to: pricing, security and other similar data information vendor services; organizational expenses; costs of services of the Funds’ independent registered public accounting firm (“independent accountant”) and the Funds’ outside legal and tax counsel (including such counsel’s review of the Funds’ registration statements, proxy materials, federal and state tax qualification as regulated investment companies and any review of reports and materials prepared by DSC under this Agreement); costs of any services contracted for by the Funds directly from parties other than DSC; trade association dues; costs of trading operations and brokerage fees, commissions and transfer taxes in connection with the purchase and sale of securities for the Funds; investment advisory fees; taxes; Fund insurance premiums and other Fund insurance-related fees and expenses applicable to their operations; costs incidental to any meetings of shareholders, including, but not limited to, legal and auditor fees, proxy filing fees and the costs of printing and mailing of any proxy materials; costs incidental to Fund board meetings, including fees and expenses of Fund board members, but excluding costs specifically assumed by DSC; the salary and expenses of any officer, director/trustee or employee of the Funds who is not also a DSC employee; registration fees, filing fees, and costs incidental to the preparation, typesetting, printing and/or distribution, as applicable, of the Funds’ registration statements on Forms X-0X, X-0, X-0, X-0, X-0, and N-14, as applicable, and any amendments thereto, shareholder reports on Form N-CSR, Form N-SAR, Form N-Q, Form N-PX, tax returns, and all notices, registrations and amendments associated with applicable federal and state tax and securities laws; and other expenses properly payable by the Funds.

C. The Funds agree to reimburse DSC for its actual out-of-pocket expenses in providing the Services, including without limitation, the following:

	(i)		Electronic transmission expenses incurred by DSC in communicating with each Fund, the Fund’s investment advisers (which term, for purposes of this Agreement, shall be interpreted to include any sub-advisers) or custodian, BNY Mellon, dealers or others as required for DSC to perform the Services if a Fund officer requests such electronic transmission and provides DSC with prior written approval;

	(ii)		The cost of creating microfilm, microfiche or electronic copies of Fund records, and the cost of storage of paper and electronic copies of Fund records;

	(iii)		The charges for services provided by the vendors set forth on Schedule D;

	(iv)		Any additional expenses reasonably incurred by DSC in the performance of the Services, provided that: (a) if any individual expense is less than $1,000, DSC shall provide prior written notice to the applicable Fund to the extent practicable; and (b) if any individual expense is $1,000 or more, DSC shall obtain the prior written consent of an officer of the applicable Fund;

	(v)		In the event that DSC is requested or authorized by the Funds or is required by law, summons, subpoena, investigation, examination or other legal or regulatory process to produce documents or personnel with respect to the Services, and so long as DSC is not the subject of the investigation or proceeding in question, the Funds will reimburse DSC for its actual out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in responding to these requests; and

	(vi)		Any additional expenses incurred by DSC at the written direction of a Fund officer.

D. DSC shall be entitled to receive the following amounts:

	(i)		Any systems development and project fees for new or enhanced services requested by the Funds (including significant enhancements required by regulatory changes), and all systems-related expenses associated with the provision of special reports and services, in each case as agreed upon by a Fund officer in advance; and

	(ii)		Ad hoc reporting fees billed at an agreed upon rate.

E. DSC shall xxxx each Fund on a monthly basis for the fees and expenses owed to DSC by such Fund under this Agreement. The monthly xxxx shall be set forth on a detailed invoice in a form mutually agreed upon by DSC and the Funds. DSC shall send such invoice to each Fund no later than fifteen (15) days after the last day of each month; provided, however, that the failure by DSC to do so shall not be considered a breach of this Agreement. Each Fund shall pay such invoice within fifteen (15) days of receipt of such invoice by such Fund. In the event that a Fund does not receive an invoice within fifteen (15) days after the last day of a month, such Fund shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of receipt of such invoice to pay DSC. Any undisputed fees or expenses that are not paid by a Fund within the required time frame shall be subject to a late fee of 1.5% of the amount billed for each month that such fees or expenses remain unpaid, and the late fee shall be due and payable upon demand. If any fees or expenses are disputed by a Fund, DSC and such Fund shall work together in good faith to resolve the dispute promptly.

F. DSC will assume responsibility for the costs of its ordinary and necessary office facilities (including telephone, telephone transmission, and telecopy expenses), equipment and personnel to perform the Services, including the compensation of its employees who serve as Fund trustees, directors or officers. In the event that DSC is the subject of an examination, subpoena, investigation, proceeding or legal or regulatory process relating to the Services it provides to the Funds (“DSC Services Inquiry”), and if DSC requests that the Funds provide, or if the Funds are required by law, summons, subpoena, investigation, examination or other legal or regulatory process, to produce documents or personnel with respect to the Services, then DSC will reimburse the Funds for their actual out-of-pocket expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in responding to these requests.

3. Length and Termination of Agreement

A. For purposes of this Section 3, the term “Effective Date” shall mean October 1, 2007. The term of this Agreement shall begin on the Effective Date and continue for an initial term of seven (7) years (the “Initial Term”). Unless otherwise terminated in accordance with its terms, DSC shall either (i) request that this Agreement be extended for an additional five (5) year period, or (ii) indicate that this Agreement will be terminated upon the expiration of the Initial Term or a Renewal Term (as defined below), as the case may be, in either case by sending a written notice of its intent to the Fund no later than three (3) months prior to the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date of the Initial Term or the third anniversary of the effective date of a Renewal Term (as the case may be). If DSC requests that this Agreement be extended for an additional five (5) year period and the Fund does not reject such request in writing to DSC by the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date of the Initial Term or the fourth anniversary of the effective date of a Renewal Term (as the case may be), this Agreement shall be extended for an additional five (5) year period (a “Renewal Term”). If either (a) DSC indicates that this Agreement will be terminated upon the expiration of the Initial Term or a Renewal Term (as the case may be) by sending a written notice of its intent to the Fund no later than three (3) months prior to the fifth anniversary of the Effective Date of the Initial Term or the third anniversary of the effective date of a Renewal Term (as the case may be), or (b) the Fund respond to DSC’s request to extend for an additional five (5) year period by rejecting such request in writing to DSC no later than the sixth anniversary of the Effective Date of the Initial Term or the fourth anniversary of the effective date of a Renewal Term (as the case may be), this Agreement shall terminate upon the expiration of the Initial Term or such Renewal Term (as the case may be). Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall renew automatically in event that the Mellon Fund Accounting Agreement is renewed.

B. A party may terminate this Agreement for one or more of the following reasons, provided the terminating party provides the applicable written notice to the other party or parties of the reason for such termination:

(i) Non-Renewal: DSC or the Funds may decline to extend the terms of this Agreement beyond the Initial Term under subparagraph A of this Section;

(ii) Mutual Agreement: The parties may mutually agree in writing to terminate this Agreement at any time;

(iii) “For Cause”: A party may terminate the Agreement “For Cause,” as defined below, by providing the other party or parties with 60 days’ advance written notice;

(iv) Termination of Investment Manager: Upon the termination of the investment management agreement(s) between a Fund (on behalf of its Portfolio(s)) and its investment adviser, whether terminated by the investment adviser, the Fund, its board of directors/trustees or its shareholders, this Agreement shall automatically terminate; provided, however, that neither (a) a change in such Fund’s investment adviser to another investment adviser that is under common ownership with such Fund’s investment adviser or its successor, nor (b) entering into a new investment management agreement with any such investment adviser shall automatically terminate this Agreement. In event of the automatic termination of this Agreement with respect to a Fund due to the termination of such Fund’s investment management agreement, DSC agrees to negotiate in good faith with the applicable Fund in connection with DSC’s provision of Services during the transition to a new fund accounting and financial administration oversight service provider. For purposes of this subparagraph B(iv) only, the term “investment adviser” does not include any subadvisers; and

(v) Termination of BNY Mellon Fund Accounting Agreement: This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event that the BNY Mellon Fund Accounting Agreement is terminated, provided that DSC agrees to negotiate in good faith with the Funds to enter into a new fund accounting and financial administration oversight agreement reflecting the appropriate scope of services to be provided by DSC given the scope of services to be provided by BNY Mellon’s successor as fund accounting provider.

For purposes of subparagraph (iii) above, “For Cause” shall mean:

(a) a material breach of this Agreement that has not been remedied for 30 days following written notice by the non-breaching party or parties that identifies in reasonable detail the alleged failure of the other party or parties to perform, provided that if such default is capable of being cured, then the defaulting party or parties are entitled to such longer period as may reasonably be required to cure such default if the defaulting party or parties have commenced such cure and are diligently pursuing same, but such cure must be completed within 120 days in any event;

(b) when a party commits any act or omission that constitutes negligence, willful misconduct, fraud or reckless disregard of its duties under this Agreement and that act or omission results in material adverse consequences to the other party or parties;

(c) a final, unappealable judicial, regulatory or administrative ruling or order in which the party or parties to be terminated have been found guilty of criminal or unethical behavior in the conduct of their business that directly relates to the subject matter of the Services; or

(d) when a party shall make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors or any proceeding shall be instituted by or against such party to adjudicate it as bankrupt or insolvent, or to seek to liquidate, wind up, or reorganize such party, or protect or relieve such party’s debts under any law, or to seek the entry of an order for relief or the appointment of a receiver, trustee or other similar official for it or for a substantial portion of its assets, which proceeding shall remain unstayed for sixty (60) days or such party has taken steps to authorize any of the above actions or has become unable to pay its debts as they mature.

C. If this Agreement is terminated by any party (regardless of whether it is terminated pursuant to paragraph B. above or for any reason other than those specified in paragraph B. above), the Funds shall pay to DSC on or before the effective date of such termination any undisputed and unpaid fees, and shall reimburse DSC for any undisputed and unpaid out-of-pocket costs and expenses owed to DSC under this Agreement prior to its termination.

D. If either (i) DSC terminates this Agreement with respect to a Fund at any time for any reason other than those specified in paragraph B. above, or (ii) a Fund terminates this Agreement with respect to such Fund at any time “For Cause” under subparagraph B(iii) of this Section, then DSC shall reimburse such Fund for any Costs and Expenses incurred by such Fund in connection with converting such Fund to a successor service provider with respect to the Services, including without limitation the delivery to such successor service provider, such Fund and/or other Fund service providers any of such Fund’s property, records, data, instruments and documents.

E. If this Agreement is terminated (i) by DSC and/or the Funds, as the case may be, at any time for “nonrenewal” or “upon mutual agreement” under subparagraphs B(i) and B(ii), respectively, (ii) by DSC at any time as a result of the “termination of investment manager” under subparagraph B(iv), (iii) by the Funds at any time for any reason other than those specified in paragraph B above, or (iv) by DSC at any time “For Cause” under subparagraph B(iii) of this Section, the Funds shall reimburse DSC promptly for any Costs and Expenses incurred by DSC in connection with effecting such termination and converting the Funds to a successor service provider with respect to the Services, including without limitation the delivery to such successor service provider, the Funds and/or other Fund service providers any of the Funds’ property, records, data, instruments and documents.

F. For purposes of this Section 3, “Costs and Expenses” incurred by a party shall mean any provable, reasonable, customary and direct costs and expenses actually incurred by such party. For purposes of this Section 3, Costs and Expenses shall not include any wind-down costs, including, without limitation, non-cancelable lease payments; severance payments due and payable to DSC or sub-contractors’ personnel; unused equipment expense; and non-cancelable payments or termination charges regarding hosting and other subcontracting services that were not incurred at the written direction of the Funds and that cannot be transferred or redeployed by DSC. Such party must provide the other party with written evidence of such costs and expenses before the other party is obligated to pay them. Such party also has a duty to mitigate, and must exercise its duty to mitigate, such costs and expenses. Except as expressly set forth in Sections 3 and 9 and Schedule C, no party hereto shall be responsible for any costs and expenses or damages of any kind whatsoever resulting from, related to or otherwise in connection with the termination of this Agreement.

G. In the event of the termination of this Agreement, DSC agrees to cooperate and act in good faith to ensure an orderly transition to DSC’s successor with respect to the Services provided herein. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing sentence, DSC agrees that, in the event that this Agreement is terminated by a party or the parties, DSC shall deliver a Fund’s or the Funds’ property, records, data, instruments and documents to such Fund or Funds, its or their successor service providers and/or its or their other service providers, as the case may be, in a non-proprietary, commercially available format.

H. The termination of this Agreement with respect to any given Fund or Portfolio shall in no way affect the continued validity of this Agreement with respect to any other Fund or Portfolio.

4. Amendments, Assignment and Delegation
