2. The Bank hereby accepts appointment and agrees to perform the duties hereinafter set forth.

3. Subject to the provisions of paragraphs 4 and 5 below, the Bank shall compute the net asset value per share of each Series of shares listed on Schedule I hereto (the “Series”) of the Fund and shall value the securities held by the Fund (the “Securities”) at such times and dates and in the manner specified in the then currently effective Prospectus of the Fund.

4. To the extent valuation of Securities or computation of a Series’ net asset value as specified in the Fund’s then currently effective Prospectus is at any time inconsistent with any applicable laws or regulations, the Fund shall immediately so notify the Bank in writing and thereafter shall either furnish the Bank at all appropriate times with the values of such Securities and each Series’ net asset value, or subject to the prior approval of the Bank, instruct the Bank in writing to value Securities and compute each

Series’ net asset value in a manner which the Fund then represents in writing to be consistent with all applicable laws and regulations. The Fund may also from time to time, subject to the prior approval of the Bank, instruct the Bank in writing to compute the value of the Securities or a Series’ net asset value in a manner other than as specified in paragraph 3 of this Agreement. By giving such instruction, the Fund shall be deemed to have represented that such instruction is consistent with all applicable laws and regulations and the then currently effective Prospectus of the Fund. The Fund shall have sole responsibility for determining the method of valuation of Securities and the method of computing each Series’ net asset value.

5. The Fund shall furnish the Bank with any and all instructions, explanations, information, specifications and documentation deemed necessary by the Bank in the performance of its duties hereunder, including, without limitation, the amounts or written formula for calculating the amounts and times of accrual of Fund liabilities and expenses. The Bank shall not be required to include as Fund liabilities and expenses, nor as a reduction of net asset value, any accrual for any federal, state, or foreign income taxes unless the Fund shall have specified to the Bank the precise amount of the same to be included in liabilities and expenses or used to reduce net asset value. The Fund shall also furnish the Bank with bid, offer, or market values of Securities if the Bank notifies the Fund that same are not available to the Bank from a security pricing or similar service utilized, or subscribed to, by the Bank which the Bank in its judgment deems reliable at the time such information is required for calculations hereunder. At any time and from time to time, the Fund also may furnish the Bank with bid, offer, or market values of Securities and instruct the Bank to use such information in its calculations hereunder. The Bank shall at no time be required or obligated to commence or maintain any utilization of, or subscriptions to, any securities pricing or similar service.

6. The Bank shall advise the Fund, the Fund’s custodian and the Fund’s transfer agent of the net asset value of each Series upon completion of the computations required to be made by the Bank pursuant to this Agreement.

7. The Bank shall, as agent for the Fund, maintain and keep current the books, accounts and other documents, if any, listed in Appendix A hereto and made a part hereof, as such Appendix A may be amended from time to time, and preserve any such books, accounts and other documents in accordance with the applicable provisions of Rule 31a-2 of the General Rules and Regulations under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “Rules”). Such books, accounts and other documents shall be made available upon reasonable request for inspection by officers, employees and auditors of the Fund during the Bank’s normal business hours.

8. All records maintained and preserved by the Bank pursuant to this Agreement which the Fund is required to maintain and preserve in accordance with the above-mentioned Rules shall be and remain the property of the Fund and shall be surrendered to the Fund promptly upon request in the form in which such records have been maintained and preserved. Upon reasonable request of the Fund, the Bank shall provide in hard copy or on micro-film, whichever the Bank shall elect, any records included in any such delivery which are maintained by the Bank on a computer disc, or are similarly maintained, and the Fund shall reimburse the Bank for its expenses of providing such hard copy or micro-film.

9. The Bank, in performing the services required of it under the terms of this Agreement, shall be entitled to rely fully on the accuracy and validity of any and all instructions, explanations, information, specifications and documentation furnished to it in writing by the Fund and shall have no duty or obligation to review the accuracy, validity or propriety of such instructions, explanations, information, specifications or documentation, including, without limitation, evaluations of Securities; the amounts or formula for calculating the amounts and times of accrual of Series’ liabilities and expenses; the amounts receivable and the amounts payable on the sale or purchase of Securities; and amounts receivable or amounts payable for the sale or redemption of Fund shares effected by or on behalf of the Fund. In the event the Bank’s computations hereunder rely, in whole or in part, upon information, including, without limitation, bid, offer or market values of Securities or other assets, or accruals of interest or earnings

thereon, from a pricing or similar service utilized, or subscribed to, by the Bank which the Bank in its judgment deems reliable, the Bank shall not be responsible for, under any duty to inquire into, or deemed to make any assurances with respect to, the accuracy or completeness of such information.

10. The Bank shall not be required to inquire into any valuation of Securities or other assets by the Fund or any third party described in preceding paragraph 9 hereof, even though the Bank in performing services similar to the services provided pursuant to this Agreement for others may receive different valuations of the same or different securities of the same issuers.

11. The Bank, in performing the services required of it under the terms of this Agreement, shall not be responsible for determining whether any interest accruable to the Fund is or will be actually paid, but will accrue such interest until otherwise instructed by the Fund.

12. The Bank shall not be responsible for delays or errors which occur by reason of circumstances beyond its control in the performance of its duties under this Agreement, including, without limitation, labor difficulties within or without the Bank, mechanical breakdowns, flood or catastrophe, acts of God, failures of transportation, communication or power supply, or other similar circumstances. Nor shall the Bank be responsible for delays or failures to supply the information or services specified in this Agreement where such delays or failures are caused by the failure of any person(s) other than the Bank to supply any instructions, explanations, information, specifications or documentation deemed necessary by the Bank in the performance of its duties under this Agreement.

13. No provision of this Agreement shall prevent the Bank from offering services similar or identical to those covered by this Agreement to any other corporations, associations or entities of any kind.

14. The Bank may, with respect to questions of law, apply to and obtain the advice and opinion of counsel to the Fund or its own counsel and shall be entitled to rely on the advice or opinion of such counsel, provided that the Bank shall where circumstances reasonably permit notify the Fund in writing prior to obtaining such advice or opinion of counsel. The costs of any such advice or opinion shall be borne by the Fund.

15. In no event shall the Bank be required to accept or act upon any oral instructions; regardless of the circumstances.

willful misconduct of the Bank. In no event shall the Bank be liable to the Company or any third party for special, indirect, or consequential damages, or for lost profits or loss of business, arising under or in connection with this Agreement, even if previously informed of the possibility of such damages and regardless of the form of action.

18.
