Instructions 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

Instructions or Written Instructions unless, under the terms of other

party without restriction; (e) is required to be disclosed by the

party will provide the party whose information being disclosed
written notice of such requirement, to the extent such notice is
permitted); (f) is relevant to the defense of any claim or cause of
action asserted against the receiving party; or (g) has been or is

to each Portfolio. PFPC shall take all reasonable action in the
performance of its duties under this Agreement to assure that the
necessary information is made available to such accountants for the
expression of their opinion, as required by Monument or (upon request
by Monument or the Fund) the Securities Laws.

property, PFPC shall retain

connection with the services provided by PFPC hereunder.
11. DISASTER RECOVERY. 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 Monument
or 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, gross 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, Monument will pay to PFPC (out of the
assets of the Fund) a fee or fees as may be agreed to in writing by
Monument, the Fund and PFPC.
13. INDEMNIFICATION. Monument agrees to indemnify and hold harmless PFPC
and its affiliates (out of the assets of the Fund) from all taxes,
charges, expenses, assessments, claims and liabilities (including,

arising under the Securities 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
8
9
connection with the provision of services hereunder. 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. Any amounts payable under this Section 13 shall be
satisfied only against the relevant Portfolio's assets and not
against the assets of any other investment portfolio of the Fund.
14. RESPONSIBILITY OF PFPC.
(a) PFPC shall be under no duty hereunder to take any action
hereunder except as specifically set forth herein or as may
be specifically agreed to by PFPC, Monument and the Fund in
a written amendment hereto. PFPC shall be obligated to
exercise care and diligence in the performance of its
duties hereunder and to act in good faith in performing
services provided for under this Agreement. PFPC shall be
liable only for any damages arising out of PFPC's failure
to perform its duties under this Agreement to the extent
such damages arise out of PFPC's willful misfeasance, bad
faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of such
duties.
(b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of any
other provision of this Agreement, (i) PFPC shall not be
liable for losses beyond its control, including without
limitation (subject to Section 11), delays or errors or
loss of data occurring by reason of circumstances beyond
PFPC's control, provided that PFPC has acted in accordance
with the standard set forth in Section 14(a) above; and
(ii) PFPC shall not be under any duty or obligation to
inquire into and shall not be liable for the validity
9
10
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.
(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary,
neither PFPC nor its affiliates shall be liable for any
consequential, special or indirect losses or damages,
whether or not the likelihood of such losses or damages was
known by PFPC or its affiliates. Notwithstanding anything
in this Agreement to the contrary, PFPC's cumulative
liability to Monument and the Fund for all losses, claims,
suits, controversies, breaches or damages for any cause
whatsoever (including but not limited to those arising out
of or related to this Agreement) and regardless of the form
of action or legal theory shall not exceed the fees
received by PFPC for services provided hereunder during the
12 months immediately prior to the date of such loss or
damage, unless such loss or damage is finally determined by
a state or federal court having jurisdiction to have been
proximately and directly caused by PFPC's gross negligence.
No party may assert a cause of action against PFPC or any
of its affiliates that allegedly occurred more than 12
months immediately prior to the filing of the suit (or, if
applicable, commencement of mediation sessions or
arbitration proceedings) alleging such cause of action;
except, however, that this proscription will not apply (i)
unless Monument or the Fund had knowledge of the
circumstances and accordingly knew or should have known of
the existence of the claim during that
10
11
time period; (ii) if PFPC or any of its affiliates
withheld information from the party asserting the claim
that would have been deemed material in the decision to
file a claim; (iii) if PFPC or any of its affiliates
employed delaying tactics that resulted in the passage of
the time period during which a claim would have been filed
but for the delaying tactics; or (iv) if, during the
12-month period following the action giving rise to the
claim, the party asserting the claim notifies PFPC or any
of its affiliates in writing of its intent to commence a
legal action once sufficient information has been
collected.
(e) Each party shall have a duty to mitigate damages for which
another party may become responsible.
