In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part of the Administrator, the Administrator shall not be subject to liability to the Adviser, the Fund or to any shareholder of the Fund for any act or omission in the course of, or connected with, rendering services hereunder or for any losses that may be sustained in the purchase, holding or sale of any security or other investment instrument.

This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without payment of any penalty, by the vote of a majority of those Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to this Agreement, the Management Contract or interested persons of any such party, or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund. This Agreement shall terminate automatically in the event of its assignment or upon termination of the Management Contract.
7. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without giving effect to the choice of laws provisions thereof.
8. The terms “vote of a majority of outstanding voting securities,” “assignment,” and “interested persons,” when used herein, shall have the meanings specified in the 1940 Act and rules thereunder, as now in effect or as hereafter amended, and subject to such orders or no-action letters as may be granted by the Commission or its staff.
