Record general ledger entries;

Calculate daily expenses;

Calculate daily income;

Reconcile daily activity to the trial balance;

Calculate and timely communicate to persons designated by each Fund its net asset values and offering price per share; and

Prepare account balances.

Furthermore, Supplier shall: (i) calculate gains or losses on a book basis of each Fund from the sale or other disposition of assets of that Fund; (ii) compute yields for each Fund for such periods and using such formula as directed by the Fund (provided that the scope of any yields beyond those currently computed shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties); and (iii) provide each Fund and such other parties as directed by the Fund with the net income per share and yields for the Fund at such time and in such manner and format and with such frequency as directed by the Fund (provided that the scope of any such calculations beyond those currently provided shall be mutually agreed upon by the Parties).

Each Fund or CMA shall provide timely prior notice to Supplier of any modification in the manner in which such calculations are to be performed as prescribed in any revision to any

Fund’s governing documents and shall supply Supplier with certified copies of all amendments and/or supplements to the governing documents in a timely manner. For purposes of calculating the net asset value of a Fund, Supplier shall value each Fund’s portfolio securities utilizing prices obtained from sources designated by the Fund or CMA (collectively, the “Authorized Price Sources”) on a Price Source Authorization substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit A, as the same may be amended by the Parties from time to time, or otherwise designated by means of Proper Instructions (the “Price Source Authorization”). Supplier shall not be responsible for any revisions to calculation methods unless such revisions are communicated in writing to Supplier.

2.2

Each Fund or CMA shall provide, or shall cause a third party to provide, timely notice to Supplier of certain data as a condition to Supplier’s performance described in this Section 2. The data required to be provided pursuant to this subsection is set forth in Schedule F hereto, which schedule may be separately amended or supplemented by the parties from time to time. Supplier is authorized and instructed to rely upon the information it receives from the applicable Fund, CMA or any third party designated on Schedule F. Supplier shall have no responsibility to review, confirm or otherwise assume any duty with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any data supplied to it by or on behalf of CMA or any Fund.

2.3

Supplier shall create and maintain all records relating to its activities and obligations under this Agreement in such a manner as will meet the obligations of each Fund under the 1940 Act, specifically Section 31 thereof and the rules thereunder. All such records shall be the property of the applicable Fund and shall at all times during the regular business hours of Supplier be open for inspection by duly authorized officers, employees or agents of CMA, the applicable Fund and employees and agents of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Subject to Section 16 below, Supplier shall preserve for the period required by law or regulation the records required to be maintained thereunder. Each Fund and CMA acknowledges that, in keeping the books of account of the Fund and/or making the calculations described herein with respect to Fund property released and delivered pursuant to Section 2.2(14), or purchased pursuant to Section 2.6(7) of such Fund’s custodial services agreement with State Street Bank and Trust Company (the “Custody Contract”), Supplier is authorized and instructed to rely upon information provided to it by such Fund, such Fund’s counterparty(ies), or the agents of either of them including, without limitation, CMA.

2.4	Supplier may at its own expense employ agents in the performance of its duties and the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, provided that the employment of such agents shall not reduce Supplier’s obligations or liabilities hereunder.

2.5

Each of CMA and Supplier shall designate an employee (“Relationship Manager(s)”) to act on its behalf (and, in the case of CMA, on behalf of the Funds), with regard to matters arising under this Agreement and shall notify the other in writing of the name of their Relationship Manager; however, the Relationship Manager shall, solely by virtue of his or her designation hereunder, have no authority to alter or amend any term, condition, or provision of this Agreement. Either CMA or Supplier may change its Relationship Manager(s) by providing the other prior written notice. The Relationship Manager must be identified in a writing delivered to the other Party at least one week prior to the commencement of any work under this Agreement.

Subject to the provisions of Section 4.0 below, and as part of the Services provided under this Agreement, Supplier shall continually endeavor to improve the quality of service.

2.6	The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that their respective rights set forth in this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of their respective successors or assignees as may be permitted by Section 20.0 below.

3.0

TERM AND TERMINATION:

3.1

This Agreement shall be in effect from the Effective Date and shall remain in full force and effect for an initial term running through June 13, 2010 and shall continue thereafter until terminated by any Party upon ninety (90) days’ prior written notice to all other Parties. In addition, any Party may terminate this Agreement at any time on 90 days’ prior written notice to the other Parties, provided that termination of this Agreement as to one or more Funds shall not result in the termination of this Agreement as to the remaining Funds. In the event that the Agreement is terminated in its entirety by CMA prior to June 13, 2009 (the “Anniversary Date”) and Supplier has not terminated either this Agreement or its agreement with the Funds and CMA relating to financial reporting, CMA will be required to pay to Supplier an amount equal to:

(a)

in the event that at the time of such termination none of CMA, its Affiliates or any of their respective successors-in-interest (excluding, for this purpose, the Funds) is serving as the administrator or investment manager of a Fund (except by reason of such party’s resignation or the termination by such party of the applicable agreement with a Fund) or is providing or contracting with a party other than Supplier or any of its Affiliates for the provision of accounting or financial reporting services to a Fund (or its successor-in-interest), and the number of months by which the termination date precedes the Anniversary Date is greater than twelve (12), then twelve (12), or

(b)

in all other instances, the number of months by which the termination date precedes the Anniversary Date,

multiplied by twenty percent (20%) of the greater of:

(i)

the average monthly fees earned by Supplier hereunder during the 12-month period preceding such termination, or

(ii)

the average monthly fees earned by Supplier hereunder during the entire contract term prior to such termination.

In the event that the Agreement is terminated in its entirety by the Funds prior to the Anniversary Date and Supplier and CMA have not terminated either this Agreement or the agreement among Supplier, the Funds and CMA relating to financial reporting, CMA will be required to pay to Supplier an amount equal to: the lesser of twelve (12) or the number of months by which the termination date precedes the Anniversary Date multiplied by twenty percent (20%) of the greater of the average monthly fees earned by Supplier hereunder during the 12-month period preceding such termination, or the average monthly fees earned by Supplier hereunder during the entire contract term prior to such termination.

3.2

In addition to any other remedies available to CMA or the Funds, upon the occurrence of a Termination Event (as defined below) with respect to Supplier, CMA or the Funds may immediately terminate this Agreement without penalty (including, without limitation, any payment by CMA that might otherwise be required under Section 3.1) by providing written notice of termination. In addition to any other remedies available to Supplier, upon the occurrence of a Termination Event (as defined below) with respect to CMA or a Fund, Supplier may immediately terminate this Agreement (as to all of the Funds, if the Termination

Event occurs as to CMA and as to the affected Fund, if a Termination Event occurs with respect to a Fund) without penalty by providing written notice of termination. A Termination Event shall have occurred with respect to a Party if: (a) Supplier’s conduct hereunder has fallen below the standard of reasonable care and the Parties have been unable to agree upon a Plan or Revised Plan (as such terms are hereinafter defined) within the timeframes and upon the notices set forth below in this Section 3.2; (b) the Party becomes insolvent (generally unable to pay its debts as they become due) or the subject of a bankruptcy, conservatorship, receivership or similar proceeding, or makes a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; (c) the Party: (i) suffers a transfer involving fifty percent (50%) or more of any class of its voting securities or (ii) transfers all, or substantially all, of its assets to a non-Affiliate; or (d) the Party attempts to assign this Agreement in violation of Section 20. In the event that CMA reasonably believes that Supplier’s conduct hereunder has fallen below the standard of reasonable care in any particular calendar quarter (the “First Quarter”), then upon CMA’s written notice to Supplier prior to the end of such First Quarter, Supplier must, within 30 days of the end of such First Quarter, present CMA with a written plan to address CMA’s concerns (the “Plan”) during the calendar quarter immediately following the First Quarter. Within 15 days following its receipt of Supplier’s Plan, CMA shall either accept the Plan or notify Supplier that it has rejected the Plan. In the event that CMA has so rejected the Plan, Supplier must present a revised Plan (the “Revised Plan”) to CMA within 30 days of CMA’s rejection of the originally submitted Plan. Within 15 days following its receipt of Supplier’s Revised Plan, CMA shall either accept the Revised Plan or notify Supplier that the Revised Plan has not been accepted. In the event that CMA has so rejected the Revised Plan, the Parties may act reasonably and in good faith to seek to agree on a further Revised Plan, or CMA may, upon sixty days written notice to Supplier, terminate this Agreement without penalty with respect to such Fund or Funds which CMA reasonably believes have been affected. Provided, further, that this Agreement may, at the sole option of the Supplier, be terminated with respect to the affected Fund(s) (or in its entirety, in the event all Funds are affected) without prior notice by the Supplier in the event of any termination of the Pricing and Bookkeeping Oversight and Services Agreement with respect to a Fund(s) or the termination or resignation of CMA as investment adviser to the Fund(s), provided in each case that neither CMA nor an Affiliate of CMA who has either succeeded to the rights and obligations of CMA hereunder in accordance with Section 20 hereof or who has entered into an agreement with Supplier with regard to the Services which is substantially similar hereto shall, simultaneously with such termination or resignation, have entered into a new Pricing and Bookkeeping Oversight and Services Agreement or investment advisory agreement, as applicable, with respect to such Fund(s), or the termination of an applicable Custody Contract with respect to such Fund(s) (or in its entirety in the event that all Funds are affected) unless the Supplier or an Affiliate or successor-in-interest has entered into a new custody contract with respect to such Fund(s).

3.3

In the event of expiration or termination of this Agreement, Supplier agrees that upon the reasonable request of CMA or the Funds, Supplier will continue uninterrupted operations with regard to the Services, conclude and cooperate with CMA and the Funds in the transition of the business at CMA’s direction and in a manner that causes no material disruption by Supplier to Fund or CMA business and operations with regard to the Services. Fees associated with such transition shall be as may be mutually agreed by the Parties upon good faith negotiations, but shall be no higher than the greater of prevailing market rates for such Services or 120% of the rate at which Supplier would have been paid for such Services prior to the termination of this Agreement. In no event shall said transition be more than ninety (90) calendar days from the date of termination unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing. Reimbursement of all extraordinary costs and expenses incurred outside of this Agreement’s terms and conditions will be agreed upon by the Parties in writing.

3.4

Notwithstanding any term herein to the contrary, a termination of this Agreement with respect to coverage of any one particular Fund shall in no way affect the rights and duties of the Parties under this Agreement with respect to any other Fund and further, upon termination of this Agreement or termination of its coverage with respect to any Fund, such Fund shall pay to Supplier such fees (exclusive of any fees payable pursuant to Section 3.1, which fees shall be paid by CMA) as may be due as of, and reimburse Supplier for its costs, expenses and disbursements with respect to such Fund through the date of, such termination.

3.5

The rights and obligations of the Parties which by their nature must survive termination or expiration of this Agreement in order to achieve its fundamental purposes including, without limitation, the provisions of the following Sections, AUDIT, CONFIDENTIALITY AND INFORMATION PROTECTION, INDEMNITY, LIMITATION OF LIABILITY, RIGHTS IN INFORMATION, PRICING/FEES and MISCELLANEOUS, shall survive any termination of this Agreement.

4.0

PERFORMANCE GOALS:

4.1

CMA and Supplier agree to develop mutually acceptable performance goals regarding the manner in which the Services are expected to be delivered and received. The Parties agree that such document(s) (hereinafter referred to as “Service Level Document(s)”) reflect performance goals and any failure to perform in accordance with the provisions thereof shall not be considered a breach of contract that gives rise to contractual or other remedies. It is the intention of the Parties that the sole remedy for failure to perform in accordance with the provisions of a Service Level Document, or any dispute relating to performance goals set forth in a Service Level Document, will be a meeting of the Parties to resolve the failure pursuant to the consultation procedure described in Sections 4.2 and 4.3 below. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Parties hereby acknowledge that any Party’s consistent failure (or lack thereof) in any particular calendar quarter to meet the provisions of a Service Level Document, while not in and of itself a breach of contract giving rise to contractual or other remedies, may factor into CMA’s reasonably determined belief regarding the standard of care exercised by Supplier hereunder during such calendar quarter.

4.2

Consultation Procedure. If a Party hereto is consistently unable to meet the provisions of a Service Level Document, or in the event that a dispute arises relating to performance goals set forth in a Service Level Document, any Party to this Agreement shall address any concerns it may have by requiring a consultation with the other Parties.

4.3	Purpose of Consultation Procedure. The purpose of the consultation procedure is to endeavor to resolve repeated related failures to meet the provisions of a Service Level Document. If a consultation occurs under this Section 4, all Parties must negotiate in good faith to endeavor to:

(a)

implement changes which will enable the Service Level Document provisions to be more regularly met – such changes may include, but are not limited to, modification of the respective operational resources of one or more Parties;

(b)

agree to alternative Service Level Document provisions which meet the Parties’ respective business requirements; or

(c)

otherwise find a solution such that within 30 days after the consultation, the inability to meet the Service Level Document provisions is reasonably expected to be less likely to occur in the future.

5.0

PRICING/FEES:

5.1

Beginning on the Effective Date, each Fund shall pay Supplier for Services provided under this Agreement as may be agreed upon in writing from time to time by the Parties (such agreement, the “Fee Schedule”). Upon the termination of this Agreement (or termination of its coverage with respect to a Fund) before the end of any month, the fee for the part of the month before such termination shall be prorated according to the proportion which such part bears to the full monthly period and shall be payable upon the date of termination of this Agreement (or termination of its coverage with respect to a Fund). Further, each Fund agrees to reimburse Supplier for such other expenses reasonably incurred in connection with this Agreement as may be mutually agreed upon in writing by the Parties from time to time.

5.2	Fees for additional Services not listed on the Fee Schedule shall be as mutually agreed in writing among the Parties.

5.3

The Parties agree that, except as provided in this paragraph, the Fee Schedule shall not be amended until after June 13, 2010. In the event of a substantial change in the mix of fund types, or in the event of new fund types being added to the Funds, the Parties shall review the fees paid per Fund and an appropriate fee adjustment shall be negotiated. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Supplier reserves the right to renegotiate the fee schedule in the event: (i) Supplier reasonably expects that the aggregate fees paid to it under this Agreement, its agreements with the Funds and CMA relating to fund accounting and its custodial agreements with the Funds will fall below twenty million dollars ($20M) on an annualized basis, (ii) there is a material increase in the assets under management of a Fund due to a merger, acquisition or other event out of the ordinary course of business (i.e. not due to organic fund growth), provided, however, that in the event that this subsection (ii) applies, Supplier may increase the fee cap only for the Fund that engaged in the triggering transaction, or (iii) the termination of either but not both of this Agreement and Supplier’s agreement with the Funds and CMA relating to financial reporting. In addition, fees for activities of a non-recurring nature, such as Fund consolidations or reorganizations, and the preparation of special reports will be reasonable and subject to negotiation.

6.0

INVOICES/TAXES/PAYMENT:

6.1

Supplier shall submit monthly, written invoices to the address set forth on the signature page. Supplier shall xxxx for services and tangible personal property separately. Invoices shall contain such detail as CMA or a Fund may reasonably require from time to time. Supplier shall endeavor to invoice Funds promptly following the performance of Services. A Fund shall not be required to pay any amounts for any Services rendered more than one year prior to the date upon which the Fund receives an invoice for such Services.

6.2	Invoices that are materially incorrect, incomplete or list material Services that were not requested by the Funds or CMA on behalf of the Funds will not be paid but will be returned to Supplier for correction.

6.3	The Funds shall pay Supplier for all Services and applicable taxes invoiced in arrears in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, within thirty (30) calendar days of the date of receipt of an invoice by the Funds or CMA on behalf of the Funds.

6.4

Unless otherwise specified, invoices shall include and list all applicable sales taxes and other taxes as separate line items. Each Fund will reimburse Supplier for all sales, use or excise taxes levied in accordance with the general statutes or other authoritative directives of the taxing authority on amounts payable by the Fund to Supplier pursuant to this Agreement; however, the Fund shall not be responsible for remittance of such taxes to applicable tax authorities.

6.5

The Funds and CMA shall not be responsible for any ad valorem, income, gross receipts, franchise, privilege, value added or occupational taxes of Supplier. Each Party shall each bear sole responsibility for all taxes, assessments and other real or personal property-related levies on its owned or leased real or personal property.

6.6

Reserved

6.7

Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, CMA shall be solely responsible for all obligations of the Funds identified on Schedule A as a unified fee Fund (the “Unified Fee Funds”). Supplier agrees that it shall invoice CMA for any amounts that would otherwise be payable hereunder by the Unified Fee Funds, and that it will not seek to hold such Funds responsible for any such amounts.

6.8

Supplier shall keep and maintain complete and accurate accounting records to support and document all amounts becoming payable to Supplier hereunder. Supplier shall retain all records required under this Section 6.8 in accordance with Section 19 of this Agreement, after the amounts documented in such records become due.

12.2	Upon the request of the Funds or CMA, Supplier shall promptly, and after consultation with the Funds or CMA, consider any concerns or issues raised by the Funds or CMA regarding any of Supplier’s Representatives or Subcontractors performing Services under this

Agreement at premises other than the Funds’ or CMA’s premises, which may include, as appropriate, replacing such Representative or Subcontractor from the Funds’ account.

12.3

The engagement of a Subcontractor by Supplier shall not relieve Supplier of any of its obligations under this Agreement. Supplier shall be responsible for the performance or nonperformance of its Subcontractors as if such performance or nonperformance were that of Supplier. Supplier shall require all Subcontractors, as a condition to their engagement, to agree to be bound by provisions substantially the same as those included in this Agreement particularly the Sections entitled “Supplier Personnel”, “Insurance” and “Confidentiality and Information Protection.”

12.5

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, as a condition of their employment or performance of Services hereunder, as the case may be, all of Supplier’s employees and those of its Subcontractors who will have access to equipment, systems or data of the Funds or CMA shall have satisfactorily passed a background check that is consistent in all material respects with procedures and requirements as set forth on SCHEDULE E to this Agreement and updated in writing delivered to Supplier from time to time.

12.6	In the event that Supplier employs non-U.S. citizens to provide Services hereunder, Supplier shall insure that all such persons have and maintain appropriate visas to enable them to provide the Services.

13.0

INSURANCE:

13.1

Supplier maintains insurance as shown on an insurance certificate to be delivered to the Funds and CMA upon request which may be made not more than once per year and shall maintain such insurance as Supplier deems commercially reasonable based on reasonably foreseeable risks. If within 10 business days of Supplier’s issuance of any such certificate to CMA, the Funds or CMA possess commercially reasonable concerns regarding Supplier’s insurance, the Funds or CMA may express such concerns to Supplier and require a consultation with Supplier. The purpose of said consultation shall be for the Funds, CMA and Supplier to discuss Supplier’s insurance and the Funds’ or CMA’s concerns regarding the same. If within 10 business days of such consultation, the Funds or CMA have reasonably determined, and so notified Supplier in writing, that any insurance maintained by Supplier with respect to the Services provided hereunder materially adversely affects a Fund or CMA with regard to receipt of such Services, Supplier shall, at the direct expense of the Fund or CMA, as applicable, obtain such additional policies of insurance (or self insure) in amount and scope required by the Fund or CMA so long as such insurance is commercially reasonable in light of the nature and scope of Services provided hereunder and the availability of such insurance in the market.

14.0

CONFIDENTIALITY AND INFORMATION PROTECTION:

14.1	The term “Confidential Information” shall mean all data, trade secrets, business information and other information of any kind whatsoever that a Party (“Discloser”) discloses, in writing,

orally, visually or in any other medium, to another Party (“Recipient”), or to which Recipient obtains access, and that relates to Discloser or, in the case of Supplier as Recipient, to CMA or a Fund. A “writing” shall include an electronic transfer of information by e-mail, over the Internet or otherwise.

14.2

Each of the Parties, as Recipient, hereby agrees that it will not, and will cause its Representatives, consultants, Affiliates and independent contractors not to disclose Confidential Information of another Party during or after the Term of this Agreement, other than on a “need to know” basis and then only to: (a) Affiliates of Discloser; (b) Recipient’s employees or officers; (c) Affiliates of Recipient, its independent contractors at any level, agents and consultants, provided that all such persons are subject to a written confidentiality agreement that shall be no less restrictive than the provisions of this Section; (d) pursuant to the exceptions set forth in 15 U.S.C. 6802 and accompanying regulations, which disclosures are made in the ordinary course of business; and (e) as required by law or legal process or as otherwise expressly permitted by this Agreement. Recipient shall not use or disclose Confidential Information of Discloser for any purpose other than to carry out this Agreement. Recipient shall treat Confidential Information of Discloser with no less care than it employs for its own Confidential Information of a similar nature that it does not wish to disclose, publish or disseminate, but not less than a reasonable level of care. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason or at the written request of the Funds or CMA during the term of this Agreement, Supplier shall promptly return to the Funds or CMA, as applicable, at the Funds’ or CMA’s direction, all CMA or Fund Confidential Information in the possession of Supplier, Supplier’s Affiliates or Supplier’s Subcontractors, subject to and in accordance with the terms and provisions of this Agreement and compliance by Supplier with the requirements of applicable law or Supplier’s own corporate policies with respect to data retention.

14.3

Recipient shall notify Discloser of any actual or threatened requirement of law to disclose Confidential Information promptly upon receiving actual knowledge thereof and shall cooperate with Discloser’s reasonable, lawful efforts to resist, limit or delay disclosure subject to Recipient’s compliance with law or legal process. Nothing in this Section shall require any notice or other action by Fund, CMA or Supplier in connection with requests or demands for Confidential Information by bank examiners or securities regulators.

14.4

Supplier shall not remove from CMA’s premises, the original or any reproduction of any notes, memoranda, files, records, or other documents, whether on tangible or electronic media, containing the Funds’ or CMA’s Confidential Information or any document prepared by or on behalf of Supplier that contains or is based on the Funds’ or CMA’s Confidential Information, without the prior written consent of an authorized representative of the Funds or CMA except to the extent required to provide Services hereunder provided that the foregoing shall remain subject to the confidentiality requirements hereunder notwithstanding such removal.

14.5

The obligations of confidentiality in this Section shall not apply to any information that (i) Recipient rightfully has in its possession when disclosed to it, free of obligation to Discloser to maintain its confidentiality; (ii) Recipient independently develops without access to Discloser’s Confidential Information; (iii) is or becomes known to the public other than by breach of this Section or (iv) is rightfully received by Recipient from a third party without the obligation of confidentiality. Any combination of Confidential Information disclosed with information not so classified shall not be deemed to be within one of the foregoing exclusions merely because individual portions of such combination are free of any confidentiality obligation or are separately known in the public domain.

14.6

No Party shall issue any media releases, public announcements and public disclosures, relating to this Agreement without the prior consent of the other Parties. No Party may use the logo of another Party without the prior consent of the other Party. Nothing in this paragraph shall restrict any disclosure required by legal, accounting or regulatory requirements beyond the reasonable control of the releasing Party.

14.7

The Funds and CMA may disclose products and Services to contractors, including without limitation any independent public accounting firm, for the purpose of further handling, processing, modifying and adapting them for the exclusive use of the Funds or CMA, provided that such contractors have agreed to observe in substance the obligations of the Funds and CMA set forth in this Section and the Funds or CMA shall remain responsible for such contractor’s compliance with the foregoing.

14.8	Supplier shall maintain an Information Security Program reasonably designed to:

Protect the security and confidentiality of Confidential Information;

Protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or confidentiality of such information; and

Protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to the Party that is the subject of such information.

Supplier’s Information Security Program shall reflect the terms of Schedule D attached hereto.

14.9	Supplier shall provide reasonable information as to its Information Security Program upon request of the Funds or CMA.

INDEMNITY:

15.1

Reserved

15.2

Supplier will defend or, at Supplier’s option settle, any third party claim or action brought against a Fund, CMA or the Representatives, successors and permitted assigns of either and indemnify each Fund, CMA, and the Representatives, successors or permitted assigns of each for any direct losses, expenses, damages, costs and liabilities to the extent that the same arises directly from an assertion that any product or service provided by Supplier under this Agreement constitutes infringement of any patent or copyright or misappropriation of a trade secret in any jurisdiction in which Supplier provides services hereunder provided that the Fund or CMA, as the case may be, notifies Supplier promptly in writing of any such claim or proceeding (the inadvertent omission to so notify Supplier of any such action, suit, proceeding or claim shall not relieve Supplier from any liability which it may have to CMA, the Funds, and their Representatives, successors and permitted assigns under this Section 15.2 except to the extent Supplier can reasonably demonstrate that such omission caused prejudice to it), cooperates with Supplier in the defense of such claim or proceeding and allows Supplier sole control over such claim or action. Supplier shall have no liability or obligation hereunder with respect to any infringement claim to the extent such infringement is caused by (a) information or material submitted by a Fund, CMA, or the Representatives, successors or permitted assigns of either, (b) use of such products or services by a Fund or CMA in violation of applicable law, rule or regulation or other than as permitted herein if such infringement would have been avoided but for such improper use; (c) modification of such products or services by Supplier or a party under Supplier’s control pursuant to express written instructions from a Fund, CMA, or the Representatives, successors or permitted assigns of either; (d) modification of such products or services by any party other than Supplier or a party under Supplier’s control; or (e) the combination, operation or use of such products or services by any party other than Supplier or a party under Supplier’s control with

any third party product(s) or services where the infringement would not have occurred but for such combination, operation or use. Should the products or services provided under this Agreement or any part thereof become, or in Supplier’s opinion be likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement or the like under any applicable patent, copyright or trade secret laws, Supplier shall have the exclusive right, at Supplier’s sole option, to (i) procure for the Funds and CMA the right to continue using the products or services, (ii) replace or modify the products or services so as to be noninfringing without further obligation or (iii) suspend providing the infringing products or services pending resolution of any infringement claim without further obligation. The terms of this section shall be the Funds’, CMA’s and their Representatives’, successors’ or permitted assigns’ sole and exclusive remedy against Supplier as to any infringement claim relating to the products and services provided by Supplier hereunder.

15.3

Each Fund shall indemnify and hold Supplier harmless from all loss, cost, damage and expense, including reasonable fees and expenses for counsel, incurred by Supplier resulting from any claim, demand, action or suit in connection with any action or omission by Supplier resulting from Supplier’s acting upon any instructions reasonably believed by it to have been duly authorized by the Fund, or any claim, demand, action or suit in connection with Supplier’s acceptance of this Agreement, or the act or omission of the Fund, provided that this indemnification shall not apply to any loss, cost, damage or expense in connection with actions or omissions of Supplier, its officers, employees or Sub-contractors in cases of its or their own negligence or willful misconduct, and shall not apply to any loss, cost, damage or expense incurred by Supplier as a result of Section 15.2 above.

15.4

CMA shall indemnify and hold Supplier harmless from all loss, cost, damage and expense, including reasonable fees and expenses for counsel, incurred by Supplier resulting from any claim, demand, action or suit in connection with any action or omission by Supplier in the performance of its duties hereunder, or as a result of Supplier’s acting upon any instructions reasonably believed by it to have been duly authorized by CMA or any Fund, or any claim, demand, action or suit in connection with any act or omission of CMA, any Fund or any third party whose services Supplier must rely upon in performing services hereunder, provided that this indemnification shall not apply to any loss, cost, damage or expense in connection with actions or omissions of Supplier, its officers, employees or Sub-contractors in cases of its or their own negligence or willful misconduct, and shall not apply to any loss, cost, damage or expense incurred by Supplier as a result of Section 15.2 above. Supplier shall not be entitled to indemnification from CMA pursuant to this Section 15.4 for any loss, cost, damage or expense for which Supplier is indemnified by one or more Funds pursuant to Section 15.3.

16.0

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY:

16.1	In no event shall any Party be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive or exemplary damages, including, but not limited to, lost profits, even if such Party alleged to be liable has knowledge of the possibility of such damages.

16.2

Supplier shall exercise reasonable care in carrying out the provisions of this Agreement, but shall be kept indemnified by, and shall be without liability to CMA and/or any Fund for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith without negligence including, without limitation, acting in accordance with any Proper Instruction. Supplier shall be entitled to rely on and may act upon the advice of counsel (who may be counsel for CMA or any Fund) on all matters arising in connection with the Services. At any time, Supplier may apply to any officer of CMA or a Fund for instructions and may consult with outside counsel for CMA or the applicable Fund or the independent auditors for the Fund at the expense of the Fund, or other individuals designated in writing by CMA or the Fund, for advice with respect to any matter

arising in connection with the Services. Supplier shall not be liable, and shall be indemnified by each Fund or CMA, as applicable, for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in reliance upon any such instructions or advice or upon any paper or document believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by such officers or individuals. Supplier shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any officer or individual until receipt of written notice thereof from the Fund or CMA. Nothing in this Section shall be construed as imposing upon Supplier any obligation to seek such instructions or advice. Without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, Supplier shall in no event be liable for any loss or damage arising from causes beyond its control including, without limitation, delay or cessation of services hereunder or any damages to CMA or a Fund resulting therefrom as a result of work stoppage, power or other mechanical failure, natural disaster, governmental action, communication disruption or other impossibility of performance.

16.3

CMA, each Fund, any Third Party Agent or Authorized Price Source from which Supplier shall receive or obtain certain records, reports and other data utilized or included in the accounting services provided hereunder are solely responsible for the contents of such information including, without limitation, the accuracy thereof and CMA and each Fund agree to make no claim against Supplier arising solely out of the contents of such third-party data including, but not limited to the accuracy thereof. Supplier shall have no responsibility to review, confirm or otherwise assume any duty with respect to the accuracy or completeness of any such information and shall be without liability for any loss or damage suffered as a result of Supplier’s reasonable reliance on and utilization of such information, except as otherwise required by the Price Source Authorization with respect to the use of data obtained from Authorized Price Sources. Supplier shall have no responsibility and shall be without liability for any loss or damage caused by the failure of CMA, any Fund or any Third Party Agent to provide it with the information required by Section 2.2. Further, and without in any way limiting the generality of the foregoing, Supplier shall have no liability in respect of any loss, damage or expense suffered by CMA or any Fund, insofar as such loss, damage or expense arises from the performance of Supplier’s duties hereunder by reason of Supplier’s reliance upon records that were maintained for CMA or any Fund by any entity other than Supplier prior to the effectiveness of this Agreement.

16.4

Each Fund and CMA acknowledges and agrees that, with respect to investments any Fund maintains with an entity which may from time to time act as a transfer agent for uncertificated shares of registered investment companies (the “Underlying Transfer Agent”), such Underlying Transfer Agent is the sole source of information on the number of shares held by it on behalf of a Fund and that Supplier has the right to rely on holdings information furnished by the Underlying Transfer Agent to Supplier in performing its duties under this Agreement.

REMOTE ACCESS SERVICES ADDENDUM

ACCOUNTING SERVICES AGREEMENT

ADDENDUM to that certain Accounting Services Agreement dated as of December 15, 2006 (the “Accounting Agreement”) by and among each of the registered investment companies, or series thereof, as applicable, listed on Schedule A to such Agreement, each either a Massachusetts business trust or a Delaware statutory trust or series thereof (each a “Fund”), severally and not jointly, Columbia Management Advisors, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (collectively with the Funds, the “Customer”) and State Street Bank and Trust Company, including its subsidiaries and affiliates (“State Street”).

State Street has developed and utilizes proprietary accounting and other systems in conjunction with the services which State Street provides to the Customer. In this regard, State Street maintains certain information in databases under its control and ownership which it makes available to its customers (the “Remote Access Services”).

The Services

State Street agrees to provide the Customer, and its designated investment advisors, consultants or other third parties authorized by State Street (“Authorized Designees”) with access to In~Sight^SMas described in Exhibit A or such other systems as may be offered from time to time (the “System”) on a remote basis.

Security Procedures

The Customer agrees to comply, and to cause its Authorized Designees to comply, with remote access operating standards and procedures and with user identification or other password control requirements and other security procedures as may be issued from time to time by State Street for use of the System and access to the Remote Access Services. The Customer agrees to advise State Street immediately in the event that it learns or has reason to believe that any person to whom it has given access to the System or the Remote Access Services has violated or intends to violate the terms of this Addendum and the Customer will cooperate with State Street in seeking injunctive or other equitable relief. The Customer agrees to discontinue use of the System and Remote Access Services, if requested, for any security reasons cited by State Street.

Fees

Fees and charges for the use of the System and the Remote Access Services and related payment terms shall be as set forth in the fee schedule in effect from time to time between the parties. The Funds shall be responsible for any tariffs, duties or taxes imposed or levied by any government or governmental agency by reason of the transactions contemplated by this Addendum, including, without limitation, federal, state and local taxes, use, value added and personal property taxes (other than income, franchise or similar taxes which may be imposed or assessed against State Street). Any claimed exemption from such tariffs, duties or taxes shall be supported by proper documentary evidence delivered to State Street.

Proprietary Information/Injunctive Relief

The System and Remote Access Services described herein and the databases, computer programs, screen formats, report formats, interactive design techniques, formulae, processes, systems, software, know- how, algorithms, programs, training aids, printed materials, methods, books, records, files, documentation and other information made available to the Customer by State Street as part of

the Remote Access Services and through the use of the System and all copyrights, patents, trade secrets and other proprietary rights of State Street related thereto are the exclusive, valuable and confidential property of State Street and its relevant licensors (the “Proprietary Information”). The Customer agrees on behalf of itself and its Authorized Designees to keep the Proprietary Information confidential and to limit access to its employees and Authorized Designees (under a similar duty of confidentiality) who require access to the System for the purposes intended. The foregoing shall not apply to Proprietary Information in the public domain or required by law to be made public.

The Customer agrees to use the Remote Access Services only in connection with the proper purposes of this Addendum. The Customer will not, and will cause its employees and Authorized Designees not to, (i) permit any third party to use the System or the Remote Access Services, (ii) sell, rent, license or otherwise use the System or the Remote Access Services in the operation of a service bureau or for any purpose other than as expressly authorized under this Addendum, (iii) use the System or the Remote Access Services for any fund, trust or other investment vehicle without the prior written consent of State Street, or (iv) allow or cause any information transmitted from State Street’s databases, including data from third party sources, available through use of the System or the Remote Access Services, to be published, redistributed or retransmitted for other than use for or on behalf of the Customer, as State Street’s customer.

The Customer agrees that neither it nor its Authorized Designees will modify the System in any way; enhance or otherwise create derivative works based upon the System, nor will the Customer or its Authorized Designees reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise attempt to secure the source code for all or any part of the System.

The Customer acknowledges that the disclosure of any Proprietary Information, or of any information which at law or equity ought to remain confidential, will immediately give rise to continuing irreparable injury to State Street inadequately compensable in damages at law and that State Street shall be entitled to obtain immediate injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of any of the foregoing undertakings, in addition to any other legal remedies which may be available.

Limited Warranties

State Street represents and warrants that it is the owner of and has the right to grant access to the System and to provide the Remote Access Services contemplated herein. Because of the nature of computer information technology including, but not limited to, the use of the Internet, and the necessity of relying upon third party sources, and data and pricing information obtained from third parties, the System and Remote Access Services are provided “AS IS”, and the Customer and its Authorized Designees shall be solely responsible for the investment decisions, results obtained, regulatory reports and statements produced using the Remote Access Services. State Street and its relevant licensors will not be liable to the Customer or its Authorized Designees for any direct or indirect, special, incidental, punitive or consequential damages arising out of or in any way connected with the System or the Remote Access Services, nor shall either party be responsible for delays or nonperformance under this Addendum arising out of any cause or event beyond such party’s control.

State Street will take reasonable steps to ensure that its products (and those of its third-party suppliers) reflect the available state of the art technology to offer products that are Year 2000 compliant, including, but not limited to, century recognition of dates, calculations that correctly compute same century and multi century formulas and date values, and interface values that reflect the date issues arising between now and December 31, 2099, and if any changes are required, State Street will make the changes to its products at no cost to you and in a commercially reasonable time frame and will require third-party suppliers to do likewise. The Customer will do likewise for its systems.

EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS ADDENDUM, STATE STREET, FOR ITSELF AND ITS RELEVANT LICENSORS, EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES CONCERNING THE SYSTEM AND THE SERVICES TO BE RENDERED HEREUNDER, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTIBILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Infringement

State Street will defend or, at State Street’s option settle, any third party claim or action brought against the Funds, CMA and/or the Representatives, successors and permitted assigns of each and indemnify the Funds, CMA, their Representatives, successors or permitted assigns for any direct losses, expenses, damages, costs and liabilities to the extent that the same arises directly from an assertion that access to or use of the System or use of the Remote Access Services by the Funds, CMA, their Representatives, successors or permitted assigns under this Agreement constitutes direct infringement of any United States patent or copyright or misappropriation of a trade secret provided that the Funds or CMA, as applicable, notifies State Street promptly in writing of any such claim or proceeding, cooperates with State Street in the defense of such claim or proceeding and allows State Street sole control over such claim or action. State Street shall have no liability or obligation hereunder with respect to any infringement claim if such infringement is caused by (a) information or material submitted by the Funds, CMA, the Representatives, or successors or permitted assigns of either (b) use of the Systems or Remote Access Services by the Funds or CMA in a manner other than for which the Systems or Remote Access Services were designed, in violation of applicable law, rule or regulation or other than as permitted herein if such infringement would have been avoided but for such improper use; (c) compliance by State Street with the specifications, designs and requirements of the Funds, CMA, the Representatives, or successors or permitted assigns of either; (d) modification of the System or Remote Access Services by any party other than State Street or a party under State Street’s control, or (e) the combination, operation or use of the System or Remote Access Services with any third party product(s) or services where the infringement would not have occurred but for such combination, operation or use. Should the Systems or Remote Access Services or any part thereof become, or in State Street’s opinion be likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement or the like under any applicable patent, copyright or trade secret laws, State Street shall have the exclusive right, at State Street’s sole option, to (i) procure for the Funds or CMA the right to continue using the Systems or Remote Access Services, (ii) replace or modify the Systems or Remote Access Services so as to be noninfringing, or (iii) terminate use or access of the Systems or Remote Access Services by the Funds or CMA without further obligation. The terms of this section shall be the Funds’, CMA’s and their Representatives’, successors’ or permitted assigns’ sole and exclusive remedy against State Street as to any infringement claim relating to the Systems or Remote Access Services.

Termination

Any party to the Accounting Agreement may terminate this Addendum (i) for any reason by giving the other party at least one-hundred and eighty (180) days prior written notice in the case of notice of termination by State Street to the Customer or thirty (30) days notice in the case of notice from the Customer to State Street of termination, or (ii) immediately for failure of the other party to comply with any material term and condition of the Addendum by giving the other party written notice of termination. This Addendum shall in any event terminate within ninety (90) days after the termination of the Accounting Agreement. In the event of termination, the Customer will return to State Street all copies of documentation and other confidential information in its possession or in the possession of its Authorized Designees. The foregoing provisions with respect to confidentiality and infringement will survive termination for a period of three (3) years.

Miscellaneous

This Addendum and the exhibit hereto constitute the entire understanding of the parties to the Accounting Agreement with respect to access to the System and the Remote Access Services. This Addendum cannot be modified or altered except in a writing duly executed by each of State Street and the Customer and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts.

By its execution of the Accounting Agreement, the Customer (a) confirms to State Street that it informs all Authorized Designees of the terms of this Addendum; (b) accepts responsibility for its and its Authorized Designees’ compliance with the terms of this Addendum; and (c) indemnifies and holds State Street harmless from and against any and all costs, expenses, losses, damages, charges, counsel fees, payments and liabilities arising from any failure of the Fund, CMA or any of their Authorized Designees to abide by the terms of this Addendum.
