or its' authorized agents, whether Oral or otherwise. For any act or omission
undertaken by InCap in compliance therewith, it shall be free of liability and

or Oral Instruction received prior to acting upon such countermanded
Instruction, InCap shall act upon such subsequent Written or Oral Instruction.
The sole obligation of InCap with respect to any follow-up or confirmatory
Written Instruction or Oral Instruction in documentary or written form shall be

Section 4. Indemnification.
(a) InCap, its officers, employees, shareholders, and agents will be
liable for any loss suffered by the Fund resulting from the willful misfeasance,
bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard on the part of InCap in the
performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
(b) Any director, officer, employee, shareholder or agent of InCap, who
may be or become an officer, director, employee or agent of the Fund, will be
deemed, when rendering services to the Fund, or acting on any business of the
Fund (other than services or business in connection with InCap' duties
hereunder), to be rendering such services to or acting solely for the Fund and
not as a director, officer, employee, shareholder or agent of, or under the
control or direction of InCap even though such person may be receiving
compensation from InCap.
(c) The Fund agrees to indemnify and hold InCap harmless, together with
its officers, employees, shareholders and agents from and against any and all
claims, demands, expenses and liabilities (whether with or without basis in fact
or law) of any and every nature which InCap may sustain or incur or which may be
asserted against InCap by any person by reason of, or as a result of:
(i) any action taken or omitted to be taken by InCap except claims,
demands, expenses and liabilities arising from willful misfeasance, bad
faith, negligence or reckless disregard on the part of InCap in the
performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement; or
(ii) any action taken or omitted to be taken by InCap in reliance
upon any Certificate, instrument, order or stock certificate or other
document reasonably believed by InCap to be genuine and signed,
countersigned or executed by any duly authorized person, upon the Oral
Instructions or Written Instructions of an authorized person of the Fund,
or upon the written opinion of legal counsel for the Fund or InCap; or
(iii) the offer or sale of shares of the Fund to any person, natural or
otherwise, which is in violation of any state or federal law.
If a claim is made against InCap as to which InCap may seek indemnity under this
Section, InCap will notify the Fund promptly after receipt of any written
assertion of such claim threatening to institute an action or proceeding with
respect thereto and will notify the Fund promptly of any action commenced
against InCap within ten (10) days after InCap has been served with a summons or
other legal process. Failure to notify the Fund will not, however, relieve the
Fund from any liability, which it may have on account of the indemnity under
this Section so long as the Fund has not been prejudiced in any material respect
by such failure.
The Fund and InCap will cooperate in the control of the defense of any action,
suit or proceeding in which InCap is involved and for which indemnity is being
provided by the Fund to InCap. The Fund may negotiate the settlement of any
action, suit or proceeding subject to InCap's approval, which will not be
unreasonably withheld. InCap reserves the right, but not the obligation, to
participate in the defense or settlement of a claim, action or proceeding with
its own counsel. Costs or expenses incurred by InCap in connection with, or as a
result of such participation, will be borne solely by the Fund if:
(i) InCap has received an opinion of counsel from counsel to the
Fund stating that the use of counsel to the Fund by InCap would present an
impermissible conflict of interest;
(ii) the defendants in, or targets of, any such action or proceeding
include both InCap and the Fund, and legal counsel to InCap has reasonably
concluded that there are legal defenses available to it which are
different from or additional to those available to the Fund or which may
be adverse to or inconsistent with defenses available to the Fund (in
which case the Fund will not have the right to direct the defense of such
action on behalf of InCap); or
(iii) the Fund authorizes InCap to employ separate counsel at the
expense of the Fund.
(d) The terms of this Section will survive the termination of this
Agreement.

so after notice to the Fund.
InCap recognizes that the records it maintains for the Fund are the property of
the Fund and will be surrendered to the Fund upon written notice to InCap as
outlined under Section 10(c) below. The Fund is responsible for the payment in
advance of any fees owed to InCap. InCap agrees to maintain the records and all
other information of the Fund in a confidential manner and will not use such
information for any purpose other than the performance of InCap' duties under
this Agreement.

Section 10(c) above, transfer to the successor, at the Fund's expense, all
records which belong to the Fund and will provide appropriate, reasonable and

changes.
