Article 5. Investment Company Books, Records and Property.
Sub-Administrator shall create, maintain and preserve all necessary

another party for each Investment Company. Such books and records shall be
the relevant Investment Company's property.
Each Investment Company, Administrator or their authorized
representatives may inspect such books and records at Sub-Administrator's
premises during its normal business hours. At an Investment Company's
request or pursuant to Proper Instructions, Sub-Administrator will promptly
provide copies of any such books and records to the Investment Company or
its authorized representatives at the Investment Company's expense.
Upon the expiration of this Agreement and pursuant to Proper
Instructions, Sub-Administrator will turn over to each Investment Company
or its authorized representatives those Investment Company books, records
and documents that Sub-Administrator created and maintained under this
Agreement, provided that such books and records are no longer needed by
Sub-Administrator in performing its services or for its protection. Absent
Proper Instructions regarding the delivery of an Investment Company's books
and records, Sub-Administrator may deliver them to the Administrator's
principal place of business or retain them for six years, during the first
two years of which such documents will be in readily accessible form. Any
books and records in Sub-Administrator's possession beyond that time period
may be destroyed without further notice. In addition, Sub-Administrator

surplus, and undivided profits, as shown by its last published report, of
not less than $2,000,000, all Investment Company property (including books,
records and documents) that Sub-Administrator held under this Agreement.
Sub-Administrator agrees to maintain the security and confidentiality
of nonpublic personal information ("NPI") of each Investment Company's
customers and consumers, as those terms are defined in SEC's

redisclose such NPI for the limited purposes of processing and servicing

Sub-Administrator's obligations under this Agreement and consistent with
the exceptions provided in 17 CFR Sections 248.14, 248.15 and 248.13,
respectively.

Agreement. All rights of compensation shall survive the termination of

Administrator or an Investment Company for instructions, and

with the services to be performed by Sub-Administrator under

thereby and then only to the extent of such prejudice. The
Indemnifier has the option to defend Claimant against any
indemnifiable claim. If the Indemnifier elects to defend the
