5. Instructions.

(a) Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, PFPC shall act only upon Oral Instructions or Written Instructions.

(b) PFPC shall be entitled to rely upon any Oral Instruction or Written Instruction it receives from an Authorized Person (or from a person reasonably believed by PFPC to be an Authorized Person) pursuant to this Agreement. PFPC may assume that any Oral Instructions or Written Instruction received hereunder is not in any way inconsistent with the provisions of the organizational documents of each Fund or this Agreement or of any vote, resolution or proceeding of the relevant Fund’s Board of Trustees or of the Portfolio’s shareholders, unless and until PFPC receives Written Instructions to the contrary.

6. Right to Receive Advice.

(a) Advice of a Fund. If PFPC is in doubt as to any action it should or should not take, PFPC may request directions or advice, including Oral Instructions or Written Instructions, from the relevant Fund.

The Fund shall, upon receipt of such notice, promptly and timely notify PFPC in writing of its objection, if any, to any actions or any omissions to act PFPC proposes to take pursuant to counsel’s advice. In the event where a Fund has timely notified PFPC in writing of its objection, PFPC and the Fund each shall promptly consult in good faith to reach agreement on the actions or omissions that are the subject of the Fund’s objection. In the event where, after such consultations, PFPC and the Fund are unable to agree on the actions or omissions in question, PFPC shall, at the Fund’s expense, consult independent counsel reasonably acceptable to the Fund, and may follow and rely upon the advice of such independent counsel.

(d) Protection of PFPC. PFPC shall be indemnified, defended and held harmless by each Fund for any action PFPC takes or does not take in reliance upon directions or advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions PFPC receives from or on behalf of a Fund or from counsel and which PFPC believes, in good faith, to be consistent with those directions or advice and Oral Instructions or Written Instructions, provided that in carrying out any such action PFPC has not acted with willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties hereunder. 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 (ii) to act in accordance with such directions or advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions.

7. Records; Visits.

(a) Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the books and records pertaining to the Funds and their Portfolios which are in the possession or under the control of PFPC shall be the property of the respective Funds.

The Funds and their Authorized Persons, and employees and agents of the SEC or other governmental authorities with the approval of the Funds, shall have access to such books and records at all

4

times during PFPC’s normal business hours. Upon the reasonable request of a Fund, copies of any such books and records in the form reasonably requested, shall be provided by PFPC to the Fund or to an Authorized Person or to employees and agents of the SEC or other governmental authorities at the Fund’s expense. Any such books and records may be maintained in electronic format if permissible under the Securities Laws and SEC rules and regulations. No records shall be destroyed without the consent of the Funds, except that consent to destroy paper documents may be presumed by PFPC if (i) the Securities Laws no longer require the retention of such records; and (ii) PFPC has not received a request from the Funds to retain all or part of such records (and PFPC expressly agrees to maintain such documents), or transfer all or part of such records to the Funds or a third party designated by the Funds. Any direct out-of-pocket expenses or costs incurred by PFPC to transfer or maintain, pursuant to the Funds’ request, records no longer required to be maintained by the Securities Laws will be paid or reimbursed by the applicable Funds.

(i) all books and records with respect to each Fund’s books of account.

8. Confidentiality. Each party shall keep confidential any information relating to the other party’s business (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information shall include (a) any data or information that is competitively sensitive material, and not generally known to the public, including, but not limited to, information about product plans, marketing strategies, finances, operations, customer relationships, customer profiles, customer lists, sales estimates, business plans, and internal performance results relating to the past, present or future business activities of a Fund or PFPC, their respective subsidiaries and affiliated companies and the customers, clients and suppliers of any of

5

them; (b) any scientific or technical information, design, process, procedure, formula, or improvement that is commercially valuable and secret in the sense that its confidentiality affords the Fund or PFPC a competitive advantage over its competitors; (c) all confidential or proprietary concepts, documentation, reports, data, specifications, computer software, source code, object code, flow charts, databases, inventions, know-how, and trade secrets, whether or not patentable or copyrightable; and (d) anything designated as confidential.

PFPC shall take all reasonable action in the performance of its duties under this Agreement to assure that all necessary information within its control is made available to such accountants for the expression of their opinion, as required by the applicable Fund.

10. PFPC System. PFPC shall retain title to and ownership of any and all data bases (except for Portfolio information contained in data bases), computer programs, screen formats, report formats, interactive design techniques, derivative works, inventions, discoveries, patentable or copyrightable matters, concepts, expertise, patents, copyrights, trade secrets, and other related legal rights utilized by PFPC in connection with the services provided by PFPC to the Funds.

11. Disaster Recovery and Business Continuity Plans. PFPC represents that it has in place, and covenants to maintain in place during the term of this Agreement, a reasonable back-up, business continuity and disaster recovery plan (“Plans”) that, among other things, requires PFPC to maintain and to be able to readily access back-up files of the Funds’ data and records required to be maintained

6

under the Securities Laws at a location other than the site at which PFPC maintains their primary copies of such data and records. At a minimum, PFPC’s business continuity plans shall require PFPC to enter into and maintain in effect with appropriate parties one or more agreements making reasonable provisions for emergency use of communication and electronic data processing equipment and addressing personnel requirements. In the event of equipment failures or other events, PFPC shall, at no additional expense to the Funds, 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, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties or obligations under this Agreement, including this section 11.

12. Compensation. As compensation for service rendered by PFPC during the term of this Agreement, each Fund, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, will pay to PFPC a fee or fees as may be agreed to in writing by the Fund and PFPC.

13. Indemnification. Each Fund, on behalf of each of its Portfolios, agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless PFPC and its affiliates, including their respective officers, directors, agents and employees from all taxes, charges, expenses, assessments, claims and liabilities (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees and disbursements and liabilities arising under the Securities Laws and any state and foreign securities and blue sky laws) arising directly or indirectly from (i) any action or omission to act which PFPC takes (a) at the request of or in reliance on the advice of the Funds, or (b) in accordance with Oral Instructions or Written Instructions, (ii) any action, omission or error by another service provider that amounts to a violation of another service agreement or duty owed to the Funds, Portfolios or shareholders; or (iii) any action or omission by the Fund, its officers or trustees, that amounts to willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or breach of fiduciary duty, provided that neither PFPC, nor any of its affiliates, shall be indemnified, and PFPC shall indemnify and hold harmless the Funds, the Portfolios and their affiliates, again any liability (or any expenses incident to such liability) caused by PFPC’s or its affiliates’ own willful misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard in the performance of PFPC’s activities under this Agreement. Any amounts payable by a Fund hereunder shall be satisfied only against the relevant Portfolio’s assets and not against the assets of any other Portfolio. The provisions of this Section 13 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

(c) Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, neither PFPC nor its affiliates, nor the Funds or Portfolios 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 such party.
