Standard of Care; Indemnification. (a) BNY shall at all times act in good faith and agrees to use its best efforts to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, but assumes no responsibility for loss or damage to the Trust unless such loss or damage is caused by BNY's own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct or that of its directors, officers or employees. BNY shall be responsible hereunder for all direct damages resulting from its own negligence, bad faith or willful misconduct, provided however that it shall not be responsible for lost profits or lost business arising under or in connection with this Agreement. It is understood and agreed that for purposes of this Section 4(a), "direct damages" shall include, but shall not be limited to, all legal costs, penalties, reimbursement for excess distribution and redemption payments, repurchasing costs for servicing agents and reimbursement to the Funds for net asset value breaks (as calculated under the Pricing Procedures). (b) The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, will indemnify BNY against and hold it harmless from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses of a defense against any claim, demand, action or suit), relating to the particular Fund and arising from any one or more of the following: (i) errors in records or instructions, explanations, information, specifications or documentation of any kind, as the case may be, supplied to BNY by any person described in Section 1 hereof or by any third party described in Section 5; (ii) action or inaction taken or omitted to be taken by BNY pursuant to written or oral instructions described in this Agreement (or otherwise without bad faith, negligence or willful misconduct); (iii) any action taken or omitted to be taken by BNY in good faith in accordance with the advice or opinion of counsel for a Fund, the Trust, BAAI (obtained in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Agreement) or its own counsel; (iv) any improper use by the Fund, the Trust, BAAI or their respective agents, of any valuations or computations supplied by BNY pursuant to this Agreement; (v) the method of valuation of the securities and the method of computing a Fund's net asset value or any other amount computed by BNY hereunder, provided BNY has followed the Pricing Procedures; and (vi) any valuation of securities, net asset value or other amount provided by a Fund or BAAI.

Standard of Care; Indemnification. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement: 1. Where an NAV error results in loss or dilution to a Fund of less than $10,000, the determination of liability for the error will be made by Price Associates. Where an NAV error results in loss or dilution to a Fund of $10,000 or more but less than $100,000, liability for the error will be resolved through negotiations between Fund Counsel and Price Associates. Where an NAV error results in loss or dilution to a Fund of the lesser of 1/2 of 1% of NAV or $100,000 or more, the error will be promptly reported to the Board (unless the Fund is fully compensated for the loss or dilution), and final settlement with respect to such error will not be made until approved by the Board. For Funds with more than one class, the amount of loss or dilution resulting from an NAV error shall be determined for each class; provided, however, that for purposes of determining Price Associates’ liability for reimbursement of loss or dilution to any class, gains in one class may be used to offset losses or dilution in another class of the same Fund where the NAV errors resulted from the same act or omission. Any net gain remaining after offsetting a loss in one or more classes, as well as aggregate gains when the gain realized by any one class is one full cent or more per share, will be allocated ratably to all of the classes in the affected Fund. A summary of all NAV errors and their effect on the Funds will be reported to the Funds’ Audit Committee on an annual basis. In determining the liability of Price Associates for an NAV error, an error or omission will not be deemed to constitute negligence when it is determined that: · Price Associates had in place “appropriate procedures and an adequate system of internal controls;” · the employee(s) responsible for the error or omission had been reasonably trained and was being appropriately monitored; and · no evidence or circumstances have been produced to indicate that the individual who committed the error or omission was functioning in bad faith, with gross negligence or willful misconduct at the time of the incident. It is understood that Price Associates is not obligated to have in place separate procedures to prevent each and every conceivable type of error or omission. The term “appropriate procedures and adequate system of internal controls” shall mean procedures and controls reasonably designed to prevent and detect errors and omissions. In determining the reason...
