3
D. The Administrator shall also make its officers and employees
available to the Board and officers of the Fund for consultation and discussions
regarding the administration of the Series and services provided to the Series
under this agreement.
E. In performing these services, the Administrator: (i) shall conform

available to the Fund, promptly upon request, any of the Series' books and

respect to the Series such periodic and special reports as the Board may
reasonably request. The Administrator shall keep books and records relating to
the services performed hereunder, in the form and manner, and for such period as
it may deem advisable and is agreeable to the Fund but not inconsistent with the
rules and regulations of appropriate government authorities, in particular,
Section 31 of the 1940 Act and the rules thereunder. The Administrator agrees
that all such records prepared or maintained by the Administrator relating to
the services to be performed by the Administrator pursuant to this Agreement are
the property of the Fund and will be preserved, maintained, and made available
in accordance with such section and rules of the 1940 Act and will be promptly
surrendered to the Fund on and in accordance with its request.
F. The services provided by the Administrator under this Agreement are
in addition to those required to be provided by it under the Investment
Management Agreement entered into between the Administrator and the Trust on
behalf of each Series. Notwithstanding any other provision of the Agreement, all
other services provided by the Administrator under the Investment Management
Agreement will continue to be provided by the Administrator and paid for by the
Trust pursuant to that agreement.
III. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR. The Administrator shall for all purposes herein be
deemed to be an independent contractor and shall, unless otherwise expressly
provided herein or authorized by the Board from time to time, have no authority
to act for or represent the Fund in any way or otherwise be deemed its agent.
IV. COMPENSATION. The Fund shall pay the Administrator on behalf of the Series a
Serieswide Administrative Fee as compensation for the Serieswide Administrative
Services set forth in Section II.A above. Each Class of the Series shall pay the
Administrator on its own behalf a Class Administrative Fee as compensation for
the Class Administrative Services provided to the Class as set forth in Section
II.A above. The Serieswide Administrative Fee and the Class Administrative Fee
shall be at the rates set forth in Schedule A hereto. The amount of any credit
received from the Series' custodian for cash balances maintained at the
custodian shall
4
be subtracted from the Serieswide Administrative Fee required to be paid by
Trust under this Agreement.
V. NON-EXCLUSIVITY. It is understood that the services of the Administrator
hereunder are not exclusive, and the Administrator shall be free to render
similar services to other investment companies and other clients.
VI. LIABILITY. The Administrator shall give the Fund the benefit of the
Administrator's best efforts in rendering services under this Agreement. The
Administrator may rely on information reasonably believed by it to be accurate
and reliable. As an inducement for the Administrator's undertaking to render
services under this Agreement, the Fund agrees that neither the Administrator
nor the stockholders, officers, Trustees, or employees of the Administrator
shall be subject to any liability for, or any damages, expenses or losses
incurred in connection with, any act, omission or mistake in judgment connected
with or arising out of any services rendered under this Agreement, except by
reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of
the Administrator's duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of the
Administrator's obligations and duties under this Agreement. This provision
shall govern only the liability to the Fund of the Administrator and that of the
stockholders, officers, Trustees, and employees of the Administrator, and shall
in no way govern the liability to the Fund or the Administrator of any other
person or provide a defense for such other person, including persons that
provide services for the Series as described in Section II.B or C of this
Agreement.
VII. TERM AND CONTINUATION. This Agreement shall take effect as of the date
hereof, and shall remain in effect, unless sooner terminated as provided herein,
until September 30, 2003, and shall continue thereafter on an annual basis with
respect to each Series, provided that such continuance is specifically approved
at least annually (a) by the vote of a majority of the Board, or (b) by vote of
a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Series, and provided
continuance is also approved by the vote of a majority of the Board who are not
parties to this Agreement or "interested persons" (as defined in the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇)
of the Fund, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on
such approval. This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment
of any penalty with respect to the entire Fund or only with respect to one or
more Series thereof: (a) by the Fund at any time with respect to the services
provided by the Administrator by vote of (1) a majority of the Board members who
are not "interested persons" (as such term is defined in the 1940 Act) of the
Fund, or (2) a majority of the outstanding voting shares of the Fund or, with
respect to a particular Series, by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting
shares of such Series, on 60 days' written notice to the Administrator; and (b)
by the Administrator on or after September 30, 2003, without the payment of any
