Instructions unless, under the terms of other provisions of this Agreement, the
same is a condition of PFPC's properly taking or not taking such action. Nothing

to minimize service interruptions. PFPC shall have no liability with respect to

faith, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties or obligations under this
Agreement.
11. COMPENSATION. As compensation for services rendered by PFPC during
the term of this Agreement, the Fund, on behalf of each Portfolio, will pay to

securities and blue sky laws, and amendments thereto), and expenses, including
(without limitation) attorneys' fees and disbursements arising directly or
indirectly from any action or omission to act which PFPC takes (i) at the
request or on the direction of or in reliance on the advice of the Fund or (ii)
upon Oral Instructions or Written Instructions. Neither PFPC, nor any of its
affiliates, shall be indemnified against any liability (or any expenses incident
to such liability) arising out of PFPC's or its affiliates' own willful
misfeasance, bad faith, negligence or reckless disregard of its duties and
obligations under this Agreement. Any amounts payable by the Fund hereunder
shall be satisfied only against the relevant Portfolio's assets and not against
the assets of any other investment portfolio of the Fund.

to use its best efforts, within reasonable limits, in performing services
provided for under this Agreement. PFPC shall be liable for any damages arising
out of PFPC's failure to perform its duties under this Agreement to the extent

reckless disregard of such duties.

other provision of this Agreement, (i) PFPC shall not be liable for losses
beyond its control, provided that PFPC has acted in accordance with the standard
of care set forth above; and (ii) PFPC shall not be liable for (A) the validity
or invalidity or authority or lack thereof of any Oral Instruction or Written
Instruction, notice or other instrument which conforms to the applicable
