F.Quality Service Standards
Price Associates and the Fund may, from time to time, agree to certain quality service standards, with respect to Price Associates` services hereunder.
G.Standard of Care/Indemnification
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:
1.Where a pricing 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 a pricing 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 a pricing 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 of Directors of the Fund (unless the Fund is fully compensated for the loss or dilution), provided that final settlement with respect to such errors will not be made until approved by the Board of Directors of the Fund. A summary of all pricing 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 a pricing 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, 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 reasonableness of such procedures and controls, weight will be given to such factors as are appropriate, including the prior occurrence of any similar errors or omissions, when such procedures and controls were in place and fund accounting industry standards in place at the time of the error.
2.The Fund shall indemnify and hold Price Associates harmless from and against all losses, costs, damages, claims, actions, and expenses, including reasonable expenses for legal counsel, incurred by Price Associates resulting from: (i) any action or omission by Price Associates or its agents or subcontractors in the performance of their duties hereunder; (ii) Price Associates acting upon instructions believed by it to have been executed by a duly authorized officer of the Fund; or (iii) Price Associates acting upon information provided by the Fund in form and under policies agreed to by Price Associates and the Fund. Price Associates shall not be entitled to such indemnification in respect of actions or omissions constituting negligence or willful misconduct of Price Associates or where Price Associates has not exercised reasonable care in selecting or monitoring the performance of its agents or subcontractors.
3. Price Associates shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund from all losses, costs, damages, claims, actions and expenses, including reasonable expenses for legal counsel, incurred by the Fund resulting from the negligence or willful misconduct of Price Associates or which result from Price Associates` failure to exercise reasonable care in selecting or monitoring the performance of its agents or subcontractors. The Fund shall not be entitled to such indemnification with respect to actions or omissions constituting negligence or willful misconduct of such Fund or its agents or subcontractors; unless such negligence or misconduct is attributable to Price Associates.
▇.▇▇ the event either party is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of acts of God, strikes or other causes reasonably beyond its control, such party shall not be liable to the other party for any loss, cost, damage, claim, action or expense resulting from such failure to perform or otherwise from such causes.
▇.▇▇ order that the indemnification provisions contained in this Article G shall apply, upon the assertion of a claim for which either party may be required to indemnify the other, the party seeking indemnification shall promptly notify the other party of such assertion, and shall keep the other party advised with respect to all developments concerning such claim. The party who may be required to indemnify shall have the option to participate with the party seeking indemnification in the defense of such claim, or to defend against said claim in its own name or in the name of the other party. The party seeking indemnification shall in no case confess any claim or make any compromise in any case in which the other party may be required to indemnify it except with the other party`s prior written consent.
6.Neither party to this Agreement shall be liable to the other party for consequential damages under any provision of this Agreement.
H.Dual Interests
It is understood that some person or persons may be directors, officers, or shareholders of both the Fund and Price Associates (including Price Associates` affiliates), and that the existence of any such dual interest shall not affect the validity of this Agreement or of any transactions hereunder except as otherwise provided by a specific provision of applicable law.
I.Documentation
As requested by Price Associates, the Fund shall promptly furnish to Price Associates such documents as it may reasonably request and as are necessary for Price Associates to carry out its responsibilities hereunder.
J.Recordkeeping/Confidentiality
1.Price Associates shall keep records relating to the services to be performed hereunder, in the form and manner as it may deem advisable, provided that Price Associates shall keep all records in such form and in such manner as required by applicable law, including the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("the Act") and the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("the xd4 34 Act").
2.Price Associates and the Fund agree that all books, records, information and data pertaining to the business of the other party which are exchanged or received pursuant to the negotiation or the carrying out of this Agreement shall remain confidential, and shall not be voluntarily disclosed to any other person, except: (a) after prior notification to and approval in writing by the other party hereto, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not be withheld where Price Associates or Fund may be exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to comply; (b) when requested to divulge such information by duly constituted governmental authorities; or (c) after so requested by the other party hereto.
K.Compliance With Governmental Rules and Regulations
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and except for the accuracy of information furnished to the Funds by Price Associates, each Fund assumes full responsibility for the preparation, contents and distribution of its prospectuses, and for complying with all applicable requirements of the Act, the xd4 34 Act, the Securities Act of 1933 ("the xd4 33 Act"), and any laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Funds.

2.This Agreement may be terminated by the Fund upon sixty (60) days` written notice to Price Associates; and by Price Associates, upon three hundred sixty-five (365) days` written notice to the Fund.
3.Upon termination hereof, the Fund shall pay to Price Associates such compensation as may be due as of the date of such termination, and shall likewise reimburse for out-of-pocket expenses related to its services hereunder.
M.Notice
Any notice as required by this Agreement shall be sufficiently given (i) when sent to an authorized person of the other party at the address of such party set forth above or at such other address as such party may from time to time specify in writing to the other party; or (ii) as otherwise agreed upon by appropriate officers of the parties hereto.
N.Assignment
Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned either voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, provided this shall not preclude Price Associates from employing such agents and subcontractors as it deems appropriate to carry out its obligations set forth hereunder.
O.Amendment/Interpretive Provisions
The parties by mutual written agreement may amend this Agreement at any time. In addition, in connection with the operation of this Agreement, Price Associates and the Fund may agree from time to time on such provisions interpretive of or in addition to the provisions of this Agreement as may in their joint opinion be consistent with the general tenor of this Agreement.
