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.
3
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 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
4

(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 penalty, upon 60 days'
written notice to the Fund.

shall be in writing and shall be duly given if mailed or delivered to the
Administrator at ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, ▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇-▇▇▇▇, or to such other
