terminated and additional Funds established from time to time by action of the
Trustees of the Trust.
The Administrator hereby accepts such employment, and agrees to administer
the Trust's business affairs and, in connection therewith, to furnish for the
use of the Trust office space and all necessary office facilities, equipment and

any applicable votes of the Trustees of the Trust, as shown in Schedule B to
this Agreement.
In case of initiation or termination of the Agreement during any month with
respect to any Fund, the fee for that month shall be reduced proportionately on
the basis of the number of calendar days during which it is in effect and the
fee shall be computed upon the average net assets for the business days it is so
in effect for that month.

compensation.

Administrator being free to render services to others and engage in other
business activities. In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross
negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties hereunder on the part
of the Administrator, the Administrator shall not be subject to liability to the
Trust or to any shareholder of the Trust for any act or omission in the course
