You agree that you will comply with all of the foregoing obligations of this paragraph to the extent that information is treated as customer information of the Fund under applicable law or regulation, including without limitation Regulation S-P. Each party further agrees to take commercially reasonable steps, in accordance with applicable law, to safeguard customer information. The provisions of this paragraph will survive termination of the Agreement.

You agree to provide other assistance reasonably designed to achieve compliance with these policies. You will maintain and enforce policies with respect to frequent trading and share redemption as are reasonable and customary in the industry. To the extent that accounts are held in street name, you agree to cooperate with the Fund and the Fund’s Chief Compliance Officer (including, to the extent practicable, providing account level sales and redemption information) to assist in compliance with the frequent trading and redemption fee provisions as set forth in the Fund’s prospectus and other policies set forth in the Fund’s Registration Statement.

          (g) Purchases, exchanges and redemptions of Shares through you will be at the public offering price of such Shares (the net asset value of the Shares, with appropriate adjustments for any applicable sales charge), as determined in accordance with the then effective Registration Statement used in connection with the offer and sale of the Shares. The public offering price will reflect scheduled variations in or the elimination of sales charges on sales of Shares either generally to the public or in connection with special purchase plans, as described in the Registration Statement. You agree to apply any scheduled variation in or waivers of sales charges uniformly to all customers meeting the qualifications therefor as specified in the Registration Statement. With respect to Funds sold with an initial sales charge, your customers will be entitled to reduced sales charges on purchases made under any letter of intent or right of accumulation as described in the

4

Registration Statement. In such case, the concession from the public offering price retained by you will be based upon such reduced sales charge. When placing wire trades, your agree to advise the Funds of any letter of intent executed by its customer or any available right of accumulation. The minimum initial purchase and the minimum subsequent purchase of any Shares shall be as set forth in the applicable Registration Statement. All orders are subject to acceptance or rejection by the applicable Fund in its sole discretion for any reason.

          (h) The handling and settlement of purchase, exchange and redemption orders will be subject to the provisions of the Registration Statement and such further procedures as the Funds and you may determine to be appropriate from time-to-time, consistent with this Amendment.

You will be responsible for the accuracy, timeliness and completeness of purchase, redemption or exchange orders accepted by you.

          (i) PFSI may print Fund current prospectuses and statements of additional information for PFSI’s use, which may not vary in any material respect from the relevant Fund’s then-current prospectus and statement of additional information. PFSI’s printing will comply in all material respects with all applicable legal and regulatory standards. The Board for any Fund may terminate these printing services at any time upon written notice to PFSI.

          (j) The Fund acknowledges that the co-principal underwriter which is affiliated with Xxxx Xxxxx, Inc. shall be responsible for reviewing the Registration Statement of each Fund, as applicable, for the accuracy and completeness of all disclosure concerning the distribution of Shares and that you shall not have such responsibility, except, in each case, to the extent the disclosure information is provided by you or pertains to information concerning your operations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this paragraph shall alter your responsibilities for complying with the terms of the Registration Statement in your offering of Shares.

     5. Records.

     7. Indemnification

     You agree to indemnify, defend and hold the Fund, its several officers and Board members, and any person who controls the Fund within the meaning of Section 15 of the 1933 Act, free and harmless from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities and expenses (including the cost of investigating or defending such claims, demands or liabilities and any counsel fees incurred in connection therewith) which the Fund, its officers or Board members, or any such controlling person may incur, under the 1933 Act or under common law or otherwise, on account of (i) any act of yours or any of your employees constituting willful misfeasance, bad faith, or gross negligence in the performance of your duties, (ii) by reason of your reckless disregard of your obligations and duties under the Agreement or this Amendment; or (iii) any act of yours or any of your employees constituting negligence with respect to any services performed related to printing prospectuses or statements of additional information for a Fund, as described in Paragraph 4(i) of this Amendment.
