For failure to comply with this warranty, the non-complying party shall immediately replace all copies of the affected work product, system or software. All costs incurred with replacement including, but not limited to, cost of media, shipping, deliveries and installation, shall be borne by such party.

5. Proprietary Rights

A. Each party acknowledges and agrees that it obtains no rights in or to any of the software, hardware, processes, trade secrets, proprietary information or distribution and communication networks of the other hereunder. Any software, interfaces or other programs a party provides to the other hereunder shall be used by such receiving party only in accordance with the provisions of this Appendix A. Any interfaces, other software or other programs developed by one party shall not be used directly or indirectly by or for the other party or any of its affiliates to connect such receiving party or any affiliate to any other person, without the first party’s prior written approval, which it may give or withhold in its sole discretion.

B. The Fund’s web site(s) and the Electronic Services may contain certain intellectual property, including, but not limited to, rights in copyrighted works, trademarks and trade dress that is the property of the other party. Each party retains all rights in such intellectual property that may reside on the other party’s web site, not including any intellectual property provided by or otherwise obtained from such other party. To the extent the intellectual property of one party is cached to expedite communication, such party grants to the other a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to such intellectual property for a period of time no longer than that reasonably necessary for the communication. To the extent that the intellectual property of one party is duplicated within the other party’s web site to replicate the “look and feel,” “trade dress” or other aspect of the appearance or functionality of the first site, that party grants to the other a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to such intellectual property for the period during which this Appendix A is in effect. This license is limited to the intellectual property needed to replicate the appearance of the first site and does not extend to any other intellectual property owned by the owner of the first site. Each party warrants that it has sufficient right, title and interest in and to its web site and its intellectual property to enter into these obligations, and that to its

knowledge, the license hereby granted to the other party does not and will not infringe on any U.S. patent, copyright or other proprietary right of a third party.

C. Each party agrees that the nonbreaching party would not have an adequate remedy at law in the event of the other party’s breach or threatened breach of its obligations under this Section 5 of this Appendix A and that the nonbreaching party would suffer irreparable injury and damage as a result of any such breach. Accordingly, in the event either party breaches or threatens to breach the obligations set forth in this Section of this Appendix A, in addition to and not in lieu of any legal or other remedies a party may pursue hereunder or under applicable law, each party hereby consents to the aggrieved party seeking equitable relief (including the issuance of a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or permanent injunction) against it by a court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bond or other security therefor, prohibiting any such breach or threatened breach. In any proceeding upon a motion for such equitable relief, a party’s ability to answer in damages shall not be interposed as a defense to the granting of such equitable relief. The provisions of this Section relating to equitable relief shall survive termination of the provision of services set forth in this Appendix A.

6. Compensation

Fund Services shall be compensated for providing the Electronic Services selected by the Fund from time to time in accordance with the fee schedule set forth in each applicable Exhibit (as amended from time to time).

7. Additional Indemnification; Limitation of Liability

A. Subject to Section 2, Fund Services CANNOT AND DOES NOT GUARANTEE AVAILABILITY OF THE ELECTRONIC SERVICES. Accordingly, Fund Services’ sole liability to the Trust, the Fund, or any third party (including End Users) for any claims, notwithstanding the form of such claims (e.g., contract, negligence, or otherwise), arising out of the delay of or interruption in the Electronic Services to be provided by Fund Services hereunder shall be to use its best reasonable efforts to commence or resume the Electronic Services as promptly as is reasonably possible.

B. Fund Services shall, at its sole cost and expense, defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Trust and each Fund and the Fund’s trustees, officers, agents, and employees from and against any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses and liabilities of any and every nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising out of or relating to (a) any infringement, or claim of infringement, of any United States patent, trademark, copyright, trade secret, or other proprietary rights based on the use or potential use of the Electronic Services and (b) the provision of the Fund Files (as defined below) or Confidential Information (as defined below) to a person other than a person to whom such information may be properly disclosed hereunder.

C. If an injunction is issued against the Fund’s use of the Electronic Services by reason of infringement of a patent, copyright, trademark, or other proprietary rights of a third party, Fund Services shall, at its own option and expense, either (i) procure for the Fund the right to continue to use the Electronic Services on substantially the same terms and conditions as specified hereunder, or (ii) after notification to the Fund, replace or modify the Electronic Services so that they

become non-infringing, provided that, in the Fund’s judgment, such replacement or modification does not materially and adversely affect the performance of the Electronic Services or significantly lessen their utility to the Fund. If in the Fund’s judgment, such replacement or modification does materially adversely affect the performance of the Electronic Services or significantly lessen their utility to the Fund, the Fund may terminate all rights and responsibilities under this Appendix A immediately on written notice to Fund Services.

D. Because the ability of Fund Services to deliver Electronic Services is dependent upon the Internet and equipment, software, systems, data and services provided by various telecommunications carriers, equipment manufacturers, firewall providers and encryption system developers and other vendors and third parties, Fund Services shall not be liable for delays or failures to perform its obligations hereunder to the extent that such delays or failures are attributable to circumstances beyond its reasonable control which interfere with the delivery of the Electronic Services by means of the Internet or any of the equipment, software and services which support the Internet provided by such third parties. Fund Services shall also not be liable for the actions or omissions of any third parties involved in the Electronic Services and shall not be liable for the selection of any such third party, unless Fund Services selected the third party in bad faith or in a grossly negligent manner.

E. Fund Services shall not be responsible for the accuracy of input material from End Users nor the resultant output derived from inaccurate input. The accuracy of input and output shall be judged as received at Fund Services’ data center as determined by the records maintained by Fund Services.

A.

Fund Services’ security provisions with respect to the Electronic Services, the Fund’s web site(s) and the Fund Files will be no less protected than Fund Services’ security provisions with respect to its own proprietary information. Fund Services agrees that any and all Fund Files maintained by Fund Services for the Fund hereunder shall be available for inspection by the Fund’s regulatory authorities during regular business hours, upon reasonable prior written notice to Fund Services, and will be maintained and retained in accordance with applicable requirements of the 1940 Act. Fund Services will take such actions as are necessary to protect the intellectual property contained within the Fund’s web site(s) or any software, written materials, or pictorial materials describing or creating the Fund’s web site(s), including all interface designs or specifications. Fund Services will take such actions as are reasonably necessary to protect all rights to the source code and interface of the Fund’s web site(s). In addition, Fund Services will not use, or permit the use of, names of End Users for the purpose of soliciting any business, product, or service

whatsoever except where the communication is necessary and appropriate for Fund Services’ delivery of the Electronic Services.

B. Fund Services shall treat as confidential and not disclose or otherwise make available any of the Fund’s lists, information, trade secrets, processes, proprietary data, information or documentation (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), in any form, to any person other than agents, employees or consultants of Fund Services. Fund Services will instruct its agents, employees and consultants who have access to the Confidential Information to keep such information confidential by using the same care and discretion that Fund Services uses with respect to its own confidential property and trade secrets. Upon termination of the rights and responsibilities described in this Appendix A for any reason and upon the Fund’s request, Fund Services shall return to the Fund, or destroy and certify that it has destroyed, any and all copies of the Confidential Information which are in its possession. This Section 8(B) and Section 8(C) below shall be read with Section 10 of the Agreement in a manner that is most protective of Trust Confidential Information, and this Section 8(B) shall not otherwise limit Fund Services’ obligations under Section 10 of the Agreement.

C. Notwithstanding the above, Fund Services will not have an obligation of confidentiality under this Section 8 with regard to information that (1) was known to it prior to disclosure hereunder, (2) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a breach hereof, (3) is disclosed to it by a third party not subject to a duty of confidentiality, or (4) is required to be disclosed under law or by the order of a court of governmental agency. Notwithstanding 8(C)(4), Fund Services shall continue to treat any information disclosed under law or by the order of a court or governmental agency as Confidential Information under this Agreement.

9. Warranties
