act only upon Oral Instructions and Written Instructions.

                  (b) PFPC shall be entitled to rely upon any Oral  Instructions
and Written Instructions it receives from an Authorized Person (or from a person
reasonably  believed  by  PFPC  to be an  Authorized  Person)  pursuant  to this
Agreement.  PFPC may assume  that any Oral  Instruction  or Written  Instruction
received  hereunder  is not in any  way  inconsistent  with  the  provisions  of
organizational  documents  or  this  Agreement  or of any  vote,  resolution  or
proceeding

                                                                               3

PFPC receives Written Instructions to the contrary.

                  (c) The Fund  agrees to forward to PFPC  Written  Instructions
confirming Oral  Instructions  (except where such Oral Instructions are given by
PFPC or its  affiliates) so that PFPC receives the Written  Instructions  by the

fact that such confirming Written Instructions are not received by PFPC shall in

Instructions  reasonably appear to have been received from an Authorized Person,
PFPC shall incur no liability to the Fund in acting upon such Oral  Instructions

         6.       RIGHT TO RECEIVE ADVICE.

it should or should not take, PFPC may request  directions or advice,  including
Oral Instructions or Written Instructions, from the Fund.

                  (b)  ADVICE OF  COUNSEL.  If PFPC  shall be in doubt as to any
question of law pertaining to any action it should or should not take,  PFPC may
request advice at its own cost from such counsel of its own choosing (who may be
counsel for the Fund,  the Fund's  investment  adviser or PFPC, at the option of
PFPC).

                  (c)  CONFLICTING  ADVICE.  In the event of a conflict  between
directions,  advice or Oral  Instructions or Written  Instructions PFPC receives
from the Fund and the advice PFPC receives

                                                                               4

from counsel,  PFPC may rely upon and follow the advice of counsel. In the event
PFPC so relies on the advice of counsel,  PFPC remains  liable for any action or
omission on the part of PFPC which constitutes willful  misfeasance,  bad faith,
gross  negligence or reckless  disregard by PFPC of any duties,  obligations  or
responsibilities set forth in this Agreement.

                  (d) PROTECTION OF PFPC.  PFPC shall be protected in any action
it  takes  or  does  not  take  in  reliance  upon  directions,  advice  or Oral
Instructions  or Written  Instructions it receives from the Fund or from counsel
and which PFPC believes,  in good faith, to be consistent with those directions,
advice and Oral  Instructions or Written  Instructions.  Nothing in this section
shall be  construed  so as to  impose an  obligation  upon PFPC (i) to seek such
directions,  advice or Oral Instructions or Written Instructions, or (ii) to act
in  accordance  with such  directions,  advice or Oral  Instructions  or Written
Instructions unless, under the terms of other provisions of this Agreement,  the
same is a condition of PFPC's properly taking or not taking such action. Nothing
in this  subsection  shall excuse PFPC when an action or omission on the part of
PFPC constitutes  willful  misfeasance,  bad faith, gross negligence or reckless
disregard by PFPC of any duties,  obligations or  responsibilities  set forth in
this Agreement.

         7.       RECORDS; VISITS.

                  (a) The  books  and  records  pertaining  to the  Fund and the
Portfolios which are in the possession or under the control of PFPC shall be the

required  by the  1940 Act and  other  applicable  securities  laws,  rules  and
regulations.  The Fund,  Authorized  Persons and any  regulatory  agency  having

         8. CONFIDENTIALITY. PFPC agrees to keep confidential all records of the
Fund and  information  relating  to the Fund and its  shareholders,  unless  the
release of such records or information is otherwise consented to, in writing, by
the Fund. The Fund agrees that such consent shall not be  unreasonably  withheld
and may not be withheld where PFPC may be exposed to civil or criminal  contempt
proceedings  or when  required to divulge  such  information  or records to duly
constituted authorities.

         9. LIAISON WITH ACCOUNTANTS.  PFPC shall act as liaison with the Fund's

additional  expense  to the Fund,  take  reasonable  steps to  minimize  service
interruptions.  PFPC shall have no liability with respect to the loss of data or
service  interruptions  caused  by  equipment  failure,  provided  such  loss or
interruption is not caused by PFPC's own willful  misfeasance,  bad faith, gross
negligence  or  reckless  disregard  of its  duties or  obligations  under  this
Agreement.

                  11.  COMPENSATION.  As compensation  for services  rendered by
PFPC during the term of this  Agreement,  the Fund, on behalf of each Portfolio,

directly or  indirectly  from any action or omission to act which PFPC takes (i)
at the request or on the  direction  of or in reliance on the advice of the Fund

misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties and

securities and blue sky laws, and  amendments  thereto) and expenses,  including
(without  limitation)  reasonable  attorneys'  fees  and  disbursements  arising
directly or indirectly  out of PFPC's or its nominees' own willful  misfeasance,
bad faith,  gross negligence or reckless disregard of its duties and obligations
under this Agreement.

                  (c) In order that the indemnification  provisions contained in
this Section  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.  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.

                  (b) Without limiting the generality of the foregoing or of any
other  provision  of this  Agreement,  (i) PFPC  shall not be liable  for losses
beyond its control, provided that PFPC has acted in accordance with the standard
of care set forth above;  and (ii) PFPC shall not be liable for (A) the validity
or  invalidity or authority or lack thereof of any Oral  Instruction  or Written

liability of PFPC with respect to all such Special  Damages  arising  during the

<PAGE>

written  above and shall  continue for a period of three (3) years (the "Initial
Term").   Upon  the  expiration  of  the  Initial  Term,  this  Agreement  shall
automatically  renew for successive terms of one (1) year ("Renewal Terms") each
provided  that it may be terminated  by either party  without  penalty  during a
Renewal  Term upon  written  notice  given at least  sixty  (60)  days  prior to
termination. During either the Initial Term or the Renewal Terms, this Agreement
may also be terminated on an earlier date by either party for cause.

         With respect to the Fund,  cause shall mean PFPC's  material  breach of
this Agreement causing it to fail to substantially perform its duties under this
Agreement.  In order for such material  breach to constitute  "cause" under this
Paragraph,  PFPC  must  receive  written  notice  from the Fund  specifying  the
material  breach and PFPC shall not have  corrected  such breach within a 30-day
period. With respect to PFPC, cause includes, but is not limited to, the failure
of the Fund to pay the  compensation  set forth in writing pursuant to Paragraph
11 of this Agreement  after it has received  written notice from PFPC specifying
the  amount  due and the Fund  shall not have paid that  amount  within a 30-day
period.  A  constructive  termination  of this  Agreement  will  result  where a
substantial  percentage  of the  Fund's  assets are  transferred,  merged or are
otherwise removed from the Fund to another fund(s) that is not serviced by PFPC.

         Any notice of termination  for cause shall be effective sixty (60) days
from the date of any such notice.  Upon the termination  hereof,  the Fund shall
pay to PFPC such  compensation as may be due for the period prior to the date of
such  termination.  Any  termination  effected  shall not  affect the rights and
obligations of the parties under Paragraphs 12 and 13 hereof.

         17.      NOTICES.  All  notices  and  other  communications,  including
Written Instructions, shall

                                       13

device.  If notice is sent by  confirming  telegram,  cable,  telex or facsimile

principles of conflicts of law.

                  (d) PARTIAL  INVALIDITY.  If any  provision of this  Agreement
