ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT
AGREEMENT made as of the November 1, 2004, by and between the
registered investment companies, including any portfolio/series thereof, as set
forth on Schedule A (each, a "Fund" and collectively, the "Funds") as may be
amended from time to time, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Services Company Inc., a Delaware
corporation (hereinafter called the "MS Services"):
WHEREAS, on the date hereof, the Funds and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Investment
Advisors Inc. (the "Investment Adviser") are entering into an Amended and
Restated Investment Advisory Agreement (the "Investment Advisory Agreement")
which further amends an Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement,
dated as of May 1, 2004 between the Funds and the Investment Adviser (the
"Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement") to remove from the
Amended and Restated Investment Management Agreement administrative and other
management services, with those services to be provided for in a separate
agreement;
WHEREAS, the Funds desire to retain MS Services to perform the
administrative services as described below; and
WHEREAS, MS Services desires to be retained by the Funds to perform
such administrative services;
Now, therefore, in consideration of the mutual covenants and agreements
of the parties hereto as herein set forth, the parties covenant and agree as
follows:
1. MS Services agrees to provide administrative services to each Fund as
hereinafter set forth. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, MS
Services shall (i) administer the Fund's business affairs and supervise the
overall day-to-day operations of the Fund (other than rendering investment
advice); (ii) provide the Fund with full administrative services, including the
maintenance of certain books and records, such as journals, ledger accounts and
other records required under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the
"Act"), the notification to the Fund of available funds for investment, the
reconciliation of account information and balances among the Fund's custodian,
transfer agent and dividend disbursing agent and the Fund, and the calculation
of the net asset value of the Fund's shares; (iii) provide the Fund with the
services of persons competent to perform such supervisory, administrative and
clerical functions as are necessary to provide effective operation of the Fund;
(iv) oversee the performance of administrative and professional services
rendered to the Fund by others, including its custodian, transfer agent and
dividend disbursing agent, as well as accounting, auditing and other services,
including: (1) maintenance of the books and records and accounting controls for
the Fund's assets, including records of all securities transactions; (2) daily
calculation of the net asset value for each of the Fund's Portfolios; (3)
accounting for dividends and interest received and distributions made by each of
the Fund's Portfolios; (4) preparation and filing of the Fund's U.S. tax returns
and annual and semi-annual reports; (5) the production of transaction data,
financial reports and such other periodic and special reports as the Board of
Directors of the Fund may reasonably request; (6) the preparation of financial
statements for the annual and semi-annual reports and other shareholder
communications; (7) liaison with the Fund's independent registered public
accounting firms; (8) monitoring and administration of arrangements with the
Fund's custodian and depository banks; and (9) maintenance of (but not the
payment for) the Fidelity Bond required to be maintained under Investment
Company Act of 1940 (the "1940 Act") and preparation of the filings required in
connection therewith; (v) provide the Fund with adequate general office space
and facilities; (vi) assist in the preparation and the printing of the periodic
updating of the Fund's registration statement and prospectus (and, in the case
of an open-end Fund, the statement of additional information), tax returns,
proxy statements, and reports
to its shareholders and the Securities and Exchange Commission; and (vii)
monitor the compliance of the Fund's investment policies and restrictions.
2. MS Services shall, at its own expense, maintain such staff and employ or
retain such personnel and consult with such other persons as it shall from time
to time determine to be necessary or useful to the performance of its
obligations under this Agreement. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, the staff and personnel of MS Services shall be deemed to include
officers of MS Services and persons employed or otherwise retained by MS
Services (including officers and employees of the Funds, with the consent of the
Funds) to furnish services, statistical and other factual data, information with
respect to technical and scientific developments, and such other information,
advice and assistance as MS Services may desire. MS Services shall maintain each
Fund's records and books of account (other than those maintained by the Fund's
transfer agent, registrar, custodian and other agencies). All such books and
records so maintained shall be the property of the Fund and, upon request
therefor, MS Services shall surrender to the Fund such of the books and records
so requested.
3. The Funds will, from time to time, furnish or otherwise make available to MS
Services such financial reports, proxy statements and other information relating
to the business and affairs of the Fund as MS Services may reasonably require in
order to discharge its duties and obligations to the Fund under this Agreement
or to comply with any applicable law and regulation or request of the Board of
Directors/Trustees of the Fund.
4. For the services to be rendered, the facilities furnished, and the expenses
assumed by MS Services, the Funds shall pay to MS Services monthly compensation
calculated daily (in the case of an open-end Fund) or weekly (in the case of a
closed-end Fund) by applying the annual rate or rates set forth on Schedule B to
the net assets of each Fund. Except as hereinafter set forth, (i) in the case of
an open-end Fund, compensation under this Agreement shall be calculated by
applying 1/365th of the annual rate or rates to the Fund's or the Series' daily
net assets determined as of the close of business on that day or the last
previous business day and (ii) in the case of a closed-end Fund, compensation
under this Agreement shall be calculated by applying the annual rate or rates to
the Fund's average weekly net assets determined as of the close of the last
business day of each week. If this Agreement becomes effective subsequent to the
first day of a month or shall terminate before the last day of a month,
compensation for that part of the month this Agreement is in effect shall be
prorated in a manner consistent with the calculation of the fees as set forth on
Schedule B. For the purposes of calculating the administrative fee for the
closed-end funds referenced on Annex 2 to the Investment Advisory Agreement, the
liquidation preference of any Preferred Shares issued by each of such Funds will
not be deducted from the Fund's total assets. Subject to the provisions of
paragraph 5 hereof, payment of MS Services' compensation for the preceding month
shall be made as promptly as possible after completion of the computations
contemplated by paragraph 5 hereof.
5. In the event the operating expenses of those Funds identified in Annex 3 to
the Investment Advisory Agreement, including amounts payable to the Investment
Adviser pursuant to paragraph 7 thereof and the amounts payable hereunder, for
any fiscal year ending on a date on which this Agreement is in effect, exceed
the expense limitations applicable to the Fund and/or any Series thereof imposed
by state securities laws or regulations thereunder, as such limitations may be
raised or lowered from time to time, the fee payable hereunder shall be reduced
on a pro rata basis in the same proportion as the fee payable by the Fund under
the Investment Advisory Agreement is reduced.
6. MS Services shall bear the cost of rendering the administrative services to
be performed by it under this Agreement, and shall, at its own expense, pay the
compensation of the officers and employees, if any, of the Funds who are also
directors, officers or employees of MS Services, and provide such office space
and equipment and such clerical and bookkeeping services as each Fund shall
reasonably require
2
in the conduct of its business. MS Services shall also bear the cost of heat,
light, power and other utilities provided to each Fund and the cost of
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the ordinary course of providing services
under this Agreement, such as telephone, fax, system usage, internal controls
assurance (such as a Statement on Auditing Standards (SAS) No. 70 report),
envelopes, postage and special delivery mail. Each Fund shall reimburse MS
Services for any extraordinary expenses and the expenses of one or more
independent pricing services, approved from time to time by the Board of
Directors of a Fund, to obtain securities prices in connection with determining
the net asset value of the Fund. The Fund will reimburse MS Services for its
share of the cost of such services based upon its actual use of the services.
7. MS Services will use its best efforts in the performance of administrative
activities on behalf of each Fund, but in the absence of willful misfeasance,
bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of its obligations hereunder,
MS Services shall not be liable to the Fund or any of its investors for any
error of judgment or mistake of law or for any act or omission by MS Services or
for any losses sustained by the Fund or its investors.
8. It is understood that any of the shareholders, Directors/Trustees, officers
and employees of the Fund may be a shareholder, director, officer or employee
of, or be otherwise interested in, MS Services, and in any person controlling,
controlled by or under common control with MS Services, and that MS Services and
any person controlling, controlled by or under common control with MS Services
may have an interest in the Fund. It is also understood that MS Services and any
affiliated persons thereof or any persons controlling, controlled by or under
common control with MS Services have and may have advisory, management,
administration service or other contracts with other organizations and persons,
and may have other interests and businesses, and further may purchase, sell or
trade any securities or commodities for their own accounts or for the account of
others for whom they may be acting.
9. This Agreement shall continue unless terminated by either party by written
notice delivered to the other party within 30 days. In the event that the
Amended and Restated Investment Advisory Agreement between any Fund and the
Investment Adviser is terminated, this Agreement will automatically terminate
with respect to such Fund.
10. This Agreement may be amended or modified by the parties in any manner by
written agreement executed by each of the parties hereto.
11. This Agreement may be assigned by either party with the written consent of
the other party.
12. This Agreement shall be construed and interpreted in accordance with the
laws of the State of New York.
