Data Collection and Performance Rating Calculation:
Beginning as of the Calendar Quarter commencing June 1, 2008 and ending
September 30, 2008, and for each Calendar Quarter thereafter during the term of
this Agreement, the Sub-Administrator will calculate its Performance Rating in
accordance with the procedures set forth herein, and deliver a Performance
Report to the Administrator.
During the month-end process, each Event will be assigned a value of one when
the Sub-Administrator performs the KPI at or above the corresponding Performance
Standard or when such KPI is not monitored due to the fact that such KPI relates
to an activity that is not required to be performed during such month
("Successful Events") and a value of zero when the Sub-Administrator fails to
perform the KPI at or above the corresponding Performance Standard ("Deficient
Events").
The Sub-Administrator's quarterly Performance Rating shall be calculated by
dividing the aggregate number of Successful Events during the Calendar Quarter
by three times the number of KPI, currently thirty-nine. A "Service Level
Deficiency" will occur when the Performance Rating falls below the Performance
Minimum.
Performance Standard Exceptions:
In determining the Sub-Administrator's conformance with the KPI set forth
herein, the Sub-Administrator shall be excused from its failure to achieve any
KPI if such failure is caused by any of the following: (i) the Sub-Administrator
does not receive, after proper and timely request, if applicable, proper and
timely reporting from the Administrator, custodians, prime brokers, transfer
agents, banks, pricing agents, investment manager and any outside agent whose
information is integral to the Sub-Administrator's deliverables; (ii) the
Sub-Administrator does not receive, after timely request, timely approvals and
confirmations from the Portfolios and the investment manager as required in
connection with the performance standards; or (iii) performance within the
stated KPI is adversely affected by a change in the standards of a third party
processing agent outside of the control of the Sub-Administrator or upon the
occurrence of one or more circumstances or events of force majeure or equipment
failure, as described in ARTICLE 15 or ARTICLE 16 of the Agreement.
An Event shall not be considered a Deficient Event to the extent that the
Sub-Administrator's errors or delays are caused by any of the exceptions set
forth above or other circumstances outside the reasonable control of the
Sub-Administrator, including, without limitation, any changes or updates not
previously requested by the Portfolios during month-end processing. Such Events
shall not be included in the total number of Events for purposes of calculating
the Performance Rating during any Calendar Quarter.
Reporting:
The Sub-Administrator shall provide a written Performance Report to the
Administrator that shall set forth the Sub-Administrator's Performance Rating
during the applicable Calendar Quarter as well as the Sub-Administrator's
monthly performance of each of the KPI. The Sub-Administrator will prepare and
distribute the Performance Report to the Administrator promptly following the
close of the applicable Calendar Quarter and use best efforts before the
deadline specified by the Administrator for inclusion of the report in Board of
Trustee meeting materials. The Administrator will promptly review the
Performance Report and provide comments, if any, to the Sub-Administrator.
Notification & Corrective Action:
In the event of a Service Level Deficiency, the Administrator may provide
written notification ("Deficiency Notice") to the Sub-Administrator requesting
that the Sub-Administrator modify its procedures in an effort to ensure that
such Service Level Deficiency is resolved. Upon receipt of a Deficiency Notice,
the Sub-Administrator shall have at least one full Calendar Quarter ("Cure
Period") to implement corrective action with respect to such Service Level
Deficiency. If such efforts are successful in correcting the Service Level
Deficiency in the next Calendar Quarter ("Cure"), the Funds shall have no other
rights with respect to such Service Level Deficiency. In the event that the
Sub-Administrator fails to Cure the Service Level Deficiency during the Cure
Period, the Sub-Administrator shall issue a credit to the Administrator on the
Administrator's next monthly invoice equal to $25,000. The Sub-Administrator
shall only be entitled to one Cure Period during any rolling twelve month
period. Thereafter, any Service Level Deficiency shall immediately result in the
Sub-Administrator issuing a credit to the Administrator on the next monthly
invoice equal to $25,000.
NAV Error Credit:
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that the Sub-Administrator
calculates a Portfolio NAV that includes an NAV Error, the Sub-Administrator
shall provide the Administrator with NAV Error credits in the manner set forth
below:
NAV Error NAV Error Credit
--------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------
