ARTICLE 4. Limitation of Liability and Indemnification. The duties of
-------------------------------------------
BISYS shall be confined to those expressly set forth herein, and no implied
duties are assumed by or may be asserted against BISYS hereunder. BISYS shall
not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss
arising out of any act or omission in carrying out its duties hereunder, except
a loss resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of its duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations
and duties hereunder, except as may otherwise be provided under provisions of
applicable law which cannot be waived or modified hereby.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, BISYS assumes full responsibility and
shall indemnify and hold harmless the Trust and the Administrator, and their
employees, agents, directors, officers and nominees (each, an "Indemnified
Party") from and against any and all actions, suits and claims, whether
groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all losses, damages,
costs, charges, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, payments, expenses
and liabilities (including reasonable investigation expenses) arising directly
or indirectly out of BISYS's willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the
performance of its duties under this Agreement, or by reason of reckless
disregard of its obligations and duties under this Agreement.
The Administrator agrees to indemnify and hold harmless BISYS and its
employees, agents, directors, officers and nominees (each, an "Indemnified
Party") from and against any and all actions, suits and claims, whether
groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all losses, damages,
costs, charges, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, payments, expenses
and liabilities (including reasonable investigation expenses) arising out of or
in any way relating to BISYS' performance of services under this Agreement or
based upon reasonable reliance on information, records, instructions or requests
given or made to BISYS by the Administrator; provided that this indemnification
shall not apply to actions or omissions of BISYS in cases of its own willful
misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of its duties under
this Agreement, or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties
under this Agreement.
The rights under this Article 4 shall include the right to reasonable
advances of defense expenses in the event of any pending or threatened
litigation with respect to which indemnification hereunder may ultimately be
merited. In order that the indemnification provisions contained herein shall
apply, however, it is understood that if either BISYS or the Administrator, as
applicable (the "Indemnifying Party") be asked to indemnify or hold harmless an
Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall be fully and promptly advised of
all pertinent facts concerning the situation in question, and it is further
understood that BISYS or the Administrator, as applicable will use all
reasonable care to identify and notify the Indemnifying Party promptly
concerning any situation which presents or appears likely to present the
probability of such a claim for indemnification against the Indemnifying Party,
but failure to do so in good faith shall not affect the rights hereunder.
The Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate at its own
expense or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to
enforce any claims subject to this indemnity provision. If the Indemnifying
Party elects to assume the defense of any such claim, the defense shall be
conducted by counsel chosen by the Indemnifying Party and satisfactory to the
other
party, whose approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. In the event that the
Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of any suit and retain counsel,
the Indemnified Party shall bear the fees and expenses of any additional counsel
retained by it. If the Indemnifying Party does not elect to assume the defense
of a suit, it will reimburse the applicable Indemnified Parties for the
reasonable fees and expenses of any counsel retained by them. The indemnity and
defense provisions set forth herein shall indefinitely survive for a period of
five years after the termination of this Agreement.
The Indemnifying Party shall be protected in acting upon any document
which it reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by the proper person or persons. BISYS will not be held to have notice of any
change of authority of any officers, employees or agents of the Trust until
receipt of written notice thereof from the Administrator.
ARTICLE 5. Activities of BISYS.
-------------------
(a) The services of BISYS rendered to the Administrator are
not to be deemed to be exclusive. BISYS is free to render such services to
others and to have other businesses and interests. It is understood that
directors, officers, employees and shareholders of the Trust are or may be or
become interested in BISYS, as officers, employees or otherwise and that
partners, officers and employees of BISYS and its counsel are or may be or
become similarly interested in the Trust, and that BISYS may be or become
interested in the Trust as an owner of Trust shares or otherwise.
(b) BISYS warrants that during the term of this Agreement, all
of the prices, BISYS offers to the Administrator shall be equal to or more
favorable to the Administrator than the prices that BISYS offers to any of its
customers (i) for whom substantially similar services are being provided
pursuant to an agreement having a substantially similar contract term and (ii)
whose assets are substantially similar to those of the Administrator (hereafter
referred to herein as a "Comparable Customer').
If at anytime during the term of this Agreement, BISYS has entered into
contractual arrangements with a Comparable Customer pursuant to which more
favorable prices are offered than those that are offered to the Administrator,
then, effective immediately, BISYS shall offer the more favorable prices to the
Administrator and, upon acceptance of such offer by the Administrator, this
Agreement will be amended to effectuate such change. The Administrator, in its
sole discretion, may decline to accept any such offer. BISYS agrees to furnish
to the Administrator, at least annually, a written certification by a duly
authorized officer stating that BISYS has remained in compliance with the terms
and conditions of this Section.
ARTICLE 6. Term. This Agreement shall become effective as of the date
----
first written above (or, if a particular Fund is not in existence on the date,
on the date an amendment to Schedule A to this Agreement relating to that Fund
is executed) and shall continue until October 31, 2004 and thereafter shall be
renewed automatically for successive one-year terms unless written notice not to
renew is given by the non-renewing party to the other party at least 60 days
prior to the expiration of the then-current term; provided, however, that after
such termination for so long as BISYS, with the written consent of the
Administrator, in fact continues to perform any
one or more of the services contemplated by this Agreement or any schedule or
exhibit hereto, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force
and effect. This Agreement also will terminate upon the termination of the
Management and Administration Agreement, provided the Administrator promptly
notifies BISYS of such termination.
Either party to this Agreement may terminate this Agreement for cause
prior to the expiration of the then current term by providing the other party
with written notice of such termination at least 60 days prior to the date upon
which such termination shall become effective. For purposes of this Agreement,
"cause" shall mean (a) a material breach of this Agreement that has not been
remedied for thirty (30) days following written notice of such breach from the
non-breaching party; (b) a final, unappealable judicial, regulatory or
administrative ruling or order in which the party to be terminated has been
found guilty of criminal or unethical behavior in the conduct of its business;
or (c) financial difficulties on the part of the party to be terminated which
are evidenced by the authorization or commencement of, or involvement by way of
pleading, answer, consent or acquiescence in, a voluntary or involuntary case
under Title 11 of the United States Code, as from time to time is in effect, or
any applicable law, other than said Title 11, of any jurisdiction relating to
the liquidation or reorganization of debtors or to the modification or
alteration of the rights of creditors. On the termination date, BISYS shall be
paid compensation calculated through the earlier of: (i) the last date BISYS
performs services; or (ii) the termination date; provided, however, that BISYS
shall complete all services prior to the termination date.
If BISYS terminates this Agreement for "cause" or if this Agreement is
terminated for any reason other than: (i) mutual agreement of the parties; (ii)
for "cause" by the Administrator; (iii) nonrenewal of this Agreement; or (iv)
termination or nonrenewal of the Administration Agreement, provided such
termination or nonrenewal is not related to, or in connection with, a merger of
the Trust with another open-end management investment company, the Administrator
shall make a one-time cash payment, in consideration of the fee structure and
services to be provided under this Agreement and not as a penalty, to BISYS
equal to the balance due BISYS for the lesser of (A) the next six months or (B)
the remainder of the then-current term of the Agreement.
The parties further acknowledge and agree that, in the event that this
Agreement is terminated as set forth in the paragraph directly above, (i) a
determination of actual damages incurred by BISYS would be extremely difficult,
and (ii) the liquidated damages provision contained herein is intended to
adequately compensate BISYS for damages incurred and is not intended to
constitute any form of penalty.
ARTICLE 7. Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by either
----------
party without the written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be
binding upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the parties hereto and their
respective successors and permitted assigns.
ARTICLE 8. Amendments. No provision of this Agreement may be changed,
----------
waived, discharged or terminated, except by an instrument in writing signed by
the parties hereto.
ARTICLE 9. Certain Records. BISYS shall maintain customary records in
---------------
connection with its duties as specified in this Agreement. Any records required
to be maintained and
preserved pursuant to Rules 31a-1 and 31a-2 under the 1940 Act which are
prepared or maintained by BISYS on behalf of the Trust shall be prepared and
maintained at the expense of BISYS, but shall be the property of the Trust and
will be made available to or surrendered promptly to the Trust on request for
inspection by the Trust and/or the Securities and Exchange Commission.
BISYS agrees on behalf of itself and its employees to treat
confidentially and as the proprietary information of the Trust, all records and
other information relative to the Trust and prior, present or potential
shareholders, and not to use such records and information for any purpose other
than performance of its responsibilities and duties hereunder. In case of any
request or demand for the inspection of such records and information by another
party, BISYS shall notify the Administrator and follow the Administrator's
instructions as to permitting or refusing such inspection; provided that BISYS
may, after notice to the Administrator, exhibit such records and information to
any person in any case where it is advised by its counsel that it may be held
liable in civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to do so.
ARTICLE 10. Definitions of Certain Terms. The terms "interested person"
----------------------------
and "affiliated person," when used in this Agreement, shall have the respective
meanings specified in the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder,
subject to such exemptions as may be granted by the Commission.
ARTICLE 11. Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be given by
------
either party to the other shall be deemed sufficient if sent by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, addressed by the party giving notice to the
other party at the following address or by facsimile, when transmitted to the
facsimile number specified below (or such other facsimile number as any such
party may, by notice to the other party to this Agreement, have designated as
its facsimile number for such purpose), and confirmation of receipt by facsimile
