At the time of such filing, the Company met the requirements of Form F-3 under the Securities Act. Such registration statement meets the requirements set forth in Rule 415(a)(1)(x) under the Securities Act and complies with said Rule. The Company will file with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act, and the rules and regulations (the "Rules and Regulations") of the Commission promulgated thereunder, a supplement to the form of prospectus included in such registration statement relating to the placement of the Securities and the plan of distribution thereof and has advised the Placement Agent of all further information (financial and other) with respect to the Company required to be set forth therein. Such registration statement, including the exhibits thereto, as amended at the date of this Agreement, is hereinafter called the "Registration Statement"; such prospectus in the form in which it appears in the Registration Statement is hereinafter called the "Base Prospectus"; and the supplemented form of prospectus, in the form in which it will be filed with the Commission pursuant to Rule 424(b) (including the Base Prospectus as so supplemented) is hereinafter called the "Prospectus Supplement." Any reference in this Agreement to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the documents incorporated by reference therein (the "Incorporated Documents") pursuant to Item 6 of Form F-3 which were filed under the Exchange Act on or before the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be; and any reference in this Agreement to the terms "amend," "amendment" or "supplement" with respect to the Registration Statement, the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement shall be deemed to refer to and include the filing of any document under the Exchange Act after the date of this Agreement, or the issue date of the Base Prospectus or the Prospectus Supplement, as the case may be, deemed to be incorporated therein by reference.

Duties of the Investment Adviser A. The Investment Adviser shall continue to have responsibility for all services to be provided to the Fund pursuant to the Advisory Agreement and shall oversee and review the Sub-Adviser's performance of its duties and services under this Agreement. B. The Investment Adviser has furnished the Sub-Adviser with copies of each of the following documents and will furnish to the Sub-Adviser at its principal office all future amendments and supplements to such documents, if any, as soon as practicable after such documents become available: (1) The Transamerica IDEX Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, as each is in effect on the date hereof and as amended from time to time; (2) Certified resolutions of the Board authorizing the appointment of the Investment Adviser and the Sub-Adviser and approving this Agreement; (3) The Transamerica IDEX Registration Statement under the 1940 Act and the Securities Act of 1933, on Form N-1A, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") relating to the Fund and its shares and all amendments thereto ("Registration Statement"); and (4) A certified copy of any publicly available financial statement or report prepared for Transamerica IDEX by certified or independent public accountants, and copies of any financial statements or reports made by the Fund to its shareholders or to any governmental body or securities exchange.

C. During the term of this Agreement, the Investment Adviser shall furnish to the Sub-Adviser at its principal office all prospectuses, proxy statements, reports to shareholders, sales documentation, promotional, marketing, advertising and other written, printed or electronic material or performance information or data prepared for distribution to shareholders of the Fund or the public, which include the Xxxx or refer to the Fund, the Sub-Adviser or investment companies or other advisory accounts advised or sponsored by the Sub-Adviser in any way, prior to a use thereof which has not been previously approved by the Sub-Adviser. The Investment Adviser shall not use any such materials without the Sub-Adviser's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld; and the Investment Adviser shall not use any such materials which do not include the Xxxx if the Sub-Adviser reasonably objects in writing within ten (10) business days (or such other time as may be mutually agreed upon) after the Sub-Adviser's receipt thereof.
Actions of the Bank The Bank shall follow Instructions received regarding assets held in the Accounts. However, until it receives Instructions to the contrary, the Bank will: (a) Present for payment any Securities which are called, redeemed or retired or otherwise become payable and all coupons and other income items which call for payment upon presentation, to the extent that the Bank or Subcustodian is actually aware of such opportunities. (b) Execute in the name of the Customer such ownership and other certificates as may be required to obtain payments in respect of Securities. (c) Exchange interim receipts or temporary Securities for definitive Securities. (d) Appoint brokers and agents for any transaction involving the Securities, including, without limitation, affiliates of the Bank or any Subcustodian. (e) Issue statements to the Customer, at times mutually agreed upon, identifying the Assets in the Accounts. The Bank will send the Customer an advice or notification of any transfers of Assets to or from the Accounts. Such statements, advices or notifications shall indicate the identity of the entity having custody of the Assets. Unless the Customer sends the Bank a written exception or objection to any Bank statement within ninety (90) days of receipt, the Customer shall be deemed to have approved such statement. The Bank shall, to the extent permitted by law, be released, relieved and discharged with respect to all matters set forth in such statement or reasonably implied therefrom as though it had been settled by the decree of a court of competent jurisdiction in an action where the Customer and all persons having or claiming an interest in the Customer or the Customer’s Accounts were parties if: (a) the Customer has failed to provide a written exception or objection to any Bank statement within ninety (90) days of receipt and where the Customer’s failure to so provide a written exception or objection within such ninety (90) day period has limited the Bank's (i) access to the records, materials and other information required to investigate the Customer’s exception or objection, and (ii) ability to recover from third parties any amounts for which the Bank may become liable in connection with such exception or objection, or (b) where the Customer has otherwise explicitly approved any such statement. All collections of funds or other property paid or distributed in respect of Securities in the Custody Account shall be made at the risk of the Customer. The Bank shall have no liability for any loss occasioned by delay in the actual receipt of notice by the Bank or by its Subcustodians of any payment, redemption or other transaction regarding Securities in the Custody Account in respect of which the Bank has agreed to take any action under this Agreement.
