TERM, TERMINATION AND AMENDMENT (a) This Agreement shall become effective on the date of its execution and shall remain in full force and effect until March 31, 2008 (the “Initial Term”) and shall automatically continue in full force and effect after the Initial Term on an annual basis thereafter unless the Administrators terminate or the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent terminates this Agreement by written notice to the Administrators or the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent, as applicable, at least three hundred and sixty-five (365) days prior to the expiration of the Initial Term or any annual term thereafter. If this Agreement is terminated by either party as provided in the immediately preceding sentence, the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent shall, at the request of the Administrators, continue to provide services hereunder for a period (the “Extension Period”) of one hundred and eighty (180) days after the date of termination under the immediately preceding sentence and the compensation payable to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent for such Extension Period shall be (i) if this Agreement is terminated under the first sentence of this Section 15(a) by the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent, the compensation described on Schedule D attached hereto as in effect on the date of the commencement of the Extension Period, or (ii) if this Agreement is terminated under the first sentence of this Section 15(a) by the Administrators, one hundred and twenty-five percent (125%) of the compensation described on Schedule D attached hereto as in effect on the date of the commencement of the Extension Period for the duration of such Extension Period. (b) Notwithstanding the provisions of clause (a) herein, and subject to the provisions of clause (c) herein, within thirty (30) days of each Constructive Termination Date (as defined herein) the Administrators shall pay to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent a fee (a “Termination Fee”) which is equal to 25% of the aggregate amount of fees which would have been payable to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent under this Agreement with respect to the Terminated Funds, calculated in accordance with the Schedule D in effect on such Constructive Termination Date (as defined herein) but based on, in the case of the calculation of the sub-administration fees, the average assets of the Fund during the sixty (60) day period preceding its termination as a Fund hereunder, and for the greater of (A) three (3) years from such Constructive Termination Date or (B) the remainder of the Initial Term of this Agreement. For purposes of this Section 15, (i) a “Terminated Fund” is a Fund (A) to which an Administrator no longer furnishes administrative and/or fund accounting services as a result of the termination, expiration or non-renewal of the applicable administration, advisory or other service agreement by and between such Fund and the Administrator (an “Administration Agreement*), and the provision of services by the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent to any Administrator (or its affiliates) under this Agreement with respect to each such Fund is then eliminated or terminated; (B) that has not entered into a State Street Agreement as set forth in clause (c) below; and (C) with respect to which a Termination Fee has not been paid, and (ii) a “Constructive Termination Date” will occur (A) when the aggregate number of Terminated Funds since the date hereof equals 15% or more of the sum of (y) the aggregate number of Funds listed on Schedule A on the date hereof plus (z) the number of Funds added to Schedule A from time to time prior to such Constructive Termination Date and (B) thereafter, each time when the aggregate number of Terminated Funds since the last Constructive Termination Date equals 15% or more of the sum of (y) the aggregate number of Funds listed on Schedule A on the most recent Constructive Termination Date plus (z) the number of Funds added to Schedule A from time to time prior to the next Constructive Termination Date. (c) If, prior to the expiration of the Initial Term and on or before the thirtieth (30/th/) day after the most recent Constructive Termination Date, the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent is directly appointed by any Terminated Fund to perform such administrative and accounting services directly to such Fund pursuant to an agreement with substantially similar terms as this Agreement (the “State Street Agreement”), a term equal to or greater than the remaining portion of the Initial Term of this Agreement, and with a Fee Schedule comparable to the Fee Schedule currently in effect under this Agreement and attached as Schedule D with respect to the sub-administration services listed on Schedule X-x attached hereto and the sub-accounting services listed on Schedule B-3 attached hereto, then the Administrators shall not be required to include such Terminated Fund in the calculation of the Termination Fee then payable. Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (c), however, in the event that the State Street Agreement is terminated by any Fund for any reason other than cause (such as the negligence or willful misconduct of the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent, its officers or employees) prior to March 31, 2008 (the expiration of the Initial Term under this Agreement), the Administrators shall pay to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent, within thirty (30) days of such termination, a Termination Fee which is equal to 25% of the fees that would have been payable to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent under this Agreement with respect to the relevant Terminated Fund, calculated in accordance with the Schedule D as in effect on the last day that such Terminated Fund was listed on Schedule A to this Agreement (but based on, in the case of the calculation of the sub-administration fees, the average assets of the fund during the sixty (60) day period prior to the termination), and for the remainder of the Initial Term of this Agreement. The amount of the termination fee, if any, payable and actually paid by such Terminated Fund to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent in connection with the termination of, and as described in, the State Street Agreement shall reduce any fee payable by the Administrators under this subsection (c). (d) The portion of any Termination Fee payable with respect to a Terminated Fund under subsection (b) and the Termination Fee payable with respect to a Terminated Fund under subsection (c) hereof shall be reduced by 40% in the event that the Terminated Fund is or becomes, on or before the date that such Termination Fee is due, a part of any fund family not listed on Schedule A attached hereto, and for which the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent provides sub-administrative and sub-acconting services. (e) Termination of this Agreement with respect to a Fund shall in no way affect the continued validity of this Agreement with respect to any other Fund. Upon termination of this Agreement with respect to a Fund, and subject to the provisions of Section 7.2, Schedule A shall be amended to reflect the Funds subject to the terms of this Agreement. (f) Notwithstanding clause (d), the Administrators may terminate this Agreement (i) upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent that the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent is in breach of this Agreement, and the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent within such period fails to cure such breach, (ii) upon intervention of bankruptcy or receivership with respect to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent, or (iii) upon the execution by the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent of any assignment for the benefit of creditors. Any such termination shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any rights the Administrators may have at law or in equity against the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent. (g) Upon termination of this Agreement, the Administrators shall pay to the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent such compensation and any reimbursable expenses as may be due under the terms hereof as of the date of such termination. (h) If a successor sub-administrator/accounting agent or administrator or accounting agent for any Fund shall be appointed by any Administrator or by a Fund, respectively, the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent stall upon termination of this Agreement with respect to that Fund use commercially reasonable efforts to transfer the records of such Fund to the designated successor sub-administrator/accounting agent or administrator or accounting agent for that Fund, as appropriate, to provide reasonable assistance to the applicable Administrator and that Fund’s designated successor sub-administrator/accounting agent or administrator or accounting agent, and to provide other information relating to its services provided hereunder (subject, in each case, to the recompense of the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent for such assistance at its standard rates and fees in effect at the time of such transfer). If no such successor sub-administrator/accounting agent or administrator or accounting agent shall be appointed for a Fund, the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent shall, upon receipt of Proper Instructions on or before the termination of this Agreement for such Fund, deliver such Fund’s property in accordance with such instructions. If no successor sub-administrator/accounting agent or administrator or accounting agent shall be appointed for a Fund and no Proper Instructions have been received, in each case, on or before the termination of this Agreement for such Fund, the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent shall upon such termination deliver to the Administrator of such Fund (or its successor), at the office of the Sub-Administrator/Accounting Agent, all property of such Fund. (i) This Agreement may be modified or amended from time to time by mutual written agreement of all parties hereto.
