Employment of Administrator The Company hereby employs the Administrator to act as administrator of the Company, and to furnish, or arrange for others to furnish, the administrative services, personnel and facilities described below, subject to review by and the overall control of the Board of Directors of the Company (the “Board”), for the period and on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. The Administrator hereby accepts such employment and agrees during such period to render, or arrange for the rendering of, such services and to assume the obligations herein set forth subject to the reimbursement of costs and expenses provided for below. The Administrator and such others shall for all purposes herein be deemed to be independent contractors and shall, unless otherwise expressly provided or authorized herein, have no authority to act for or represent the Company in any way or otherwise be deemed agents of the Company.
Designation of Agent Each Participating Employer shall be deemed to be a party to this Plan; provided, however, that with respect to all of its relations with the Trustee and Administrator for the purpose of this Plan, each Participating Employer shall be deemed to have designated irrevocably the Employer as its agent. Unless the context of the Plan clearly indicates the contrary, the word "Employer" shall be deemed to include each Participating Employer as related to its adoption of the Plan.
Responsibilities of Adviser In carrying out its obligations under this Agreement, the Adviser agrees that it will:
(a) Comply with all applicable law, including but not limited to the 1940 Act and the Advisers Act, the rules and regulations of the Commission thereunder, and the conditions of any order affecting the Trust or a Fund issued thereunder;
(b) Use the same skill and care in providing such services as it uses in providing services to other fiduciary accounts for which it has investment responsibilities;
(c) Not make loans to any person for the purpose of purchasing or carrying Fund shares;
(d) Place, or arrange for the placement of, all orders pursuant to its investment determinations for the Funds either directly with the issuer or with any broker or dealer (including any affiliated broker or dealer). In executing portfolio transactions and selecting brokers or dealers, the Adviser will use its best efforts to seek on behalf of each Fund the best overall terms available. In assessing the best overall terms available for any transaction, the Adviser shall consider all factors that it deems relevant, including the breadth of the market in the security, the price of the security, the financial condition and execution capability of the broker or dealer, and the reasonableness of the commission, if any, both for the specific transaction and on a continuing basis. In evaluating the best overall terms available, and in selecting the broker or dealer to execute a particular transaction, the Adviser may also consider whether such broker or dealer furnishes research and other information or services to the Adviser;
(e) Adhere to the investment objective, strategies and policies and procedures of the Trust adopted on behalf of each Fund; and
(f) Maintain a policy and practice of conducting its investment advisory services hereunder independently of the commercial banking operations of its affiliates. In making investment recommendations for a Fund, the Adviser's investment advisory personnel will not inquire or take into consideration whether the issuers (or related supporting institutions) of securities proposed for purchase or sale for the Fund's account are customers of the commercial departments of its affiliates. In dealing with commercial customers, such commercial departments will not inquire or take into consideration whether securities of those customers are held by the Fund.
