Terms and Termination (a) Either party may terminate this Agreement without cause on or after July 31, 2002 by giving 180 days written notice to the other party;
(b) Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party has materially breached the Agreement by giving the defaulting party 30 days written notice and the defaulting party has failed to cure the breach within 60 days thereafter; and
(c) Any written notice of termination shall specify the date of termination. The Fund shall provide notice of the successor transfer agent within 30 days of the termination date. Upon termination, FDISG will deliver to such successor a certified list of shareholders of the Fund (with names, addresses and taxpayer identification of Social Security numbers and such other federal tax information as FDISG may be required to maintain), an historical record of the account of each shareholder and the status thereof, and all other relevant books, records, correspondence, and other data established or maintained by the books, records, correspondence, and other data established or maintained by FDISG under this Agreement in the form reasonably acceptable to the Fund, and will cooperate in the transfer of such duties and responsibilities, including provisions for assistance from FDISG's personnel in the establishment of books, records and other data by such successor or successors. FDISG shall be entitled to its out-of-pocket expenses set forth in Schedule C incurred in the delivery of such records net of the fees owed to FDISG for the last month of service if this Agreement is terminated pursuant to paragraph (b) immediately above.
(d) If a majority of the non-interested trustees of any of the Funds determines, in the exercise of their fiduciary duties and pursuant to their reasonable business judgement after consultation with Eaton Vance Management, that the perxxxxxxxx xf FDISG has been unsatisfactory or adverse to the interests of shareholders of any Fund or Funds or that the terms of the Agreement are no longer consistent with publicly available industry standards, then the Fund or Funds shall give written notice to FDISG of such determination and FDISG shall have 60 days (or such longer period if the non-interested Trustees so determine) to (1) correct such performance to the satisfaction of the non-interested trustees or (2) renegotiate terms which are satisfactory to the non-interested trustees of the Funds. If the conditions of the preceding sentence are not met then the Fund or Funds may terminate this Agreement on sixty (60) days written notice provided, however, that the provisions of Paragraph 11(c) shall remain outstanding for an additional 30 days if necessary to transfer records to a successor transfer agent.
(e) If the Board of Trustees hereafter establishes and designates a new Fund, FDISG agrees that it will act as transfer agent and shareholder servicing agent for such new Fund in accordance with the terms set forth herein. The Trustees shall cause a written notice to be sent to FDISG to the effect that it has established a new Fund and that it appoints FDISG as transfer agent and shareholder servicing agent for the new Fund. Such written notice must be received by FDISG in a reasonable period of time prior to the commencement of operations of the new Fund to allow FDISG, in the ordinary course of its business, to prepare to perform its duties.
