• Other Matters The SUB-ADVISER may from time to time employ or associate with itself any person or persons believed to be particularly fit to assist in its performance of services under this Agreement, provided no such person serves or acts as an investment adviser separate from the SUB-ADVISER so as to require a new written contract pursuant to the 1940 Act. The compensation of any such persons will be paid by the SUB-ADVISER, and no obligation will be incurred by, or on behalf of, VALIC or VC I with respect to them. The SUB-ADVISER agrees that all books and records which it maintains for the Covered Fund(s) are the property of both the SUB-ADVISER and the Covered Fund. The SUB-ADVISER also agrees upon request of VALIC or VC I, to promptly provide access to or copies of the books and records in accordance with the 1940 Act and rules thereunder, provided that VALIC reimburses the SUB-ADVISER for its reasonable expenses in making duplicate copies of such books and records. . The SUB-ADVISER further agrees to preserve for the periods prescribed by Rule 31a-2 under the 1940 Act the records required to be maintained by Rule 31a-1 under the 1940 Act. VALIC has herewith furnished the SUB-ADVISER copies of VC I's Prospectus, Statement of Additional Information, Articles and Bylaws, investment objectives, policies and restrictions, and any applicable procedures adopted by VC I's Board of Directors, as currently in effect and agrees during the continuance of this Agreement to furnish the SUB-ADVISER copies of any amendments or supplements thereto before or at the time the amendments or supplements become effective. Until VALIC delivers any amendments or supplements to the SUB-ADVISER, the SUB-ADVISER shall be fully protected in relying on the documents previously furnished to it. The SUB-ADVISER is authorized to honor and act on any notice, instruction or confirmation given by VALIC on behalf of the Covered Fund in writing signed or sent by any of the persons who the SUB-ADVISER has reason to believe are acting in good authority. The SUB-ADVISER shall not be liable for so acting in good faith upon such instructions, confirmation or authority. VALIC agrees to furnish the SUB-ADVISER at its principal office prior to use thereof, copies of all prospectuses, proxy statements, reports to shareholders, sales literature, or other material prepared for distribution to shareholders of the Covered Fund or the public that refer in any way to the SUB-ADVISER, and not to use such material if the SUB-ADVISER reasonably objects in writing within ten (10) business days (or such other time as may be mutually agreed) after receipt thereof. In the event of termination of this agreement, VALIC will continue to furnish to the SUB-ADVISER copies of any of the above-mentioned materials that refer in any way to the SUB-ADVISER and shall cease to use the SUB-ADVISER name and/or logo as soon as is reasonable. VALIC shall furnish or otherwise make available to the SUB-ADVISER such other information relating to the business affairs of VALIC and the Covered Fund as the SUB-ADVISER at any time, or from time to time, may reasonably request in order to discharge obligations hereunder. VALIC agrees to indemnify the SUB-ADVISER for losses, costs, fees, expenses and claims which arise directly or indirectly (i) as a result of a failure by VALIC to provide the services or furnish materials required under the terms of this Investment Sub-Advisory Agreement, or (ii) as the result of any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in any registration statements, proxy materials, reports, advertisements, sales literature, or other materials pertaining to the Covered Fund, except insofar as any such statement or omission was specifically made in reliance on written information provided by the SUB-ADVISER to VALIC. The SUB-ADVISER agrees to indemnify VALIC for losses and claims which arise (i) as a result of the willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of obligations or duties by the SUB-ADVISER; or (ii) as the result of any untrue statement of a material fact or any omission to state a material fact required to be stated or necessary to make the statements, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading in any registration statements, proxy materials, reports, advertisements, sales literature, or other materials pertaining to the Covered Fund to the extent any such statement or omission was made in reliance on written information provided by the SUB-ADVISER to VALIC. Promptly after receipt by either VALIC or SUB-ADVISER (an "Indemnified Party") under this Section 6 of the commencement of an action, such Indemnified Party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the other party (the "Indemnifying Party") under this section, notify Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify Indemnifying Party will not relieve it from any liability that it may have to any Indemnified Party otherwise than under this section. In case any such action is brought against any Indemnified Party, and it notified Indemnifying Party of the commencement thereof, Indemnifying Party will be entitled to participate therein and, to the extent that it may wish, assume the defense thereof, with counsel satisfactory to such Indemnified Party. After notice from Indemnifying Party of its intention to assume the defense of an action, the Indemnified Party shall bear the expenses of any additional counsel obtained by it, and Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to such Indemnified Party under this section for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation. A successor by law of the parties to this Agreement shall be entitled to the benefits of the indemnification contained herein. The indemnification provisions contained herein shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
