Modification and Termination No agreement to modify, amend, extend, supersede, terminate, or discharge this Settlement Agreement, or any portion thereof, is valid or enforceable unless it is in writing and signed by all Parties to this Settlement Agreement.
Duration and Termination of the Agreement This Agreement shall become effective upon its execution; provided, however, that this Agreement shall not become effective with respect to any Portfolio now existing or hereafter created unless it has first been approved (a) by a vote of the Independent Trustees, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval, and (b) if required under the 1940 Act, by an affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding voting shares of that Portfolio. This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect continuously thereafter without the payment of any penalty as follows:
(a) By vote of a majority of the (i) Independent Trustees, or (ii) outstanding voting shares of the applicable Portfolios, the Trust may at any time terminate this Agreement with respect to any or all Portfolios by providing not more than 60 days’ written notice delivered or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Manager and the Subadviser.
(b) This Agreement will terminate automatically with respect to a Portfolio unless, within two years after its initial effectiveness with respect to such Portfolio and at least annually thereafter, the continuance of the Agreement is specifically approved by (i) the Board of Trustees or the shareholders of such Portfolio by the affirmative vote of a majority of the outstanding shares of such Portfolio, and (ii) a majority of the Independent Trustees, by vote cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. If the continuance of this Agreement is submitted to the shareholders of any Portfolio for their approval and such shareholders fail to approve such continuance as provided herein, the Subadviser may continue to serve hereunder in a manner consistent with the 1940 Act and the rules and regulations thereunder.
(c) The Manager may at any time terminate this Agreement with respect to any or all Portfolios by not less than 60 days’ written notice delivered or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Subadviser, and the Subadviser may at any time terminate this Agreement with respect to any or all Portfolios by not less than 90 days’ written notice delivered or mailed by registered mail, postage prepaid, to the Manager.
(d) This Agreement automatically and immediately will terminate in the event of its assignment. Upon termination of this Agreement with respect to any Portfolio, the duties of the Manager delegated to the Subadviser under this Agreement with respect to such Portfolio automatically shall revert to the Manager.
TERM, MODIFICATION AND TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT This Agreement with respect to the Fund shall continue in effect until the expiration date set forth on Schedule A (the “Expiration Date”). With regard to the Operating Expense Limits, the Trust’s Board of Trustees and the Adviser may terminate or modify this Agreement prior to the Expiration Date only by mutual written consent. This Agreement shall terminate automatically upon the termination of the Advisory Agreement; provided, however, that the obligation of the Trust to reimburse the Adviser with respect to a Fund shall survive the termination of this Agreement unless the Trust and the Adviser agree otherwise.
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.
Duration and Termination of Agreement This Agreement shall become effective with respect to each Portfolio on the later of (i) its execution and (ii) the date of the meeting of the Board of Trustees of the Trust, at which meeting this Agreement is approved as described below. The Agreement will continue in effect for a period more than two years from the date of its execution only so long as such continuance is specifically approved at least annually either by the Trustees of the Trust or by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of each of the Portfolios, provided that in either event such continuance shall also be approved by the vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not interested persons (as defined in the Investment Company Act) of any party to this Agreement cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such approval. Any required shareholder approval of the Agreement or of any continuance of the Agreement shall be effective with respect to any Portfolio if a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the series (as defined in Rule 18f-2(h) under the Investment Company Act) of shares of that Portfolio votes to approve the Agreement or its continuance, notwithstanding that the Agreement or its continuance may not have been approved by a majority of the outstanding voting securities of (a) any other Portfolio affected by the Agreement or (b) all the portfolios of the Trust. If any required shareholder approval of this Agreement or any continuance of the Agreement is not obtained, the Subadviser will continue to act as investment subadviser with respect to such Portfolio pending the required approval of the Agreement or its continuance or of a new contract with the Subadviser or a different adviser or subadviser or other definitive action; provided, that the compensation received by the Subadviser in respect of such Portfolio during such period is in compliance with Rule 15a-4 under the Investment Company Act. This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the Trustees of the Trust, by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Trust, or with respect to any Portfolio by the vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of such Portfolio, on sixty days' written notice to the Adviser and the Subadviser, or by the Adviser or Subadviser on sixty days' written notice to the Trust and the other party. This Agreement will automatically terminate, without the payment of any penalty, in the event of its assignment (as defined in the Investment Company Act) or in the event the Advisory Agreement between the Adviser and the Trust terminates for any reason.
