Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement:

4. In the event either party is unable to perform its obligations under the terms of this Agreement because of acts of God, strikes or other causes reasonably beyond its control, such party shall not be liable to the other party for any loss, cost, damage, claims, actions or expense resulting from such failure to perform or otherwise from such causes.

a. A copy of the resolution of the Directors of the Fund authorizing the appointment of RPS and the execution and delivery of this Agreement;
b. A copy of the Articles of Incorporation and By-Laws of the Fund and all amendments thereto;

The delivery of any such document to either party hereto for the purpose of any other agreement to which the Fund and RPS are or were parties shall be deemed to be delivery for the purposes of this Agreement.
2. RPS hereby agrees to establish and maintain facilities and procedures reasonably acceptable to the Fund for safekeeping of Fund check forms and facsimile signature imprinting devices, if any, and for the preparation or use, and for keeping account of, such forms and devices.
I. Recordkeeping/Confidentiality
1. RPS shall keep records relating to the Services to be performed hereunder, in the form and manner as it may deem advisable, provided that RPS shall keep all records in such form and in such manner as required by applicable law.
2. RPS and the Fund agree that all books, records, information and data pertaining to the business of the other party which are exchanged or received pursuant to the negotiation or the carrying out of this Agreement shall remain confidential, and shall not be voluntarily disclosed to any other person, except: (a) after prior notification to and approval in writing by the other party hereto (or the plan, if required), which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld and may not be withheld where RPS or the Fund may be exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to comply; (b) when requested to divulge such information by duly constituted governmental authorities; or (c) after so requested by the other party hereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing shall prohibit RPS from providing information concerning Fund shares, transactions or fees or Services performed under this agreement to a Plan or Participant without such notification or approval.
Without limiting the foregoing, RPS has implemented, and will maintain during the term of this Agreement, reasonable measures designed to (i) ensure the security and confidentiality of identifying information concerning Plans and Plan Participants, (ii) use such information to provide the Services hereunder or as authorized by the Plans or Plan Participants, (iii) protect against any anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of such information, (iv) protect against unauthorized access to or use of such information that could result in substantial harm or inconvenience to the subject of such information, and (v) ensure appropriate disposal of such information, to the extent such information is being disposed of by RPS.
J. Compliance with Governmental Rules and Regulations
Except as otherwise provided in the Agreement and except for the accuracy of information furnished to the Fund by RPS, each Fund assumes full responsibility for the preparation, contents and distribution of its prospectuses and compliance with all applicable requirements of the ’40 Act, the ‘34 Act, the ‘33 Act, and any other laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over the Fund. RPS shall be responsible for complying with all laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction over transfer agents and their activities, as applicable, and cooperating with respect to examinations and requests from such governmental authorities.
K. Ownership of Material Used by RPS
All hardware, software, data stores, written procedures, intellectual capital and similar items used by RPS in performance of the Agreement shall, as between the Fund and RPS, be the property of RPS and will not become the property of the Fund.
L. Quality Service Standards
RPS and the Fund may from time to time agree to certain quality service standards, as well as incentives and penalties with respect to RPS’s Services hereunder.
M. As Of Transactions
For purposes of this Article K, the term “As Of Transaction” shall mean any single or “related transaction” (as defined below) involving the purchase or redemption of shares (including exchanges) processed at a time other than the time of the computation of the Fund’s net asset value per share next computed after receipt of any such transaction order by RPS due to an act or omission of RPS. “As Of Processing” refers to the processing of these Transactions.
All As Of Processing may only be performed in accordance with the requirements of Rule 22c-1 of the ’40 Act. RPS is responsible for monitoring As Of Transactions procedures that set forth the circumstances under which As Of Transactions are permitted. If more than one As Of Transaction (“Related As Of Transaction”) in the Fund is caused by or occurs as a result of the same act or omission, such transactions shall be aggregated with other transactions in the Fund and be considered as one As Of Transaction.
1. Reporting
RPS shall:
a. Have procedures in place to identify all As Of Transactions, and compute the net effect of such As Of Transactions upon the Fund on a daily, monthly and rolling 365 day basis. The monthly and rolling 365 day periods are hereinafter referred to as “Cumulative.”
b. Supply to the Fund, from time to time as mutually agreed upon, a report summarizing the As Of Transactions and the daily and Cumulative net effects of such As Of Transactions both in terms of aggregate dilution/loss (“Loss”) or gain (“Gain”) experienced by the Fund, and the impact such Gain or Loss has had upon the Fund’s net asset value per share.
c. With respect to any As Of Transaction which causes a Loss to the Fund of $100,000 or more (unless RPS fully compensates the Fund for the Loss), RPS will provide the Fund: (i) a report identifying the As Of Transaction and the Dilution resulting therefrom, (ii) the reason such As Of Transaction was processed as described above, and (iii) the action that RPS has or intends to take to prevent the reoccurrence of such As Of Processing.
2. Liability
a. It will be the normal practice of the Fund not to hold RPS liable with respect to any As Of Transaction which causes a Loss to any single Fund of less than $25,000. RPS will, however, closely monitor for each Fund the daily and Cumulative Gain/Loss that is caused by As Of Transactions of less than $25,000. When the Cumulative Loss to any Fund exceeds 3/10 of 1% of net asset value per share, RPS, in consultation with counsel to the Fund, will make appropriate inquiry to determine whether it should take any remedial action. RPS will report to the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund (“Board”), as appropriate, any action it has taken.
b. Where an As Of Transaction causes a Loss to a Fund equal to or greater than $25,000 (“Significant As Of Transaction”) but less than $100,000, if RPS does not reimburse the Fund for the Loss, RPS will review with Counsel to the Fund the circumstances surrounding the underlying Significant As Of Transaction to determine whether the Significant As Of Transaction was caused by or occurred as a result of a negligent act or omission by RPS. If it is determined that the Loss is the result of a negligent action or omission by RPS, RPS and outside counsel for the Fund will negotiate settlement. Significant As Of Transactions causing a Loss to the Fund that are not reimbursed by RPS will be reported to the Audit Committee at least annually. Any Significant As Of Transaction, however, causing a Loss in excess of the lesser of $100,000 or a xxxxx per share that are not reimbursed by RPS will be reported to the Board as soon as reasonably practicable. Settlement for
Significant As Of Transactions causing a Loss of $100,000 or more will not be entered into until approved by the Board. For Related As Of Transactions involving Funds with more than one class, the amount of Gain or Loss resulting from an As Of Transaction shall be determined for each class; provided, however, that for purposes of determining RPS’s liability for reimbursement of any Loss to a class, Gains in one class may be used to offset Losses in another class of the same Fund. Any net Gains remaining after offsetting a Loss in one or more classes, as well as aggregate Gains from a Significant As Of Transaction causing a Gain of a xxxxx or more per share in a class, will be allocated ratably to all of the classes in the affected Fund. The Fund may also absorb Gains or Losses resulting from adjustments to transactions caused by a pricing error in a Fund or outside fund (when RPS corrects the number of shares in the Fund based on the Fund’s or outside fund’s corrected NAV). RPS (or outside fund) will reimburse the Fund for Losses over $100 for any Losses caused by adjustments resulting from a pricing error of an outside fund.
The factors to consider in making any determination regarding the settlement of a Significant As Of Transaction would include but not be limited to:
i. Procedures and controls adopted by RPS to prevent As Of Processing;
ii. Whether such procedures and controls were being followed at the time of the Significant As Of Transaction;
iii. The volume of all transactions processed by RPS on the day of the Significant As Of Transaction;
iv. The number of As Of Transactions processed by RPS during prior relevant periods, and the net Loss/Gain as a result of all such Significant As Of Transactions to the Fund and to all other Funds; and
v. The prior response of RPS to recommendations made by the Funds regarding improvement to RPS’ As Of Processing procedures.
c. Notwithstanding the above, RPS may require its service providers to reimburse the Funds for losses of amounts less than the thresholds identified above.
X. Xxxx and Termination of Agreement
1. This Agreement shall run for a period of one (1) year from the date first written above and will be renewed from year to year thereafter unless terminated by either party as provided hereunder.
2. This Agreement may be terminated by the Funds upon one hundred twenty (120) days’ prior written notice to RPS; and by RPS, upon three hundred sixty-five (365) days’ prior written notice to the Fund unless a shorter termination period is mutually agreed upon by the parties.
3. Upon termination hereof, the Fund shall pay to RPS such compensation as may be due as of the date of such termination, and shall likewise reimburse RPS for out-of-pocket expenses related to its Services hereunder.
O. Notice
Any notice as required by this Agreement shall be sufficiently given (i) when sent to an authorized person of the other party at the address of such party set forth above or at such other address as such party may from time to time specify in writing to the other party; or (ii) as otherwise agreed upon by appropriate officers of the parties hereto.
P. Assignment
Neither this Agreement nor any rights or obligations hereunder may be assigned either voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, by either party without the prior written consent of the other party, provided this shall not preclude RPS from employing such affiliates or service providers as it deems appropriate to carry out its obligations set forth hereunder.
Q. Amendment/Interpretive Provisions
The parties by mutual written agreement may amend this Agreement at any time. In addition, in connection with the operation of this Agreement, RPS and the Fund may agree from time to time on such provisions interpretive of or in addition to the provisions of this Agreement as in their joint opinion may be consistent with the general tenor of this Agreement. Any such interpretive or additional provisions are to be signed by all parties and annexed hereto, but no such provision shall contravene any applicable federal or state law or regulation and no such interpretive or additional provision shall be deemed to be an amendment of this Agreement.
R. Further Assurances
Each party agrees to perform such further acts and execute such further documents as are necessary to effectuate the purposes hereof.
S. Maryland Law to Apply
This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions thereof interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of Maryland.
X. Xxxxxx of Agreement
This Agreement, including the attached Schedule, supersedes any prior agreement with respect to the subject hereof, whether oral or written.
U. Counterparts
This Agreement may be executed by the parties hereto in any number of counterparts, and all of said counterparts taken together shall be deemed to constitute one and the same instrument.
V. The Parties
All references herein to “the Fund” are to each of the Funds listed on Appendix A individually, as if this Agreement were between such individual Fund and RPS. In the case of a series Fund or Fund with separate classes, all references to “the Fund” are to the individual series or class of such Fund or trust, or to such Fund or trust on behalf of the individual series or class, as appropriate. The “Fund” also includes any X. Xxxx Price Fund which may be established after the date of this Agreement. Any reference in this Agreement to “the parties” shall mean RPS and such other individual Fund as to which the matter pertains.
