SHAREHOLDER SERVICING AGREEMENT
Gentlemen:
We wish to enter into this Shareholder Servicing Agreement
with you concerning the provision of support services to your clients and
customers ("Customers") who may from time to time beneficially own shares of our
shares of common stock ("Shares").
The terms and conditions of this Servicing Agreement are as
follows:
Section 1. (a) You agree to provide the following services to
Customers who may from time to time beneficially own Shares: (i) aggregating and
processing purchase and redemption requests for Shares from Customers and
placing net purchase and redemption orders with our distributor; (ii) processing
dividend payments from us on behalf of Customers; (iii) providing information
periodically to Customers showing their positions in Shares; (iv) arranging for
bank wires; (v) responding to Customer inquiries relating to the services
performed by you; (vi) providing subaccounting with respect to Shares
beneficially owned by Customers; (vii) as required by law, forwarding
shareholder communications from us (such as proxies, shareholder reports, annual
and semi-annual financial statements and dividend, distribution and tax notices)
to Customers; and (viii) providing such other similar services as we may
reasonably request to the extent you are permitted to do so under applicable
statutes, rules or regulations. You will provide to Customers a schedule of any
fees that you may charge directly to them for such services. Xxxxxx purchased by
you on behalf of Customers will be registered with our transfer agent in your
name or in the name of your nominee. The Customer will be the beneficial owner
of Shares purchased and held by you in accordance with the Customer's
instructions ("Customers' Shares") and the Customer may exercise all rights of a
shareholder of the Fund.
(b) You agree that you will (i) maintain all
records required by law relating to transactions in Shares and, upon our
request, promptly make such of these records available to us as we may
reasonably request in connection with our operations, and (ii) promptly notify
us if you experience any difficulty in maintaining the records described in the
foregoing clauses in an accurate and complete manner.
Section 2. You will provide such office space and equipment,
telephone facilities and personnel (which may be any part of the space,
equipment and facilities currently used in your business, or any personnel
employed by you) as may be reasonably necessary or beneficial in order to
provide the aforementioned services to Customers.
Section 3. Neither you nor any of your officers, employees,
agents or assigns are authorized to make any representations concerning us or
Shares except those contained in our then current prospectus for such Shares,
copies of which will be supplied by us to you, or in such supplemental
literature or advertising as may be authorized by us in writing.
Section 4. For all purposes of this Agreement you will be
deemed to be an independent contractor, and will have no authority to act as
agent for us in any matter or in any respect. You may, upon prior written notice
to us, delegate your responsibilities hereunder to another person or persons;
provided, however, that notwithstanding any such delegation, you will remain
responsible for the performance of all of your responsibilities under this
Agreement. By your written acceptance of this Agreement, you agree to and do
release, indemnify and hold us harmless from and against any and all direct or
indirect liabilities or losses resulting from requests, directions, actions or
inactions of or by you or your officers, employees, agents or assigns regarding
your responsibilities hereunder or the purchase, redemption, transfer or
registration of Shares by or on behalf of Customers. You and your employees
will, upon request, be available during normal business hours to consult with us
or our designees concerning the performance of your responsibilities under this
Agreement.
Section 5. In consideration of the services and facilities
provided by you hereunder, we will cause our distributor pay to you, and you
will accept as full payment therefor, a fee at the annual rate of ___ of 1% of
the average daily net asset value of the Customers' Shares held of record by you
from time to time, which fee will be computed daily and payable ______. For
purposes of determining the fees payable under this Section 5, the average daily
net asset value of the Customers' Shares will be computed in the manner
specified in our registration statement (as the same is in effect from time to
time) in connection with the computation of the net asset value of Shares for
purposes of purchases and redemptions. The fee rate stated above may be
prospectively increased or decreased by us or by our distributor, at any time
upon notice to you. Further, we may, in our discretion and without notice,
suspend or withdraw the sale of Shares, including the sale of such shares to you
for the account of any Customer or Customers.
Section 6. You will furnish us or our designees with such
information relating to your performance under this Agreement as we or they may
reasonably request (including, without limitation, periodic certifications
confirming the provision to Customers of the services described herein), and
shall otherwise cooperate with us and our designees (including, without
limitation, any auditors designated by us), in connection with the preparation
of reports to our Board of Directors concerning this Agreement and the monies
paid or payable by us pursuant hereto, as well as any other reports or filings
that may be required by law.
Section 7. We may enter into other similar services agreements
with any other person or persons without your consent.
Section 8. This Agreement will become effective on the date a
fully executed copy of this Agreement is received by us or our distributor, and
is terminable, without penalty, at any time by us or by you upon ten days'
notice to the other party hereto and shall automatically terminate in the event
of its assignment, as that term is defined in the Investment Company Act of
1940, as amended.
Section 9. This Agreement will be construed in accordance with
the laws of the State of Maryland.
