ADMINISTRATION AGREEMENT
(h)(5)
This AGREEMENT made this January 1, 2015 between each of the registered investment companies (each a “Fund” and collectively, the “Funds”), on behalf of each series thereof (each a “Series”) set forth on Schedule A hereto, as such schedule may be amended from time to time to add additional Funds or Series, and Voya Funds Services, LLC (the “Administrator”), a Delaware limited liability company.
WHEREAS, the Fund is either an open-end or closed-end investment management company registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”);
WHEREAS, the Fund desires to avail itself of the services of the Administrator for the provision of administrative services for the Fund; and
WHEREAS, the Administrator is willing to render such services to the Fund.
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises, the promises and mutual covenants herein contained, it is agreed between the parties as follows:
1. Appointment. The Fund hereby appoints the Administrator, subject to the direction of the Board of Directors/Trustees, for the period and on the terms set forth in this Agreement, to provide administrative services, as described herein, with respect to the Fund. The Administrator accepts such appointment and agrees to render the services set forth herein.
2. Services of the Administrator. Subject to the general supervision of the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Funds, the Administrator shall provide all administrative services reasonably necessary for the ordinary operation of each Fund as of the date first above written (“Administrative Services”). Provided, however, that Administrative Services shall not include the services identified on Schedule B and, therefore, such services shall be deemed to be outside of the scope of this Agreement.
3. Conformity with Applicable Law. The Administrator, in the performance of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, shall act in conformity with the Registration Statement of the Fund and with the instructions and directions of the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund and will conform to, and comply with, the requirements of the 1940 Act and all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations.
4. Exclusivity. The services of the Administrator to the Fund under this Agreement are not to be deemed exclusive, and the Administrator, or any affiliate thereof, shall be free to render similar services to other investment companies and other clients (whether or not their investment objectives and policies are similar to those of the Fund) and to engage in other activities, so long as its services hereunder are not impaired thereby.
5. Allocation and Delegation of Responsibilities. The Administrative Services may be furnished by any directors, officers or employees of the Administrator or of affiliates of the Administrator. The Administrator may, at the expense of the Administrator, retain the services of a third party as its delegate, under the Administrator’s supervision, to provide in its stead any
Administrative Service; provided, however, that any such delegation to a third party shall be subject to the approval of Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees. The Administrator shall remain liable to the Fund for any service delegated to a third party pursuant to Section 5 to the same extent as if the Administrator provided the services itself.
6. Expenses. During the term of this Agreement, the Administrator will be responsible for paying the expenses incurred by it in connection with its activities under this Agreement described on Schedule C attached hereto, as it may be revised from time to time to account for changes in the vendors paid.
7. Compensation.
(a) For the services provided by the Administrator pursuant to this Agreement, the Fund will pay to the Administrator the annual fee set forth in Schedule D hereto.
(b) The administration fee shall be accrued daily by the Fund and paid to the Administrator at the end of each calendar month.
8. Liability of the Administrator.
(a) General. The Administrator may rely on information reasonably believed by it to be accurate and reliable. Except as may otherwise be required by the 1940 Act or the rules thereunder, neither the Administrator nor its stockholders, officers, directors/trustees employees, or agents shall be subject to any liability for, or any damages, expenses, or losses incurred in connection with, any act or omission connected with or arising out of any services rendered under this Agreement, except by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of the Administrator’s duties, or by reason of reckless disregard of the Administrator’s obligations and duties under this Agreement. The liability incurred by the Administrator pursuant to this paragraph 8(a) in any year shall be limited to the revenues of the Administrator derived from the Fund in that fiscal year of the Fund. The Administrator shall look solely to Fund property for satisfaction of claims of any nature against the Fund or a director, officer, employee or agent of the Fund individually arising in connection with the affairs of the Fund.
(b) Fund Disclosures.
(i) The Administrator shall be responsible for preparing the Fund’s registration statements and supplements to the Fund’s prospectuses and statements of additional information (“Disclosure Documents”), and for filing or arranging for the filing of such Disclosure Documents with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and other federal and state regulatory authorities as may be required by applicable law.
(ii) Notwithstanding anything in Section 8 or elsewhere in this Agreement, the Administrator shall exercise reasonable care consistent with a fiduciary duty in fulfilling its responsibilities under Section 8(b)(i) of this Agreement.
(iii) In the event of a claim, litigation, liability, or a regulatory action or investigation (collectively, a “Disclosure Claim”) that arises out of or is based upon the disclosure in a Disclosure Document for the Fund (including, but not limited to, a claim arising from an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement in a registration statement for the Fund or an omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make statements made in a registration statement not misleading), the Administrator shall indemnify and hold harmless the Fund and each individual who, during the term of this Agreement, serves or had served as a Director/Trustee of the Fund who is not an “interested person” of the Fund, as such term is defined in the 1940 Act (an “Independent Director/Trustee”), if such Disclosure Claim arises from the Administrator’s failure or alleged failure to exercise reasonable care consistent with a fiduciary duty in the preparation or filing of the Fund’s Disclosure Documents for the loss, costs, or damages, including amounts paid in settlement with the written consent of the Administrator, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, and including reasonable legal and other expenses, that arise from such Disclosure Claim.
(iv) In addition to the indemnification provided in Section 8(b)(iii) of this Agreement, the Administrator agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the Independent Directors/Trustees for the costs of defense of a Disclosure Claim, including reasonable attorney’s fees, regardless of whether such Disclosure Claim arises from the Administrator’s failure or alleged failure to exercise reasonable care consistent with a fiduciary duty in the preparation of the Fund’s Disclosure Documents, subject to the Administrator’s right to assume the defense of such Disclosure Claim pursuant to Section 8(b)(ix) of this Agreement.
(v) The parties expressly acknowledge that this Section 8(b) confers rights and remedies upon the Fund and each Independent Director/Trustee, including the right to enforce the indemnification provided for in Sections 8(b)(iii) and 8(b)(iv) of this Agreement. The obligation of the Administrator to provide indemnification to the Fund and the Independent Directors/Trustees, as set forth in this Section 8(b), shall remain in effect after the termination of this Agreement.
(vi) The indemnification of the Fund provided for in Section 8(b)(iii) of this Agreement shall apply only to the extent that any loss to the Fund is not covered by insurance held by the Fund, and shall not apply if: (A) the disclosure giving rise to the Disclosure Claim was provided by or on behalf of an Independent Director/Trustee for inclusion in the Fund’s Disclosure Documents; or (B) indemnification is not allowed under applicable law.
(vii) The indemnification of an Independent Director/Trustee provided in Sections 8(b)(iii) and 8(b)(iv) of this Agreement shall apply only to the extent that any loss to the Independent Director/Trustee is not covered by insurance held by the Fund or the Independent Director/Trustee , and shall not apply if: (A) losses are actually indemnified by the Fund, consistent with the Fund’s organizational documents; (B) the disclosure giving rise to the Disclosure Claim was provided by or on behalf of an Independent Director/Trustee for inclusion in the Fund’s Disclosure Documents; (C) losses are the result of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard on the part of an Independent Director/Trustee; or (D) indemnification is not allowed under applicable law.
(viii) The Administrator shall not be liable for indemnification of an Independent Director/Trustee under this Section 8(b) unless the Independent Director/Trustee has notified the Administrator in writing within a reasonable time after the summons or other first legal process giving information of the nature of the Disclosure Claim is served upon such Independent Director/Trustee (or after such Independent Director/Trustee shall have received notice of such service on any designated agent); provided, however, that notification of the Administrator is not required if the Administrator had actual knowledge about the nature of the Disclosure Claim. In the event of a request for indemnification from an Independent Director/Trustee, the Administrator shall pay advances to the fullest extent permissible under the 1940 Act and applicable state law.
(ix) In the event of a request for indemnification from the Fund or an Independent Director/Trustee (“Indemnified Party”), the Administrator shall be entitled, upon notice to the Indemnified Party, to assume the defense of any Disclosure Claim against the Indemnified Party, with counsel satisfactory to the Administrator and the Indemnified Party.
(x) Section 8(a) shall not apply to a claim for indemnification under this Section 8(b).
9. Continuation and Termination. This Agreement shall become effective on the date first written above. The Agreement shall continue in full force and effect through January 1, 2016 and shall continue from year to year thereafter, unless terminated as provided herein.
This Agreement may be terminated by the Fund at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by the Board of Directors/Trustees of the Fund on sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Administrator, or by the Administrator at any time, without the payment of any penalty, on sixty (60) days’ written notice to the Fund.
10. Amendment. This Agreement may not be amended or modified in any manner except by a written agreement executed by both parties. This Agreement shall extend to and shall be binding upon the parties thereto, and their respective successors and assigns; provided, however, that this Agreement
11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original.
12. Applicable Law.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, provided that nothing herein shall be construed in a manner inconsistent with the 1940 Act, the Investment Advisers Act of 1940, or any rules or order of the SEC thereunder.
(b) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held or made invalid by a court decision, statute, rule or otherwise, the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby and, to this extent, the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be severable.
(c) The captions of this Agreement are included for convenience only and in no way define or limit any of the provisions hereof or otherwise affect their construction or effect.
13. Limitation of Liability for Claims. The Administrator is hereby expressly put on notice of the limitation of liability as set forth in the Declaration and agrees that the obligations assumed by the Fund on behalf of each Series pursuant to this Agreement shall be limited in all cases to each applicable Series and their assets, and the Administrator shall not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the shareholders of any Fund or any other Series of the Fund, or from any director, trustee, officer, employee or agent of the Fund. The Administrator understands that the rights and obligations of each Series under the Declaration are separate and distinct from those of any and all other Series.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this instrument to be executed by their officers designated below as of the day and year first above written.
