This agreement (this “Agreement”) is amended and restated as of January 1, 2008, by and between each Massachusetts business trust and each Delaware statutory trust, on behalf of its series, listed on Schedule A hereto, as amended from time to time (each such trust being hereinafter referred to as a “Trust” and each series of a Trust, if any, being hereinafter referred to as a “Fund”), and Columbia Management Advisors, LLC (“CMA”), a Delaware limited liability company.
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Accounting Services Agreement (the “Accounting Agreement”) dated as of December 15, 2006, by and among the Trusts, on behalf of their Funds, CMA and State Street Bank and Trust Company (“SSB”), SSB has agreed to provide certain services to the Funds (such services, the “Accounting Services”);
WHEREAS, pursuant to that certain Financial Reporting Services Agreement (the “Financial Reporting Agreement”) dated as of December 15, 2006, by and among the Trusts, on behalf of their Funds, CMA and SSB, SSB has agreed to provide certain services to the Funds (such services, together with the Accounting Services, and including, without limitation, those services set forth on Schedule B hereto, the “Services”);
WHEREAS, CMA, pursuant to certain investment advisory, administrative and/or other agreements (collectively, the “CMA Fund Agreements”), has undertaken to provide various services to the Trusts and the Funds and is willing to oversee the Services upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth herein; and
WHEREAS, the parties made the Agreement as of December 15, 2006 and wish to amend and restate the Agreement to incorporate any amendments thereto on and prior to January 1, 2008;
NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged by the parties hereto, the parties hereto hereby agree as follows:
1. | Oversight Services. Subject to the terms of this Agreement and the supervision and control of each Trust’s board of trustees, CMA agrees to oversee the provision of the Services by SSB to the Funds. |
2. | Standard of Care. In the absence of willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence on the part of CMA, or reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder, CMA shall not be subject to any liability to any Trust or any Fund, to any shareholder of any Trust or any Fund or to any other person, firm or organization for any act or omission in the course of, or in connection with, rendering oversight services hereunder. The provisions of this Paragraph 2 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. |
3. | Indemnification. Each Trust, on behalf of each of its Funds, shall indemnify CMA against and hold it harmless from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from any claim, demand, action or suit relating to a particular Fund and not resulting from the willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence of CMA in the performance of such obligations and duties or by reason of its reckless disregard thereof. CMA shall not confess any claim or settle or make any compromise in any instance in which a Trust will be asked to provide indemnification, except with such Trust’s prior written consent, which may be given or withheld in such Trust’s absolute discretion. Any amounts payable by a Trust under this Paragraph 3 shall be satisfied only out of the assets of the Fund involved in the claim, demand, action or suit and not out of the assets of any other Fund or Trust. |
4. | Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act. CMA agrees that any information (a)(i) that is provided by CMA or (ii) the provision of which is overseen by CMA and (b) that is necessary to complete a report or other filing that is required to be certified by officers of a Trust pursuant to the Xxxxxxxx-Xxxxx Act of 2002 and the regulations promulgated thereunder (“SOX”) will be true and complete when provided to the Trust and/or to officers of the Trust. CMA further agrees that any written representation or certification that CMA provides to a Trust and/or to officers of the Trust in support of a certification by such Trust and/or officers of such Trust to the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to SOX will be true and complete when given. The provisions of this Paragraph 4 shall survive any termination of this Agreement. |
1
5. | Fund expenses. CMA agrees that it will monitor, budget and approve Fund expenses. |
6. | Compliance. CMA agrees to comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, regulations, codes, orders and rules in the performance of its duties under this Agreement. CMA agrees to provide each Trust with such certifications, reports and other information as such Trust may reasonably request from time to time to assist it in complying with, and monitoring compliance with, applicable laws, regulations, codes, orders and rules. |
7. | Confidentiality. CMA agrees on behalf of itself and its employees to treat confidentially and as proprietary information of each Trust all records and other information relative to such Trust and its prior, present or potential shareholders and not to use such records and information for any purpose other than the performance of its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that after prior notification of and written approval by such Trust (which approval shall not be withheld if CMA would be exposed to civil or criminal contempt proceedings for failure to comply when requested to divulge such information by duly constituted authorities having proper jurisdiction, and which approval shall not be withheld unreasonably in any other circumstance), CMA may disclose such records and/or information as so approved. |
8. | Term. This Agreement (a) shall continue in effect from year to year so long as approved annually by vote of a majority of the Trustees, including a majority of the Trustees who are not affiliated with CMA, and until the later of (i) the date on which the Accounting Agreement is terminated and (ii) the date on which the Financial Reporting Agreement is terminated; (b) may be terminated at any time without penalty upon sixty days’ prior written notice by either party to the other; and (c) may be terminated at any time for cause by either party if such cause remains unremedied for a reasonable period not to exceed ninety days after receipt of written specification of such cause. If a Trust designates a successor to any of CMA’s obligations other than as a result of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to clause (c) above, CMA shall, at the expense and direction of such Trust, transfer to such successor all relevant Fund records maintained by CMA. A termination of this Agreement by one or more Trusts, or by a Trust on behalf of one or more Funds, shall not terminate this Agreement with respect to the other Trusts or the other Funds of such Trust. |
9. | Amendment. This Agreement may be modified only by a written instrument executed by each party hereto. |
10. | No Change; Compensation. This Agreement supersedes that certain Pricing and Bookkeeping Agreement dated as of May 1, 2006, by and between the Massachusetts business trusts, on behalf of their series, listed on Schedule A thereto and CMA, those certain Pricing and Bookkeeping Agreements dated December 1, 2005, between the Delaware statutory trusts (except Banc of America Funds Trust), on behalf of their series listed on Schedule A thereto, and CMA, and that certain Pricing and Bookkeeping Agreement dated June 1, 2006, between Banc of America Funds Trust, on behalf of its series listed on Schedule A thereto, and CMA. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to modify the rights and obligations of the parties hereto under any other CMA Fund Agreements. For services provided pursuant to this Agreement, each Trust on behalf of each Fund will reimburse to CMA, or to such person(s) as CMA may from time to time instruct, expenses of CMA set forth on Schedule C hereto. |
11. | Miscellaneous. |
a. | This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the domestic substantive laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to any conflicts of law or related principles that would cause the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. |
b. | The captions in this Agreement are included for convenience of reference only and in no way define or limit any of the provisions of this Agreement or otherwise affect their construction or effect. |
