-------------------------
AGREEMENT made this 1st day of January, 2001, between AMSOUTH FUNDS
(the "Trust"), a Massachusetts business trust having its principal place of
business at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000, and BISYS FUND SERVICES
OHIO, INC. ("BISYS"), an Ohio corporation having its principal place of business
at 0000 Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxx, Xxxx 00000.
WHEREAS, the Trust desires that BISYS perform certain services for each
series of the Trust (individually referred to herein as a "Fund" and
collectively as the "Funds"); and
WHEREAS, BISYS is willing to perform such services on the terms and
conditions set forth in this Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual premises and covenants
herein set forth, the parties agree as follows:
1. Services.
---------
BISYS shall perform for the Trust the transfer agent services
set forth in Schedule A hereto. BISYS also agrees to perform for the Trust such
special services incidental to the performance of the services enumerated herein
as agreed to by the parties from time to time. BISYS shall perform such
additional services as are provided on an amendment to Schedule A hereof, in
consideration of such fees as the parties hereto may agree.
BISYS may, in its discretion, appoint in writing other parties
qualified to perform transfer agency services reasonably acceptable to the Trust
(individually, a "Sub-transfer Agent") to carry out some or all of its
responsibilities under this Agreement with respect to a Fund; provided, however,
that the Sub-transfer Agent shall be the agent of BISYS and not the agent of the
Trust or such Fund, and that BISYS shall be fully responsible for the acts of
such Sub-transfer Agent and shall not be relieved of any of its responsibilities
hereunder by the appointment of such Sub-transfer Agent.
2. Fees.
-----
The Trust shall pay BISYS for the services to be provided by
BISYS under this Agreement in accordance with, and in the manner set forth in,
Schedule B hereto. Fees for any additional services to be provided by BISYS
pursuant to an amendment to Schedule A hereto shall be subject to mutual
agreement at the time such amendment to Schedule A is proposed.
3. Reimbursement of Expenses.
--------------------------
In addition to paying BISYS the fees described in Section 2
hereof, the Trust agrees to reimburse BISYS for BISYS' out-of-pocket expenses in
providing services hereunder, including without limitation, the following:
1
(a) All freight and other delivery and bonding charges
incurred by BISYS in delivering materials to and from
the Trust and in delivering all materials to
shareholders;
(b) All direct telephone, telephone transmission and
telecopy or other electronic transmission expenses
incurred by BISYS in communication with the Trust,
the Trust's investment adviser or custodian, dealers,
shareholders or others as required for BISYS to
perform the services to be provided hereunder;
(c) Costs of postage, couriers, stock computer paper,
statements, labels, envelopes, checks, reports,
letters, tax forms, proxies, notices or other forms
of printed material which shall be required by BISYS
for the performance of the services to be provided
hereunder;
(d) The cost of microfilm or microfiche of records or
other materials;
(e) All systems-related expenses associated with the
provision of special reports and services pursuant to
Schedule C attached hereto;
(f) Expenses associated with NSCC processing; and
(g) Any expenses BISYS shall incur at the written
direction of an officer of the Trust thereunto duly
authorized.
4. Effective Date.
---------------
This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first
written above (the "Effective Date").
5. Term.
-----
The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective
Date and shall remain in effect, unless earlier terminated by either party
hereto as provided hereunder, until December 31, 2006 (the "Initial Term").
Thereafter, unless otherwise terminated as provided herein, this Agreement shall
be renewed automatically for successive two-year periods ("Rollover Periods").
This Agreement may be terminated without penalty (i) by provision of a notice of
nonrenewal in the manner set forth below, (ii) by mutual agreement of the
parties or (iii) for "cause," as defined below, upon the provision of sixty (60)
days advance written notice by the party alleging cause. Written notice of
nonrenewal must be provided at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the
Initial Term or any Rollover Period, as the case may be.
For purposes of this Agreement, "cause" shall mean (a) willful
misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard on the part of
the party to be terminated with respect to its obligations and duties set forth
herein; (b) a final, unappealable judicial, regulatory or administrative ruling
or order in which the party to be terminated has been found guilty of criminal
or unethical behavior in the conduct of its business; (c) financial difficulties
on the part of the party to be terminated which is evidenced by the
authorization or commencement of, or involved by way of pleading, consent, or
2
acquiescence in, a voluntary case under Title 11 of the United States Code, as
from time to time is in effect, or any applicable law, other than said Title 11,
of any jurisdiction relating to the liquidation or reorganization of debtors or
to the modification or alteration of the rights of creditors; or (d) any
circumstance which substantially impairs the performance of the obligations and
duties of the party to be terminated, or the ability to perform those
obligations and duties, as contemplated herein.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, after such termination, for so
long as BISYS, with the written consent of the Trust, in fact continues to
perform any one or more of the services contemplated by this Agreement or any
schedule or exhibit hereto, the provisions of this Agreement, including without
limitation the provisions dealing with indemnification, shall continue in full
force and effect. Compensation due BISYS and unpaid by the Trust upon such
termination shall be immediately due and payable upon and notwithstanding such
termination. BISYS shall be entitled to collect from the Trust, in addition to
the compensation described in this Schedule A, the amount of all of BISYS' cash
disbursements for services in connection with BISYS' activities in effecting
such termination, including without limitation, the delivery to the Trust and/or
its designees of the Trust's property, records, instruments and documents.
If, during the Initial Term, for any reason other than
nonrenewal, mutual agreement of the parties or "cause," as defined above, BISYS
is replaced as transfer agent, or if a third party is added to perform all or a
part of the services provided by BISYS under this Agreement (excluding any
Sub-transfer Agent appointed by BISYS as provided in Article 1 hereof), then the
Trust shall make a one-time cash payment, in consideration of the fee structure
and services to be provided under this Agreement, and not as a penalty, to BISYS
equal to the fees that are due and payable under this Agreement for the lesser
of (i) the remainder of the Initial Term of this Agreement or (ii) a two-year
period, assuming for purposes of calculation of the payment that such balance
shall be based upon the average amount of the Trust's assets for the twelve
months prior to the date BISYS is replaced or a third party is added.
In the event the Trust is merged into another legal entity in
part or in whole pursuant to any form of business reorganization or is
liquidated in part or in whole prior to the expiration of the then-current term
of this Agreement, the parties acknowledge and agree that the liquidated damages
provision set forth above shall be applicable in those instances in which BISYS
is not retained to provide transfer agency services consistent with this
Agreement. The one-time cash payment referenced above shall be due and payable
on the day prior to the first day in which BISYS is replaced or a third party is
added.
The parties further acknowledge and agree that, in the event
BISYS is replaced, or a third party is added, as set forth above, (1) a
determination of actual damages incurred by BISYS would be extremely difficult,
and (ii) the liquidated damages provision contained herein is intended to
adequately compensate BISYS for damages incurred and is not intended to
constitute any form of penalty.

6. Uncontrollable Events.
----------------------
BISYS assumes no responsibility hereunder, and shall not be
liable for any damage, loss of data, delay or any other loss whatsoever caused
by events beyond its reasonable control.
7. Legal Advice.
-------------
BISYS shall notify the Trust at any time BISYS believes that
it is in need of the advice of counsel (other than counsel in the regular employ
of BISYS or any affiliated companies) with regard to BISYS' responsibilities and
duties pursuant to this Agreement; and after so notifying the Trust, BISYS, at
its discretion, shall be entitled to seek, receive and act upon advice of legal
counsel of its choosing, such advice to be at the expense of the Trust or Funds
unless relating to a matter involving BISYS' willful misfeasance, bad faith,
gross negligence or reckless disregard with respect to BISYS' responsibilities
and duties hereunder and BISYS shall in no event be liable to the Trust or any
Fund or any shareholder or beneficial owner of the Trust for any action
reasonably taken pursuant to such advice.
8. Instructions.
-------------
Whenever BISYS is requested or authorized to take action
hereunder pursuant to instructions from a shareholder, or a properly authorized
agent of a shareholder ("shareholder's agent"), concerning an account in a Fund,
BISYS shall be entitled to rely upon any certificate, letter or other instrument
or communication, believed by BISYS to be genuine and to have been properly
made, signed or authorized by an officer or other authorized agent of the Trust
or by the shareholder or shareholder's agent, as the case may be, and shall be
entitled to receive as conclusive proof of any fact or matter required to be
ascertained by it hereunder a certificate signed by an officer of the Trust or
any other person authorized by the Trust's Board of Trustees (hereafter referred
to as the "Trustees") or by the shareholder or shareholder's agent, as the case
may be.
As to the services to be provided hereunder, BISYS may rely
conclusively upon the terms of the Prospectuses and Statement of Additional
Information of the Trust relating to the Funds to the extent that such services
are described therein unless BISYS receives written instructions to the contrary
in a timely manner from the Trust.
9. Standard of Care; Reliance on Records and Instructions;
Indemnification.
-------------------------------------------------------
BISYS shall use its best efforts to ensure the accuracy of all
services performed under this Agreement, but shall not be liable to the Trust
for any action taken or omitted by BISYS in the absence of bad faith, willful
misfeasance, negligence or from reckless disregard by it of its obligations and
duties. The Trust agrees to indemnify and hold harmless BISYS, its employees,
agents, directors, officers and nominees from and against any and all claims,
demands, actions and suits, whether groundless or otherwise, and from and
against any and all judgments, liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges,
counsel fees and other expenses of every nature and character arising out of or
in any way relating to BISYS' actions taken or nonactions with respect to the
performance of services under this Agreement or based, if applicable, upon
reasonable reliance on information, records, instructions or requests given or
made to BISYS by the Trust, the investment adviser and on any records provided
4
by any fund accountant or custodian thereof; provided that this indemnification
shall not apply to actions or omissions of BISYS in cases of its own bad faith,
willful misfeasance, negligence or from reckless disregard by it of its
obligations and duties; and further provided that prior to confessing any claim
against it which may be the subject of this indemnification, BISYS shall give
the Trust written notice of and reasonable opportunity to defend against said
claim in its own name or in the name of BISYS.

agrees that all such books and records shall be the property of the Trust and to
make such books and records available for inspection by the Trust or by the
Securities and Exchange Commission (the "Commission") at reasonable times and
otherwise to keep confidential all books and records and other information
relative to the Trust and its shareholders, except when requested to divulge
such information by duly-constituted authorities or court process, or requested
by a shareholder or shareholder's agent with respect to information concerning

interest or when requested by the Trust , the shareholder, or shareholder's
agent, or the dealer of record as to such account.

the Trust's demand, turn over to the Trust and cease to retain BISYS' files,

accounts with such bank or banks as are selected by the Trust, as are necessary

purposes, the Trust and Funds shall provide such bank or banks with all
instructions and authorizations necessary for BISYS to effect such
disbursements.

affecting the rights and remedies of creditors and secured parties.
