4. EFFECTIVE DATE.
--------------
This Agreement shall become effective as of the date first written
above (the "Effective Date").
5. TERM.
----
This Agreement shall continue in effect with respect to a Fund,
unless either terminated by either party hereto as provided hereunder, until
November 14, 2000 (the "Initial Term"). Thereafter, unless otherwise terminated
as provided herein, this Agreement shall be renewed automatically for successive
one-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 ninety (90) days advance written notice by the
party alleging cause. Written notice of nonrenewal must be provided within
ninety (90) days of the end of the Initial Term or any Rollover Period, as the
case may be. In addition, notwithstanding the foregoing, either party may
terminate this Agreement during a Rollover Period, without penalty, by the
provision of ninety (90) days advance written notice to the other party.
For purposes of this Agreement, "cause" shall mean (a) a material
breach of this Agreement that has not been remedied for thirty (30) days
following written notice of such breach from the non-breaching party; (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 are evidenced by the authorization or
commencement of, or involvement by way of pleading, answer, consent or
acquiescence in, a voluntary or involuntary 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; (d) any failure on the part of the Company to collect from the
investment adviser any payment or reimbursement that is due and payable by the
investment adviser to the Company (including an amount due the Company that
directly or indirectly represents amounts payable to BISYS in its capacity as
Transfer Agent to the Company) within sixty (60) days following the due date; or
(e) any failure on the part of the Company to pay an amount that is due and
payable to BISYS or any of its affiliates under any other agreement to which the
Company is a party within sixty (60) days following the due date. For purposes
of this definition of "cause," a material breach shall include, but not be
limited to, any failure on the part of the Company to pay fees and/or expenses
due and payable to BISYS pursuant to Sections 2 and 3 hereunder within sixty
(60) days following the due date.
After such termination, for so long as BISYS, with the written
consent of the Company, 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. Fees and
out-of-pocket expenses incurred by BISYS but unpaid by the Company upon such
termination shall be immediately due and payable upon and notwithstanding such
termination. BISYS shall be entitled to collect from the Company, in addition to
the fees and disbursements provided by Sections 2 and 3 hereof, the amount of
all of BISYS' cash disbursements in connection with BISYS' activities in
effecting such termination, including without limitation, the delivery to the
Company and/or its distributor or investment adviser and/or other parties, of
the Company's property, records, instruments and documents.
If, 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 Section 1 hereof), then the Company 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 balance due BISYS
for the remainder of the then-current term of this Agreement, assuming for
purposes of calculation of the payment that such balance shall be based upon the
average number of Company shareholder accounts for the twelve (12) months prior
to the date BISYS is replaced or a third party is added.
In the event the Company is merged into another legal entity in
party 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, including the level of assets subject to such services. 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, (i) 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.

its discretion, shall be entitled to seek, receive and act upon advice of legal
counsel of its choosing, and BISYS shall in no event be liable to the Company or
any Fund or any shareholder or beneficial owner of the Company for any action
reasonably taken pursuant to such advice.
