AMENDED AND RESTATED
ADMINISTRATION AND TRANSFER AGENCY AGREEMENT
THIS AGREEMENT is made as of this 10th day of December, 2003, by and
between SEI Institutional Investments Trust, a Massachusetts trust (the
"Trust"), and SEI Investments Fund Management (the "Administrator"), a Delaware
business trust.
WHEREAS, the Trust is an open-end management investment company registered
under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the "1940 Act"),
consisting of multiple investment portfolios (each a "Fund" and, collectively,
the "Funds"), each of which may consist of one or more classes of shares of
beneficial interest ("Shares");
WHEREAS, the Trust desires the Administrator to provide, and the
Administrator is willing to provide, administrative, accounting, transfer agency
and dividend distribution services to such Funds of the Trust on the terms and
conditions hereinafter set forth herein;
WHEREAS, the Trust and the Administrator entered into an agreement, dated
September 16, 2002 ("Previous Agreement"), relating to the administration,
transfer agency and dividend distribution services contemplated hereby and the
parties now wish to amend and restate that agreement;
WHEREAS, this Agreement contains the entire understanding between the
parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes the
Previous Agreement;
WHEREAS, consistent with the Trust's anti-money laundering program, as such
program may be amended from time to time (the "AML Program") and provisions of
the Uniting and Strengthening America by Providing Appropriate Tools Required to
Intercept and Obstruct Terrorism Act of 2001 (the "USA PATRIOT Act") applicable
to registered investment companies, the Trust desires to delegate to the
Administrator, and the Administrator is willing to accept such delegation, the
implementation and operation of certain aspects of the Trust's AML Program; and
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and the covenants
hereinafter contained, the Trust and the Administrator hereby agree as follows:
ARTICLE 1. RETENTION OF THE ADMINISTRATOR. The Trust hereby retains the
Administrator to furnish the Funds with accounting, administrative, transfer
agency, dividend distribution and anti-money laundering services as set forth in
this Agreement, and the Administrator hereby accepts such engagement. The
Administrator shall be deemed to be an independent contractor for all purposes
herein.
ARTICLE 2. ADMINISTRATIVE AND ACCOUNTING SERVICES. The Administrator
shall perform or supervise the performance by others of the accounting and
administrative services set forth in Schedule A hereto. The Administrator shall
provide the Trust with all necessary office space, equipment, personnel,
compensation and facilities (including facilities for Shareholders' and
Trustees' meetings) for providing such services. The Administrator may
sub-contract with third parties to perform certain of the services to be
performed by the Administrator hereunder; provided, however, that the
Administrator shall remain responsible to the Trust for the acts and omissions
of such other sub-contracted parties. In meeting its duties hereunder,
Administrator shall have the general authority to do all acts deemed in the
Administrator's good faith belief to be necessary and proper to perform its
obligations under this Agreement.
ARTICLE 3. TRANSFER AGENCY AND DIVIDEND DISTRIBUTION SERVICES. The
Administrator is responsible for performing or supervising the performance by
others of the transfer agency and dividend
1
distribution services set forth in Schedule B hereto. The Administrator may
employ SEI Investments Management Corporation ("SIMC"), an affiliate of the
Administrator, and may sub-contract with other affiliated or non-affiliated
third parties to perform all or part of the services to be performed by the
Administrator under this Article 3; provided, however, that the Administrator
shall remain responsible to the Trust for the acts and omissions of SIMC and
such other sub-contracted parties. In meeting its duties hereunder,
Administrator shall have the general authority to do all acts deemed in the
Administrator's good faith belief to be necessary and proper to perform its
obligations under this Agreement.
The Trust agrees that it shall promptly inform the Administrator of the
declaration of any dividend or distribution on its Shares, and that on or before
the payment date of a distribution, it shall instruct the custodian to make
available, at the instruction of the Administrator, as dividend distributing
agent, sufficient funds for the cash amount to be paid out.
In registering transfers, the Administrator may rely upon the opinion of
counsel in not requiring complete documentation, in registering transfers
without inquiry into adverse claims, in delaying registration for purposes of
such inquiry, or in refusing registration when in its judgment an adverse claim
requires such refusal.
ARTICLE 4. ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING SERVICES.
(A) ADOPTION OF ANTI-MONEY LAUNDERING PROGRAM AND DELEGATION OF SERVICES
TO THE ADMINISTRATOR. The Trust hereby delegates to the Administrator the
performance, on behalf of the Trust, of the services set forth in Schedule C
hereto (the "AML Services") with respect to all Shareholder accounts maintained
by the Administrator pursuant to this Agreement. The Administrator accepts this
delegation and agrees to perform or supervise the performance of the AML
Services in accordance with the Trust's AML Program and the Administrator's
anti-money laundering program and to cooperate with the Trust's AML Compliance
Officer in the performance of its responsibilities hereunder. The Administrator
may employ SIMC and may sub-contract with other affiliated or non-affiliated
third parties to perform all or part of the services to be performed by the
Administrator under this Article 4; provided, however, that the Administrator
shall remain responsible to the Trust for the acts and omissions of SIMC and
such sub-contracted parties. The Administrator will certify annually to the
Trust that it has implemented the Trust's AML Program, and that the
Administrator (or its agent) will perform the specific requirements of the
Trust's AML Program delegated to the Administrator.
Notwithstanding this delegation, the Trust shall maintain full
responsibility for ensuring that its AML Program is and continues to be
reasonably designed to ensure compliance with the USA Patriot Act and Bank
Secrecy Act (collectively, the "AML Acts") and any regulation adopted under the
AML Acts (the "Applicable AML Laws"). The Administrator shall maintain policies,
procedures and internal controls that are consistent with the Trust's AML
Program and the requirement that the Trust employ procedures reasonably designed
to achieve compliance with the Applicable AML Laws and the Trust's AML Program.
The Trust recognizes that the performance of the AML Services involves
the exercise of discretion, which in certain circumstances may result in
consequences to the Trust and its Shareholders (such as in the case of the
reporting of suspicious activities and the freezing of Shareholders' accounts).
The Trust authorizes the Administrator to take such actions in the performance
of the AML Services as the Administrator deems appropriate and consistent with
the Trust's AML Program and Applicable AML Laws.
(B) REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES. The Trust represents and warrants
that: (i) the Trust has adopted a written AML Program, and has duly appointed
the Trust's AML Compliance Officer; (ii) the
2
AML Program and the designation of the AML Compliance Officer have been approved
by the Board; and (iii) the delegation to the Administrator of the AML Services
has been approved by the Board.
The Administrator represents and warrants to the Trust that: (i) it has
adopted and will maintain a written program concerning the AML Services; (ii)
its policies and procedures are reasonably adequate for it to provide the AML
Services and comply with its obligations under this Agreement; (iii) it shall
conduct (or have a third party conduct) an independent review of its anti-money
laundering program at least annually and provide the report of such independent
review to the Trust; (iv) it shall maintain an ongoing anti-money laundering
training program with respect to its own personnel; and (v) it shall maintain an
anti-money laundering compliance officer to administer the servicing of those
aspects of the Trust's AML Program that have been expressly delegated to the
Administrator.
(C) Documentation and Information and Access to Documentation and
Information. The Trust agrees to furnish the Administrator with such information
and documents as may be reasonably requested by the Administrator from time to
time to provide the AML Services. The Trust agrees to notify the Administrator
promptly about: (i) any changes to its AML Program that would materially impact
the Administrator's obligations under this Agreement; and (ii) any known
suspicious activities related to open accounts.
The Administrator agrees to furnish to the Trust its written program
concerning anti-money laundering services rendered by the Administrator to its
various clients. The Administrator agrees to notify the Trust of any change to
its anti-money laundering program that would materially impact the Trust's AML
Program or the provision of the AML Services.
The Administrator shall grant reasonable access to the Trust, the
Trust's AML Compliance Officer, and regulators having jurisdiction over the
Trust, to the books and records maintained by the Administrator and related to
the AML Services, and shall permit federal examiners to inspect the
Administrator for purposes of the Trust's AML Program. Records may be edited or
redacted to maintain confidentiality of materials related to other clients of
the Administrator. The Administrator shall make its relevant personnel available
to meet or speak with the Board concerning the AML Services at least annually or
at such other intervals as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate.
ARTICLE 5. ALLOCATION OF CHARGES AND EXPENSES.
(A) THE ADMINISTRATOR. The Administrator shall furnish at its own expense
the executive, supervisory and clerical personnel necessary to perform its
obligations under this Agreement. The Administrator shall also pay all
compensation, if any, of officers of the Trust as well as all Trustees of the
Trust who are employees of or otherwise affiliated with the Administrator or any
affiliated corporation of the Administrator; provided, however, that unless
otherwise specifically provided, the Administrator shall not be obligated to pay
the compensation of any employee of the Trust retained by the Trustees of the
Trust to perform services on behalf of the Trust.
(B) FUND EXPENSES. The Trust assumes and shall pay or cause to be paid all
other expenses of the Trust not otherwise allocated in this Agreement,
including, without limitation, organizational costs, taxes, expenses for legal
and auditing services, the expenses of preparing (including typesetting),
printing and mailing reports, prospectuses, statements of additional
information, proxy solicitation material and notices to existing Shareholders,
all expenses incurred in connection with issuing and redeeming Shares, the costs
of pricing services, the costs of custodial services, the cost of initial and
ongoing registration of the Shares under Federal and state securities laws, fees
and out-of-pocket expenses of Trustees who are not employees of or otherwise
affiliated with the Administrator or any affiliated corporation of the

and charges of service providers to the Trust.
ARTICLE 6. COMPENSATION OF THE ADMINISTRATOR.
(A) ADMINISTRATOR'S FEE. The Trust shall pay to the Administrator
compensation at the annual rate specified in Schedule D to this Agreement until
this Agreement is terminated in accordance with Article 8. Such compensation
shall be calculated and accrued daily, and paid to the Administrator monthly. If
this Agreement becomes effective subsequent to the first day of a month or
terminates before the last day of a month, the Administrator's compensation for
that part of the month in which this Agreement is in effect shall be prorated in
a manner consistent with the calculation of the fees as set forth above. Payment
of the Administrator's compensation for the preceding month shall be made
promptly. The Administrator shall be responsible for payment of fees to any
affiliated or non-affiliated third party that provides services under this
Agreement.
(B) COMPENSATION FROM TRANSACTIONS. The Trust hereby authorizes any entity
or person associated with the Administrator which is a member of a national
securities exchange to effect any transaction on the exchange for the account of
the Trust which is permitted by Section 11(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of
1934 (the "1934 Act") and Rule 11a2-2(T) thereunder, and the Trust hereby
consents to the retention of compensation for such transactions in accordance
with Rule 11a2-2(T)(a)(2)(iv).
(C) SURVIVAL OF COMPENSATION RATES. All rights of compensation under this
Agreement for services performed as of the termination date shall survive the
termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 7. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY OF THE ADMINISTRATOR. The duties of
the Administrator shall be confined to those expressly set forth herein, and no
implied duties are assumed by or may be asserted against the Administrator
hereunder. The Administrator shall not be liable for any error of judgment or
mistake of law or for any loss arising out of any investment or for any act or
omission in carrying out its duties hereunder, except a loss resulting from
willful misfeasance, bad faith or negligence in the performance of its duties,
or by reason of reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder
except as may otherwise be provided under provisions of applicable state law
which cannot be waived or modified hereby. (As used in this Article 7, the term
"Administrator" shall include Trustees, officers, employees and other agents of
the Administrator as well as that entity itself.) Under no circumstances shall
the Administrator be liable to the Trust for consequential, indirect or punitive
damages.
So long as the Administrator, or its agents, acts with good faith and with
due diligence and without gross negligence in the performance of its duties, the
Trust assumes full responsibility and shall indemnify the Administrator and hold
it harmless from and against any and all actions, suits and claims, whether
groundless or otherwise, and from and against any and all losses, damages,
costs, charges, reasonable counsel fees and disbursements, payments, expenses
and liabilities (including reasonable investigation expenses) arising directly
or indirectly out of any act or omission of the Administrator in carrying out
its duties hereunder. The indemnity and defense provisions set forth herein
shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
The indemnification rights hereunder shall include the right to reasonable
advances of defense expenses in the event of any pending or threatened
litigation with respect to which indemnification hereunder may ultimately be
merited. If in any case the Trust may be asked to indemnify or hold the
Administrator harmless, the Administrator shall fully and promptly advise the
Trust of the pertinent facts concerning the situation in question, and the
Administrator will use all reasonable care to identify and notify
4
the Trust promptly concerning any situation which presents or appears likely to
present the probability of such a claim for indemnification, but failure to do
so in good faith shall not affect the rights hereunder.
The Trust shall be entitled to participate at its own expense or, if it so
elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any claims subject
to this indemnity provision. If the Trust elects to assume the defense of any
such claim, the defense shall be conducted by counsel chosen by the Trust and
satisfactory to the Administrator, whose approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. In the event that the Trust elects to assume the defense of any suit
and retain counsel, the Administrator shall bear the fees and expenses of any
additional counsel retained by it. If the Trust does not elect to assume the
defense of a suit, it will reimburse the Administrator for the fees and expenses
of any counsel retained by the Administrator.
The Administrator may apply to Trust at any time for instructions and may
consult counsel for Trust or its own counsel and with accountants and other
experts with respect to any matter arising in connection with the
Administrator's duties, and the Administrator shall not be liable or accountable
for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in accordance with such
instruction or with the opinion of such counsel, accountants or other experts.
Also, the Administrator shall not be held liable acting upon any document
which it reasonably believes to be genuine and to have been signed or presented
by the proper person or persons. Nor shall the Administrator be held to have
notice of any change of authority of any officers, employee or agent of Trust
until receipt of written notice thereof from Trust.
Nothing herein shall make the Administrator liable for the performance or
omission of unaffiliated third parties not under the Administrator's reasonable
control such as, by way of example and not limitation, transfer agents,
custodians, investment advisers or sub-advisers, postal delivery services,
telecommunications providers and processing and settlement services.
ARTICLE 8. DURATION AND TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT. Unless terminated
earlier in accordance with the provisions of this Article, this Agreement shall
remain in effect for a period of two years from date of execution, and
thereafter, for periods of one year so long as such continuance is specifically
approved at least annually (i) by the Trustees of the Trust and (ii) by the vote
of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to this Agreement
or interested persons of any such party. This Agreement may be terminated at any
time, without payment of any penalty, by vote of a majority of the Trustees of
the Trust on not less than 60 days' written notice to the Administrator, or by
the Administrator on not less than 90 days' written notice to the Trust.
ARTICLE 9. ACTIVITIES OF THE ADMINISTRATOR. The services of the
Administrator rendered to the Trust are not to be deemed to be exclusive. The
Administrator is free to render such services to others and to have other
businesses and interests. It is understood that the Trustees, officers,
employees and Shareholders of the Trust are or may be or become interested in
the Administrator, as directors, officers, employees and shareholders or
otherwise and that directors, officers, employees and shareholders of the
Administrator and its counsel are or may be or become similarly interested in
the Trust, and that the Administrator may be or become interested in the Trust
as a Shareholder or otherwise.
ARTICLE 10. CONFIDENTIALITY. The Administrator agrees on behalf of itself
and its employees to treat confidentially all records and other information
relative to the Trust and its shareholders received by the Administrator in
connection with this Agreement, including any non-public personal information as
defined in Regulation S-P, and that it shall not use or disclose any such
information except for the purpose of carrying out the terms of this Agreement;
provided, however, that the Administrator may disclose such information as
required by law or after prior notification to and approval in writing by Trust,
which
5
approval may not be withheld where the Administrator may be exposed to civil or
criminal contempt proceedings or penalties for failure to comply.
ARTICLE 11. CERTAIN RECORDS. The Administrator shall maintain customary
records in connection with its duties as specified in this Agreement. Any
records required to be maintained and preserved pursuant to Rules 31a-1 and
31a-2 under the 1940 Act which are prepared or maintained by the Administrator
on behalf of the Trust shall be prepared and maintained at the expense of the
Administrator, but shall be the property of the Trust and will be made available
to or surrendered promptly to the Trust on request.
In case of any request or demand for the inspection of such records by
another party, the Administrator shall notify the Trust and follow the Trust's
instructions as to permitting or refusing such inspection; provided that the
Administrator may exhibit such records to any person in any case where it is
advised by its counsel that it may be held liable for failure to do so, unless
(in cases involving potential exposure only to civil liability) Trust has agreed
to indemnify the Administrator against such liability.
ARTICLE 12. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL RULES AND REGULATIONS. The
Administrator undertakes to comply in all material respects with applicable
requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, the 1934 Act, the 1940 Act, and any
laws, rules and regulations of governmental authorities having jurisdiction with
respect to the duties to be performed by the Administrator hereunder. All of the
Administrator's duties shall be subject to the objectives, policies and
restrictions contained in the Trust's current registration statement under the
1940 Act, the Trust's Declaration of Trust and By-Laws, and any other guidelines
that may be established by the Board of Trustees.
ARTICLE 13. INTERNET ACCESS. Data and information may be made
electronically accessible to the Trust and its adviser and/or sub-adviser(s)
through Internet access to one or more links provided by the Administrator ("Web

ARTICLE 14. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Agreement constitutes the
entire agreement between the parties hereto and supersedes any prior agreement,
draft or proposal with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement or
any part hereof may be changed or waived only by an instrument in writing signed
by the party against which enforcement of such change or waiver is sought;
PROVIDED THAT, any material amendment must be specifically approved (i) by the
vote of a majority of the Trustees of the Trust, and (ii) by the vote of
majority of the Trustees of the Trust who are not parties to this Agreement or
interested persons of any such party. For special cases, the parties hereto may
amend such procedures set forth herein as may be appropriate or practical under
the circumstances, and the Administrator may conclusively assume that any
special procedure which has been approved by the Trust does not conflict with or
violate any requirements of its Declaration of Trust, By-Laws or prospectus, or
any rule, regulation or requirement of any regulatory body.
ARTICLE 15. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement may not be assigned by either
party without the prior written consent of the other party.
6
ARTICLE 16. WAIVER. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be waived
at any time by the party entitled to the benefit thereof by written instrument
executed by such party. No failure of either party hereto to exercise any power
or right granted hereunder, or to insist upon strict compliance with any
obligation hereunder, and no custom or practice of the parties with regard to
the terms of performance hereof, will constitute a waiver of the rights of such
party to demand full and exact compliance with the terms of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 17. NOTICE. Any notice required or permitted to be given by
either party to the other shall be deemed sufficient if sent by registered or
certified mail, overnight courier (or substantially similar delivery service),

Administrator, at Xxx Xxxxxxx Xxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxxxx, 00000.
ARTICLE 18. FORCE MAJEURE. No breach of any obligation of a party to this
Agreement will constitute an event of default or breach to the extent it arises
out of a cause, existing or future, that is beyond the control and without
negligence of the party otherwise chargeable with breach or default, including
without limitation: work action or strike; lockout or other labor dispute;
flood; war; riot; theft; earthquake or natural disaster. Either party desiring
to rely upon any of the foregoing as an excuse for default or breach will, when
the cause arises, give to the other party prompt notice of the facts which
constitute such cause; and, when the cause ceases to exist, give prompt notice
thereof to the other party.
ARTICLE 19. EQUIPMENT FAILURES. In the event of equipment failures beyond
the Administrator's control, the Administrator shall take reasonable and prompt
steps to minimize service interruptions but shall have no liability with respect
