this Agreement (the “Transitional
Period”), InvestAmerica will provide those financial, business and
investment advisory services specified on Schedule A
(collectively referred to as the “Transitional

Agreement after the Transitional Period (as the same may be extended pursuant to
Section 2.1 above), InvestAmerica will provide those financial, business and
investment advisory services specified on Schedule B
(collectively referred to as the “Ongoing Services”
and, together with the Transitional Services, the “Services”) to, or for

the direction and control of the Board of Directors of MACC.
3. Term. This
Agreement shall continue in effect for two (2) years from the Effective Date,

securities. This Agreement also may be terminated by InvestAmerica at
any time, without payment of any penalty, on sixty (60) days’ written notice to

2
4. Portfolio Board Service and
Asset Management.
4.1 It
is acknowledged that as a part of the Services to be provided by InvestAmerica
hereunder, (i) certain of its employees, representatives and agents (“InvestAmerica
Representatives”) may serve as members of the boards of directors and
board committees of individual Portfolio Companies and (ii) InvestAmerica will
monitor and manage investments in Existing Portfolio Companies, including exits,
preparation of valuations and other portfolio management
matters. InvestAmerica and InvestAmerica Representatives serving on
the boards of directors and board committees of individual Existing Portfolio
Companies shall conduct the Services in accordance with applicable law and all
investment policies as set forth in writing by Eudiamonia and the Board of
Directors of MACC with respect to such Services, provided that at all times the
InvestAmerica Representatives shall act in accordance with their fiduciary
duties as members of Existing Portfolio Company boards. In regard to
such actions and decisions, MACC hereby appoints InvestAmerica (and such
officers, directors, employees, representatives and agents is it shall
designate) as its proxy, as a result of which InvestAmerica shall have the
authority, in its performance of this Agreement, to make decisions and to take
such actions, without specific authority from Eudaimonia or the Board of
Directors of MACC, as to all matters which are not hereby
restricted.
4.2 All
fees, including director’s fees that may be paid to InvestAmerica by or for the
account of an Existing Portfolio Company shall be paid to
MACC. Notwithstanding the foregoing, InvestAmerica will be allowed to
be reimbursed by Existing Portfolio Companies for all direct expenses associated
with due diligence and management of portfolio investments or investment
opportunities, including expenses of attending board and management meetings,
and such expenses (travel, meals, lodging, etc.) will not be payable to, or by,
Eudaimonia or credited against the Management Fee.
4.3 Except
for expense reimbursement provided in Section 4.2 above and 4.4 below,
InvestAmerica’s sole and exclusive compensation for all of its services to be
rendered hereunder will be in the form of a Management Fee and a separate
Incentive Fee as provided in Section 5.
4.4 InvestAmerica
will be responsible for the following expenses: its staff salaries and fringe
benefits, office space, office equipment and furniture, communications, travel,
meals and entertainment, conventions, seminars, office supplies, dues and
subscriptions, hiring fees, moving expenses, repair and maintenance, employment
taxes, in-house accounting expenses and minor miscellaneous
expenses. InvestAmerica will pay for its own account all expenses
incurred in rendering the services to be rendered hereunder. Without limiting
the generality of the foregoing, InvestAmerica will pay the salaries and other
employee benefits of the persons in its organization whom it may engage to
render such services, including without limitation, persons in its organization
who may from time to time agree to act as officers of
MACC. Eudaimonia or MACC, however, will be responsible for all
reasonable expenses for travel at the direction of Eudaimonia or MACC, including
for board or other management meetings, which expenses shall be reimbursed
promptly upon being invoiced therefor by InvestAmerica. Without
limiting the foregoing, InvestAmerica will not be responsible for any
expenses: (i) required to be paid by MACC pursuant to the Eudaimonia
Advisory Agreement (including, without limitation, Section 2.3 thereof), (ii)
any expenses related to transferring management of MACC to Eudaimonia, including
expenses of moving records to the offices of Eudaimonia, (iii) expenses of
duplicating files necessary for performance of the Services; or (iv) any other
expenses incurred in connection with the services that are not expressly payable
by InvestAmerica under this Agreement.
3
4.5 The
obligations of InvestAmerica to Eudaimonia and MACC are not
exclusive.
(a) InvestAmerica
and its affiliates may, in their discretion, manage other venture capital funds
and render the same or similar services to any other person or persons who may
be making the same or similar investments. Neither InvestAmerica nor
any of its affiliates shall in any manner be liable to Eudaimonia, MACC or their
affiliates by reason of the activities of InvestAmerica or its affiliates on
behalf of other persons and funds as described in this paragraph and any
conflict of interest arising therefrom is hereby expressly waived.
(b) The
scope of the Services does not include presentation of investment opportunities
to MACC or making new investments for MACC, but rather is limited to management
of the Existing Portfolio Companies. Accordingly, InvestAmerica is
not required to present to MACC investments being considered by other funds
managed by InvestAmerica or its affiliates.
(c) With
respect to follow-on investments made by InvestAmerica pursuant to this
Agreement, any such investment management services and all co-investments shall
at all times be provided in strict accordance with rules and regulations under
the 1940 Act and the Exemptive Orders.
5. Management and Incentive
Fees.
5.1 During
the Transitional Period, Eudaimonia will pay InvestAmerica monthly in arrears a
management fee (the “Transitional Management
Fee”) equal to seventy-five percent (75%) of the management fee actually
paid by MACC to Eudaimonia pursuant to the Eudaimonia Advisory Agreement
attributable to Existing Portfolio Companies as of the Effective
Date. For the remainder of the term of this Agreement and to the
extent the Agreement is extended pursuant to the terms of this Agreement and the
terms of the 1940 Act, Eudaimonia will pay InvestAmerica monthly in arrears a
management fee (the “Management Fee”)
equal to fifty percent (50%) of the management fee actually paid by MACC to
Eudaimonia pursuant to the Eudaimonia Advisory Agreement attributable to
Existing Portfolio Companies as of the Effective Date.
4
Eudaimonia shall arrange for the Transitional Management
Fee or the Management Fee, as applicable,
to be paid to InvestAmerica directly by MACC on the same day as MACC pays
Eudaimonia its management fee under the Eudaimonia Advisory Agreement, provided
that Eudaimonia has received payment of its management fee from MACC pursuant to
the terms of the Eudamonia Advisory Agreement. Payments of
Transitional Management Fees or Management Fees that are delayed because of
failure of MACC to pay a management fee to Eudaimonia for the corresponding
period shall be made promptly upon Eudaimonia receiving such management fee from
MACC. The Transitional Management Fee shall stop accruing as of the
last day of the Transitional Period. The Management Fee shall stop accruing on the date
that this Agreement expires or is terminated. Upon expiration or
termination of this Agreement, all earned but unpaid Transitional Management Fees and Management Fees
shall be immediately due and payable.
5.2 During
the term of this Agreement Eudaimonia shall pay to InvestAmerica an incentive
fee determined as specified in this Section 5.2 (the “Incentive
Fee”).
(a) The
Incentive Fee to be paid to InvestAmerica shall consist of one hundred percent
(100%) of the incentive fee actually paid by MACC to Eudaimonia pursuant to the
Eudaimonia Advisory Agreement attributable to Existing Portfolio Companies as of
the Effective Date.
(b) Upon
termination of this Agreement, all earned but unpaid Incentive Fees shall be
immediately due and payable.
(c) Payment of
Incentive Fees shall be made as follows:
(i) To
the extent payable, Incentive Fees shall be paid, in cash, in arrears on the
last business day of each fiscal quarter in the fiscal year.
(ii) The
Incentive Fee shall be retroactively adjusted as soon as practicable following
completion of the valuations at the end of each fiscal year in which this
Agreement is in effect to reflect the actual Incentive Fee due and owing to
InvestAmerica, and if such adjustment reveals that InvestAmerica has received
more Incentive Fee income than it is entitled to hereunder, InvestAmerica shall
promptly reimburse Eudaimonia for the amount of the excess.
(d) The
Incentive Fee shall stop accruing effective as of the date of the expiration
(subject, however, to annual continuance as provided in Section 3
above) or termination of this Agreement. Upon the
expiration or termination of this Agreement, all earned but unpaid Incentive
Fees shall be immediately due and payable; provided, however, that Incentive
Fees earned with respect to non-cash Realized Capital Gains (as defined in the
Eudaimonia Advisory Agreement) shall not be due and payable to InvestAmerica
until the cash is received by MACC.
5
(e) To
the extent payable, Eudaimonia shall arrange for the Incentive Fee to be paid to
InvestAmerica directly by MACC, on the same date as MACC pays Eudaimonia its
incentive fee under the Eudaimonia Advisory Agreement, and in no event less than
annually.
6. Personnel. All
employee wages, benefits and other related costs for employees and personnel of
InvestAmerica shall be the sole responsibility of InvestAmerica, and
InvestAmerica shall have sole control of the payment of wages and benefits to
such employees. The individuals providing the Services shall at all
times be considered to be in the employ of InvestAmerica and under the direction
and control of InvestAmerica, and they shall not be considered to be in the
employ of Eudaimonia. No InvestAmerica personnel shall be
required to relocate. Without the prior written consent of
InvestAmerica (which consent InvestAmerica may grant or withhold in its sole and
absolute discretion), Eudaimonia agrees that it shall not, for a period of three
(3) years from the date of termination of this Agreement, either alone or in
conjunction with any other person, or directly or indirectly through its present
or future affiliates, employ, engage or seek to employ or engage any person who
is an employee of InvestAmerica.
7. Accounts and
Records. InvestAmerica will maintain books of account
and other records and files with respect to the Services provided
hereunder. InvestAmerica shall make such records available for
inspection by Eudaimonia upon reasonable notice at mutually convenient times at
the place where such records are kept in the ordinary course of
business.
8. Confidentiality.
InvestAmerica agrees that it will come into possession of information regarding
the Portfolio Companies and information regarding other companies, the
securities of which are owned by other funds managed by one of the parties
(“Confidential
Portfolio Information”), and information concerning the business of the
other parties to this Agreement (“Confidential Business
Information”) (collectively, the Confidential Portfolio Information and
Confidential Business Information are referred to herein as “Confidential
Information”). Confidential Information shall not include
information independently developed by a party without reliance on the
Confidential Information of the other party, information obtained from a third
party, which third party is under no restriction with respect to the use and
disclosure of such information, or information approved for unrestricted release
by a party without violating a provision of this agreement.
InvestAmerica
agrees that the Confidential Information is highly confidential, private and of
a sensitive nature. Eudaimonia and InvestAmerica agree that each will
handle the Confidential Information of the other with the same degree of care
that it uses to handle its own Confidential Information, and will, at all times,
handle the Confidential Information of the other in a manner reasonably
calculated to maintain its confidentiality. Each party understands
that the other may disclose Confidential Information as reasonably
necessary: (i) in the normal course of managing existing portfolios,
(ii) in performing the Services, (iii) in the performance of tasks by
InvestAmerica as requested by Eudaimonia and (iv) in communicating with
shareholders, investors, and regulatory agencies, including the
SEC. Eudaimonia and InvestAmerica also agree that the parties may
disclose Confidential Portfolio Information to banks, financing sources,
investment banks, brokers, auditors, law firms and other service providers (i)
as reasonably necessary in connection with the management of an investment in a
Portfolio Company, (ii) at the request of the Portfolio Company who directs
disclosure to third parties and (iii) as reasonably necessary in connection with
service as a director of a Portfolio Company. InvestAmerica may also
use and disclose information regarding IRR, cash flow and other performance data
for the Existing Portfolio and all other historical performance data relating to
the Existing Portfolio and prior investments during the time InvestAmerica
managed MACC. In addition, a party may use and disclose the
Confidential Information of the other party where required by law, provided that
it shall first notify the other party in writing of such requirement and
cooperate with respect to any reasonable steps available for the further
protection of such Confidential Information.
6
Except as
otherwise provided herein, InvestAmerica agrees that it will use the
Confidential Information solely in the management of MACC or the management of
other funds that have co-investments with MACC.
InvestAmerica
agrees that, in the event of any breach of any provision hereof, the aggrieved
party will not have an adequate remedy in money or damages and that, in such
event, the aggrieved party shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against
such breach in any court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of
posting a bond even if otherwise normally required. Such injunctive
relief will in no way limit the aggrieved party’s right to obtain other remedies
available under applicable law.
9. Compliance with Laws;
Cooperation.
9.1 InvestAmerica
shall use diligent effort to cause all Services to be performed in strict
compliance with all laws, regulations and requirements of any federal, state,
municipal or other governmental entity having jurisdiction respecting either of
the parties and/or the Services being rendered, including the 1940 Act, the
Advisers Act and all Exemptive Orders.
9.2 Eudaimonia
shall cooperate fully with InvestAmerica’s efforts to perform the Services
effectively and in compliance with applicable law, including providing
InvestAmerica with files and records necessary for the performance of the
Services.
10. Indemnification; Fidelity
Bond, Directors and Officers Insurance.
10.1 Eudaimonia
shall not be liable or responsible for any action or omission on the part of
InvestAmerica or its employees, representatives or agents arising out of their
respective service on the board of directors of individual Portfolio Companies
or provision of other Services pursuant to this Agreement, except to the extent
that such action or omission was specifically directed by Eudaimonia, in
writing. InvestAmerica shall indemnify and hold Eudaimonia harmless
from any claims or liabilities arising out of the service of InvestAmerica and
its employees, representatives and agents on the boards of directors of
individual Portfolio Companies or the provision of other Services pursuant to
this Agreement, except to the extent that InvestAmerica or its employees,
representatives or agents were carrying out the express written instructions of
Eudaimonia in connection with the action or omission complained of.
10.2 InvestAmerica
shall not be liable or responsible for any action or omission on the part of
Eudaimonia or its employees, representatives or agents arising out of this
Agreement or the Eudaimonia Advisory Agreement. Eudaimonia shall
indemnify and hold InvestAmerica harmless from any claims or liabilities arising
out of Eudaimonia’s actions or omissions with respect to this Agreement or the
Eudaimonia Advisory Agreement.
7
10.3 During
the term of this Agreement, InvestAmerica and its officers, directors and
employees, with respect to performance of the Services under this Agreement and
as officers or employees of MACC, if applicable, shall be covered at
all times by a (i) directors and officers insurance policy and (ii) a joint
fidelity bond, in each case at least as extensive in amount, scope and coverage
as required by law and as presently in force (as long as reasonable commercially
available), and at no cost to InvestAmerica.
10.4 Neither
InvestAmerica, nor any of its officers, directors, shareholders, employees,
agents or Affiliates, whether past, present or future (collectively, the “Indemnified
Parties”), shall be liable to Eudaimonia or MACC, or any of their
affiliates for any error in judgment or mistake of law made by the Indemnified
Parties in connection with any investment made by or for MACC, provided such
error or mistake was not made in bad faith or as a result of gross negligence or
willful misconduct of the Indemnified Parties. MACC confirms that in performing
services hereunder Eudaimonia will be an agent of MACC for the purpose of the
indemnification provisions of the Bylaws of MACC subject, however, to the same
limitations as though the Indemnified Parties were a director or officer of
MACC. InvestAmerica shall not be liable to Eudaimonia, MACC, their
shareholders or their creditors, except for violations of law or for conduct
which would preclude the Indemnified Parties from being indemnified under such
Bylaw provisions. The indemnification provisions of this Section 9 are
applicable to the entire period for which InvestAmerica has provided advisory
services to MACC or its predecessors, beginning in 1985. The
provisions of this Section 9(d) shall survive termination of this
Agreement.
11. Notices. All
notices or other communications given pursuant to this Agreement shall be in
writing and shall be given by personal delivery, by United States mail or an
established, commercial express delivery service (such as Federal
Express), postage or delivery charge prepaid, return receipt requested,
addressed to the person and address designated below:
