ADDENDUM
TO FUND ACCOUNTING AGREEMENT
THIS
ADDENDUM dated as of this 16 day of October 2006, to the Fund Accounting
Agreement, dated as of October 19, 2004 (the “Agreement”), is entered by and
between PRIMECAP
ODYSSEY FUNDS,
a
Delaware statutory trust (the “Trust”) and U.S.
BANCORP FUND SERVICES, LLC,
a
Wisconsin limited liability company (“USBFS”).
WHEREAS,
the parties have entered into the Agreement which requires USBFS, among other
things, to obtain prices from approved pricing sources to value securities
held
in the Trust’s investment portfolios; and
WHEREAS,
FT Interactive (“FTI”), which provides certain information and evaluations to
USBFS in connection with such pricing of securities (the “Data”), has requested
certain modifications of the Agreement with respect to the Data; and
WHEREAS,
the parties desire to modify the Agreement with respect to the Data; and
WHEREAS,
Section 9 of the Agreement allows for its modification by written agreement
executed by USBFS and the Trust;
NOW
THEREFORE, the parties hereby add and/or amend the following provisions of
the
Agreement as set forth below.
A. |
Section
19 shall be added to the Agreement to read in full as
follows:
|
19. |
License
of Data; Warranty; Termination of
Rights
|
A. |
The
Trust acknowledges the proprietary rights that USBFS and FTI have in
the
Data. The Trust acknowledges and agrees that (1) the Data are being
licensed, not sold, to the Trust; (2) the Trust has a limited license
to
use the Data only for purposes necessary to valuing the Trust’s assets and
reporting to regulatory bodies (the “License”); (3) the Trust does not
have any license nor right to use the Data for purposes beyond the
intentions of this Agreement including, but not limited to, resale
to
other users or use to create any type of historical database; (4) the
License in non-transferable and not sub-licensable; and (5) the Trust’s
right to use the Data cannot be passed to or shared with any other
entity.
|
B. |
THE
TRUST HEREBY ACCEPTS THE DATA AS IS, WHERE IS, WITH NO WARRANTIES,
EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, AS TO MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR ANY PURPOSE OR ANY
OTHER
MATTER.
|
C. |
USBFS
may stop supplying some or all Data to the Trust if FTI terminates
its
agreement to provide Data to USBFS. Also, USBFS may stop supplying
some or
all Data to the Trust if USBFS reasonably believes that the Trust is
using
the Data in violation of the License, or breaching its duties of
confidentiality provided for hereunder, or if FTI demands that the
Data be
withheld from the Trust. USBFS will provide notice to the Trust of
any
termination of provision of Data as soon as reasonably
possible.
|
1
B. Section
3, Pricing of Securities, shall be amended to label the existing provisions
thereof as paragraph “A” and to add a new paragraph “B” to read in full as
follows:
In
the
event that the Trust at any time receives Data containing evaluations, rather
than market quotations, for certain securities or certain other data related
to
such securities, the Trust acknowledges and agrees as follows with respect
to
such Data: (1) evaluated securities are typically complicated financial
instruments; (2) many methodologies (including computer-based analytical
modeling and individual security evaluations) are available to generate
approximations of the market value of such securities, and there is significant
professional disagreement about which method is best; (3) no evaluation method,
including those used by provided to USBFS by FTI, may consistently generate
approximations that correspond to actual “traded” prices of the securities; (4)
there may be errors or defects in the software, databases, or methodologies
generating such evaluations that may cause such evaluations to be inappropriate
for use in certain applications; and (5) subject to the provisions of Section
7,
the Trust is ultimately responsible for the appropriateness of using Data
containing evaluations, regardless of any efforts made by USBFS and FTI in
this
respect.
C. Section
7, Indemnification; Limitation of Liability, shall be amended to amend paragraph
“A” thereof to read in full as follows and to add new paragraphs “C” and “D”
thereof to read in full as follows:
A.
|
USBFS
shall exercise reasonable care in the performance of its duties under
this
Agreement. Neither USBFS nor FTI shall be liable for any error of
judgment
or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Trust (or, in the
case
of FTI, any third party) in connection with matters to which this
Agreement relates, including losses resulting in mechanical breakdowns
or
the failure of communication or power supplies beyond USBFS’s control,
except a loss arising out of or relating to USBFS’s refusal or failure to
comply with the terms of this Agreement or from bad faith, negligence,
or
willful misconduct on its part in the performance of its duties under
this
Agreement. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement,
if USBFS
has exercised reasonable care in the performance of its duties under
this
Agreement, the Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless USBFS and
FTI from
and against any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities
of any and every nature (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) that USBFS
or FTI may sustain or incur or that may be asserted against USBFS
or FTI
by any person arising out of or related to (X) any action taken or
omitted
to be taken by it in performing the services hereunder (i) in accordance
with the foregoing standards, or (ii) in reliance upon any written
or oral
instruction provided by USBFS by any duly authorized officer of the
Trust,
as approved by the Board of Trustees of the Trust, or (Y) the Data,
or any
information, service, report, analysis or publication derived therefrom,
except for any and all claims, demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities
arising out of or relating to USBFS’s refusal or failure to comply with
the terms of this Agreement or from its bad faith, negligence or
willful
misconduct in the performance of its duties under this
Agreement.

The
Trust
acknowledges that the Data are intended for use as an aid to institutional
investors, registered brokers or professionals of similar sophistication in
making informed judgments concerning securities. The Trust accepts
responsibility for, and acknowledges it exercises its own independent judgment
in, its selection of the Data, its selection of the use or intended use of
such,
and any results obtained. Nothing contained herein shall be deemed to be a
waiver of any rights existing under applicable law for the protection of
investors.
USBFS
shall indemnify and hold the Trust harmless from and against any and all claims,
demands, losses, expenses, and liabilities of any and every nature (including
reasonable attorneys’ fees) that the Trust may sustain or incur or that may be
asserted against the Trust by any person arising out of any action taken or
omitted to be taken by USBFS as a result of USBFS’s refusal or failure to comply
with the terms of this Agreement, or from its bad faith, negligence, or willful
misconduct in the performance of its duties under this Agreement.
In
the
event of a mechanical breakdown or failure of communication or power supplies
beyond its control, USBFS shall take all reasonable steps to minimize service
interruptions for any period that such interruption continues beyond USBFS’
control. USBFS will make every reasonable effort to restore any lost or damaged
data and correct any errors resulting from such a breakdown at the expense
of
USBFS. USBFS agrees that it shall, at all times, have reasonable contingency
plans with appropriate parties, making reasonable provision for emergency use
of
electrical data processing equipment to the extent appropriate equipment is
available. Representatives of the Trust shall be entitled to inspect USBFS’s
premises and operating capabilities at any time during regular business hours
of
USBFS, upon reasonable notice to USBFS. Moreover, USBFS shall provide the Trust,
at such times as the Trust may reasonable require, copies of reports rendered
by
independent accountants on the internal controls and procedures of USBFS
relating to the services provided by USBFS under this Agreement.
Notwithstanding
the above, USBFS reserves the right to reprocess and correct administrative
errors at its own expense.
In
no
case shall either party be liable to the other for any special, indirect or
consequential damages, loss of profits or goodwill (even if advised of the
possibility of such).
3
B. |
The
indemnity and defense provisions set forth in this Section shall
indefinitely survive the termination and/or assignment of this
Agreement.
|
C.
|
If
USBFS is acting in another capacity for the Trust pursuant to a separate
agreement, nothing herein shall be deemed to relieve USBFS of any
of its
obligations in such other capacity.
|
Except
to
the extent supplemented hereby, the Agreement shall remain in full force and
effect.
IN
WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have caused this Addendum to be executed
by
a duly authorized officer on one or more counterparts as of the date and year
first written above.
