WRSCO shall not be responsible for, and the Trust agrees to indemnify WRSCO for any losses, damages or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) (i) resulting from any claim, demand, action or suit not resulting from WRSCO’s failure to exercise good faith or due diligence and arising out of or in connection with WRSCO’s duties on behalf of the Trust hereunder; (ii) for any delay, error or omission by reason of circumstances beyond its control, including acts of civil or military authority, national emergencies, labor difficulties (except with respect to WRSCO’s employees), fire, mechanical breakdown beyond its control, flood or catastrophe, acts of God, insurrection, war, riots, terrorist attacks or failure beyond its control of transportation, communication or power supply; or (iii) for any action taken or omitted to be taken by WRSCO in good faith in reliance on (a) the authenticity of any instrument or communication reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been properly made and signed or endorsed by an appropriate person, (b) the accuracy of any records or information provided to it by the Trust, (c) any authorization or instruction contained in any officers’ instruction, or (d) with respect to the functions performed for the Trust listed under Paragraph 3(1) of this Agreement, any advice of counsel approved by the Trust who may be internally employed counsel or outside counsel, in either case for the Trust and/or WRSCO.

9. Termination.

(1) This Agreement may be terminated as to a Fund by WRSCO at any time without penalty upon giving the Trust 120 days’ written notice (which notice may be waived by the Trust) and may be terminated as to a Fund by the Trust at any time without penalty upon giving WRSCO sixty (60) days’ written notice (which notice may be waived by WRSCO), provided that such termination by the Trust shall be directed or approved by the vote of a majority of the Board of Trustees of the Trust in office at the time or by the vote of the holders of a majority (as defined in or under the Act) of the Fund.

(2) On termination, WRSCO will deliver to the Trust or its designee all files, documents and records of the affected Fund used, kept or maintained by WRSCO in the performance of its services hereunder, including such of the Funds’ records in machine readable form as may be maintained by WRSCO, as well as such summary and/or control data relating thereto used by or available to WRSCO.

(3) In the event of any termination which involves the appointment of a new shareholder servicing agent, including the Trust’s acting as such on its own behalf, the Trust shall have the non-exclusive right to the use of the data processing programs used by WRSCO in connection with the performance of its duties under this Agreement without charge.

(4) In addition, on such termination or in preparation therefore, at the request of the Trust and at the Trust’s expense WRSCO shall provide to the extent that its capabilities then permit such documentation, personnel and equipment as may be reasonably necessary in order for a new agent or the Trust to fully assume and commence to perform the agency functions described in this Agreement with a minimum disruption to the affected Fund’s activities.
