Re: Consent to Assign Certain Agreement(s) regarding Xxxxx Fargo Funds and/or Strong Funds to Xxxxx Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC, a new distributor
Dear Xx. Xxxx Xxxxxx,
Thank you for reviewing the new agreement(s) sent to you earlier this year between your firm and Xxxxx Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC and, in some cases, Xxxxx Fargo Funds Management, LLC on behalf of the “new” Xxxxx Fargo fund family. The integration of the Xxxxx Fargo and Strong fund families will be completed on April 11th and unfortunately, we do not have a signed agreement in place for your firm yet.
In the interim, in order not to interrupt your dealer, shareholder servicing, and/or revenue sharing payments, we are requesting that you sign, xxxx and return this letter by Friday, April 8, 2005 to acknowledge an assignment of your past agreement(s) to Xxxxx Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC on behalf of the new Xxxxx Fargo fund family. This assignment will stay in effect until July 31, 2005 or until we receive an executed new agreement, whichever is sooner.
Please note that by signing this letter, you acknowledge that all current financial and operational terms and conditions of your existing Xxxxx Fargo or Strong funds related agreement(s) will be upheld. In cases where your firm had an agreement with both Strong and Xxxxx Fargo fund families, we will apply revenue sharing of your existing arrangements on a fund-by-fund-basis, based on the fund’s accounting survivor.
We look forward to finalizing the new agreement(s) with your firm as soon as possible, and appreciate your time and attention to this matter. Please fax this signed form to: Xxxxx Xxxxxxxxx at 000-000-0000.
Regards,
Xxxxx Fargo Funds Distributor, LLC
