“Call Center Services.
(i) The Bank shall provide call center services from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Eastern Time, each day on which TIFF Investment Program, Inc. (“TIP”) is open for trading (a “Business Day”). On such Business Days, the Bank shall receive orders for the purchase of Shares and requests for the exchange, redemption, or transfer of Shares from existing Shareholders of TIP, advisers, and other authorized agents on behalf of such Shareholders. Such orders and requests received telephonically shall be accepted by the Bank only for the types of transactions for which TIP accepts telephonic instructions and only from those Shareholders who have been authorized by TIP for telephone transaction privileges as set forth in the Prospectus. Any such accepted orders and requests will be processed in accordance with subsections (i), (ii), (iii), (iv), and (v) of Section 1.2(a) of this Agreement and such other procedures or scripts as shall be agreed by TIP and the Bank from time to time. All such transactions shall be reported to TIP daily. Notwithstanding the foregoing, it shall be the sole responsibility of TIP to ensure that each such Shareholder, adviser or other authorized agent placing orders or requests by telephone has agreed to hold the Bank and any of its affiliates, and each of their respective directors, trustees, officers, employees and agents harmless from any losses, expenses, costs or liabilities (including attorney fees) that may be incurred in connection with the exercise of these privileges.”
