Administrative Services Agreement - Amendment # 1-21

ADMINISTRATIVE SERVICES AGREEMENT

          This Administrative Services Agreement (“Agreement”) is made as of December 12, 2002 by and among each of the investment companies in the Lord Xxxxxx Family of Funds, as set forth on Exhibit 1 hereto, and each new Lord Xxxxxx Fund added as a party to this Agreement pursuant to section 9, (each, a “Fund” or collectively, the “Funds”) and Lord, Xxxxxx & Co. LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Lord Xxxxxx”).

RECITALS

          A. WHEREAS, Lord Xxxxxx has entered into a Management Agreement with each Fund whereby Lord Xxxxxx provides investment management services to each Fund.

          B. WHEREAS, each Fund desires to retain Lord Xxxxxx to provide certain administrative services and Lord Xxxxxx is willing to provide, or arrange to have provided, such services upon the terms and conditions as hereinafter provided.

          NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants and of other good and valuable consideration, receipt of which is hereby acknowledged, it is agreed as follows:

          1. Agreement to Perform Administrative Services. Each Fund hereby employs Lord Xxxxxx under the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and Lord Xxxxxx hereby accepts such employment and agrees to perform the administrative services described below. It is understood that the persons employed by Lord Xxxxxx to assist in the performance of its duties hereunder will not devote their full time to such services, and may in fact devote a substantial portion of their time to the performance of duties relating to Lord Xxxxxx’x provision of services to other clients, and nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict the right of Lord Xxxxxx, its affiliates, and their respective employees, to engage in and devote time and attention to other business or to render services of whatever kind or nature to Lord Xxxxxx’x other clients.

          2. Lord Xxxxxx Services and Duties. Lord Xxxxxx will provide, or arrange to have provided in accordance with section 3 below, for each Fund those facilities, equipment, and personnel to carry out the administrative services which are described in Exhibit 2 hereto (“Administrative Services”). Lord Xxxxxx represents that it has sufficient personnel and experience to perform the Administrative Services, and agrees to perform such Administrative Services in accordance with industry standards for mutual fund administrators.

          In performing its duties under this Agreement, Lord Xxxxxx agrees that it shall observe and be bound by all of the provisions of (1) each Fund’s Articles of Incorporation/Declaration and Agreement of Trust and By-laws (including any amendments thereto) which in any way limit or restrict or prohibit or otherwise regulate any action by Lord Xxxxxx, (2) each Fund’s registration statement, and (3) the instructions and directions of the Boards of Directors/Trustees of each Fund. In addition, Lord Xxxxxx agrees and warrants that it will use its best efforts to conform to and comply with the requirements of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (“1940 Act”) and all other applicable federal and state laws and regulations.

          3. Lord Xxxxxx Subcontractors. It is understood that Lord Xxxxxx may from time to time employ or associate with such person or persons (“Subcontractors”) as Lord Xxxxxx may believe to be particularly fitted to assist in its performance of this Agreement; provided, however, that the compensation of such Subcontractors shall be paid by Lord Xxxxxx and that Lord Xxxxxx shall be as fully responsible to each Fund for the acts and omissions of any Subcontractor as it is for its own acts and omissions. Lord Xxxxxx shall use its best efforts to ensure that any Subcontractor complies with the provisions of section 2 above.

          4. Expenses Assumed. Except as otherwise set forth in this section 4 or as otherwise approved by the Funds’ Boards of Directors/Trustees, Lord Xxxxxx shall pay all expenses incurred by it in performing the Administrative Services, including the cost of providing office facilities, equipment and personnel related to such services. Each Fund will pay its own fees, costs, expenses or charges relating to its assets and operations, including without limitation: fees and expenses under the Management Agreement; fees and expenses of Directors/Trustees not affiliated with Lord Xxxxxx; governmental fees; interest charges; taxes; association membership dues; fees and charges for legal and auditing services; fees and expenses of any custodians or trustees with respect to custody of its assets; fees, charges and expenses of dividend disbursing agents, registrars and transfer agents (including the cost of keeping all necessary shareholder records and accounts, and of handling any problems relating thereto and the expense of furnishing to all shareholders statements of their accounts after every transaction, including the expense of mailing); costs and expenses of repurchase and redemption of its shares; costs and expenses of preparing, printing and mailing to shareholders ownership certificates, proxy statements and materials, prospectuses, reports and notices; costs of preparing reports to governmental agencies; brokerage fees and commissions of every kind and expenses in connection with the execution of portfolio security transactions (including the cost of any service or agency designed to facilitate the purchase and sale of portfolio securities); and all postage, insurance premiums, and any other fee, cost, expense or charge of any kind incurred by and on behalf of the Trust and not expressly assumed by Lord Xxxxxx under this Agreement or the Management Agreement.

          5. Compensation. For the services rendered, facilities furnished and expenses assumed by Lord Xxxxxx under this Agreement, each Fund will pay to Lord Xxxxxx an annual administrative services fee, computed and payable monthly, at the annual rate of .04% of the value of the Fund’s average daily net assets. Such value shall be calculated in the same manner as provided in each Fund’s Management Agreement. It is specifically understood and agreed that any fees for fund accounting services payable by the Funds to State Street Bank and Trust Company pursuant to that separate Custodian and Investment Accounting Agreement dated November 1, 2001 shall be paid directly by Lord Xxxxxx on behalf of the Funds. It is further understood and agreed that should the Funds’ regulatory environment change so that the costs to Lord Xxxxxx of providing Administrative Services increase or decrease significantly, then Lord Xxxxxx and the Funds’ Boards of Directors/Trustees will consider whether it would be appropriate to adjust the compensation under this Agreement.

          6. Standard of Care. Other than to abide by the provisions hereof and render the services called for hereunder in good faith, Lord Xxxxxx assumes no responsibility under this Agreement and, having so acted, Lord Xxxxxx shall not be held liable or accountable for any mistakes of law or fact, or for any error or omission of its officers, directors, members or employees, or for any loss or damage arising or resulting therefrom suffered by a Fund or any of its shareholders, creditors, Directors/Trustees or officers; provided however, that nothing herein shall be deemed to protect Lord Xxxxxx against any liability to the Fund or its shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith or gross negligence in the performance of its duties hereunder, or by reason of the reckless disregard of its obligations and duties hereunder.

          7. Conflicts of Interest. Neither this Agreement nor any other transaction between the parties hereto pursuant to this Agreement shall be invalidated or in any way affected by the fact that any of the Directors/Trustees, officers, shareholders, or other representatives of a Fund are or may be an interested person of Lord Xxxxxx, or any successor or assignee thereof, or that any or all of the officers, members, or other representatives of Lord Xxxxxx are or may be an interested person of the Fund, except as otherwise may be provided in the 1940 Act. Lord Xxxxxx in acting hereunder shall be an independent contractor and not an agent of the Funds.

          8. Effective Date and Termination. This Agreement shall become effective with respect to a Fund on January 1, 2003, or at such other date as may be set by the Fund’s Board of Directors/Trustees by resolution, and shall continue in force for two years from the date hereof, and is renewable annually thereafter by specific approval of the Directors/Trustees of the Fund or by vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities of the Fund; any such renewal shall be approved by the vote of a majority of the Directors/Trustees who are not parties to this Agreement or interested persons of Lord Xxxxxx or of the Fund, cast in person at a meeting called for the purpose of voting on such renewal.

          This Agreement may be terminated without penalty at any time by the Directors/Trustees of a Fund or by Lord Xxxxxx on 60 days’ written notice. This Agreement shall automatically terminate in the event of its assignment. The terms “interested persons,” “assignment” and “vote of a majority of the outstanding voting securities” shall have the same meaning as those terms are defined in the 1940 Act.

          9. Addition of New Funds to Agreement. In the event that a new fund is created in the Lord Xxxxxx Family of Funds and such fund wishes to engage Lord Xxxxxx to perform Administrative Services under this Ageement, such fund shall be entitled to do so by executing and delivering to Lord Xxxxxx a document accepting this Agreement. The employment of Lord Xxxxxx on behalf of any new fund shall become effective upon Lord Xxxxxx’x receipt of such counterpart executed by such new fund.

          10. Individual Liability. The obligations of each Company/Trust, including those imposed hereby, are not personally binding upon, nor shall resort be had to the private property of, any of the Directors/Trustees, shareholders, officers, employees or agents of the Company/Trust individually, but are binding only upon the assets and property of the Company/Trust. Any and all personal liability, either at common law or in equity, or by statute or constitution, of every such Director/Trustee, shareholder, officer, employee or agent for any breach by the Company/Trust of any agreement, representation or warranty hereunder is hereby expressly waived as a condition of and in consideration for the execution of this Agreement by the Company/Trust.

          11. Liability of Funds Several and not Joint. The obligations of a Fund under this Agreement are enforceable solely against that Fund and its assets.

          12. Delaware Law. This Agreement shall be construed and the provisions interpreted under and in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.

          IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties has caused this Agreement to be executed in its name and on its behalf by its duly authorized representative.
