Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Agreement.
WHEREAS, Bank of America, N.A., the indirect parent company of CMA has entered into an agreement to sell the long-term asset management business of Columbia Management Group, LLC, including that portion of CMA’s business that relates to the management of the Funds, to Ameriprise Financial, Inc., the parent company of CMIA;
WHEREAS, immediately following the closing of such sale (the “Closing”), CMIA will act as advisor to the Funds;
WHEREAS, CMA seeks Supplier’s consent to assign its rights and obligations under the Agreement to CMIA; and
WHEREAS, the parties hereto desire to amend certain provisions of the Agreement as set forth below to effect the assignment from CMA to CMIA of its rights and obligations under the Agreement.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged), the parties hereto agree as follows:
SECTION 1. ASSIGNMENT.
1.1. Consent to Assignment. The Supplier hereby consents to and approves of the assignment by CMA of its duties, rights and obligations under the Agreement to CMIA pursuant to section 20.0 of the Agreement. CMA hereby assigns to CMIA all of its duties, rights, obligations and future liabilities under the Agreement arising on or after the Closing, and CMIA hereby accepts such assignment.
1.2. Release. From and after the Closing, Supplier agrees to release CMA from any and all further duties, rights, obligations or liabilities under the Agreement arising out of any fact, act, omission, event, circumstance or condition occurring or commencing on or after the date of the Closing. All duties, rights, obligations or liabilities of CMA under the Agreement arising out of any fact, act, omission, event, circumstance or condition occurring or commencing before the date of the Closing remain the responsibility of CMA.
SECTION 2. AMENDMENT. The Agreement shall be amended as follows:
2.1. References to CMA Changed to CMIA. All references to CMA in the Agreement are replaced with references to CMIA (expected to be known as Columbia Management Investment Advisers, LLC following the Closing).
2.2. Amend Notice Addresses. The notice addresses appearing on page two of the Agreement for Supplier, CMA or any Fund are deleted and replaced in their entirety with the addresses appearing on Exhibit A for Supplier, CMIA or any Fund.
2.3. Relationship Manager. Pursuant to section 2.5 of the Agreement, CMIA and Supplier hereby appoint as Relationship Managers the persons listed on Exhibit B hereto.
2.4. Continuing Effectiveness. The amendments to the Agreement set forth in this Section 2 shall be deemed to be amendments to the Agreement, and the Agreement, as amended hereby, is hereby ratified, approved and confirmed in all respects.
2.5. Waiver of Any Notice Requirement. The parties hereby waive any notice that they may have been entitled to under the Agreement due to the amendments described in this Amendment.
SECTION 3. MISCELLANEOUS.
3.1. Execution in Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed by the parties hereto in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement.
3.2. Governing Law. This Amendment shall be governed by the internal laws, and not by the laws regarding conflicts of laws, of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Each party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of such state, and waives any objection to venue with respect to actions brought in such courts.
3.3. Successors and Assigns. This Amendment shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns.
3.4. Effectiveness. This Amendment shall take effect upon the Closing, and shall be of no force or effect in the event the Closing does not take place.
3.5. Notice. This Amendment is executed by an officer of each Fund, as an officer and not individually, and the obligations of this Amendment with respect to the Funds shall be binding upon the assets and properties of the Funds only and shall not be binding upon any of the trustees, officers, employees, agents or shareholders of the Funds individually.
