Dominion Capital Corporation
Bank Shareholder Service Agreement
We desire to enter into an Agreement with Dominion Capital Corporation (the
"Distributor"), for the servicing of our agency clients who are shareholders of,
and the administration of such shareholder accounts in the shares ("Shares") of
Dominion Funds, Inc. (the "Company"), Dominion Insight Growth Fund Series (the
"Fund"). Subject to the Distributor's acceptance of this Agreement, the terms
and conditions of this Agreement shall be as follows:
1. We shall provide shareholder and administration services for holders of
the Shares who are also our clients. Such services to our clients may include,
without limitation, some or all of the following: answering shareholder
inquiries regarding the Shares and the Company; performing sub-accounting;
establishing and maintaining shareholder accounts and records; processing and
bunching customer purchase and redemption transactions; providing periodic
statements showing a shareholder's account balance and the integration of such
statements with those of other transactions and balances in the shareholder's
account balance and the integration of such statements with those of other
transactions and balances in the shareholder's other accounts serviced by use;
forwarding applicable Company prospectuses, proxy statements, reports and
notices to our clients who are holders of Shares; and such other administrative
services as you reasonably may request, to the extent we are permitted by
applicable statute, rule or regulation to provide such services.
2. Shares purchased by us as agents for our clients will be registered
(choose one)(in our name or in the name of our nominee) (in the names of our
client). The client will be the beneficial owner of the Shares purchased and
held by us in accordance with the client's instructions and the client may
exercise all applicable rights of a holder of such Shares. We agree to transmit
to the Company's transfer agent, in a timely manner, all purchase orders and
redemption requests of our clients and to forward to each client any proxy
statements, periodic shareholder reports and other communications received from
the Company by us on behalf of our clients. The Distributor agrees to pay all
reasonable out-of-pocket expense actually incurred by us in connection with the
transfer by us of such proxy statements and reports to our clients. We agree to
transfer record ownership of a client's Shares to the client promptly upon the
request of a client. In addition, record ownership will be promptly transferred
to the client in the event that the person or entity ceases to be our client.
3. Within five (5) business days of placing a purchase order we agree to
send (i) a cashiers check to the Distributor, or (ii) a wire transfer to the
Company's transfer agent, in an amount equal to the amount of all purchase
orders placed by us on behalf of our clients and accepted by the Company.
4. We agree to make available to the Company, upon the Company's request,
such information relating to our clients who are beneficial owners of Shares and
their transactions in such Shares as may be required by applicable laws and
regulations or as may be reasonably requested by the Company. The names of our
customers shall remain our sole property and shall not be used by the Company
for any purpose except as needed for servicing and information mailings in the
normal course of business to holders of the Shares.
5. We shall provide such facilities and personnel (which may be all or any
part of the facilities currently used in our business, or all or any personnel
employed by us) as may be necessary or beneficial in carrying out the purposes
of this Agreement.
6. Except as may be provided in a separate written agreement between
Dominion Capital Corporation and us, neither we nor any of our employees or
agents are authorized to assist in distribution of any of the Company's Shares
except those contained in the then current applicable Company Prospectus
applicable to the Shares; and we shall have no authority to act as agent for the
Company. Neither the Company, Dominion Advisors, Inc. nor Dominion Capital
Corporation will be a party, nor will they be represented as a party, to any
agreement that we may enter into with our clients and neither the Company nor
they shall participate, directly or indirectly, in any compensation that we may
receive from our clients in connection with our acting on their behalf with the
Company.
7. In consideration of the service and facilities described herein, we
shall receive from the Company an annual service fee, payable semi-annually, in
an amount equal to twenty-five one-hundredths of one percent (0.25%) of the
aggregate average net asset value of the Shares owned beneficially by our
clients during each payment period; provided, however, that no payment shall be
made if the amount due to us is less than $100. We understand that this
Agreement and the payment of such service fees has been authorized and approved
by the Board of Directors of the Company.
8. The Company reserves the right, at its discretion and without notice, to
suspend the sale of any Shares or withdraw the sale of Shares.
9. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by the Company on not less
than 15 day's written notice to us at our principal place of business. We, on 15
days' written notice addressed to the Company at its principal place of
business, may terminate this Agreement. The Company may also terminate this
Agreement for cause on violation by us of any of the provisions of this
Agreement, said termination to become effective on the date of mailing notice to
us of such termination. The Company's failure to terminate for any cause shall
not constitute a waiver of the Company's right to terminate automatically in the
event of its assignment, the term "assignment" for this purpose having the
meaning defined in Section 2(a)(4) of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as
amended.
