This Section shall survive termination of the Agreement. Prior to any such destruction, State Street shall provide to ABA RF a copy of any such Program Data and Records to be destroyed by State Street. The copy shall be in electronic or such other form as may be reasonably requested by ABA RF; provided, however, that ABA RF shall pay the reasonable expenses associated with making such copy if the format requested is not the standard format in which State Street maintains such Program Data and

State Street further agrees, and it shall take any and all action as shall be necessary to require, that any obligation imposed on it hereunder shall also be assumed by any Affiliate it designates to perform any activity hereunder, and to the extent of such designation, ABA RF shall have the same rights with respect to such Affiliate as ABA RF has with respect to State Street. In furtherance thereof, but not as a limitation, State Street agrees each such Affiliate shall be subject to, and that it shall take any and all action as shall be necessary to cause each such Affiliate to be subject to all the provisions of this Article 10 and Sections 12.04, 12.05, 12.06, 12.07, 12.10, 14.06, 14.08 and 14.09, as if such Affiliate were a party to this Agreement.

The trust management and administration fee shall be in consideration of Trustee Services (not including any services performed by the Program Recordkeeper) other than management of (i) the index funds and the index portions of other relevant Funds, (ii) retirement date funds described in the Prospectus and (iii) SARF. The Index Management Fee shall be in consideration of State Street’s investment management services relating to the assets in the index funds and the indexed portions of the other relevant Funds. Appendix A shall set forth all of the fees payable to State Street in connection with the Program, including, without limitation, any amounts payable under Section 10.14, and no provision of the Recordkeeping Agreement, the ABA Members Collective Trust or the Trusts shall entitle State Street to additional compensation. Nothing in this Section shall preclude the payment of expenses of the Program or Plans to the extent permitted by Section 11.04.

11.02 ABA RF’s Fees. ABA RF shall be compensated under the Program in accordance with the terms contained in Appendix B hereto, which fees as of June 18, 2009 shall relate only to the Investment Options and Closed Options, services and obligations of ABA RF under the Employer Plans and under this Agreement. The fee schedule set forth in Appendix B may be increased only by written notification of such increase to all Employers, and shall not be effective less than sixty (60) days after such notification.

11.03 Additional Services. State Street’s obligations to perform services not required or agreed to under this Agreement shall be conditioned on ABA RF’s agreement to allow State Street to charge a reasonable fee for such services. If the cost to State Street to provide additional services is minimal both individually and in the aggregate (from the Amendment Date through the date such services are contemplated) then State Street shall be deemed to have waived its right to an additional reasonable fee pursuant to this Section. If ABA RF and State Street are unable to reach agreement under this Section within ninety (90) days of commencing negotiations, they shall submit the fee for such services to arbitration in accordance with Section 14.11 and State Street shall provide such services, pending the results of arbitration, for the last fee it proposed for such services prior to submitting to arbitration, subject to retroactive adjustments based upon the fee as determined by arbitration.

11.04 Expenses.

(a) General. Expenses of operation of the Program, the Plans, the Trusts and the ABA Members Collective Trust, as are permitted by applicable laws and regulations and this Agreement, shall be charged to and paid from the assets of the Trusts or the ABA Members Collective Trust (and charged to each Investment Option), for which such expenses are incurred. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, such expenses shall include but are not limited to (i) brokers’ fees and commissions, (ii) transfer and other taxes, (iii) custodians’ fees (including without limitation custodians’ fees paid to State Street and its Affiliates, to the extent permitted by applicable law, including without limitation, the prohibitions of Part 4 of Title I of ERISA), (iv) Securities and Exchange Commission fees, (v) state securities registration fees, (vi) Internal Revenue Service user fees, (vii) fees and expenses paid pursuant to any Investment Advisor Agreement, (viii) fees and expenses paid to the Investment Fiduciary engaged pursuant to the

To the extent that State Street pays any expenses with respect to a particular Investment Option or Closed Option which are properly chargeable pursuant to this Section to a Trust or the ABA Members Collective Trust, as the case may be, it shall be entitled to reimbursement therefrom.

(b) Budgets. Not later than the meeting of the Board held in the fourth quarter of the preceding year, State Street shall present ABA RF a detailed budget of each of the categories of expenses, including without limitation, the categories listed in subsection (a) above, to be charged to the ABA Members Collective Trust or the Trusts for the next calendar year. At each meeting of the Board during such calendar year, State Street shall deliver a status report listing the categories of expense and expenses incurred to date as compared to such budget. ABA RF may make comments and recommendations with respect to such budgets and status reports, and State Street shall give full consideration thereto. Any item of expense properly chargeable to the Trusts or the ABA Members Collective Trust under Section 11.04 may be so charged even if State Street fails to include an item of expense in such Budget or if such expense items exceed such budget; provided that such expenses are approved by ABA RF in accordance with Section 11.04(d) below.

(c) Amortization Schedules. If State Street shall determine that any expenses otherwise chargeable to the ABA Members Collective Trust or the Trusts are to be amortized over a period of months or years, State Street shall prior to the commencement of such amortization provide to ABA RF a detailed schedule of such expenses, the period of amortization and the reasons therefor. ABA RF may make comments and suggestions with respect to the need for and the structure of any such amortization schedule, and State Street shall give full consideration thereto. If an unknown item of expense or an adjustment of any expense is uncovered after such amortization schedule has been approved by ABA RF, then State Street shall provide ABA RF with a detailed schedule of such expenses and adjustments and the period of amortization and the reasons therefor.

(d) Notice of Certain Expenses. State Street shall not charge any item of expense in excess of $25,000 against the Trusts or the ABA Members Collective Trust not described in clauses (i) through (xiii) of Section 11.04(a) above (or seek reimbursement thereof) without providing to ABA RF written notice thereof setting forth a description of such expense and the reason State Street believes such expense should be paid by the Trusts or the ABA Members Collective Trust, as the case may be, unless such expense is included in and not in excess of the appropriate amount budgeted pursuant to Section 11.04(b) above.

(e) Certain Expenses not Chargeable. For purposes of this Section 11.04, expenses of operation of the Program, the Plans, the Trusts and the ABA Members Collective Trust shall not include salaries, fringe benefits, taxes and overhead attributable to the ABA RF

Program Services Unit or other personnel or operations of State Street or its Affiliates, or travel expenses of any such personnel.

ARTICLE 12 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

12.01 Limitation of Liability for Instructions from Participants, Employers, Investors, or the Program Recordkeeper Pursuant to the Program Interface Agreement. Except as otherwise provided by laws or regulations, neither ABA RF nor State Street (in each of its various capacities under the Program) shall be liable for any act or omission made in accordance with its obligations under this Agreement, the ABA Members Collective Trust, the ABA Members Plans, the Trusts or the Program Interface Agreement to the extent that such act or omission was made in good faith, without negligence, and in accordance with an instruction or information provided by a Participant, Employer, Investor, or the Program Recordkeeper pursuant to the Program Interface Agreement, where the party in question had no reason to believe that such instruction or such information was unauthorized or incorrect.

12.02 Limitation of Liability For Instructions From ABA RF. Except as otherwise provided by laws or regulations, State Street (in each of its various capacities under the Program) shall not be liable to ABA RF (or other Indemnified Persons) for any act or omission made in good faith, without negligence, and in accordance with the express advance written approval or instructions of ABA RF under this Agreement.

12.03 Limitation of Liability for Acts of Third Parties. Except as otherwise provided by laws or regulations, neither ABA RF nor State Street (in each of its various capacities under the Program) shall be liable for any act or omission of any person or entity (other than an affiliate of ABA RF, in the case of ABA RF, or an Affiliate, in the case of State Street), that acts or has acted as a fiduciary or service provider to a Plan, a Trust or the ABA Members Collective Trust pursuant to delegation of fiduciary responsibility under such Plan or trust, this Agreement or the Investment Manager Agreements. State Street shall not be liable for any act or omission of Equitable or the Program Recordkeeper, except to the extent that the Program Recordkeeper’s act or omission was based on any act or omission of State Street as to which State Street is not entitled to the limitation of liability set forth in Section 12.01 hereof; provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall relieve State Street for any liability incurred under the Existing Agreement before the date hereof.

12.04 Indemnification. State Street agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless ABA RF, its then-present and former officers, directors, advisory directors, employees, the ABA, and its then present and former officers, and the Board of Governors (the “Indemnified Persons”) against any and all expenses (including attorneys’ fees, subject to Section 12.05), judgments, fines, penalties (including any civil penalties assessed under Section 502(1) of ERISA) and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or current action, suit, proceeding or claim, whether civil, criminal, administrative or otherwise, and the amount of any adverse judgment entered against any of them and reasonable expenses attendant thereto by reason of any of State Street’s acts or omissions in connection with the Program, subject to the limitations of Sections 12.01, 12.02 and 12.03. For the above defense, indemnity and hold harmless provision to apply (a) the Indemnified Persons shall inform State Street promptly of any claims threatened or made against any Indemnified Person,

(b) the Indemnified Persons shall cooperate fully with State Street in responding to such threatened or actual claims, and (c) any settlement agreement shall require the written approval of State Street, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. This Section shall survive termination of this Agreement.

12.05 Counsel for Indemnified Persons. State Street agrees to cooperate fully with the Indemnified Persons in responding to any threatened or actual claims. Each Indemnified Person shall have the right to employ counsel in its, his or her sole discretion. However, none of State Street, the Trusts nor the ABA Members Collective Trust shall be liable (a) for any legal or other expenses incurred in connection with any such threatened, pending or current action, suit, proceeding or claim (whether civil, criminal, administrative or otherwise), or defense to any of the foregoing, that were not specifically authorized by State Street or (b) for reasonable attorneys’ fees for the Indemnified Persons unless State Street shall have received a written opinion reasonably acceptable in form and substance to State Street of counsel reasonably acceptable to State Street (and which counsel shall not represent or otherwise be affiliated with any of the Indemnified Persons) that there exists a material conflict of interest either (y) between (i) such Indemnified Persons and (ii) State Street or (z) among such Indemnified Persons, each in the conduct of the response to a threatened claim or in the conduct of the defense of an actual claim in which event State Street shall be liable for the reasonable legal expenses of each counsel whose appointment is necessary to resolve such conflict; provided, however, that if any threatened, pending or current action, suit, proceeding or claim, or defense to any of the foregoing is civil in nature, State Street, the Trusts and the ABA Members Trusts, collectively, shall not be responsible for the reasonable attorneys’ fees with respect to more than one (1) counsel for all Indemnified Persons, collectively.

12.06 Contribution. In order to provide for just and equitable contribution in circumstances in which the terms of Section 12.04 are applicable, but the indemnification provided for therein is held for any reason to be unavailable or unenforceable, the Indemnified Persons shall contribute to the aggregate expenses (including attorneys’ fees, subject to Section 12.05), judgments, fines, penalties (including any civil penalties assessed under Section 502(1) of ERISA) and amounts paid in settlement, actually and reasonably incurred in connection with any threatened, pending or current action, suit, proceeding or claim, whether civil, criminal, administrative or otherwise, which such Indemnified Persons and State Street may be subject to or liable for, in the following proportions: the Indemnified Persons collectively shall contribute one-one thousandth of one percent (0.001%) of such losses, claims, damages, expenses and liabilities, and State Street shall contribute the balance thereof. State Street shall have no other right of contribution from any of the Indemnified Persons.

12.07 Enforcement of Rights. If an Indemnified Person is reasonably required to bring any action to enforce rights or collect monies due under this Article and is successful in such action, State Street shall reimburse such Indemnified Person or its subrogee for reasonable fees (including attorneys’ fees in accordance with Section 12.05) and expenses incurred in bringing and pursuing such action.

12.08 Supplemental Indemnification. Indemnification pursuant to this Article is intended to be supplemental to any other rights to indemnification available to the Indemnified

Persons. Nothing herein shall be deemed to diminish or otherwise restrict the Indemnified Persons’ rights to indemnification under applicable laws.

12.09 Interests of ABA Members Collective Trust, Trusts and ABA Members Plans. In accordance with the ABA Members Collective Trust and the Trusts, State Street shall, whenever in its judgment any interest of the Program so requires, acting on behalf of the ABA Members Collective Trust or the Trusts, (a) settle, compromise, abandon or submit to arbitration any claim or demand, or (b) commence or defend any suit or legal proceeding. State Street shall represent the ABA Members Collective Trust and the Trusts in any arbitration, suit or legal proceeding in any court or before any other body or tribunal. ABA RF, as sponsor of the ABA Members Plans, shall represent the ABA Members Plans in any arbitration, suit or legal proceeding in any court or before any other body or tribunal; provided, however, that if State Street, the Trusts or the ABA Members Collective Trust is also involved in such arbitration, suit, or legal proceeding, State Street shall control the arbitration, suit or legal proceeding on behalf of the Program (except to the extent provided in 12.04 and 12.05), including but not limited to selecting counsel, determining the appropriate litigation strategy, and determining (to the extent possible) the forum for such arbitration, suit or proceeding, provided that State Street shall from time to time (not less than quarterly) inform ABA RF of the progress of such litigation and ABA RF shall have the right to make suggestions and comments regarding State Street’s control of such litigation.

12.10 Payment of Expenses. Expenses (including attorneys’ fees) specifically authorized by State Street pursuant to Section 12.05 and actually and reasonably incurred by the Indemnified Persons in defending against or responding to such threatened or actual claims shall be paid by State Street as they are incurred. State Street may charge such expenses and any expenses pursuant to Section 12.09, each to the extent appropriate, as expenses of the Trusts and the ABA Members Collective Trust (to the extent provided in Section 11.04); provided, however, that State Street may do so only (a) if the gravamen of the action, suit, proceeding or claim is principally the result of State Street, the Program, the Trusts, the Plans or the Collective Trust being a stakeholder or (b) in any other case in which a gravamen of the complaint is not an alleged breach of this Agreement or duty by State Street; provided, further, that to the extent appropriate, such expenses shall be charged to the particular Plan or affected Participant’s account involved in the action, suit, proceeding or claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, expenses resulting from any threatened, pending or current action, suit, proceeding or claim, or defense to any of the foregoing, relating principally to an act or omission of Equitable, to the extent that they are not covered by and paid under the Administrative Services Agreement between Equitable and ABA RF dated October 4, 1985, shall be charged as expenses of the Trusts and the ABA Collective Trust.

13.01 Termination as of the Effective Date (as defined in the Succession Agreement). This Agreement shall terminate immediately upon the Effective Date (as defined in the Succession Agreement).

13.02 Termination by ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ may terminate this Agreement at or after the earlier to occur of (a) the close of business on September 30, 2011 (provided, that if on such date any “Transfer Event” as defined in the Succession Agreement has occurred and is then continuing, then such date shall be extended to March 31, 2012) or (b) the date on or after

Any such termination shall be effected by written notice (which may be delivered in advance of the dates specified above) to ABA RF at least six (6) months in advance of the termination date.

ARTICLE 14 MISCELLANEOUS

14.01 Service Standards. State Street shall perform each and every of its duties and responsibilities hereunder in accordance with the highest standard of care applicable to persons performing services of the type required hereunder and shall always apply the best practices reasonably available to it when carrying out such duties and responsibilities. State Street and ABA RF may identify certain of the services to be performed by State Street pursuant to this Agreement, the performance of which shall be governed by the Service Standards as may be agreed to by State Street and ABA RF. If State Street shall in any agreement with another client of comparable size (as measured by assets or number of participants) agree to comply with a higher standard of performance than that required by the applicable Service Standards, State Street shall promptly notify ABA RF of such event, the applicable Service Standards shall be deemed to have been automatically amended to include such higher standard of performance.

14.02 Plan Disqualification. If it is determined that a Plan does not meet the requirements for qualification under the Code, State Street may withdraw from the Funds any or all amounts attributable to that Plan and pay such amounts as directed by the Program Recordkeeper and as required by the Plans and Trusts and in accordance with applicable law.

14.03 Agents of ABA RF. With respect to any provision of this Agreement, but subject to applicable laws and regulations, the Board may designate in writing to State Street one or more authorized representatives to act on behalf of ABA RF, in which case State Street shall be entitled to communicate with such representatives, until such time as ABA RF provides written notice to the contrary, and actions by such representatives shall be binding on all parties.

14.04 Good Faith. Both ABA RF and State Street shall have an obligation to consent, respond, agree, provide notice, give and consider comments or recommendations, negotiate, approve, cooperate and otherwise act in good faith and on a reasonably timely basis with respect to each provision of this Agreement, the ABA Members Collective Trust and the Trusts. Even if not expressly stated herein, no consent, approval or endorsement of ABA RF or State Street under this Agreement shall be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

14.05 Compliance with Laws. State Street shall comply, shall cause the ABA Members Collective Trust and the Trusts to comply and shall cooperate in assisting ABA RF and any other person or entity providing such services in complying with all applicable employee benefit, securities, banking and insurance laws and regulations.

14.06 Audits. As sponsor of the ABA Members Plans and on behalf of Participants, Employers and Investors, ABA RF may, for the purpose of providing assurance that State Street is fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement, the ABA Members Collective Trust and the Trusts, at any time and from time to time, audit (either by itself or through auditors it may appoint), the facilities, operations and Plan records of State Street that relate to State Street’s fulfillment of its duties, responsibilities and obligations under this Agreement, the ABA Members Collective Trust and the Trusts. State Street shall cooperate with ABA RF or auditors appointed by ABA RF for such purpose. The cost of such audit shall be paid from ABA RF’s own funds unless such audit discloses an error in Program accounting or records that requires an adjustment to Participants’ accounts, a change in State Street’s internal accounting procedures or discloses State Street’s failure to comply with Service Standards, in which case State Street shall pay such cost. Nothing in this Section shall give ABA RF the right to a financial audit of State Street.

14.07 Amendment. This Agreement and Section 6.08 of the ABA Members Collective Trust may be amended only by a written instrument executed by ABA RF and State Street. All Participants, Employers and Investors shall be deemed to have consented to any such amendment and shall have no right to withhold such consent.

14.08 Assignment; Change of Control. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Section 14.08, neither ABA RF nor State Street may assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement, any Investment Advisor Agreement or any Investment Manager Agreement without the other’s prior written consent. For purposes of this Section, a merger, reorganization or transfer of substantially all of the assets of ABA RF to a successor organization shall not constitute an “assignment” of this Agreement, but any “Change of Control”, as defined in this Section 14.08, of State Street, or State Street Corporation, shall constitute an “assignment” of this Agreement and entitle ABA RF to terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 13.04, but with such notice period as ABA RF shall determine in its sole discretion. For purposes of this Section:

(a) a Change of Control of State Street shall be deemed to occur if and when:

(i) a merger, consolidation or reorganization of State Street or the transfer of substantially all its assets to a successor organization occurs, unless State Street is the survivor in any such transaction, and after such transaction, State Street is controlled by State Street Corporation; or

(ii) any plan or proposal for the liquidation of State Street is adopted by its stockholders;

(b) a Change of Control of State Street Corporation shall be deemed to occur if and when:

(i) a merger, consolidation or reorganization of State Street Corporation or the transfer of substantially all its assets to a successor organization occurs, unless State Street Corporation is the survivor in any such transaction and (A) it is not controlled by another organization and (B) persons who were shareholders of State Street Corporation immediately before such transaction own more than 50% of the combined voting power of State Street Corporation immediately after such transaction;

(ii) any person, including a “person” as such term is used in Section 14(d)(2) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”), is or becomes a beneficial owner (as such term is defined in rule 13-d(3) under the 1934 Act), directly or indirectly, of securities of State Street Corporation, representing more than 50% of the combined voting power of State Street Corporation’s outstanding securities;

(iii) any plan or proposal for the liquidation of State Street Corporation is adopted by the stockholders of State Street Corporation; or

(iv) all or substantially all of the assets of State Street Corporation are sold, liquidated or distributed.

14.09 Choice of Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois applicable to agreements to be performed in that state; provided, however, that (a) the ABA Members Collective Trust and the Trusts shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts, (b) the ABA Members Plans shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the applicable laws of the State of Illinois and (c) in the event of a conflict of laws in any dispute between (i) this Agreement and (ii) any of the ABA Members Collective Trust, the Trusts or the ABA Members Plans, the laws of The Commonwealth of Massachusetts shall govern (without regard to choice of law principles thereunder).

14.10 Resolution of Disputes. The parties agree to address disagreements and disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or the breach thereof through the procedures set forth in this paragraph before resorting to arbitration. Each party shall designate an employee who will be the initial contact for resolving disputes. Each party shall raise any questions, disagreements or disputes falling within the scope of this Section with the designated employee of the other party. The designated employees will work together to resolve the relevant issue in a manner that meets the interests of both parties, or until the issue is referred to designated officers of the parties as set forth below. Each party shall also designate an officer or director who will review disagreements or disputes that the designated employees are unable to resolve. These officers will work together to resolve the disputes so referred in a manner that meets the interests of both parties, either until such agreement is reached, or until an impasse is declared by either party.

14.11 Arbitration of Disputes. Any dispute or controversy between ABA RF and State Street arising under, out of, in connection with or in relation to this Agreement (whether or not arising under provisions specifically referring to this Section), the ABA Members Collective Trust, the Trusts or the ABA Members Plans, and any amendments thereof, other than any such dispute or controversy arising in connection with any third party claim, or the breach thereof, shall be determined and settled by arbitration to be held in a location agreeable to State Street and ABA RF (or, if no location is agreed upon, in Chicago, Illinois) in accordance with the rules then in effect for commercial disputes according to the commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association; provided, however, that in the discretion of the arbitrator, hearings may be held at such locations as are convenient for the witnesses. In connection with any such arbitration, if State Street and ABA RF are unable to agree on a single arbitrator, then State Street and ABA RF shall each appoint one arbitrator and the two arbitrators so appointed shall appoint a third arbitrator. If either State Street or ABA RF fails to appoint an arbitrator, or if the two arbitrators fail to appoint a third arbitrator, then the American Arbitration Association (or a similar organization agreeable to ABA RF and State Street) shall appoint such arbitrator or arbitrators. Any award rendered by such arbitration or arbitrators may include an assessment of expenses (including attorneys’ fees and arbitration fees) and shall be conclusive and binding on each and all of the parties, and judgment may be entered thereon by a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing herein shall preclude either party from obtaining injunctive relief in appropriate circumstances, provided that after any grant of such relief, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with the procedures set forth in this Section.

14.12 Notice. All notices, requests or other communications to be given by ABA RF or State Street to the other under this Agreement shall be considered properly given if (a) delivered
