WHEREAS, Met Investors Series Trust, a Delaware statutory trust (“MIST”), and the Administrator entered into an Administration Agreement dated as of October 1, 2001, as amended, modified or supplemented from time to time (the “Original Administration Agreement”), pursuant to which the Administrator agreed to provide certain administrative services to MIST; and

WHEREAS, Metropolitan Series Fund, a Delaware statutory trust (“MSF”), desires to retain the Administrator to furnish certain administrative services to MSF, and the Administrator is willing to furnish such services to MSF, on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement; and

WHEREAS, the Administrator and each of MIST and MSF desire to amend and restate the Original Administration Agreement with this Agreement; and

The Trust will bear all expenses that are incurred in its operation and not specifically assumed by the Administrator. Expenses to be borne by the Trust, include, but are not limited to: organizational expenses; cost of services of independent accountants and outside legal and tax counsel (including such counsel’s review of the Trust’s Registration Statement, Form N-CSR, Form N-Q, Form N-MFP, Form N-SAR, proxy materials, federal and state tax qualification as a regulated investment company and other reports and materials prepared by the Administrator under this Agreement); cost of any services contracted for by the Trust directly from parties other than the Administrator; cost of trading operations and brokerage fees, commissions and transfer taxes in connection with the purchase and sale of securities for the Trust; investment advisory fees; taxes, insurance premiums and other fees and expenses applicable to its operation; costs incidental to any meetings of shareholders including, but not limited to, legal and accounting fees, proxy filing fees and the costs of preparation and EDGAR filing, printing and mailing of any proxy materials; costs incidental to Board meetings, including fees and expenses of Board members; the salary and expenses of any officer, director\trustee or employee of the Trust, other than employees of the

The Administrator is authorized to and may employ or associate with such person or persons as the Administrator may deem desirable to assist it in performing its duties under this Agreement; provided, however, that the compensation of such person or persons shall be paid by the Administrator and that the Administrator shall be as fully responsible to the Trust for the acts and omissions of any such person or persons as it is for its own acts and omissions.

 

7. INSTRUCTIONS AND ADVICE

At any time, the Administrator may apply to any officer of the Trust for instructions and may consult with its own legal counsel at its own expense or outside counsel for the Trust or the independent accountants for the Trust at the expense of the Trust, with respect to any matter arising in connection with the services to be performed by the Administrator under this Agreement. The Administrator shall not be liable, and shall be indemnified by the Trust, for any action taken or omitted by it in good faith in reliance upon any such instructions or advice or upon any paper or document reasonably believed by it to be genuine and to have been signed by the proper person or persons. The Administrator shall not be held to have notice of any change of authority of any person until receipt of written notice thereof from the Trust. Nothing in this paragraph shall be construed as imposing upon the Administrator any obligation to seek such instructions or advice, or to act in accordance with such advice when received.

 

8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND INDEMNIFICATION

The Administrator shall be responsible for the performance of only such duties as are set forth in this Agreement and, except as otherwise provided under Section 6, shall have no responsibility for the actions or activities of any other party, including other service providers. The Administrator shall have no liability in respect of any loss, damage or expense suffered by the Trust insofar as such loss, damage or expense arises from the performance of the Administrator’s duties hereunder in reliance upon records that were maintained for the Trust by entities other than the Administrator prior to the Administrator’s appointment as administrator for the Trust. The Administrator shall have no liability for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss or damage resulting from the performance or nonperformance of its duties hereunder unless solely caused by or resulting from the bad faith, negligence, willful misconduct or reckless disregard of the duties and obligations of the Administrator, its officers or employees. The Administrator shall not be liable for any special, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages of any kind whatsoever (including, without limitation, attorneys’ fees) under any provision of this Agreement. In any event,

 

7


except as otherwise agreed in writing, the Administrator’s cumulative liability for each calendar year (a “Liability Period”) with respect to the Trust under this Agreement regardless of the form of action or legal theory shall be limited to its total annual compensation earned and fees payable hereunder during the preceding Compensation Period, as defined herein, for any liability or loss suffered by the Trust including, but not limited to, any liability relating to qualification of the Trust as a regulated investment company or any liability relating to the Trust’s compliance with any federal or state tax or securities statute, regulation or ruling during such Liability Period. “Compensation Period” shall mean the calendar year ending immediately prior to each Liability Period in which the event(s) giving rise to the Administrator’s liability for that period have occurred. Notwithstanding the foregoing, with respect to MSF, the Compensation Period for purposes of calculating the annual cumulative liability of the Administrator for the Liability Period commencing on the date of this Agreement and terminating on December 31, 2012 shall be the date of this Agreement through December 31, 2012, calculated on an annualized basis, and the Compensation Period for the Liability Period commencing January 1, 2013 and terminating on December 31, 2013 shall be the date of this Agreement through December 31, 2012, calculated on an annualized basis.

Except as may arise from the Administrator’s bad faith, negligence, willful misconduct or reckless disregard of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, the Administrator shall not be responsible or liable for any failure or delay in performance of its obligations under this Agreement arising out of or caused, directly or indirectly, by circumstances beyond its control, including without limitation, work stoppage, power or other mechanical failure, computer virus, natural disaster, governmental action or communication disruption.

The Trust shall indemnify and hold the Administrator harmless from all loss, cost, damage and expense, including reasonable fees and expenses for counsel, incurred by the Administrator resulting from any claim, demand, action or suit in connection with the Administrator’s acceptance of this Agreement, any action or omission by it in the performance of its duties hereunder, or as a result of acting upon any instructions reasonably believed by it to have been duly authorized by the Trust, provided that this indemnification shall not apply to actions or omissions of the Administrator, its officers or employees in cases of its or their own bad faith, negligence, willful misconduct or reckless disregard of their duties and obligations.

The Trust will be entitled to participate at its own expense in the defense, or, if it so elects, to assume the defense of any suit brought to enforce any liability subject to the indemnification provided above. In the event the Trust elects to assume the defense of any such suit and retain counsel, the Administrator or any of its affiliated persons, named as defendant or defendants in the suit, may retain additional counsel but shall bear the fees and expenses of such counsel unless (i) the Trust shall have specifically authorized the retaining of such counsel or (ii) the Administrator shall have determined in good faith that the retention of such counsel is required as a result of a conflict of interest.

The indemnification contained herein shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

9. CONFIDENTIALITY

Neither party will use or disclose confidential information for purposes other than the activities contemplated by this Agreement or except as required by law, court process or pursuant to the lawful requirement of a governmental agency, or if the party is advised by counsel that it may incur liability for failure to make a disclosure, or except at the request or with the written consent of the other party.

The foregoing shall not be applicable to any information (i) that is publicly available when provided or thereafter becomes publicly available, other than through a breach of this Agreement, (ii) that is independently derived by a party hereto without the use of any information provided by the other party hereto in connection with this Agreement, (iii) that is required in any legal or regulatory proceeding, investigation, audit, examination, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process, or by operation of law or regulation, or (iv) where the party seeking to disclose has received the prior written consent of the party providing the information, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

The undertakings and obligations contained in this Section shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for a period of three (3) years.

 

10. COMPLIANCE WITH GOVERNMENTAL RULES AND REGULATIONS; RECORDS
