Item 29. Persons Controlled by or Under Common Control with the Trust

AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company (“AXA Equitable”) controls the Trust by virtue of its ownership of more than 99% of the Trust’s shares as of December 31, 2009. All shareholders of the Trust are required to solicit instructions from their respective contract owners as to certain matters, if applicable. The Trust may in the future offer its shares to insurance companies unaffiliated with AXA Equitable.

On July 22, 1992, AXA Equitable converted from a New York mutual life insurance company to a publicly-owned New York stock life insurance company. At that time AXA Equitable became a wholly owned subsidiary of AXA Financial, Inc. (“AXA Financial”). AXA Financial continues to own 100% of AXA Equitable’s common stock. On September 7, 2004 the name “The Equitable Life Assurance Society of the United States” was changed to “AXA Equitable Life Insurance Company”.

AXA owns, directly or indirectly through its affiliates, 100% of the outstanding common stock of AXA Financial. AXA is the holding company for an international group of insurance and related financial services companies. AXA’s insurance operations include activities in life insurance, property and casualty insurance and reinsurance. The insurance operations are diverse geographically, with activities principally in Western Europe, North America, and the Asia/Pacific area and, to a lesser extent, in Africa and South America. AXA is also engaged in asset management, investing banking, securities trading, brokerage, real estate and other financial services activities principally in the United States, as well as in Western Europe and the Asia/Pacific area.

 

Item 30. Indemnification

Registrant’s Amended and Restated Agreement and Declaration of Trust (“Declaration of Trust”) and By-Laws.

Article VII, Section 2 of the Declaration of Trust of EQ Advisors Trust (“Trust”) states, in relevant part, that a “Trustee, when acting in such capacity, shall not be personally liable to any Person, other than the Trust or a Shareholder to the extent provided in this Article VII, for any act, omission or obligation of the Trust, of such Trustee or of any other Trustee. The Trustees shall not be responsible or liable in any event for any neglect or wrongdoing of any officer, agent, employee, Manager, or Principal Underwriter of the Trust. The Trust shall indemnify each Person who is serving or has served at the Trust’s request as a director, officer, trustee, employee, or agent of another organization in which the Trust has any interest as a shareholder, creditor, or otherwise to the extent and in the manner provided in the By-Laws.” Article VII, Section 4 of the Trust’s Declaration of Trust further states, in relevant part, that the “Trustees shall be entitled and empowered to the fullest extent permitted by law to purchase with Trust assets insurance for liability and for all expenses reasonably incurred or paid or expected to be paid by a Trustee, officer, employee, or agent of the Trust in connection with any claim, action, suit, or proceeding in which he or she may become involved by virtue of his or her capacity or former capacity as a Trustee of the Trust.”

Article VI, Section 2 of the Trust’s By-Laws states, in relevant part, that “[s]ubject to the exceptions and limitations contained in Section 3 of this Article VI, every [Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust] shall be indemnified by the Trust to the fullest extent permitted by law against all liabilities and against all expenses reasonably incurred or paid by him or her in connection with any proceeding in

 

C-46


which he or she becomes involved as a party or otherwise by virtue of his or her being or having been an agent.” Article VI, Section 3 of the Trust’s By-Laws further states, in relevant part, that “[n]o indemnification shall be provided hereunder to [a Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust]: (a) who shall have been adjudicated, by the court or other body before which the proceeding was brought, to be liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of willful misfeasance, bad faith, gross negligence or reckless disregard of the duties involved in the conduct of his or her office (collectively, “disabling conduct”); or (b) with respect to any proceeding disposed of (whether by settlement, pursuant to a consent decree or otherwise) without an adjudication by the court or other body before which the proceeding was brought that such [Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust] was liable to the Trust or its Shareholders by reason of disabling conduct, unless there has been a determination that such [Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust] did not engage in disabling conduct: (i) by the court or other body before which the proceeding was brought; (ii) by at least a majority of those Trustees who are neither Interested Persons of the Trust nor are parties to the proceeding based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry); or (iii) by written opinion of independent legal counsel based upon a review of readily available facts (as opposed to a full trial-type inquiry); provided, however, that indemnification shall be provided hereunder to [a Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust] with respect to any proceeding in the event of (1) a final decision on the merits by the court or other body before which the proceeding was brought that the [Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust] was not liable by reason of disabling conduct, or (2) the dismissal of the proceeding by the court or other body before which it was brought for insufficiency of evidence of any disabling conduct with which such [Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust] has been charged.” Article VI, Section 4 of the Trust’s By-Laws also states that the “rights of indemnification herein provided (i) may be insured against by policies maintained by the Trust on behalf of any [Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust], (ii) shall be severable, (iii) shall not be exclusive of or affect any other rights to which any [Trustee, officer, employee or other agent of the Trust] may now or hereafter be entitled and (iv) shall inure to the benefit of [such party’s] heirs, executors and administrators.”

Registrant’s Investment Management Agreements state:

Limitations on Liability. Manager will exercise its best judgment in rendering its services to the Trust, and the Trust agrees, as an inducement to Manager’s undertaking to do so, that the Manager will not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Trust in connection with the matters to which this Agreement relates, but will be liable only for willful misconduct, bad faith, gross negligence, reckless disregard of its duties or its failure to exercise due care in rendering its services to the Trust as specified in this Agreement. Any person, even though an officer, director, employee or agent of Manager, who may be or become an officer, Trustee, employee or agent of the Trust, shall be deemed, when rendering services to the Trust or when acting on any business of the Trust, to be rendering such services to or to be acting solely for the Trust and not as an officer, director, employee or agent, or one under the control or direction of Manager, even though paid by it.

Section 14 of each of the Registrant’s Distribution Agreements states:

The Trust shall indemnify and hold harmless [the Distributor] from any and all losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) to which [the Distributor] may be subject, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or result from negligent, improper, fraudulent or unauthorized acts or omissions by the Trust or its officers, trustees, agents or representatives, other than acts or omissions caused directly or indirectly by [the Distributor].

UNDERTAKING

Insofar as indemnification for liability arising under the Securities Act of 1933 (the “Act”) may be permitted to trustees, officers and controlling persons of the Registrant pursuant to the foregoing provisions, or otherwise, the Registrant has been advised that in the opinion of the Securities and Exchange Commission such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Act and is, therefore, unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than the payment by the Registrant of expenses incurred or paid by a trustee, officer or controlling person of the Registrant in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted by such trustee, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered, the Registrant will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the

 

C-54


matter has been settled by controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Act and will be governed by the final adjudication of such issue.
