WHEREAS, the Trust, on behalf of each Fund, has entered into separate investment management agreements (each, an “Investment Management Agreement”) with Funds Management for the provision of advisory services and Fund-level administrative services.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants herein contained, the parties agree as follows:

2.       Delivery of Documents. The Trust shall furnish to, or cause to be furnished to, Funds Management originals of, or copies of, all books, records, and other documents and papers related in any way to the administration of the Trust.

 

3.       Duties as Class-Level Administrator. Funds Management shall, at its expense, provide the following administrative services in connection with the operations of the Trust and the Funds to the degree and extent that such services are provided to a Class, even if that Class is the only Class offered by a Fund, or Classes of a Fund (“Class-Level Duties”):

(s)assist in the preparation and assembly of meeting materials, including comparable fee information, as required, for the Funds’ board of directors; and

 

(t)provide any other administrative services reasonably necessary for the operation of the Classes other than those services that are to be provided by the Trust’s transfer and dividend disbursing agent, custodian, and fund accountant, provided that nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to require Funds Management to provide any services that may not be provided by it under applicable banking laws and regulations.

 

In performing all of the services under this Agreement, Funds Management shall: (a) act in conformity with the Trust’s Declaration of Trust (and By-Laws, if any), the 1940 Act, and any other applicable laws as may be amended from time to time, and all relevant rules thereunder, and with the Trust’s registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933 and the 1940 Act, as may be amended from time to time; (b) consult and coordinate with legal counsel to the Trust as necessary and appropriate; and (c) advise and report to the Trust and its legal counsel, as necessary and appropriate, with respect to any compliance or other matters that come to its attention.

 

In connection with its duties under this Paragraph, Funds Management may, at its own expense, enter into sub-administration agreements with other service providers, provided that each such service provider agrees with Funds Management to comply with this Agreement and all relevant provisions of the 1940 Act any other applicable laws as may be amended from time to time, and all relevant rules thereunder. Funds Management will provide the Trust with a copy of each sub-administration agreement it executes relating to the Trust. Funds Management will be liable for acts or omissions of any such sub-administrators under the standards of care described herein under Paragraph 5.

 

4.       Compensation. In consideration of the Class-Level Duties rendered by Funds Management under this Agreement for each multi-class Fund and each single class Fund, the Trust shall pay Funds Management a Class-level administrative fee as shown on Appendix A. The fees payable pursuant to this Paragraph shall be calculated based on the average daily value (as determined on each business day at the time set forth in the prospectus for determining net asset value per share) of each Class’s net assets, as appropriate, during the preceding month. If the fee payable to Funds Management pursuant to this Paragraph begins to accrue before the end of any month or if this Agreement terminates before the end of any month, the fee for the period from the effective date to the end of that month or from the beginning of that month to the termination date, respectively, shall be prorated according to the proportion that the period bears to the full month in which the effectiveness or termination occurs. For purposes of calculating each such monthly fee, the value of each Class’s net assets shall be computed in the manner specified in that Class’s registration statement as then on file with the SEC for the computation of the value of the Class’s net assets in connection with the determination of the net asset value of Class shares. For purposes of this Agreement, a “business day” for a Class is any day that a Fund issuing the Class is open for trading.

5.       Limitation of Liability; Indemnification.

 

(a)Funds Management shall not be liable for any error of judgment or mistake of law or for any loss suffered by the Trust in connection with the performance of its obligations and duties under this Agreement, except a loss resulting from Funds Management’s willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence in the performance of its obligations and duties or that of its agents or sub-administrators, or by reason of its or their reckless disregard thereof. Any person, even though also an officer, director, employee or agent of Funds Management, shall be deemed, when rendering services to the Trust or acting on any business of the Trust (other than services or business in connection with Funds Management’s duties as Administrator hereunder), to be acting solely for the Trust and not as an officer, director, employee, or agent or one under the control or discretion of Funds Management even though paid by it.

 

(b)The Trust, on behalf of each Fund, will indemnify Funds Management against and hold it harmless from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from any claim, demand, action, or suit relating to the particular Fund and not resulting from willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence of Funds Management or its agents or sub-administrators in the performance of their obligations and duties hereunder, or by reason of its or their reckless disregard thereof. Funds Management will not confess any claim or settle or make any compromise in any instance in which the Trust will be asked to provide indemnification, except with the Trust’s prior written consent. Any amounts payable by the Trust under this Subparagraph shall be satisfied only against the assets of the Fund involved in the claim, demand, action, or suit and not against the assets of any other Fund.

 

(c)Funds Management will indemnify the Trust against and hold it harmless from any and all losses, claims, damages, liabilities, or expenses (including reasonable counsel fees and expenses) resulting from any claim, demand, action, or suit against the Trust or any Fund that resulted from a failure of Funds Management or its agents to act in accordance with the standard of care set forth in Subparagraph (a) above; provided that such loss, claim, damage, liability or expense did not result primarily from willful misfeasance, bad faith, or negligence of the Trust or its agents (other than Funds Management or agents of Funds Management) in the performance of their obligations and duties, or by reason of its or their reckless disregard thereof. The Trust will not confess any claim or settle or make any compromise in any instance in which Funds Management will be asked to provide indemnification, except with Funds Management’s prior written consent.

 

6.       Allocation of Expenses. Funds Management assumes and shall pay for maintaining the staff and personnel necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement and shall, at its own expense, provide its own office space, facilities and equipment. In addition to the fees described in Section 4 of this Agreement, the Trust (or its other service providers, as may be provided pursuant to their respective agreements and contracts with the Trust) shall pay

4 

 

all of its Class-level expenses which are not expressly assumed by Funds Management hereunder. The Class-level expenses of legal counsel and accounting experts retained by Funds Management, after consulting with the Trust’s legal counsel and independent auditors, as may be reasonably necessary or appropriate for the performance by Funds Management of its duties under this Agreement, shall be deemed to be Class-level expenses of, and shall be paid for by, the Trust.

 

7.       Amendments. This Agreement supersedes the Amended and Restated Administration Agreement between Wells Fargo Funds Trust and Funds Management dated March 1, 2003 and amended as of March 25, 2011, and the Administration Agreement between Wells Fargo Funds Trust and Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. dated November 8, 1999. The Fund-level administrative duties and feees of those agreements have been incorporated into each Investment Management Agreement. This Agreement may be amended at any time by mutual agreement in writing of the Trust and Funds Management, provided that the Board of Trustees of the Trust, including a majority of the trustees who are not interested persons of the Trust or any party to this Agreement, as defined by the 1940 Act, approves any such amendment in advance.

8.       Administrator’s Other Businesses. Except to the extent necessary to perform Funds Management’s obligations under this Agreement, nothing herein shall be deemed to limit or restrict the right of Funds Management, or any affiliate or employee of Funds Management, to engage in any other business or to devote time and attention to the management or other aspects of any other business, whether of a similar or dissimilar nature, or to render services of any kind to any other corporation, firm, individual or association.

 

9.       Duration. This Agreement shall become effective on its execution date and shall remain in full force and effect for one year or until terminated pursuant to the provisions in Paragraph 10, and it may be reapproved at least annually by the Board of Trustees, including a majority of the directors who are not interested persons of the Trust or any party to this Agreement, as defined by the 1940 Act.

 

10.     Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated at any time, without the payment of any penalty, by a vote of a majority of the members of the Trust’s Board of Trustees, on 60 days’ written notice to Funds Management; or by Funds Management on 60 days’ written notice to the Trust.

 

11.     Trust not bound to violate its Declaration of Trust. Nothing in this Agreement shall require the Trust to take any action contrary to any provision of its Declaration of Trust or to any applicable statute or regulation.

 

12.     Miscellaneous.

 

(a)Any notice or other instrument authorized or required by this Agreement to be given in writing to the Trust or Funds Management shall be sufficiently given if addressed to that party and received by it at its office set forth below or at such other place as it may from time to time designate in writing.
