The Administration Agreement, dated October 1, 1999, establishes a formal relationship between EQSF Advisers, Inc. and Third Avenue Trust, enabling EQSF to provide administrative services for the investment portfolios of the Fund. Notable features of the form include definitions of key terms such as 'Authorized Person' and 'Written Instructions,' outlining the responsibilities and limitations of EQSF, including their roles in performing treasury, recordkeeping, and compliance duties per the Investment Company Act of 1940. The Agreement stipulates that all instructions to EQSF must comply with applicable laws and requires confirmation through written communication of any oral instructions. Specific areas of focus include fees for services and out-of-pocket expenses, as well as guidelines for indemnification, liability, and the terms for termination.
