Agreement & Acknowledgement

A. Fees and Expenses.

• Fees. In consideration of the Services provided to Client under the Agreement, Client agrees to pay or cause to be paid to J.P. Morgan the fees set forth in this Fee Agreement. J.P. Morgan will present invoices monthly in arrears. Invoices will be payable within thirty (30) days of the date of the invoice. If the Client disputes an invoice, it shall nevertheless pay, on or before the date that payment is due, such portion of the invoice that is not subject to a bona fide dispute. Fees included in this Fee Agreement are based upon information provided by Client, and where necessary, assumptions that J.P. Morgan believes to be reasonable are applied. All amounts set forth in this Fee Agreement are quoted in U.S. dollars.

• Expenses. J.P. Morgan may charge the client for additional out-of-pocket expenses it incurs in the course of providing the Services.

B. AutoFX. For pricing in respect of foreign exchange activity via J.P. Morgan’s custody FX platform, AutoFX, please refer to the separate pricing letter which will be provided to the client in the event that J.P. Morgan provides this service to clients.

C. FX Conversion. Where costs are incurred in a currency other than client’s invoice base currency, or costs are based on a valuation of any of client’s securities in a currency other than client’s invoice base currency, J.P. Morgan will perform a foreign exchange calculation to determine such costs payable by the client. Such calculation will typically use the WM/Reuters spot rate (“Benchmark Rate”) for the relevant currency pair published at 4:00pm London time on the last business day of each calendar month for which client will be invoiced. However, the Benchmark Rate used in such calculation may change from time to time and J.P. Morgan will notify the client of such rate change.

D. New Markets or Services. To the extent Client engages in a market or utilizes a service where fees are not stated in this Fee Agreement, J.P. Morgan will assess a standard rate for the relevant market or service to be determined by J.P. Morgan, unless an alternative pricing arrangement is agreed in writing between Client and J.P. Morgan. The relevant rate will be assessed commencing at the time the market or service is first engaged or utilized. Resultant charge will be detailed within Client’s invoice and the Fee Agreement will be deemed to include the rate for such market and/or service.

E. Overdrafts. In the event that J.P. Morgan, in its sole discretion, provides an overdraft to Client, J.P. Morgan will charge interest at a rate to be determined by J.P. Morgan. For foreign overdrafts, including USD held offshore, overdraft rates vary by currency and by day, depending largely on market liquidity and prevailing overnight rates. For overdrafts held with JPMorgan Chase Bank, N.A. New York Branch, the USD overdraft rate is Effective Fed Funds + 200bps, subject to change.

F. Earnings Credit Rate. In the event that J.P. Morgan, in its sole discretion, provides an Earnings Credit Rate program to Client, and the application of the Earnings Credit Rate program results in a positive number or Earnings Credit, the Earnings Credit may be used to offset fees accrued in Client’s account during the billing period, up to the amount of the Earnings Credit. Unused Earnings Credits are carried over from month to month during a calendar year and expire at the end of each calendar year. Unused Earnings Credits may not be applied to prior billing periods and cannot be converted into interest. Client should continuously monitor and adjust balances to ensure optimal use of available Earnings Credits by year-end.

G. Customized Products. Any customized technology projects required to meet Client’s specific requirements, such as non-standard reporting requirements, system interfaces or enhancements, will be billed to Client based on the time and materials required to design, develop, test and deliver the project, unless an alternative arrangement is agreed in writing between Client and J.P. Morgan.

H. Amendments. J.P. Morgan shall request a modification of the fees set forth in this Fee Agreement at any time if (a) if Client’s holdings, activities, or service requirements materially differ from the pricing assumptions used by J.P. Morgan in preparation of this Fee Agreement or (b) there is a change to the scope of services provided to Client under the Agreement. Both parties agree to negotiate the fee modification in good faith and will agree to any changes before they are applied to the fee schedule.

I. Expiration. Unless executed by all parties, this Fee Agreement will expire within ninety (90) days of the date hereof.

J. Term and Termination. The initial term of this Fee Agreement (the “Initial Term”) shall commence on the Effective Date and continue until the earlier of (i) five (5) years from the Effective Date, and (ii) the end date of the initial term in the Agreement. Following the Initial Term, this Fee Agreement shall continue; provided that, J.P. Morgan shall have the right to modify any of the fees set forth herein upon prior written notice to Client of at least ninety (90) days. Notwithstanding the foregoing, as to the Agreement, this Fee Agreement shall terminate upon termination of the Agreement and the payment in full of all fees, expenses and charges owing by Client under this Fee Agreement and/or the Agreement.

K. Confidentiality. The terms and conditions contained herein are proprietary and confidential, and shall not be disclosed to third parties without express prior written consent by J.P. Morgan.

L. Entire Agreement. This Fee Agreement, including any schedules, exhibits and annexes sets out the entire agreement between the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof, and this Fee Agreement supersedes any other agreement, statement or representation relating to fees for the Services, whether oral or written.
