E.

EARLY TERMINATION COSTS

          The parties acknowledge that BOSTON FINANCIAL has made significant concessions to JP Morgan, including a substantial reduction in the Fees to be paid by JP Morgan for Services under the Agreement, partially in exchange for JP Morgan’s agreement to a longer term. Should JP Morgan terminate the Agreement to which this Exhibit A is attached prior to the end of its term, BOSTON FINANCIAL will suffer damages in an amount difficult to calculate and uncertain in scope and, accordingly, the parties have agreed that, as liquidated damages and not as a penalty, in such event, BOSTON FINANCIAL shall be entitled to impose the mutually agreed upon liquidated damages equal to the sum of the previous 12 months fees excluding Out of Pocket Charges. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that JP Morgan terminates the Agreement during the last year of the Initial Term, the foregoing early termination damages amount shall be calculated as noted above but shall be subject to a pro rata reduction over the final twelve months of the term depending on JP Morgan’s actual deconversion date.
