• Review Procedures A request for review of a denied claim must be made in writing to Plan Administrator within sixty (60) days after receiving notice of denial (one hundred eighty (180) days in the case of a claim involving Disability Retirement Benefits). The decision upon review will be made within sixty (60) days after Plan Administrator’s receipt of a request for review (forty-five (45) days in the case of a claim involving Disability Retirement Benefits), unless special circumstances require an extension of time for processing, in which case a decision will be rendered not later than one hundred twenty (120) days after receipt of a request for review (ninety (90) days in the case of a claim for Disability Retirement Benefits). A notice of such an extension must be provided to the Claimant within the initial sixty (60) day period (the initial forty-five (45) day period in the case of a claim for Disability Retirement Benefits) and must explain the special circumstances and provide an expected date of decision. The reviewer shall afford the Claimant an opportunity to review and receive, without charge, all relevant documents, information and records and to submit issues and comments in writing to Plan Administrator. The reviewer shall take into account all comments, documents, records and other information submitted by the Claimant relating to the claim regardless of whether the information was submitted or considered in the benefit determination.

• OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES In order to minimize operational problems, it will be necessary for trade information to be supplied in a secure manner by the Subadviser to the Fund’s Service Providers, including: JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the “Custodian”), Virtus Fund Services (the “Fund Administrator”) BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc., (the “Sub-Accounting Agent”), any Prime Broker to the Series, and all other Counterparties/Brokers as required. The Subadviser must furnish the Fund’s service providers with required daily information as to executed trades in a format and time-frame agreed to by the Subadviser, Custodian, Fund Administrator, Sub-Accounting Agent and Prime Broker/Counterparties and designated persons of the Fund. Trade information sent to the Custodian, Fund Administrator, Sub-Accounting Agent and Prime Broker/Counterparties must include all necessary data within the required timeframes to allow such parties to perform their obligations to the Series. The Sub-Accounting Agent specifically requires a daily trade blotter with a summary of all trades, in addition to trade feeds, including, if no trades are executed, a report to that effect. Daily information as to executed trades for same-day settlement and future trades must be sent to the Sub-Accounting Agent no later than 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the day of the trade each day the Fund is open for business. All other executed trades must be delivered to the Sub-Accounting Agent on Trade Date plus 1 by Noon (Eastern Time) to ensure that they are part of the Series’ NAV calculation. (The Subadviser will be responsible for reimbursement to the Fund for any loss caused by the Subadviser’s failure to comply with the requirements of this Schedule A.) On fiscal quarter ends and calendar quarter ends, all trades must be delivered to the Sub-Accounting Agent by 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) for inclusion in the financial statements of the Series. The data to be sent to the Sub-Accounting Agent and/or Fund Administrator will be as agreed by the Subadviser, Fund Administrator, Sub-Accounting Agent and designated persons of the Fund and shall include (without limitation) the following:

• Quality Control Procedures The Seller must have an internal quality control program that verifies, on a regular basis, the existence and accuracy of the legal documents, credit documents, property appraisals, and underwriting decisions. The program must be capable of evaluating and monitoring the overall quality of its loan production and servicing activities. The program is to ensure that the Mortgage Loans are originated and serviced in accordance with prudent mortgage banking practices and accounting principles; guard against dishonest, fraudulent, or negligent acts; and guard against errors and omissions by officers, employees, or other authorized persons.

• New Procedures New procedures as to who shall provide certain of these services in Section 1 may be established in writing from time to time by agreement between the Fund and the Transfer Agent. The Transfer Agent may at times perform only a portion of these services and the Fund or its agent may perform these services on the Fund's behalf;

• Claims and Review Procedure In the event that any claim for benefits that must initially be submitted in writing to the Board of Directors, is denied (in whole or in part) hereunder, the claimant shall receive from First Charter a notice of denial in writing within 60 days, written in a manner calculated to be understood by the claimant, setting forth the specific reasons for denial, with specific reference to pertinent provisions of this Supplemental Agreement. Any disagreements about such interpretations and construction shall be submitted to an arbitrator subject to the rules and procedures established by the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator shall be acceptable to both First Charter and the Executive (or Beneficiary); if the parties cannot agree on a single arbitrator, the disagreement shall be heard by a panel of three arbitrators, with each party to appoint one arbitrator and the third to be chosen by the other two. No member of the Board of Directors shall be liable to any person for any action taken under Article VIII except those actions undertaken with lack of good faith.

• Procedures If any action shall be brought against any Indemnified Party in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall promptly cause written notice (the “Third Party Notice”) of the assertion of such Legal Proceeding to be forwarded to the Indemnifying Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right, at its sole option and expense, by providing written notice to the Indemnified Party, to (i) take control of the defense and investigation of such Legal Proceeding, (ii) employ and engage attorneys of its own choice (subject to the prior written approval of the Indemnified Party, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) to handle and defend the same, at the Indemnifying Party’s sole cost, risk and expense and (iii) compromise or settle such Legal Proceeding, which compromise or settlement shall be made only with the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party; provided, that such consent shall not be required if such settlement (x) includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party, (y) otherwise provides solely for payment of monetary damages for which the Indemnifying Party shall be responsible and no other form of relief or penalty, (y) shall not increase the tax liability of the Indemnified Party for any taxable year or other taxable period and (z) does not involve the admission of liability or wrongdoing on the part of the Indemnified Party. The Indemnified Party shall, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, cooperate in all reasonable respects with the Indemnifying Party and its attorneys in the investigation, trial and defense of such Legal Proceeding and any appeal arising therefrom, and the Indemnified Party may, at its own cost, monitor and further participate in the investigation, trial and defense of such Legal Proceeding and any appeal arising therefrom. Notwithstanding the Indemnifying Party’s election to assume the defense of such Legal Proceeding, the Indemnified Party shall have, upon giving prior written notice to the Indemnifying Party, the right to employ one separate counsel and to participate in the defense of such Legal Proceeding, and the Indemnifying Party shall bear the reasonable fees, costs and expenses of such separate counsel for the Indemnified Party if, but only if, the Indemnified Party shall have reasonably concluded in good faith that (x) an actual or potential conflict of interest (including one or more legal defenses or counterclaims available to it or to other Indemnified Parties that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party) makes it inappropriate in the reasonable judgment of the Indemnified Party (upon and in conformity with the advice of counsel) for the same counsel to represent both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party or (y) the claim seeks nonmonetary relief which, if granted, could materially and adversely affect the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend against such Legal Proceeding, does not, within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Third Party Notice (or such earlier date, if the failure to assume the defense by such earlier date would materially impair the ability of the indemnified party to defend such Legal Proceeding), acknowledge in writing its intent to assume the defense of such Legal Proceeding pursuant to this Section 4.3, contests its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party in connection with such Legal Proceeding, or fails to defend against such Legal Proceeding with reasonable diligence, the Indemnified Party may defend against such Legal Proceeding, in which cases the costs of defending such Legal Proceeding shall constitute indemnifiable Losses under this Article IV, and the Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate therein at its own cost. If the Indemnified Party defends any Legal Proceeding, then it shall keep the Indemnifying Party regularly apprised of the status of the Legal Proceeding and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the reasonable expenses of counsel engaged by the Indemnified Party to defend such Legal Proceeding upon submission of periodic bills unless (A) the Indemnifying Party is asserting in good faith a bona fide contest to its obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party and (B) the Indemnifying Party deposits in escrow in a manner and with an escrow agent reasonably satisfactory to such Indemnified Party all amounts that would have been payable to such Indemnified Party under this sentence in the absence of such a contest as and when such amounts would have been payable. In no event shall the Indemnified Party be entitled to compromise or settle any Legal Proceeding without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. If a claim for Losses (a “Claim”) is to be made by any Indemnified Party not in connection with a Legal Proceeding instituted by a third party, such Indemnified Party shall give written notice (a “Claim Notice”) to the Indemnifying Party reasonably promptly after such Indemnified Party becomes aware of any fact, condition or event giving rise to Losses for which indemnification may be sought under this Section 4.3. If the Indemnifying Party notifies the Indemnified Party that it does not dispute the Claim described in such Claim Notice, the Losses identified in the Claim Notice shall be conclusively deemed a liability of the Indemnifying Party. After any final judgment or award shall have been rendered by a court, arbitration board or administrative agency of competent jurisdiction, and the time in which to appeal therefrom has expired, or a settlement shall have been consummated, or the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party shall have arrived at a mutually binding agreement with respect to a Legal Proceeding hereunder, the Indemnified Party shall forward to the Indemnifying Party notice of any sums due and owing by the Indemnifying Party pursuant to this Agreement with respect to such matter and, unless the Indemnifying Party in good faith disputes any such amounts, the Indemnifying Party shall promptly pay such amounts.
