Decision by the Transfer Agent to charge or not charge the Small Account Fee generally will be applied uniformly across a share class of the Funds. The Small Account Fee shall be determined, collected and subject to any exceptions as set forth in the most recent prospectus for each Portfolio of the Fund.
Determining Number of Billable Accounts. The Open Account Fee and the Closed Account Fee shall be paid only with respect to accounts serviced directly by the Transfer Agent and not with respect to accounts serviced by third parties pursuant to omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreements, as provided in Section 2.04 of the Agreement. Notwithstanding that the Transfer Agent
does not collect an Open Account Fee on accounts serviced by third parties pursuant to omnibus account service or sub-accounting agreements, any Small Account Fees collected on such accounts shall be subtracted as provided above under “Open Account Fee.”
Billing of Fees. Both the Open and Closed Account Fees shall be billed by the Transfer Agent monthly in arrears on a prorated basis of 1/12 of the annualized fee for all such accounts.

Accounts Serviced by the Transfer Agent. For performance by the Transfer Agent pursuant to this Agreement, the Fund agrees on behalf of the Class F Shares, Class R5 Shares and Class R6 Shares of each Portfolio to pay the Transfer Agent a fee equal to $2.00 per trade executed, to be billed monthly in arrears.
Cap on Transfer Agency Fees and Expenses. The Transfer Agent agrees to waive the right to collect any fee or reimbursement to which it is entitled hereunder to the extent that collecting such fee or reimbursement would cause the fees and expenses incurred hereunder by the Class F Shares, Class R5 Shares and Class R6 Shares of any given Portfolio to exceed 0.10% of the average net assets attributable to such Class of such Portfolio.
