FUNDS TRANSFER ADDENDUM Security Procedure(s) Selection Form Please select one or more of the funds transfer security procedures indicated below. SWIFT SWIFT (Society for Worldwide Interbank Financial Telecommunication) Is a cooperative society owned and operated by member financial institutions that provides telecommunication services for its membership. Participation is limited to securities brokers and dealers, clearing and depository institutions, recognized exchanges for securities, and investment management institutions. SWIFT provides a number of security features through encryption and authentication to protect against unauthorized access, loss or wrong delivery of messages, transmission errors, loss of confidentiality and fraudulent changes to messages. SWIFT is considered to be one of the most secure and efficient networks for the delivery of funds transfer instructions. Selection of this security procedure would be most appropriate for existing SWIFT members. Standing Instructions Standing Instructions may be used where funds are transferred to a broker on the Client’s established list of brokers with which it engages in foreign exchange transactions. Only the date, the currency and the currency amount are variable. In order to establish this procedure, State Street will send to the Client a list of the brokers that State Street has determined are used by the Client. The Client will confirm the list in writing, and State Street will verify the written confirmation by telephone. Standing Instructions will be subject to a mutually agreed upon limit. If the payment order exceeds the established limit, the Standing Instruction will be confirmed by telephone prior to execution. Remote Batch Transmission Wire transfer instructions are delivered via Computer-to-Computer (CPU-CPU) data communications between the Client and State Street. Securlt3’ procedures include encryption and or the use of a test key by those individuals authorized as Automated Batch Verifiers. Clients selecting this option should have an existing. facility for completing CPU-CPU transmissions. Thu delivery mechanism is typically used for high-volume business. Global Horizon Interchange SM Funds Transfer Service Global Horizon Interchange Funds Transfer Service (S) is a State Street proprietary microcomputer-based wire initiation system- FTS enables Clients to electronically transmit authenticated Fedwire, CHIPS or internal book transfer instructions to State Street. This delivery mechanism is most appropriate for Clients with a Iow-to-medium number of transactions (5-75per day), allowing Clients to enter. batch, and review wire transfer instructions on their PC prior to release to State Street. Telephone Confirmation (Callback) Telephone confirmation will be used to verify all non-repetitive funds transfer instructions received via untested facsimile or phone This procedure requires Clients to designate individuals as authorized initiators and authorized verifiers. State Street will verify that the instruction contains the signature of an authorized person and prior to execution, will contact someone other than the originator at the Clients location to authenticate the instruction. Selection of this alternative is appropriate for Clients who do not have the capability to use other security procedures. Repetitive Wires For situations where funds are transferred periodically (minimum of one instruction per calendar quarter) from an existing authorized account to the same payee (destination bank and account number) and only the date and currency amount are variable, a repetitive wire may be implemented. Repetitive wires will be subject to a mutually agreed upon limit. If the payment order exceeds the established limit, the instruction will be confirmed by telephone prior to execution. Telephone confirmation is used to establish this process. Repetitive wire instructions must be reconfirmed annually. This alternative is recommended whenever funds are frequently transferred between the same Iwo accounts. Transfers Initiated by Facsimile The Client faxes wire transfer Instructions directly to State Street Mutual Fund Services. Standard security procedure requires the use of a random number test key for all transfers. Every six months the Client receives test key logs from State Street. The test key contains alpha-numeric characters, which the Client puts on each document faxed to State Sired. This procedure ensures all wire instructions received via fax are authorized by the Client. We provide this option for Clients who wish to batch wire instructions and transmit these as a group to State .Street Mutual Fund Services once or several times a day. Automated Clearing House (ACH) State Street receives an automated transmission or a magnetic tape from a Client for the initiation of payment (credit) or collection (debit) transactions through the CH network- The transactions contained on each transmission or tape must be authenticated by the Client Clients using ACM must select one or more of the following delivery options:
