Trust’s shareholders. Sub-transfer agency fees (or similar fees) related to such relationships on a retirement processing system will be passed on to the Trust at cost, without markup, and such fees will be allocated among all share classes except Class R6 (which does not pay sub-transfer agency or similar fees outside of the Sub-TA Agreement with BNY Mellon noted below) in accordance with the Trust’s then-current Multiple Class Plan pursuant to Rule 18f-3 of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended.
