Fee Terms and Conditions Bank's fees shall remain in place for a period of 3 years from the effective date of the fee schedule. Bank reserves the right to renegotiate its fee schedule at any time, should the Funds actual investment portfolio and/or trading activity differ significantly from the assumptions used to develop our fee proposal. The fee schedule may also be amended by mutual agreement of the parties if the Funds’ service requirements change; each party agrees to negotiate, diligently and in good faith, to agree upon new fees for such service requirement changes. Related to Fund Accounting services, bond broker quotes are currently included in the overall Fund Accounting fees. Should there be a significant increase in the use of bond broker quotes, Bank and the Funds agree to revisit this arrangement. Fees for additional service(s) and/or market(s) added at the request of the Funds while this fee schedule is in effect will be assessed at Bank’s standard price(s); unless an alternative pricing arrangement is agreed upon in advance by the Funds and Bank. JPMorgan requires invoices to be paid in U.S. Dollars, unless Bank and the Funds have agreed upon alternative payment arrangements in advance of remittance. Basis point fee(s), if applicable, will be calculated at the end of the monthly billing period using asset values derived by Bank from data provided by its selected pricing sources. In the event that Bank must rely on the Funds or a portfolio manager or other party(ies) selected by the Funds to provide valuation(s) for the purpose of calculating basis point fee(s), Bank must receive such valuations no later than 30 days after the end of the billing period in a format deemed acceptable by Bank. In the event that Bank does not receive valuations by the required date, Bank will render an invoice using the most recent valuation(s) received for the respective investment(s)/account(s). Bank will present invoices monthly in arrears, with payment expected via wire transfer, unless an alternative billing arrangement is negotiated between the Funds and Bank. All annual fees, including basis point fees, will be pro-rated based on the number of months included in the billing period. Any customized technology projects required to meet the Funds specific requirements, such as non-standard reporting requirements, system interfaces or enhancements, will be billed to the Funds based on the time and materials required to design, develop, test and deliver the project, unless an alternative arrangement is negotiated between the Funds and Bank.

6.2 |
The Customer acknowledges that the Supported Pricing Models are algorithms which are theoretical in nature and accordingly the Customer acknowledges that the Supported Pricing Models may not adequately model all economic factors or events. The Customer acknowledges that Bank shall not be liable to the Customer for any inadequacy or defect of any kind with respect to the use of any Supported Pricing Model for the production of a price to input into the net asset calculation. The Customer agrees that its use of any Calculated Price is at the Customer's own risk and Bank shall not be liable to the Customer for any loss which arises from the use of such Calculated Price for any purpose (including, without limitation, trading, risk management, treasury and hedging arrangements). |
6.3 |
The Customer acknowledges that the prices of OTC Derivative Contracts, regardless of the source of such prices, are indicative values and may not indicate the actual terms upon which OTC Derivative Contracts could be liquidated or unwound or the calculation of an amount that would be payable or receivable following the expiry of, or the designation of an early termination date under, any applicable agreement. Prices determined using other pricing models, market data or assumptions may yield different results. |

6.4 |
The Customer acknowledges any Reports produced using the Supported Pricing Models and supplied to the Customer by Bank may be inaccurate. The Reports are produced using the Supported Pricing Models which may not adequately model all economic factors or events and information which Bank cannot determine to be accurate or complete. The Customer uses such Reports at its own risk and Bank shall not be liable to the Customer for any loss which arises from the use of the Reports for any purpose (including, without limitation, trading, risk management, treasury and hedging arrangements). |
6.5 |
Subject to the provisions of this Schedule and any other limitations which apply, Bank shall only be liable to the Customer to the extent that the Customer suffers a loss due to the net asset value of the Customer being inaccurate due to the negligence, wilful default or fraud of Bank in following the agreed procedures under this Schedule with respect to the valuation of OTC Derivative Contracts. With respect to losses resulting from the other services covered by this Schedule, the standard of care set forth in Section 7.1 of the Agreement shall govern. |
