In the event of any inconsistency between this Agreement and any schedule, exhibit or annex, the relevant terms of the schedule, exhibit or annex shall prevail; provided, that no provision of any such schedule, exhibit or annex shall prevail over clause 6 (Scope of Responsibility) or clause 7 (Indemnity) of this Agreement unless such provision specifically references such clause of this Agreement in relation to the provisions of such schedule, exhibit or annex intended to prevail over such clause.

The Service Provider will perform the Services in accordance with and subject to the terms of this Agreement starting on the Effective Date and ending on the final day of the Term. The Services will be provided only on Business Days, and any functions or duties normally scheduled to be performed on any day that is not a Business Day will be performed on, and as of, the next Business Day. The Services are provided only with respect to the Client and the related Funds of the Client (if any) listed in an annex to Schedule 2, and the Service Provider shall have no obligation to provide Services to any Person (including any other Funds) unless the Service Provider has agreed to do so in a written amendment to Schedule 2 or a joinder, as contemplated by clause 12.1. The Service Provider is responsible for the performance of only those duties as are expressly set forth herein and in Schedule 2. The Service Provider will have no implied duties or obligations.

2.2 Service Changes. The Service Provider will not be obliged to change the Services unless it has agreed to do so pursuant to a written amendment to Schedule 2. Any change to the Services agreed to by the Service Provider (a “Service Change”) will be set forth in an amendment to Schedule 2, which amendment must specify (i) the timeline and dependencies, and the Parties’ respective obligations, for implementing the Service Change and (ii) any implementation or additional ongoing fees and expenses that may be required to effect such Service Change. The foregoing process is the “Change Control Process.” Client requests to change the Services necessitated by a change to the Client’s Organic Documents, Prospectus, Offering Documents or Policies and Procedures, or a change in applicable Law, will be subject to the Change Control Process. Without prejudice to the Change Control Process, the Client will promptly notify the Service Provider of any changes (or pending changes) in applicable Law with respect to the Client that are relevant to the Services.

2.3 Provision of Information; Cooperation. In order to permit the Service Provider to provide the Services, the Client agrees to provide, and to cause its employees and current and immediately preceding Agents to provide, to the Service Provider the information that the Service Provider may reasonably request in connection with the Services and this Agreement, including, without limitation, any Organic Documents, Prospectus, Offering Documents and Policies and Procedures of the Client and any amendments thereto.

2.4 Dependencies. The Service Provider will use reasonable efforts to provide the Services while any of the Dependencies specified in Schedule 3 subsist, provided that the Service Provider shall not be obliged to incur additional costs to do so.

2.5 Client Information. As between the Parties, the Client is responsible for the accuracy and completeness of, and the Service Provider has no obligation to review for accuracy or completeness of: (i) information contained in the Organic Documents, Prospectus, Offering Documents and any Policies and Procedures; and (ii) any data submitted to the Service Provider for processing by or on behalf of the Client. The Service Provider may charge the Client for additional work required to re-process any such incorrect data at its standard hourly rates or as set forth in the Schedule 5.

2.6 Use of Agents. The Service Provider is permitted to appoint Agents without the consent of the Client to perform any of the duties of the Service Provider under this Agreement. The Service Provider will use reasonable care in the selection and continued appointment of its Agents.

2.7 Other Services and Activities; Conflicts of Interest.

2.7.1 The Client acknowledges that the Service Provider and its Affiliates may provide services, including administration, advisory, banking and lending, broker dealer and other financial services, to the Client or to other Persons. The Client also acknowledges that the Service Provider may be (i) prohibited under applicable Law or contractually from disclosing to the Client any fact or thing that may come to the knowledge of the Service Provider or such Affiliates in the course of providing such services and (ii) “walled off” from facts or things that may come to the knowledge of its Affiliates in the course of providing such services, and therefore may be unable to make any such disclosures to the Client, and the Client agrees that neither the Service Provider nor such Affiliates will be required or expected under this Agreement to do so.

2.7.2 Among other things, the Service Provider or an Affiliate may receive or generate valuation information with respect to securities, products or services of the Client, and neither the Service Provider nor any Affiliate is under any obligation to disclose such information to the Client or any of the Client’s Investors. The Client acknowledges that neither the Service Provider nor any Affiliate is under any obligation to use any such information to assess or verify the accuracy of any information, including valuation information, that the Service Provider receives from the Client or from any Person specified in clause 6.3.5.

2.7.3 Subject to compliance with its confidentiality obligations hereunder, the Service Provider may acquire, hold or deal with, for its own account or for the account of other Persons, any shares or securities in which the Client is authorized to invest (for itself or its Investors), and the Service Provider will not be required to account to the Client for any profit arising therefrom.

2.8 AML/OFAC. The Client acknowledges that, unless included in the Services listed on Schedule 2, the Service Provider will not and shall have no duty or obligation to provide services relating to anti-money laundering (“AML”) compliance under the USA PATRIOT Act or compliance with any regulations or Executive Orders administered by the U.S. Treasury Department’s Office of Foreign Assets Control (“OFAC”) in connection with the services provided under this Agreement. The Client acknowledges and agrees to maintain systems and controls reasonably designed to prevent the Client from dealing in securities which are subject to U.S. or other applicable sanctions. On reasonable request, the Client will provide the Service Provider with information regarding its sanctions systems and controls and its compliance with this representation.

2.9 Withholding Taxes. Client acknowledges that Service Provider is not responsible pursuant to this Agreement for the withholding, deduction or payment of any U.S. federal withholding taxes. Client nevertheless acknowledges that Service Provider or other relevant parties (including counterparties or Investors) may be required by applicable law to pay, withhold or deduct amounts in respect of taxes in connection with the Services, and that such amounts may be due even where there is no corresponding payment of cash to Client or where there is a payment of cash from Client to a counterparty, Investor, or other person. Client authorizes Service Provider to pay, withhold or deduct any such amounts to the extent required or permitted by applicable law. For the avoidance of doubt, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Service Provider shall not be required to pay any additional amounts to Client or any counterparty or Investor in respect of such payment, deduction or withholding. If Service Provider determines that taxes are due in connection with the Services and have not been paid (through withholding or otherwise), Service Provider shall notify Client of such unpaid taxes and Client shall promptly make a payment in respect of such taxes to the Internal Revenue Service and shall deliver to Service Provider the original or a certified copy of a receipt evidencing such payment or other evidence of such payment reasonably satisfactory to Service Provider.

Depending upon the method of communication used by the Client, the security procedures may constitute one or more of the following measures: unique transaction identifiers, digital signatures, encryption algorithms or other codes, multifactor authentication, user entitlements, schedule validation or such other measures as in use for the communication method by the Client.

3.3 Authentication. Provided the Service Provider complies with the applicable security procedures, the Client agrees that the Service Provider will be entitled to treat any communication, including any Instruction, as having originated from an Authorized Person and the Service Provider may rely and act on that communication as authorized by the Client.

3.6 Recall, Amendment, Cancellation. If the Client requests the Service Provider to recall, cancel or amend an Instruction, the Service Provider shall, subject to applicable Law, use its reasonable efforts to comply.

3.7 MIFT. The Client expressly acknowledges that it is aware that a MIFT increases the risk of error, security, privacy issues and fraudulent activities.

The Indemnitee shall have the option to participate in the defense of such claim, or to defend against said claim, at its own expense.

Notwithstanding the foregoing,
