(3) | securities acquired pursuant to any public, private and direct placement, including, without limiting the generality of this discretion, any fund not registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (a “Non-Registered Fund”), for which you and/or any of your Affiliated or Subsidiary Companies acts sponsor, distributor, administrator, adviser, or in any other capacity, or receives investment advisory or other fees; provided, however, that if you invest in any Non-Registered Fund, to the extent required by any applicable law, rule or regulation, this Agreement or any other governing document, you will exclude the value of any Account Assets so invested, from the calculation of your fee under Section 11 of this Investment Management Agreement. |

(b) | with respect to trades reported on the Account's behalf through Depository Trust Company (“DTC”), to accept instructions from DTC (whether in a DTC report or otherwise) as though they were given by us; and |
(c) | in those cases in which securities that have been purchased at varying prices are being sold or transferred, to use the “specific identification method” for allocating tax lots to a particular sale or transfer of securities for U.S. federal income tax purposes, unless we specifically request you to use another method of tax lot selection on or before the settlement date relating to that sale or transfer.

(a) | any loss that the Account may suffer by reason of any investment decision made or other action taken or omitted in good faith and with that degree of care, skill, prudence and diligence under the circumstances then prevailing that a prudent person acting in a like capacity would use in the conduct of an enterprise of a like character and with like aims; |
(b) | any loss, expense or other liability (including but not limited to attorneys' fees) arising or incurred as a result of your compliance with our instructions, reasonably and in good faith believed by you to be genuine; |
(c) | any act or failure to act by any broker or other person with whom you or the Account may deal in connection with the subject matter of this Agreement; or |

We understand that the value of investments made for the Account may go down as well as up, and may be subject to various market, economic and/or business risks (and if the Account is invested in international markets, currency and political risks, including but not limited to the risks of nationalization, confiscatory taxation and exchange restrictions), as well as the risk that the investment decisions made may not always be profitable or prove to have been wise. We also understand that there is no guarantee as to the value of our investments or the specific performance level of the Account.
We understand that securities, mutual funds and other non-deposit investments are not deposits or other obligations of, or guaranteed by you or any other bank, are not insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) or any other government agency, and are subject to investment risk, including possible loss of principal amounts invested.
10. | General Indemnification. We agree to indemnify you to the fullest extent permitted by law for any expense or liability (including, without limitation, attorneys' fees and related charges and expenses) incurred by you with respect to the Account |
5
when acting in accordance with this Agreement or to enforce this Agreement or any part thereof, including, without limitation, this Section 10.
11. | Compensation. For your services under this Agreement, we authorize you to charge the fees and charges as set forth in Schedule 1 attached to this Agreement, as that schedule may be amended from time to time. You may charge ___% against income and ___% against principal; or to the extent that the income is insufficient to cover the percentage of fees and charges indicated, then the balance thereof is to be charged against principal. |
12. | Conflicts. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to limit or restrict your right, or the right of any of your officers, directors or employees, to engage in any other business or to render investment management services or services of any kind to any other client. We understand that you provide investment management services to numerous other accounts. We understand that you may give advice and take action with respect to any of your other clients and their accounts that may differ from the timing or nature of action taken by you with respect to the Account. Nothing in this Agreement shall impose upon you any obligation to purchase or sell or to recommend for purchase or sale, with respect to the Account, any security (including long and short positions) that you, or your Affiliated or Subsidiary Companies, or your or their directors, officers, employees or family members of any of them may purchase or sell for its or their own account(s) or for the account of any other client. For purposes of this Agreement, “Affiliated or Subsidiary Companies” are those operating companies and investment entities, directly or indirectly controlled by, or under common control with, you or your parent company, Franklin Resources, Inc., and whether using the name Fiduciary, Templeton, Franklin, FTI or any other name. |
We acknowledge that your ability and that of your Affiliated and Subsidiary Companies to effect and/or recommend transactions may be restricted by applicable regulatory requirements in the United States and elsewhere and/or your or their internal policies designed to comply with such requirements. Consequently, there may be periods when you may not initiate or recommend certain types of transactions in certain investments when you or your Affiliated or Subsidiary Companies are performing services or when aggregated position limits have been reached, and we will not be advised of that fact.
We acknowledge that you or your Affiliated or Subsidiary Companies may obtain and keep profits, commissions and fees in connection with activities for other clients and from their own accounts. We also acknowledge that you may receive compensation from distributors of mutual funds, including money market funds, for performing shareholder servicing functions that such distributors would otherwise have to perform themselves. If any Account Assets are invested in such funds, you are authorized to receive this compensation.
13. | Proxies and Other Legal Notices. Decisions on proxy voting will be made by you unless such decisions are expressly reserved by us. You shall not be expected or required to take any action other than the rendering of investment-related advice with respect to lawsuits involving securities presently or formerly held in the Account, or the issuers thereof. However, you will use commercially reasonable efforts to file proofs of claim on behalf of the Account in class-action suits and, in that connection, you may, without prior permission or consent, include information about the Account. We acknowledge that by filing a proof of claim on our behalf, you may waive our right to pursue separate litigation against the issuer with respect to the subject matter of the lawsuit. Should you determine to undertake litigation against an issuer on behalf of one or more clients, you shall obtain our prior written consent to undertake such litigation before we are included in any such litigation. If we consent to such litigation, we agree to pay the portion of any reasonable legal fees associated with our claim or we will forfeit any claim to any assets that you may recover on behalf of the Account, up to the amount of such legal fees owed by us to you. If we do not consent to such litigation, we agree to hold you harmless for excluding the Account from such action and agree to indemnify you against any claims the Account may have against you resulting from the Account exclusion. |
14. | Brokerage. In selecting brokers or dealers to execute trades, you are expressly authorized to consider the fact that a broker or dealer has furnished statistical, research or other information or services which enhance your investment research and portfolio management capability, generally, even if the commission exceeds the commission which another broker would have charged for effecting the transaction; provided that you determine in good faith that the amount of commission charged was reasonable in relation to the value of brokerage and/or research services provided by such broker, either in respect of the Account or your overall responsibilities to your discretionary accounts. |
Nothing herein shall preclude the “bunching” of orders for the sale or purchase of portfolio securities in the Account with other accounts managed by you. In some cases, prevailing trading activity may cause you to receive various execution prices on the entire volume of any security sold for the accounts of your clients. When this happens you may average the various prices and charge or credit the Account with the average price, even though the effect of this aggregation of price may sometimes work to the disadvantage of the Account. We also understand and acknowledge that you or your Affiliated
6
or Subsidiary Companies may, based upon factors that you deem to be important, such as the relative size, investment objectives and/or investment restrictions of client accounts, restrict to certain accounts purchases and sales of securities acquired in initial public offerings, including those that trade or are expected to trade at a premium in the secondary market.
15. | Confidential Relationships. All information and recommendations furnished by either party to the other shall at all times be treated in strictest confidence and shall not be disclosed to third persons, except as may be permitted by law or regulation, or except upon the prior written approval of the other party to this Agreement. |
16. | Communications. All Account documents and other instructions or notices, as applicable, required to be in writing shall be deemed duly given when delivered in person or sent by first-class mail, postage prepaid, overnight courier, or confirmed facsimile, with original to follow, to us at our address below, or to you addressed as follows: |

000 Xxxxx Xxxxxx
Xxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxx 00000
Either party may, by written notice given at any time, designate a different address for the receipt of Account documents, instructions or notices due under this Agreement.
17. | Use of Affiliated or Subsidiary Companies. You may delegate all or part of your duties under this Agreement to any Affiliated or Subsidiary Company. |
18. | Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to any laws that might otherwise apply under principles of choice of law or conflicts of law. |
19. | Entire Agreement; Amendment; Termination. This Agreement sets forth and restates the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the Account, and replaces all previous agreements, understandings and communications, oral or written. It can only be amended by both parties in writing, except that, if you send us notice of an amendment, it will become effective thirty days later unless we object in writing within that time. We may terminate this Agreement at any time by written notice to you. You may terminate it on thirty days' written notice to us. Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 15, 16, 18 and 19 shall survive the termination of this Agreement. Upon termination you will have no further obligations hereunder, provided that any liability under this Agreement of either party to the other shall survive and remain in full force and effect with respect to transactions that have been initiated, but not completed, and with respect to any other claim or matter of which either of the parties has given the other written notice prior to such termination, until such liability has been finally settled (except that you will be entitled to your fees, prorated to the date of termination). If liquidation of any part of the Account is necessary or desired by us, you will do so in an orderly manner and, after settlement of all amounts outstanding from the Account, you will transfer such liquidated assets and any other remaining Account Assets to us or in accordance with our instructions. |
20. | Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are severable. If any provision, or part thereof, is determined to be void, voidable, illegal or invalid, the remaining provisions of this Agreement, including parts thereof, if applicable, shall continue to be valid and enforceable. |
7
21. | FDIC Insurance Disclosure. We acknowledge that securities, mutual funds and other non-deposit investments in the Account are subject to the following: |
NOT FDIC-INSURED
May lose value
No bank guarantee.
We understand that any cash balances placed on deposit in the Account are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) to the maximum extent allowed under the FDIC's general deposit insurance rules; and that through December 31, 2012, deposits placed in non-interest-bearing transaction accounts, including demand deposits and checking accounts, are fully insured without monetary limit.
