EXPENSES AND OTHER CHARGES

Fees and Out of Pocket Expenses: The cost of stationery and supplies, including but not limited to transfer sheets, dividend checks, envelopes, and paper stock, together with any disbursement for telephone, postage, mail insurance, travel for annual meeting, link-up charges for ADP and tape charges from DTC are billed in addition to the above fees. All charges and fees, out of pocket costs, expenses and disbursements of Mellon are due and payable by Client upon receipt of an invoice from Mellon.

With respect to any shareholder mailing processed by Mellon, Client shall, at least one business day prior to mail date, provide immediately available funds sufficient to cover all postage due on such mailing. For any dividend mailing, Client shall, at least one business day prior to the mail date, also provide immediately available funds sufficient to pay the aggregate amount of dividends to be paid.

Share Sale Program: Client may appoint Mellon to administer, through Mellon's affiliate, Mellon Bank, N.A., a program allowing Client's shareholders to liquidate book-entry shares, held in the Direct Registration System (“DRS”), pursuant to the Client's stock purchase and/or dividend reinvestment plan. The charge for each such sale, and the process for selling such shares, shall be as described in the Client's plan. If Client does not have a separate stock purchase or dividend reinvestment plan, then Client hereby appoints and directs Mellon to implement and administer, through Mellon Bank, N.A., a share selling program allowing Client's shareholders to liquidate DRS shares. The transaction fee for each such sale shall be $ plus $ per share. Under the program, upon receipt of a sell request by a registered shareholder, Mellon Bank, N.A. will process the request through FutureShare Financial (“FSF”), a registered broker/dealer and member of NASD/SIPC and an affiliate of Mellon. Proceeds of the sale will be sent to the shareholder in the form of a check (less the transaction fee). Sale requests will typically be combined with other sale requests received from Client shareholders and shares will be submitted in bulk to FSF for sale. Shares will be sold usually within one business day of Mellon's receipt of the sale request, but in no event more than five business days (except where deferral is necessary under state or federal regulations). The price per share received by the selling shareholder will equal the market price Mellon receives for the shares (or if more than one bulk trade is executed on the day the shares are sold, then the price per share shall equal the weighted average market price received for all Client shares sold that day).

Offering Administration Fee: A minimum fee of $will be imposed for activities associated with initial public offerings (IPO's), secondary offerings and/or closings. The fee covers the coordination of efforts necessary between Mellon, the Client's underwriters, the banknote company and DTC in order to effect the closing. This fee will cover the issuance of up to 200 certificates and/or book-entry credits. Certificates and/or book-entry credits over this amount will be billed at $ each. This fee is in addition to any fees Mellon may charge for coordination of selling shareholders, custody services and/or escrow services.

Conversion: If an out-of-proof condition exists at the time of conversion, and such condition is not resolved within 90 calendar days of such conversion, Client agrees to provide Mellon with funds or shares sufficient to resolve the out-of-proof condition promptly after the expiration of such 90 day period.

Deconversion: Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Client shall pay Mellon a fee for deconversion services (e.g., providing shareholder lists and files, producing and shipping records, answering successor agent inquiries). This fee shall be based on Mellon's then-current deconversion fee schedule. Mellon may withhold the Client's records, reports and unused certificate stock pending Client's payment in full of all fees and expenses owed to Mellon under this Agreement.

Legal Expenses, System Modifications: Certain expenses may be incurred in resolving legal matters that arise in the course of performing services hereunder. This may result in a separate charge to cover Mellon's expenses (including the cost of external or internal counsel) in resolving such matters; provided that any legal expenses charged to the Client shall be reasonable.

In the event any federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations are enacted that require Mellon to (i) make any adjustments and/or modifications to its current system, or (ii) provide additional services to Client for which Mellon is not being compensated hereunder, then Client shall compensate Mellon (a) on a pro rata basis proportionate to the Client's registered shareholder base, for the costs associated with making such required adjustments and/or modifications, or (b) according to Mellon's standard fees established, in good faith, with respect to such additional services.

Stock Transfer Fee

Schedule - Page 9

Other Services: Fees for any services provided to Client by or on behalf of Mellon hereunder that are not set forth above will be based on Mellon's standard fees at the time such services are provided or, if no standard fees have been established, an appraisal of the work to be performed.
