5.       PROCEDURE FOR DEFICIENT ITEMS

5.1       Agent shall examine any certificate representing the Shares, Letter of Transmittal, Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, Agent’s Message and any other document required by the Letter of Transmittal that is received by Agent as depositary to determine whether any tender may be defective. In the event Agent concludes that any Letter of Transmittal, Notice of Guaranteed Delivery, Agent’s Message or other document has been improperly completed, executed or transmitted, any certificate representing the Shares is not in proper form for transfer or some other irregularity in connection with the tender of the Shares exists, Agent is authorized, subject to 5.2 below, to advise the tendering shareholder or transmitting Book-Entry Transfer Facility, as the case may be, of the existence of the irregularity. Agent is not authorized to accept any tender that is not made in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in the Offer, or any other tender which Agent deems to be defective, unless Agent shall have received from the Purchaser the applicable Letter of Transmittal (or if the tender was made by means of a Confirmation containing an Agent’s Message, a written notice), duly dated and signed by an authorized officer of the Purchaser, indicating that any defect or irregularity in such tender has been cured or waived and that such tender has been accepted by the Purchaser.

5.2       Promptly upon concluding that any tender is defective, Agent shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with Agent’s regular procedures to notify the person tendering such Shares, or Book-Entry Transfer Facility transmitting the Agent’s Message, as the case may be, of such determination and, when necessary, return the subject Shares to such person in the manner described in Article I, Section 8 hereof. The Purchaser shall have full discretion to determine whether any tender is complete and proper and shall have the absolute right to reject any or all tenders of any Shares determined by it not to be in proper form and to determine whether the acceptance of or payment for such tenders may, in the opinion of counsel for the Purchaser, be unlawful; it being specifically agreed that Agent shall have neither discretion nor responsibility with respect to these determinations. To the extent permitted by

Depositary and IA Agreement 2023 Page 4

applicable law, the Purchaser also reserves the absolute right to waive any of the conditions of the Offer or any defect or irregularity in the tender of any Shares. The interpretation by the Purchaser of the terms and conditions of the Offer to Purchase, the Letter of Transmittal and the instructions thereto, a Notice of Guaranteed Delivery or an Agent’s Message (including without limitation the determination of whether any tender is complete and proper) shall be final and binding.

5.3       If less than all of the Shares validly tendered pursuant to the Offer are to be accepted because the Offer is oversubscribed by the Expiration Date, the Purchaser shall provide Agent with instructions regarding proration as soon as practicable. Agent shall maintain accurate records as to all the Shares tendered prior to or on the Expiration Date.

5.4       If any such deficiency with respect to any certificated Shares is neither corrected nor waived prior to the offer expiration date, Agent shall: (a) convert the shared represented by such certificate to a Book Entry position and (b) send to such holder a defect letter describing the applicable defects and asking that the deficiencies be corrected.

All questions as to the form and validity (including time of receipt) of notices of withdrawal will be determined by the Purchaser in its sole discretion, whose determination shall be final and binding.

10.2   Indemnity. Purchaser shall indemnify and hold Agent and Xxxxxxxxx harmless from and against, and neither Agent nor Xxxxxxxxx shall be responsible for, any and all losses, claims, damages, costs, charges, counsel fees and expenses, payments, expenses and liability (collectively, “Losses”) arising out of or attributable to Agent’s or Xxxxxxxxx’x respective duties under this Agreement or this appointment, including the reasonable costs and expenses of defending itself against any Loss or enforcing this Agreement, except for any liability of Agent or Xxxxxxxxx as set forth in Article III, Section 10.1 above.

Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, no party shall be liable to any other for any incidental, indirect, special or consequential damages of any nature whatsoever, including, but not limited to, loss of anticipated profits, occasioned by a breach of any provision of this Agreement even if apprised of the possibility of such damages.

12.       CONFIDENTIALITY

12.1   Definition. “Confidential Information” shall mean any and all technical or business information relating to a party, including, without limitation, financial, portfolio holdings, marketing and product development information, shareholder data (including any non-public information of such shareholder), proprietary information, and the terms and conditions (but not the existence) of this Agreement, that is disclosed or otherwise becomes known to the other party or its affiliates, agents or representatives before or during the term of this Agreement. Confidential Information constitutes trade secrets and is of great value to the owner (or its affiliates). Confidential Information shall not include any information that is: (a) already known to the other party or its affiliates at the time of the disclosure; (b) publicly known at the time of the disclosure or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act or failure of the other party; (c) subsequently disclosed to the other party or its affiliates on a non-confidential basis by a third party not having a confidential relationship with the owner and which rightfully acquired such

Depositary and IA Agreement 2023 Page 12

information; or (d) independently developed by one party without access to the Confidential Information of the other.

12.2   Use and Disclosure. All Confidential Information of a party will be held in confidence by the other party with at least the same degree of care as such party protects its own confidential or proprietary information of like kind and import, but not less than a reasonable degree of care. Neither party will disclose in any manner Confidential Information of the other party in any form to any person or entity without the other party’s prior consent. However, each party may disclose relevant aspects of the other party’s Confidential Information to its officers, affiliates, agents, subcontractors and employees to the extent reasonably necessary to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement and such disclosure is not prohibited by applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, each party will implement such physical and other security measures and controls which are designed to protect (a) the security and confidentiality of Confidential Information; (b) against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of Confidential Information; and (c) against any unauthorized access to or use of Confidential Information. To the extent that a party delegates any duties and responsibilities under this Agreement to an agent or other subcontractor, the party ensures that such agent and subcontractor are contractually bound to confidentiality terms consistent with the terms of this Article III, Section 12.

14.3   Required or Permitted Disclosure. In the event that any requests or demands are made for the d2sclosure of Confidential Information, other than requests to Agent or Xxxxxxxxx, as applicable, for shareholder records pursuant to standard subpoenas from state or federal government authorities (e.g., divorce and criminal actions), the party receiving such request will promptly notify the other party to secure instructions from an authorized officer of such party as to such request and to enable the other party the opportunity to obtain a protective order or other confidential treatment, unless such notification is otherwise prohibited by law or court order. Each party expressly reserves the right, however, to disclose Confidential Information to any person whenever it is advised by counsel that it may be held liable for the failure to disclose such Confidential Information or if required by law or court order.

12.4   Unauthorized Disclosure. As may be required by law and without limiting any party’s rights in respect of a breach of this Article III, Section 14, each party will promptly:

	(a)	Notify the other party in writing of any unauthorized possession, use or disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information by any person or entity that may become known to such party;
	(b)	Furnish to the other party full details of the unauthorized possession, use or disclosure; and
	(c)	Use commercially reasonable efforts to prevent a recurrence of any such unauthorized possession, use or disclosure of Confidential Information.

12.5   Costs. Each party will bear the costs it incurs as a result of compliance with this Article III, Section 12.

14.6   Damages. The parties agree that money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Section (i) by Agent (or its Representatives). Upon any actual or threatened violation of this Section (i) by Agent (or its Representatives), the Fund shall be entitled to seek preliminary and other injunctive relief against such violation, in addition to any other rights or remedies which the Fund may have at law or in equity.

13.       TERMINATION

In the event of such termination, the

Depositary and IA Agreement 2023 Page 13

Purchaser will appoint a successor agent and inform Agent of the name and address of any successor agent so appointed, provided that no failure by the Purchaser to appoint such a successor agent shall affect the termination of this Agreement or the discharge of Agent as agent hereunder.

Upon payment of all outstanding fees and expenses hereunder, Agent shall promptly forward to the Purchaser or its designee any unpaid Tender Consideration deposited with Agent pursuant to Article III, Section 2 hereof.

13.3 Notices of termination delivered pursuant to Article III, Section 13.1, above, will not be deemed to terminate IA Services. Likewise, termination pursuant to Article III, Section 13.2, above, will not be deemed to terminate depositary services.

14.3     If any out-of-proof condition caused by the Purchaser or the Company or any of its prior agents arises during any terms of this agreement, the Purchaser will, promptly upon Agent’s request, provide Agent with funds or shares sufficient to resolve the out-of-proof condition.

The Purchaser agrees to reimburse Agent and Xxxxxxxxx for any attorney’s fees and any other costs associated with collecting delinquent payments.

14.5     The parties hereto agree that in the event that Agent and Xxxxxxxxx commence performance under this Agreement, which performance may include, inter alia, initial event set-up activity, balancing and reconciliation, loading files, preparing letters of transmittal or other documents, as applicable, but the transaction contemplated hereunder is not initiated for any reason, the Purchaser agrees to pay, in any event, the Event Management fee and the IA Services base fee, set forth in Exhibit B, attached hereto.

16.    SUBCONTRACTORS AND UNAFFILIATED THIRD PARTIES

Agent may, without further consent of Purchaser, subcontract with (a) any affiliates, or (b) unaffiliated subcontractors for such services as may be required from time to time (e.g. lost shareholder searches, escheatment, telephone and mailing services); provided, however, that Agent shall be as fully responsible to Purchaser for the acts and omissions of any subcontractor as it is for its own acts and omissions.

16.2     Unaffiliated Third Parties. Nothing herein shall impose any duty upon Agent in connection with or make Agent liable for the actions or omissions to act of unaffiliated third parties (other than subcontractors referenced in Article III, Section 16.1 of this Agreement) such as, by way of example and not limitation, airborne services, delivery services, the U.S. mails, and telecommunication companies, provided, if Agent selected such company, Agent exercised due care in selecting the same.
