Safekeeping and Straight-Through Processing (STP) Transactions – Notes and Methodologies
| • | Safekeeping: Fees are assessed on the basis of 30 calendar days per month over 360 days per calendar year (i.e. “30/360”). Basis point fees will be calculated by the Bank at the end of the relevant billing period using asset values on the last day of such billing period derived from data provided by the Bank’s selected pricing sources in accordance with the Bank’s pricing practices applied at its discretion. The Bank reserves the right, upon notice to Fund, to calculate basis point fees for the billing period based on the average asset value during the billing period rather than the asset value on the last day of the billing period taking into account factors such as whether the decrease in asset value was related to the sale of securities or changes in the market prices of securities. Tiered Safekeeping Basis Point Fees are assessed at the Relationship level. “Relationship” refers to all accounts of the Funds under the Principal Agreement(s). Tiered basis point rates apply to the market value of assets greater than the threshold of the prior tier up to the threshold of that rate’s respective tier. |

In markets with tiered safekeeping fees, local non-ICSD issued assets settled through ICSD will be tiered independently from non-Euroclear local market assets for purposes of determining the applicable safekeeping fee. Tiered Safekeeping Basis Point Fees are assessed at the Relationship level. “Relationship” refers to all accounts of the Funds under the Principal Agreement(s). |

Agreement & Acknowledgement
| A. | Fees and Expenses. |
| • | Fees. Bank will present invoices monthly in arrears. Fees included in this Amendment are based upon information provided by Customer, and where necessary, assumptions that Bank believes to be reasonable are applied. All amounts set forth in this Amendment are quoted in U.S. Dollars. |
| • | Expenses. Bank may charge you for additional out-of-pocket expenses it incurs in the course of providing the Services. Such out-of-pocket expenses may include, but are not limited to, late instruction/settlement fees, local market account opening fees, taxes, issuer fees, legal fees, translation fees, tax reclaim filing fees and/or travel expenses. |
| B. | AutoFX. For pricing in respect of foreign exchange activity via Bank’s custody FX platform, AutoFX, please refer to the separate pricing letter which will be provided to you in the event that Bank provides this service to you. |
| C. | FX Conversion. Where costs are incurred in a currency other than your invoice base currency, or costs are based on a valuation of any of your securities in a currency other than your invoice base currency, Bank will perform a foreign exchange calculation to determine such costs payable by you. Such calculation will typically use the WM/Reuters spot rate (“Benchmark Rate”) for the relevant currency pair published at 4:00pm London time on the last business day of each calendar month for which you will be invoiced. However, the Benchmark Rate used in such calculation may change from time to time and Bank will notify you of such rate change. |
| D. | New Markets or Services. To the extent Customer engages in a market or utilizes a service where fees are not stated in this Amendment, Bank will assess a standard rate for the relevant market or service to be determined by Bank, unless an alternative pricing arrangement is agreed in writing between Customer and Bank. The relevant rate will be assessed commencing at the time the market or service is first engaged or utilized. Resultant charge will be detailed within Customer’s invoice and the Amendment will be deemed to include the rate for such market and/or service. |
| E. | Overdrafts. In the event that Bank, in its sole discretion, provides an overdraft to Customer, Bank will charge interest at a rate to be determined by Bank. For foreign overdrafts, including USD held offshore, overdraft rates vary by currency and by day, depending largely on market liquidity and prevailing overnight rates. For domestic overdrafts, the overdraft rate is Effective Fed Funds + 150bps. |
| F. | Earnings Credit Rate. In the event that Bank, in its sole discretion, provides an Earnings Credit Rate program to Customer, and the application of the Earnings Credit Rate program results in a positive number or Earnings Credit, the Earnings Credit may be used to offset fees accrued in Customer’s account during the billing period, up to the amount of the Earnings Credit. Unused Earnings Credits are carried over from month to month during a calendar year and expire at the end of each calendar year. Unused Earnings Credits may not be applied to prior billing periods and cannot be converted into interest. Customer should continuously monitor and adjust balances to ensure optimal use of available Earnings Credits by year-end. |
| G. | Customized Products. Any customized technology projects required to meet Customer’s specific requirements, such as non-standard reporting requirements, system interfaces or enhancements, will be billed to Customer based on the time and materials required to design, develop, test and deliver the project, unless an alternative arrangement is agreed in writing between Customer and Bank. |
| H. | Inflation Clause. Bank will increase service fees set forth in the Fee Agreement and any subsequent fee amendments after the anniversary of the effective date of this Fee Agreement and annually thereafter by the U.S. Consumer Price Index (“US CPI”) rate for the most recent year end. For the avoidance of doubt Bank shall not be obliged to reflect a negative US CPI rate. Service fees that use asset values in the fee calculation would not be subject to the rate increase, nor would expenses including but not limited to Out of Pockets. |
