To the extent that in any jurisdiction the Customer or J.P. Morgan may now or hereafter be entitled to claim, for itself or its assets, immunity from suit, execution, attachment (before or after judgment) or other legal process, the Customer or J.P.

(b) Except as otherwise provided herein, no failure or delay on the part of either party in exercising any power or right under this Agreement operates as a waiver, nor does any single or partial exercise of any power or right preclude any other or further exercise, or the exercise of any other power or right. No waiver by a party of any provision of this Agreement, or waiver of any breach or default, is effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party against whom the waiver is to be enforced.

(c) The parties’ rights, protections, and remedies under this Agreement shall survive its termination.

8.7. Confidentiality.

(a) Subject to Section 8.7(b), J.P. Morgan will hold all Confidential Information in confidence with the same level of care as if such Confidential Information was its own and will not disclose any Confidential Information except as may be required by Applicable Law, a regulator with jurisdiction over J.P. Morgan’s business, or with the consent of the Customer provided that prior to disclosing any such Confidential Information pursuant to Applicable Law or as required by any such regulator in connection with a request for information specific to Customer, J.P. Morgan shall provide Customer with written notice within a reasonable time prior to disclosing Confidential Information to the extent practicable and legally permissible in order to permit Customer to seek a protective order prohibiting the disclosure of such Confidential Information.

(c) Except as (i) otherwise required by Applicable Law, (ii) required for disclosure in the Customer’s Registration Statement, or (iii) needed to enforce the terms of this Agreement, the parties shall hold the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, any commercial terms, in confidence.

8.13. Obligations of Each Customer Several; Funds as Customers

(a) Although each Customer and J.P. Morgan are entering into this agreement for convenience, each Customer and J.P. Morgan intend that this Agreement constitute a separate agreement between each Customer and J.P. Morgan such that each reference to Customer shall be read solely as a reference to a single entity.

(b) J.P. Morgan acknowledges and agrees that the obligations assumed by the Customer hereunder shall be limited in all cases to the assets of the Customer and that J.P. Morgan may not seek satisfaction of any such obligation from the officers, agents, employees, trustees, directors or shareholders of the Customer or of any other Customer hereto, and to the extent such trustees or officers are regarded as entering into this Agreement, they do so only as trustees or officers and not individually and that the obligations of this Agreement are not binding upon any such trustee, officer, employee or shareholder individually, but are binding only upon the assets and property of such Customer. J.P. Morgan hereby agrees that such trustees, officers, employees or shareholders shall not be personally liable under this Agreement and that J.P. Morgan shall look solely to the property of the Customer for the performance of the Agreement or payment of any claim under the Agreement.

APPENDIX A Net Asset Value Error Correction Policy and Procedures

1. As used in this Agreement and the Schedules and Appendices to this Agreement, the following terms have the meaning hereinafter stated:

“NAV Error” is defined as one or more errors in the computation of net asset value which, when considered cumulatively, result in a difference between the originally computed NAV and the corrected NAV of at least $0.010 per share. This computation is based upon the actual difference and is not based upon the rounding of the NAV to the nearest cent per share.

“Per Share NAV Error” is the difference between the originally computed per share NAV, and the amount that would have been computed had the errors not occurred.

“NAV Error Period” comprises those days during which a NAV Error existed.

“Fund Loss” refers to a situation where a Fund has either paid excessive redemption proceeds as a result of an overstatement of the NAV or received insufficient subscription proceeds as a result of an understatement of the NAV. When such a Fund Loss occurs, the individual Shareholders effecting transactions received a corresponding benefit (a “Shareholder Benefit”).

“Fund Benefit” means a situation where a Fund has either paid insufficient redemption proceeds as a result of an understatement of NAV or received excessive subscription proceeds as a result of an overstatement of NAV. When such a Fund Benefit occurs, the individual Shareholders effecting transactions suffer a corresponding loss (a “Shareholder Loss”).

The term “responsible person” means a person who, by virtue of negligence, fraud, or willful misconduct, caused or contributed to an NAV Error.

2. The following Procedures will be utilized by J.P. Morgan with respect to NAV Error corrections:

(a) If the error in the computation of the net asset value is less than $0.010 per share, no action shall be taken. At the request of Customer, J.P. Morgan will prepare and deliver a written memo to the Customer explaining the cause of error and any remediation.

(b) If a Per Share NAV Error is less than one half of one percent of the originally computed Per Share NAV, J.P. Morgan, on behalf of the Funds, will determine whether total Fund Losses exceeded total Fund Benefits for the NAV Error Period. If the Fund incurred a net loss, the Customer will be responsible for obtaining reimbursement for such loss from the responsible person or persons. If the Fund had a net benefit, no action need be taken; however, such net benefit should not be carried forward to any analyses performed in the future for other NAV Errors that may arise.

(c) If the Per Share NAV Error equals or exceeds one half of one percent of the originally computed per share NAV, 1) account adjustments should be made to compensate Shareholders for Shareholder Losses, and 2) the Customer will be responsible for obtaining reimbursement for such loss from the responsible person or persons for Fund Losses.

(i) With respect to individual Shareholder Losses, the Customer will be responsible for causing the Fund (or responsible party) to pay to individual Shareholders any additional redemption proceeds owed and either refund excess subscription monies paid or credit the Shareholder account as of the date of the NAV Error, for additional shares. Nevertheless, no correction of a given individual Shareholder account shall be made unless the applicable Shareholder Loss for such Shareholder equals or exceeds a de minimis amount of $20.

(ii) With respect to Fund Losses, the Customer will be responsible for causing either the responsible person or persons or the individual Shareholders to reimburse the Fund for the

Fund Services Agreement - US Mutual Funds - June 2016

Page 17

 

amount of the Fund’s Losses. (Note that there is no netting of Fund Losses (as described in (c)(i)above) where the error equals or exceeds ½ of 1% of NAV, to the extent benefits were paid out by the Fund to Shareholders as account adjustments).

(d) In the case of an error that fluctuates above and below one half of one percent, individual Shareholder adjustments should be effected for those days where the NAV Error was equal to or exceeded one half of one percent. With respect to the remaining days, the Fund level process described above in Section 2(b) may be applied.

(e) If there is a subsequent discovery of an error which affects a NAV Error Period that had previously been corrected in the manner described above, the subsequently discovered NAV Error should be analyzed in isolation without taking into consideration the previously corrected NAV Errors.

(f) In cases where a NAV Error has occurred, the Customer, upon J.P. Morgan’s request, will instruct the Transfer Agent to reprocess transactions and to adjust each Shareholder’s Shares upwards or downwards accordingly, at the expense of the responsible person or persons. If the Transfer Agent does not agree to reprocess transactions resulting from a NAV Error for which J.P. Morgan is a responsible person, J.P. Morgan’s liability will be limited to the amount it would have been liable for had the reprocessing occurred.

(g) In cases where J.P. Morgan is not the responsible person with regard to an NAV Error, J.P. Morgan shall be entitled to reasonable compensation for the work it performs with respect to the remediation of the NAV Error.

(h) In cases where J.P. Morgan is a responsible person with regard to an NAV Error, but not the sole responsible person, the Fund, to the extent customary under industry practice, shall seek recovery from each such responsible person, for its proportional share of the applicable Fund Loss or Shareholder Loss.

(i) Subject to the other provisions of this Appendix and to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, in connection with any NAV Error caused by J.P. Morgan’s fraud, negligence, or willful misconduct, for which J.P. Morgan is not otherwise excused under this Agreement, J.P. Morgan shall pay to the Customer (i) the applicable Fund Loss or Shareholder Loss resulting from such NAV Error, and (ii) any other Liabilities incurred by the Customer as a result of, or in connection with, such NAV Error, including any such Liabilities incurred in complying with the requirements of this Appendix.
