The requested information shall be communicated in accordance with standards that are mutually agreed upon by the parties.

3. Limitations on Use of Information. The Funds shall not use the information received from the Intermediary for any purpose other than to comply with SEC Rule 22c-2, and such other applicable laws, rules and regulations.

4. Costs. The Fund Affiliate agrees to reimburse the Intermediary for reasonable costs, as mutually agreed upon by the parties, associated with complying with requests for more than 90 calendar days of transaction information and/or for transaction information older than twelve (12) months.

Timing of Response. The Intermediary agrees to execute instructions as soon as reasonably practicable, but not later than 5 business days after receipt or such other time as agreed upon by the Fund.
