With respect to any shareholder mailing processed by Computershare, 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.

Offering Administration Fee:  A minimum fee of $5,000 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 Computershare, 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 $2.00 each.  This fee is in addition to any fees Computershare 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 Computershare 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 Computershare 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 Computershare’s then-current deconversion fee schedule.  Computershare may withhold the Client’s records, reports and unused certificate stock pending Client’s payment in full of all fees and expenses owed to Computershare 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 Computershare’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 Computershare to (i) make any adjustments and/or modifications to its current system, or (ii) provide additional services to Client for which Computershare is not being compensated hereunder, then Client shall compensate Computershare (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 Computershare’s standard fees established, in good faith, with respect to such additional services.

Other Services:  Fees for any services provided to Client by or on behalf of Computershare hereunder that are not set forth above will be based on Computershare’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.
