(A)The Named Fiduciary shall continually monitor the suitability of the Trust acquiring and holding Sponsor Stock, under the fiduciary duty rules of section 404(a)(1) of ERISA (as modified by section 404(a)(2) of ERISA). The Trustee shall not be liable for any loss, or expense, which arises from the directions of the Named Fiduciary with respect to the acquisition and holding of Sponsor Stock, unless it is clear on their face that the actions to be taken under those directions would be prohibited by the foregoing fiduciary duty unless or would be contrary to the terms of this Agreement.
(B)Each Participant with an interest in Sponsor Stock (or, in the event of the Participant’s death, his beneficiary) is, for purposes of this Section, hereby designated as a "named fiduciary" (within the meaning of section 403(a)(1) of ERISA), with respect to shares of Sponsor Stock allocated to his or her account but not purchased at his or her direction, and such Participant (or beneficiary) shall have the right to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which the Trustee is to vote or tender such shares.
c. Purchases and Sales of Sponsor Stock for Batch Activity.
Unless otherwise directed by the Sponsor in writing pursuant to directions that the Trustee can administratively implement, the following provisions shall govern purchases and sales of Sponsor Stock for contributions, loan repayments, distributions, loans, withdrawals, or any other purchase or sale of Sponsor Stock related to a transaction that the Sponsor has directed the Trustee in writing to implement on a batch basis ("batch activity").
(A)Open Market Purchases and Sales. Purchases and sales of Sponsor Stock shall be made on the open market in accordance with the Trustee's standard trading guidelines, as they may be amended from time to time, as necessary to honor batch activity. Such general rules shall not apply in the following circumstances:
(1)If the Trustee is unable to purchase or sell the total number of shares required to be purchased or sold on such day as a result of market conditions; or
(2)If the Trustee is prohibited by the SEC, the NYSE or principal exchange on which the Sponsor Stock is traded, or any other regulatory or judicial body from purchasing or selling any or all of the shares required to be purchased or sold on such day. In the event of the occurrence of a circumstance described in (1) or (2) above, the Trustee shall purchase or sell such shares as soon thereafter as administratively feasible, and shall determine the price of such purchases or sales to be the average purchase or sales price of all such shares purchased or sold, respectively. The Trustee may follow
13
written directions from the Named Fiduciary to deviate from the above purchase and sale procedures.
(B)Purchase and Sales from or to Sponsor. If directed by the Named Fiduciary in writing prior to the trading date, the Trustee may purchase or sell Sponsor Stock from or to the Sponsor if the purchase or sale is for adequate consideration (within the meaning of section 3(18) of ERISA) and no commission is charged. If Sponsor contributions (employer) or contributions made by the Sponsor on behalf of the Participants (employee) under the Plan are to be invested in Sponsor Stock, the Sponsor may transfer Sponsor Stock in lieu of cash to the Trust.
d. Purchases and Sales of Sponsor Stock for Participant Initiated Exchanges ("Real Time" Trading).
Unless otherwise directed by the Named Fiduciary in writing pursuant to directions that the Trustee can administratively implement, the following provisions shall govern purchases and sales of Sponsor Stock for Participant-initiated exchanges.
(A)Purchases and Sales of Sponsor Stock. Purchases and sales of Sponsor Stock associated with individual Participant-initiated exchanges into or out of the Stock Fund shall be made on the open market pursuant to order types selected by the Participant in accordance with the Trustee's procedures for "Real Time” Trading." The Named Fiduciary may instruct the Trustee to limit the order types available to Participants.
(1)Automated Order Entry. Sponsor Stock trades associated with Participant-initiated exchanges shall be sent to market as soon as administratively feasible during regular trading hours via an electronic order entry system, unless such trade is treated as a block trade. Such electronic order entry system shall be deemed an Electronic Service for purposes of Section 14 of this Agreement.
(2)Limitations on Trades: Cancellation of Exchange Requests. Trades rejected under rules of the applicable securities exchange will not be executed. The Trustee will not submit orders (or will cancel orders) for stock trades that violate the Trustee’s procedures for “Real Time Trading”. The Trustee shall not submit any trade order associated with a Participant-initiated exchange at any time when the Sponsor Stock Fund has been closed to such activity. Trades associated with Participant-initiated exchanges shall not be transacted at any time when the regular market is closed, or when the SEC, the NYSE or principal exchange on which the Sponsor Stock is traded, or any other regulatory or judicial body has prohibited purchases or sales of any or all of the shares requested to be traded pursuant to the Participant initiated exchange. An exchange requested by the Participant shall be rejected or cancelled, as the case may be, to the extent any accompanying trade is not submitted, not executed or cancelled.
14
(B)Reserve Requirements for Exchanges Into Stock Fund and Corrective Sales. The Participant’s ability to initiate exchanges into the Stock Fund shall be subject to standard reserve requirements applicable to the investment options used to fund the exchange, as established by the Trustee from time to time (or such higher reserve requirements as may be established by the Named Fiduciary in written direction to the Trustee). Requests to exchange into the Sponsor Stock Fund that exceed such reserves, and accompanying trade orders, may be rejected or cancelled. In the event that a buy trade associated with a request to exchange into Sponsor Stock is executed, and the Participant does not have sufficient assets in the designated investment option to fund the trade, the Trustee will liquidate investment options (including those held in other sources eligible for liquidation) in the affected Participant’s account pro rata. In the event that the Participant does not have sufficient assets in any other investment option, the Trustee shall initiate a corrective sale, and shall debit the costs of such corrective trade from the Participant’s account.
(C)Fractional Shares. Participants will be entitled to exchange out fractional shares in the Stock Fund only in connection with a request to exchange out the entire balance of their Stock Fund holdings (or the entire balance in a particular source, as applicable). Fractional shares will be transacted at the price determined by the stock trade order selected by the Participant.
e. Use of an Affiliated Broker.
For all purchases and sales of Sponsor Stock on the open market, whether Participant initiated or otherwise, the Named Fiduciary hereby directs the Trustee to use FBSLLC to provide brokerage services. Subject to the provisions of this agreement, FBSLLC shall execute such trades directly or through any of its affiliates. The provision of brokerage services shall be subject to the following:
(A)Any successor organization of FBSLLC, through reorganization, consolidation, merger or similar transactions, shall, upon consummation of such transaction, become the successor broker in accordance with the terms of this direction provision. FBSLLC may assign its rights and obligations under this agreement to any affiliate, provided that the assignee is bound by the terms hereof, including the provisions concerning remuneration.

15
account, to the extent of his or her individual account balance in the Sponsor Stock Fund subject to Participant direction.
f. Securities Law Reports.
The Sponsor shall be responsible for filing all reports required under Federal or state securities laws with respect to the Trust's ownership of Sponsor Stock, including, without limitation, any reports required under section 13 or 16 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, and shall immediately notify the Trustee in writing of any requirement to stop purchases or sales of Sponsor Stock pending the filing of any report. The Trustee shall provide to the Sponsor such information on the Trust's ownership of Sponsor Stock as the Sponsor may reasonably request in order to comply with Federal or state securities laws.
g. Voting and Tender Offers.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement the provisions of this Section shall govern the voting and tendering of Sponsor Stock. The Sponsor shall pay for all printing, mailing, tabulation and other costs associated with the voting and tendering of Sponsor Stock. The Trustee, after consultation with the Sponsor, shall prepare the necessary documents associated with the voting and tendering of Sponsor Stock.
(A)Voting.
(1)When the issuer of Sponsor Stock prepares for any annual or special meeting, the Sponsor shall notify the Trustee at least thirty (30) days in advance of the intended record date and shall cause a copy of all proxy solicitation materials to be sent to the Trustee. If requested by the Trustee the Sponsor shall certify to the Trustee that the aforementioned materials represent the same information distributed to shareholders of Sponsor Stock. Based on these materials, the Trustee shall prepare a voting instruction form and shall provide a copy of all proxy solicitation materials to be sent to each Participant with an interest in Sponsor Stock held in the Trust, together with the foregoing voting instruction form to be returned to the Trustee or its designee. The form shall show the number of full and fractional shares of Sponsor Stock credited to the Participant's accounts.
(2)Each Participant with an interest in the Sponsor Stock held in the Trust shall have the right to direct the Trustee as to the manner in which the Trustee is to vote (including not to vote) that number of shares of Sponsor Stock credited to the Participant’s accounts (both vested and unvested). Directions from a Participant to the Trustee concerning the voting of Sponsor Stock shall be communicated in writing, or by such other means as agreed upon by the Trustee and the Sponsor. These directions shall be held in confidence by the Trustee and shall not be divulged to the Sponsor, or any officer or employee thereof, or any other person except to the extent that the
16
consequences of such directions are reflected in reports regularly communicated to any such person in the ordinary course of the performance of the Trustee’s services hereunder. Upon its receipt of the directions, the Trustee shall vote the shares of Sponsor Stock as directed by the Participant. Sponsor and Administrator direct Trustee to vote shares of Sponsor Stock that reflect a Participant’s interest in the Stock Fund for which Trustee has received no directions from the Participant in the same proportion on each issue as it votes those shares that reflect all Participants’ interests in the Stock Fund (in the aggregate) for which it received voting instructions from Participants.
(3)Except as otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall vote that number of shares of Sponsor Stock not credited to Participants' accounts in the same proportion on each issue as it votes those shares credited to Participants' accounts for which it received voting directions from Participants.
(B)Tender Offers.
(1)Upon commencement of a tender offer for any securities held in the Trust that are Sponsor Stock, the Sponsor shall timely notify the Trustee in advance of the intended tender date and shall cause a copy of all materials to be sent to the Trustee. The Sponsor shall certify to the Trustee that the aforementioned materials represent the same information distributed to shareholders of Sponsor Stock. Based on these materials and after consultation with the Sponsor, the Trustee shall prepare a tender instruction form and shall provide a copy of all tender materials to be sent to each Participant with an interest in the Stock Fund, together with the foregoing tender instruction form, to be returned to the Trustee or its designee. The tender instruction form shall show the number of full and fractional shares of Sponsor Stock credited to the Participants account (both vested and unvested).
(2)Each Participant with an interest in the Stock Fund shall have the right to direct the Trustee to tender or not to tender some or all of the shares of Sponsor Stock credited to the Participant's accounts (both vested and unvested). Directions from a Participant to the Trustee concerning the tender of Sponsor Stock shall be communicated in writing, or such other means as is agreed upon by the Trustee and the Sponsor. These directions shall be held in confidence by the Trustee and shall not be divulged to the Sponsor, or any officer or employee thereof, or any other person except to the extent that the consequences of such directions are reflected in reports regularly communicated to any such persons in the ordinary course of the performance of the Trustee's services hereunder. The Trustee shall tender or not tender shares of Sponsor Stock as directed by the Participant. Except as otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall not tender shares of Sponsor Stock credited to a Participant's accounts for which it has received no directions from the Participant.
17
(3)Except as otherwise required by law, the Trustee shall tender that number of shares of Sponsor Stock not credited to Participants' accounts in the same proportion as the total number of shares of Sponsor Stock credited to Participants' accounts for which it received instructions from Participants.
(4)A Participant who has directed the Trustee to tender some or all of the shares of Sponsor Stock credited to the Participant's accounts may, at any time prior to the tender offer withdrawal date, direct the Trustee to withdraw some or all of the tendered shares, and the Trustee shall withdraw the directed number of shares from the tender offer prior to the tender offer withdrawal deadline. Prior to the withdrawal deadline, if any shares of Sponsor Stock not credited to Participants' accounts have been tendered, the Trustee shall redetermine the number of shares of Sponsor Stock that would be tendered under Section 5(e)(vii)(B)(3) if the date of the foregoing withdrawal were the date of determination, and withdraw from the tender offer the number of shares of Sponsor Stock not credited to Participants' accounts necessary to reduce the amount of tendered Sponsor Stock not credited to Participants' accounts to the amount so redetermined. A Participant shall not be limited as to the number of directions to tender or withdraw that the Participant may give to the Trustee.
(5)A direction by a Participant to the Trustee to tender shares of Sponsor Stock credited to the Participant's accounts shall not be considered a written election under the Plan by the Participant to withdraw, or have distributed, any or all of his withdrawable shares. The Trustee shall credit to each account of the Participant from which the tendered shares were taken the proceeds received by the Trustee in exchange for the shares of Sponsor Stock tendered from that account. Pending receipt of directions (through the Administrator) from the Participant or the Named Fiduciary, as provided in the Plan, as to which of the remaining investment options the proceeds should be invested in, the Trustee shall invest the proceeds in the investment option described in Schedule "C".
h. General.
With respect to all shareholder rights other than the right to vote, the right to tender, and the right to withdraw shares previously tendered, in the case of Sponsor Stock, the Trustee shall follow the procedures set forth in subsection (A), above.
i. Conversion.
All provisions in this Section shall also apply to any securities received as a result of a conversion of Sponsor Stock.
18
j. Nasdaq Subscriber Agreement.

ii.Accounts.
The Trustee shall keep accurate accounts of all investments, receipts, disbursements, and other transactions hereunder, and shall report the value of the assets held in the Trust as of each Reporting Date. Within thirty (30) days following each Reporting Date or within sixty (60) days in the case of a Reporting Date caused by the resignation or removal of the Trustee, or the termination of this Agreement, the Trustee shall file with the Administrator a written account setting forth all investments, receipts, disbursements, and other transactions effected by the Trustee between the Reporting Date and the prior Reporting Date, and setting forth the value of the Trust as of the Reporting Date.

iii.Inspection and Audit.
The Trustee will provide to auditors (including third-party auditors and Sponsor’s internal audit staff) as Administrator may designate in writing, access to any Trustee owned or managed facility at which the services are being performed, to appropriate Trustee management personnel, and to the data and records (and other documentation reasonably requested by the Administrator or Sponsor) maintained by the Trustee with respect to the services solely for the purpose of examining (i) transactional books and records maintained by the Trustee in order to provide the services, (ii) documentation of service level performance, and (iii) invoices to the Sponsor. Any such audits will be conducted at the Sponsor’s expense. The Sponsor and its auditors will first look to the most recent Service Organization Control I Report Type II (“Type II SOC”), formerly referred to as a Service Auditor’s Report or SAS 70 Report, before conducting further audits. Type II SOC reports will be issued by the Trustee or its affiliate’s independent public accounting firm in accordance with Statement on Standards for Attestation Engagements No. 16 (“SSAE 16”), Reporting on Controls at a Service Organization, or superseding standards set forth by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. Excepting audit requests from governmental or regulatory agencies, if a matter is not covered in such Type II SOC, then the Sponsor will provide the Trustee not less than ninety (90) days prior written notice of an audit and will provide a proposed detailed scope and timeframe of the audit requested by the Sponsor to the Trustee in writing at least sixty (60) days prior to date of the audit. The Sponsor and its auditors will conduct such audits in a manner that will result in a minimum of inconvenience and disruption to the Trustee’s operations. Audits may be conducted only during normal business hours and no more frequently than
21
annually unless otherwise required as a matter of law or for compliance with regulatory or contractual requirements. Any audit assistance provided by the Trustee in excess of thirty-five audit hours per annum shall be provided on a fee-for-service basis. The Sponsor will reimburse the Trustee for any out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Trustee in connection with an audit conducted pursuant to this section. The Sponsor and its auditors will not be entitled to review or audit (i) data or information of other customers or clients of the Trustee, (ii) any of Trustee’s proprietary data, or (iii) any other Confidential Information of the Trustee that is not relevant for the purposes of the audit. The Sponsor and its auditors will not be entitled to logical access to the Trustee’s networks and systems, nor unrestricted physical access to Trustee’s facilities and personnel. Reviews of processes, controls, and support documentation will be facilitated with appropriate Trustee’s personnel. The Trustee will use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate in the audit, will make available on a timely basis the information reasonably required to conduct the audit and will assist the designated employees of the Sponsor or its auditors as reasonably necessary. To the maximum extent possible, audits will be designed and conducted (in such manner and with such frequency) so as not to interfere with the provision of the services. The Sponsor will not use any competitors of the Trustee (or any significant subcontractor of Trustee under this Agreement) to conduct such audits. The auditors and other representatives of the Sponsor will execute and deliver such confidentiality and non-disclosure agreements and comply with such security and confidentiality requirements as the Trustee may reasonably request in connection with such audits.
iv.Notice of Plan Amendment.
The Trustee's provision of the recordkeeping and administrative services set forth in this Section 6 shall be conditioned on the Sponsor delivering to the Trustee a copy of any amendment to the Plan as soon as administratively feasible following the amendment's adoption and on the Administrator providing the Trustee, on a timely basis, with all the information the Trustee deems necessary for it to perform the recordkeeping and administrative services set forth herein, and such other information as the Trustee may reasonably request.

Fees for services are specifically outlined in Schedule B and are based on all of the assumptions identified therein. The Trustee shall maintain its fees for five years beginning October 1, 2024; provided, however, in the event the Plan characteristics referenced in the assumptions outlined in Schedule B change significantly by either falling below or exceeding current or projected levels, such fees may be subject to revision, upon mutual renegotiation. To reflect increased operating costs, Trustee may once each
22
calendar year, but not prior to October 1, 2029, amend Schedule B without the Sponsor's consent upon one hundred eighty (180) days prior notice to the Sponsor.
Any overcharge by the Trustee, or underpayment of fees or expenses that is the result of a good-faith fee dispute, shall bear interest until paid by the appropriate party with such interest determined by calculating the average of the prime rates reported in the Wall Street Journal from the date of overpayment or underpayment until such corrective payment is made by the appropriate party.

However, the Trustee disclaims any liability for interception of any such data or communications. The Trustee reserves the right not to accept data or communications transmitted electronically or via electronic media by the Sponsor or a third party if it determines that the method of delivery does not provide adequate data security, or if it is not administratively feasible for the Trustee to use the data security provided. The Trustee shall not be responsible for, and makes no warranties regarding access, speed or availability of Internet or network services, or any other service required for electronic communication, nor does the Trustee make any warranties, express or implied, and specifically disclaims all warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement. The Trustee shall not be responsible for any loss or damage related to or resulting from any changes or modifications to the Electronic Services made in violation of this Agreement.

The Administrator and Sponsor acknowledge that Participants who elect to use FullView® must provide passwords and PINs to the provider of data aggregation services. The Trustee will use External Account Information to furnish and support FullView® or other services provided pursuant to this Agreement, and as otherwise directed by the Participant.

Section 17. Confidentiality.
Each Party shall maintain the confidentiality of the other Party’s Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care it uses to safeguard its own information (or information of its customers) of a similar nature and with no less than reasonable care. Each Party may use and disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to its employees, Affiliates, permissible assigns, subcontractors, advisors, and agents to the extent reasonably necessary to perform its obligations, or maintain or improve services, or enforce its rights under this Agreement; provided, the disclosing Party shall ensure that such parties are bound by confidentiality provisions substantially similar to those in this Agreement. Each Party will be responsible for any improper disclosure of Confidential Information by itself or its such parties. A Party is not obligated to disclose its Confidential Information to the other Party, provided Fidelity will be
28
excused from performance to the extent Client withholds necessary information. Neither Party will sell or lease the other Party’s Confidential Information.
A Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information as required to respond to any valid subpoena, court order, litigation, or regulatory request, or satisfy any legal requirement, provided, to the extent not legally prohibited, such Party advises the other Party prior to disclosure so the other Party may act as it considers appropriate. Fidelity may respond to routine subpoenas or court orders commonly received in its role as recordkeeper (e.g., domestic relations orders) without providing notice.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Trustee may use Sponsor's name with Sponsor's prior consent in a general list of its customers, including any such list compiled for Fidelity Investment's annual report to shareholders, with Sponsor's prior consent.

vi.Section Headings.
The headings of the various sections and subsections of this Agreement have been inserted only for the purposes of convenience and are not part of this Agreement and shall not be deemed in any manner to modify, explain, expand or restrict any of the provisions of this Agreement.
vii.Communications.
a.Content
The Administrator Sponsor shall provide all information requested by the Trustee to help it prepare Participant communications necessary to allow the Trustee to meet its obligations under this Agreement. The Administrator represents that Participant communications prepared by the Administrator will include any information required by applicable regulations to afford Plan fiduciaries protection under ERISA §404(c). The Trustee shall have no responsibility or liability for any Losses resulting from the use of information provided by or from communications prepared by the Sponsor.
b.Delivery
In the event that the Administrator retains any responsibility for delivering Participant communications to some or all Participants and beneficiaries, the Administrator agrees to furnish the communications to such Participants in a timely manner as determined under applicable law (including ERISA §404(c) and the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requirements for "blackout" notices). The Administrator also represents that such communications will be delivered to such Participants and beneficiaries in a manner permitted by applicable law, including electronic delivery that is consistent with applicable regulations regarding electronic transmission (for example, DOL Regulation §2520.104b-1 ). The Trustee and its affiliates shall have no responsibility or liability for any Losses resulting from the failure of the Sponsor to furnish any such communications in a manner which is timely and consistent with applicable law.
The provisions of this Agreement shall apply to all information provided and all Participant communications prepared and delivered by the Administrator or the Trustee during the implementation period prior to the execution date of this Agreement and throughout the term set forth in this Agreement.
c.Survival.
Trustee’s and Sponsor's respective obligations under this Agreement, which by their nature would continue beyond the termination of this Agreement, including but not limited to those contained in Sections 6(c), 8(e), 17, and 19, shall survive any termination of the Agreement.
d.Merger.
The Trustee possesses the specific authority to, at the direction of the Named Fiduciary, execute any instrument necessary to effect Plan asset transfers with trustees of other trusts exempt from tax under
30
Code §501(a) and which are part of retirement plans described in Code §401(a) whether or not sponsored by the Sponsor and to accept the direct transfer of Plan assets, or to transfer Plan assets, as a party to any such agreement, provided that the Trustee shall not be obligated to receive any direct transfer unless prior thereto or coincident therewith, as the Trustee may specify to the Named Fiduciary in writing, the Trustee has received such reconciliation, allocation, investment or other information concerning, or such direction, contribution or representation with respect to, the contribution or transfer or the source thereof as the Trustee may require.
This Trust may be merged or consolidated with, or its assets or liabilities may be transferred to, any other trust only if the benefits which would be received by each Participant in the Plan, in the event of a termination of the Plan immediately after such merger, consolidation or transfer, are at least equal to the benefits the Participant would have received if the Plan had terminated immediately before the merger, consolidation or transfer.
The Trustee may accept a direct transfer of assets on behalf of an individual Participant only if first authorized by the Administrator. In the event of a direct transfer the Trustee shall hold, administer and distribute transferred assets as a part of the Trust Fund for the benefit of the Participant on whose behalf the Trustee has accepted the transfer in a manner sufficient to reflect the value of the transferred assets.
viii.Advice Services
With respect to any Plan designated as a defined contribution plan and that is subject to Title I of ERISA, if Fidelity provides to Participants or Plan beneficiaries Services that constitute fiduciary investment advice that is subject to ERISA § 3(21), Fidelity will:
a.to the extent Fidelity provides advice to Participants or Plan beneficiaries regarding investment of their account, only recommend products and/or services from investment options available under the Plan recordkept by Fidelity as outlined in disclosures provided to Participants from time to time and made available to Client; and
b.to the extent it provides advice regarding plan distributions, only recommend the following: retaining balance in the Plan, roll over to another eligible plan recordkept by Fidelity, and/ or rollover to a Fidelity Individual Retirement Account; and
c.only provide point-in-time recommendations and investment assistance and has no obligation to monitor any such recommendation to determine whether it is followed by such Participant or Plan beneficiary or should change over time, and will provide each Participant or Plan beneficiary with information on how to contact Fidelity to obtain updated or new recommendations; and
d.to the extent necessary to avoid a non-exempt prohibited transaction under ERISA and/or the Internal Revenue Code, rely on one or more exemptions that may apply to its provision of investment advice, potentially including the following - i) the Pension Protection Act computer model and/or level fee exemptions under Section 408(b)(14) and 408(g) of ERISA and Labor Regs. Section 2550.408g-1; ii) Prohibited Transaction Class Exemption 2020-02, Improving Investment Advice for Workers & Retirees; and iii) other exemptions that exist under applicable law, now or in the future. The advice arrangements subject to §§ 408(b)(14) and 408(g) of ERISA and Labor regulations § 2550.408g-1 will be audited annually by an independent auditor for compliance with the requirements of the statutory exemption and related regulations. A copy of the auditor’s findings will be made available within 60 days following completion of the audit. Client agrees that Fidelity may provide advice to Participants pursuant to these exemptions.
31
Furthermore, with respect to any Plan designated as a defined contribution plan that is not subject to Title I of ERISA, Fidelity may make education and guidance Services available to Plan Participants that may include investment advice (as defined under the Investment Advisers Act or other applicable law) and cause Fidelity to be considered a fiduciary with respect to such Services. If any such Plan is not subject to ERISA because it is excluded from coverage under Title I of ERISA by virtue of the Department of Labor's regulation at 29 C.F.R 2510.3-2(f), the Client will not be considered by Fidelity to be arranging for or endorsing any advice, or establishing or maintaining a retirement plan.
Section 19. Use of Data.
In order to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement, the Trustee may receive Personal Data. With respect to Personal Data it receives, the Trustee agrees to (i) safeguard Personal Data in accordance with its privacy policy, and (ii) exercise the same standard of care in safeguarding such Personal Data that it uses to protect the personal data of its own employees.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Administrator may monitor the Trustee's interactions with Participants and the Administrator authorizes the Trustee to permit third-party prospects of the Trustee to monitor Participants' interactions for the purpose of evaluating Trustee's services.
i.Data Security. Trustee will follow the information security practices detailed in the Information Security Program (as may be updated by Trustee from time to time), made available to Sponsor through PSW® or other electronic means and the attached Schedule I - Information Security Schedule.
ii.Restrictions on Use of Personal Data. Trustee’s privacy information management system governing the privacy of Personal Data in support of the DC service line is aligned and certified to the ISO 27701 framework. To provide assurances about its privacy governance framework, Trustee will make available its current ISO 27701 certification. Trustee will treat Personal Data in accordance with its Privacy Policy and the Consumer Privacy Rights Addendum (as may be updated by Trustee from time to time), made available to the Administrator through PSW® or other electronic means. Trustee will only use Personal Data as the Administrator authorizes, including as provided under this Agreement, or in response to a Participant’s expression of a need or interest in a Fidelity product or service, or as the Participant otherwise permits.
iii.Data Conditions. Sponsor represents that all data and documentation, including employee data and/or participant data (the “Data”) provided to Trustee to be used in performing the services under this Agreement shall be provided in a timely manner, in good condition, correct, complete and submitted in accordance with Trustee’s specifications (such specifications to be provided to the Sponsor by the Trustee from time to time) and guidelines, including the Reference Guidelines developed by the Trustee with respect to Content to be posted on NetBenefits. Trustee shall be entitled to rely on the accuracy and completeness of such data and shall have (i) no liability for inaccuracies in Data originating from Sponsor, the Sponsor participants or Sponsor’s third party service providers, (ii) no duty to verify such information except where the data is clearly erroneous on its face, and (iii) no responsibility for Content posted on NetBenefits. If any data is not submitted in accordance with these requirements, or if Trustee detects errors or omissions in the data
32
submitted, Trustee shall promptly notify Sponsor and return such data to Sponsor for correction and modification unless (i) Sponsor and Trustee agree, in writing, that Trustee is to make corrections or modifications to the data for an additional fee, or (ii) the Sponsor will provide prompt direction as necessary to correct any errors or omissions in the Data. The Trustee may remove, edit or modify Content that does not comply with the Reference Guidelines. For purposes of these requirements and except to the extent such treatment would be inconsistent with applicable law, Trustee may treat scanned electronic copies of paper records as the official records.
iv.Customer Protection. Trustee maintains controls (e.g., two factor authentication and real-time security alerts) designed to protect Participants against risks of identity theft and fraud. To decrease such risks, Trustee requires Participant contact information (such as address, email, and mobile phone number). Sponsor authorizes Trustee to collect such information from Participants at registration or periodically thereafter and shall timely provide Trustee such information on request, as Trustee may be unable to administer such controls without such information. If either Party becomes aware of security concerns regarding a Participant’s account, Sponsor will reasonably assist Trustee in the investigation.
Section 20. Governing Law.
i.Massachusetts Law Controls.
This Agreement is being made in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and the Trust shall be administered as a Massachusetts trust. The validity, construction, effect, and administration of this Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, except to the extent those laws are superseded under section 514 of ERISA.
ii.Trust Agreement Controls.
The Trustee is not a party to the Plan, and in the event of any conflict between the provisions of the Plan and the trust provisions of this Agreement, the trust provisions of this Agreement shall control.
Section 21. Plan Qualification.
The Plan is intended to be qualified under section 401(a) of the Code and the Trust established hereunder is intended to be tax-exempt under section 501(a) of the Code. The Sponsor represents that to the extent Participants are able to instruct the investment of their account, the Plan is intended to constitute a plan described in section 404(c) of ERISA and Title 29 of the Code of Federal Regulations Section 2550.404c-
The Sponsor has the sole responsibility for ensuring the Plan's qualified status and full compliance with the applicable requirements of ERISA. The Sponsor hereby certifies that it has furnished to the Trustee a complete copy of the Plan and all amendments thereto in effect as of the date of this Agreement.
Section 22. Use of Omnibus Accounts.
Notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, Sponsor understands, acknowledges and agrees that, (i) the Trustee utilizes omnibus accounts at unaffiliated banks to facilitate transactions for
33
the defined contribution plans it services and commingles funds in transit to or from the Plan, including other funds similarly in transit to or from other plans and (ii) if markets permit, omnibus account balances may be invested in short-term investments with the aim of earning a rate approximating the Target Federal Funds Rate and/or money market rates (such earnings are referred to as “float earnings”); and (iii) the Trustee will use these earnings to pay bank fees associated with the above-referenced defined contribution plan transactions and make other required adjustments and will retain any float earnings that exceed such fees and adjustments as compensation for its services, except as otherwise set forth in Schedule B, Fee Schedule. The Trustee shall pay bank fees to the extent they exceed float earnings.
The amount of float earnings generated depends on market conditions, as well as on the length of time that funds are held in the omnibus accounts. The following time frames apply with respect to funds held in these accounts:
• If contributions and instructions to purchase investment options are received by the Trustee In Good Order before the close of trading, the Trustee executes transactions in the investment options as of that day’s closing price (the “transaction date” or “T”). Contributions are held in the omnibus account until the following business day (“T+1”) for the vast majority of investment options. For share accounted company stock transactions, contributions may be held in the omnibus account until T+3.
•Instructions to exchange investment options received by the Trustee In Good Order before the close of trading are processed in that day’s nightly cycle. For the vast majority of investment options, exchanges generate no overnight balances, as money is received from one investment option and conveyed to another investment option on the same business day. The limited exceptions to this would occur if investment options have different settlement rules and Fidelity Management Trust Company serves as trustee of the Plan, in which case balances attributable to the exchange may remain in an omnibus account for a few days.
•Instructions to make disbursements received In Good Order before the close of trading are processed in that day’s nightly cycle and reflected as debits from participant accounts as of that date (“T”). Proceeds attributable to the disbursement are received into the omnibus account based on the settlement period for the investment options, which in the substantial majority of investment options is T+1. After the deduction of tax withholding, if applicable, disbursements are typically made on T+2 or T+3 either through electronic funds transfers or by mailing a check. Disbursement proceeds distributed by check, net of any tax withholdings, remain in the omnibus account until the check is presented for payment.
Neither the Sponsor nor the Plan shall be liable for any diminution in the value of such overnight investments. Provided that the Sponsor has provided timely funding, neither the Sponsor nor the Plan shall be responsible for any failure to settle or clear from such omnibus accounts any proper or timely trade or disbursement if such failure results from a decrease in the value, or temporary inaccessibility of funds attributable to either the use of a specific bank or the overnight investment of balances from such accounts.
Section 23. Investment Management Communications.
Notwithstanding any provision of the Agreement to the contrary, the Administrator and Sponsor hereby authorize the Trustee and affiliates of the Trustee, throughout the term of this Agreement and any extensions thereto, to provide Participants with communications related to workplace and/or personal investment management products or services. The Trustee and affiliates of the Trustee may use for such
34
purpose any information received hereunder or otherwise related to the Plan or Sponsor; all such information collected or used shall be treated in accordance with Fidelity Investments' privacy policy.
35

i.Rebalancing Participant Accounts. Assets in the Participant’s Plan Account are rebalanced on an ongoing basis to ensure alignment with the assigned asset allocation strategy and the current model portfolio. There are two primary types of rebalancing activities:
1)Portfolios may be rebalanced periodically to account for changes in market valuations to ensure Participant Accounts are properly aligned to their model portfolio allocations.
Portfolios are also monitored each Business Day to ensure that any Participant directed activities (such as withdrawals or loans) have not caused the Participant Account to vary from the assigned market-adjusted model portfolio by more than a standard drift allowance set by Strategic Advisers.
2)Rebalance transactions will be created in the nightly cycle for processing on the following Business Day and will be reflected in Participant Accounts on the day following the rebalance transaction date.
ii.Reallocation of Model Portfolios. If there is a reallocation of the model portfolio (resulting from review of the Plan’s investment options or a change in the Plan investment option menu), those Participant Accounts that vary from the revised model portfolio by more than a standard drift allowance set by Strategic Advisers will be flagged for reallocation. Reallocation transactions will be processed using the same rules as for rebalance transactions.
iii.Changes to Investor Profile. If a change in model portfolios is required as a result of an annual or ad hoc review of the Participant’s investor profile completed before Market Close on a Business Day, the required exchanges shall be processed within the next 5 Business Days, and reflected in the Participant’s Account within three Business Days.
iv.Termination of Service. If receipt of a Participant’s election to terminate Personalized Planning & Advice is confirmed before Market Close, the Account will not be flagged for rebalancing or reallocation, and any pending rebalance or reallocation transactions will be automatically cancelled. If receipt of a Participant’s election to terminate Personalized Planning & Advice is confirmed after Market Close, and an exchange is then pending for processing in the nightly cycle for such date, such exchanges shall be processed as of the Market Close on such date.

Schedule A to Investment Management Agreement (FPPA)
Fees for Managed Account Service
Plan Name: Zions Bancorporation, N.A. Payshelter 401(k) and Employee Stock Ownership Plan
Plan Number: 29148
Beginning upon the Plan’s enrollment in the Managed Account Service, the annual advisory fee for the Managed Account Service will be assessed based on a percentage of the average daily balance of Managed Assets of enrolled Participants. The advisory fee will be charged to cover ongoing management of the Managed Assets, and related servicing and Participant communication. The fee is payable quarterly in arrears, and will be calculated on the basis of daily Participant balances, generally on the 25th day of the last month of the Participant statement cycle quarter (or the next Business Day if the 25th is not a Business Day).
Unless paid by the Sponsor, the Trustee or its agent will redeem investments in the amount of the net advisory fee directly from enrolled Participants’ Plan accounts on the Business Day following the fee calculation. The amount of the fee deducted from a Participant’s account will be noted on the Participant’s statement.
The annual net advisory fee for the Managed Account Service will be calculated by deducting a Plan Credit Amount (as defined below) from the Plan’s annual gross advisory fee set forth in the table below.
ANNUAL GROSS ADVISORY FEE SCHEDULE
Average Daily Balance of Managed Assets | Less Than 20% Eligible Participant Enrollment | Equal to, or Greater Than, 20% Eligible Participant Enrollment1 | ||||||
For the first $100,000 in assets, or portion thereof | 0.55% | 0.50% | ||||||
For the next $150,000 in assets, or portion thereof | 0.50% | 0.40% | ||||||
All assets over $250,000 | 0.35% | 0.25% |
*The Gross Advisory fees applicable to plans that exceed 20% enrollment will take effect beginning with the first day of the quarter in which the 20% threshold was exceeded.
Plan Credit Amount and Net Advisory Fee. The purpose of the Plan Credit Amount is to reduce the annual gross advisory fee payable by the Plan by the amount of asset-based fees, if any, Strategic Advisers or its affiliates receive for management of Fidelity Mutual Funds in which Managed Assets are invested, and for other services related to any other investment option offered under the Plan in which Managed Assets are invested.
This Plan Credit Amount will be calculated daily in the following manner: For each investment option in which Managed Assets are invested, an amount will be calculated equal to the sum of (a) the actual underlying investment management fees paid to Strategic Advisers or its affiliates from such investment if it is a Fidelity Mutual Fund (but not other fund expenses such as transfer agency fees); and (b) the servicing or other fees paid to and retained by Strategic Advisers and its affiliates based on assets or Participants in any investment option other than Fidelity Mutual Funds. The resulting amounts for all investments of Managed Assets will be added together to arrive at the Plan Credit Amount. The Plan Credit Amount will be applied (as a percentage) equally across all Participant accounts to arrive at the annual net advisory fee for that Participant. It is expected that the Plan Credit Amount will vary over time, based upon the funds selected for investment of Managed Assets.
In the event a Participant's participation in the Managed Account Service is terminated before the end of a quarter but such Participant remains enrolled in the Plan, the gross advisory fee applicable to that quarter will be prorated based on the number of days the account was managed during the quarter, and such Participant's net advisory fees for the pro-rated quarter will be calculated using the Plan Credit Amount applicable to the prior quarter.
If, prior to the end of a billing quarter, either, (a) a Participant's participation in the Managed Account Service is terminated simultaneously with that Participant's enrollment in the Plan, or (b) the Plan terminates the Managed Account Service in its entirety, then the gross advisory fee applicable to that quarter will be prorated based on the number of days the account was managed during the quarter. In such cases, a Participant's gross advisory fees for the pro-rated quarter will be reduced by a
credit amount equal to (a) the actual underlying investment management fees paid to Strategic Advisers or its affiliates from investments in such Participant's account for Fidelity Mutual Funds (but not other fund expenses such as transfer agency fees); and (b) the servicing or other fees paid to and retained by Strategic Advisers and its affiliates based on assets from such Participant's account invested in any investment option other than Fidelity Mutual Funds.
As noted above, the Plan's annual gross advisory fee has been determined based on the composition of the Plan's available investment options. The Plan's annual gross advisory fee has been set at a level that, when reduced by the Plan Credit Amount, should result in Participants paying approximately the annual target net fee shown below. Note that, because the Plan Credit Amount will vary over time, the actual amount of net advisory fee paid by any Participant will vary based upon, among other things, the funds selected for investment by the Service and the number and asset allocations of Participants enrolled in the Plan. As a result, a Participant's net advisory fee may be higher or lower than the target net advisory shown in the table below:
TARGET ANNUAL NET ADVISORY FEE SCHEDULE
Average daily account balance | Less than 20% eligible participant enrollment | Greater than 20% eligible participant enrollment | ||||||
For the first $100,000 or portion thereof | 0.50% | 0.45% | ||||||
For the next $100,000 to $250,000, or portion thereof | 0.45% | 0.35% | ||||||
All additional assets over $250,000 | 0.30% | 0.20% |
As noted above, the Plan Credit Amount and annual net advisory fee will vary over time. However, given the investment options available in the Plan as of the date of this Agreement and expected rates of enrollment in the Service, Strategic Advisers anticipates that the annual net advisory fees paid by any Participant in the Plan will fall within the ranges shown below.
TARGET RANGE OF ANNUAL NET ADVISORY FEES
Average daily account balance | Less than 20% eligible participant enrollment | Greater than 20% eligible participant enrollment | ||||||
For the first $100,000 or portion thereof | 0.55% - 0.45% | 0.50%-0.40% | ||||||
For the next $100,000 to $250,000, or portion thereof | 0.50%-0.40% | 0.40%-0.30% | ||||||
All additional assets over $250,000 | 0.35%-0.25% | 0.25%-0.15% |
In rare circumstances, due to the variable nature of the Plan Credit Amount, the net advisory fee payable by Participants may fall outside of the ranges shown above.
The annual net advisory fee shall be charged in addition to any applicable management fees, purchase fee, short-term trading fee, or similar fee payable to the applicable mutual fund, or any fee paid to Strategic Advisers or its affiliates for services rendered to the Plan (including trustee or recordkeeping services) or to the investment options offered under the Plan.
Note: Should the Sponsor or Authorizing Party modify the investment options available through the Plan, Strategic Advisers shall have the right to modify this pricing schedule upon sixty (60) days' notice.
From time to time, Strategic Advisers may provide a pricing incentive to encourage enrollment in the service. Unless otherwise specified, the pricing incentives will either allow eligible Plan participants who are not enrolled in the service to have the Service free of Advisory Fees for a stated period of time, or will allow eligible participants who are not enrolled in the service a stated discount from the plan's Gross Advisory fee during a specified period. The Authorizing Party will receive prior notice of any pricing incentive. In the unlikely event that the Plan Credit Amount exceeds the Gross Advisory Fees for any quarter in which a pricing incentive is in effect, the excess shall be added to the Plan Credit Amount for the following quarter. In such event, no new pricing incentives will be initiated until any previously unused Plan Credit Amount has been used to offset Gross Advisory Fees. In the event that there is unused Plan Credit Amounts for three successive quarters, the amount shall be converted to a Service Credit, which may be applied exclusively for any Plan-related service obtained by the Plan from Strategic Advisers or any Strategic Advisers affiliate that would otherwise be payable under the terms of existing agreements (other than non-SAI investment management fees, expenses already deducted from Participant accounts, or expenses incorporated into a mil rate). The Service Credit will be credited to a non-interest bearing hypothetical account in respect of the Plan, and will expire twelve months after the end of the quarter in which it was credited.
Schedule B to Investment Management Agreement (FPPA)
Investment Guidelines for Fidelity® Personalized Planning & Advice
In providing discretionary management, Strategic Advisers shall manage Managed Assets in an enrolled Participant’s Account by selecting from among the Investment Options in order to provide diversification appropriate for the enrolled Participant. Strategic Advisers will allocate the Participant’s portfolio across various asset classes to try to achieve the long-term goal of seeking an appropriate level of returns for a given level of risk.
FPWA shall assign the Participant to an appropriate asset mix based on the appropriate risk/reward trade-offs for the Participant. To determine the appropriate mix, FPWA will consider the Participant’s date of birth, assumed retirement age, Account balance, and other personal information provided by the recordkeeper or by the Participant directly through a series of questions or through the incorporation of available online information. This profile information may include the Participant’s risk preferences, investment experience, current and future income, and potential withdrawal needs, depending on the availability of such information and the willingness of the Participant to provide such information. It may also include information about assets held by the Participant in other accounts (including amounts held in other plans or accounts serviced by its Affiliates) and the asset allocation of these accounts. FPWA will base its proposed asset mix on the amount of information provided by the Participant but shall not require information from the Participant beyond (i) correct date of birth information for each plan Participant, and (ii) designating the expected retirement age for each Participant.
Strategic Advisers shall design model portfolios for the plan by selecting a combination of Investment Options that track the risk and diversification attributes of the targeted asset allocation within an appropriate range. Based on the information outlined above, FPWA will assign the Participant to one of the model portfolios.
Sponsor or the Authorizing Party has chosen the Managed Account Service’s “core” investment management approach (the “core approach”) for the management of Managed Assets of enrolled Participants. The core approach evaluates all eligible Investment Options, including actively managed funds, index-based funds, and extended asset class investment strategies when building portfolios. The Managed Account Service chosen by Sponsor and/or the Authorizing Party employs active asset allocation as part of this investment process. Strategic Advisers’ active asset allocation process attempts to adjust the long-term asset allocation of the portfolios to increase return potential and/or diversification benefits by applying research-driven primary asset class weightings. Please see Terms and Conditions brochure for the Managed Account Service for more information.
Participant asset allocations generally will be reviewed three to six times per year, and a Participant may be reassigned to an asset allocation that matches his or her updated profile. A Participant may be reassigned to an appropriate asset allocation and portfolio any time the Participant informs FPWA and Strategic Advisers of a change to his or her profile.
Authorizing Party shall be responsible for providing correct date of birth information for each Participant. In addition, if the Participant does not provide information designating their expected retirement date, the Authorizing Party will either (i) provide a default retirement date to be used in scoring Participants or (ii) direct FPWA and Strategic Advisers to use the default retirement date designated by the Social Security Administration for such Participant.
Strategic Advisers shall invest eligible amounts held in, or contributed to, the accounts of enrolled Participants in accordance with the model portfolio, as it may be adjusted from time to time for market fluctuation, provided that Strategic Advisers shall not manage amounts held in Sponsor Stock (if applicable), or contributions required to be invested in Sponsor Stock, except to counterbalance against such Sponsor Stock as described below. Enrolled Participant Accounts may be rebalanced periodically to align their Accounts to their assigned model portfolio, or if their Accounts drift materially from the market-adjusted model portfolio designated by Strategic Advisers. Strategic Advisers may change the model portfolios as appropriate for changes in the Investment Options, market performance, or economic conditions.
FPWA and Strategic Advisers shall have no independent obligation under this IMA to value assets under its management but shall instead rely upon valuations provided by the trustee, custodian, recordkeeper or its agent, or an external money manager, if applicable.
Special Guidelines for Sponsor Stock Holdings (if applicable): Strategic Advisers will not invest Managed Assets in Sponsor Stock. An enrolled Participant whose Account is invested in Sponsor Stock will be offered the choice whether to (i) have FPWA ignore such holdings in assigning an asset allocation to the Participant or (ii) assign an asset allocation that attempts to offset the risk characteristics associated with an investment in a security. If a Participant elects to offset the Sponsor Stock holdings, FPWA will assign the Participant to a portfolio that attempts to account for their holdings in Sponsor Stock, based on the Participant’s level of Sponsor Stock holdings in their Account. If a Participant fails to direct Strategic Advisers as to whether to offset or ignore his or her Sponsor Stock positions, the Authorizing Party hereby directs FPWA to assign the Participant into a portfolio that attempts to offset
the risk characteristics of the Participant’s Sponsor Stock position.
Strategic Advisers will not make decisions with respect to the exercise of any rights accruing to Investment Options including, without limitation, shareholder rights to vote proxies or tender or exchange shares, or rights arising out of bankruptcy or litigation. Decisions with respect to the exercise of any such rights shall be made in accordance with the provisions of the Trust, and Strategic Advisers shall not be required to take such matters into account in making its investment decisions.
Managed Assets of enrolled Participants may be invested in any Investment Options available for new investment by enrolled Participants other than assets held in or investment options available in self-directed brokerage accounts (and Sponsor Stock, if applicable) subject to the restrictions described below.
To the extent a Participant is enrolled in more than one Account within the Managed Account Service, FPWA and Strategic Advisers will share such Participant data across Accounts and Plans. FPWA and Strategic Advisers will use such Participant’s data provided in connection with one Account for updating or management purposes in other Accounts of such Participant that are also managed by the Managed Account Service.
Managed Assets of enrolled Participants will not be invested in any core Investment Option that is closed to new investment by eligible Participants. Certain investments – such as “investment strategy options” – may be excluded from the model portfolio construction process. The Authorizing Party shall have the right to impose reasonable restrictions upon Strategic Advisers with respect to investment management, other than those set out here, provided that it shall first propose such restrictions in writing to Strategic Advisers, and provided that Strategic Advisers shall have thirty (30) business days to determine whether such restriction is reasonable.
To the extent that the Authorizing Party or Sponsor has determined to allow Participants who have self-directed brokerage assets to invest in the Managed Account Service, any self-directed brokerage assets held by the Participant will not be included in the Managed Assets. In addition, all future contributions into the Participant Account will be directed
into the portion of the Participant’s Account to be managed by Strategic Advisers. Participants will have the opportunity, if they choose, to reinvest assets from their self-directed brokerage account into the portion of the Participant’s Account to be managed by Strategic Advisers, but such participants will not have the option of withdrawing such assets to reinvest through their self-directed brokerage account.
With respect to any stable value option or custom fund option within a Plan lineup, Strategic Advisers will use such stable value option as the short-term position in constructing its portfolios. The Authorizing Party shall be responsible for obtaining the approval of the stable value option or custom fund provider prior to the implementation of the Managed Account Service.
The Managed Account Service will only consider Fidelity Mutual Funds if such funds have been selected by Sponsor or the Authorizing Party and included in the Plan Investment Options offered to Participants and beneficiaries. To the extent that the Managed Account Service includes one or more Fidelity Mutual Funds in model portfolios utilized by Participants, Strategic Advisers believes such fund or funds are appropriate because each such fund is an Investment Option that, in combination with other Investment Options in the model portfolio, provide a resulting portfolio that tracks the risk and diversification attributes of the targeted asset allocation. Strategic Advisers constructs and manages each model portfolio by applying a quantitative investment methodology. In constructing model portfolios, Strategic Advisers employs a process that is independent with respect to fund family or investment manager.
In addition to the discretionary investment management services described above, through the Managed Account Service FPWA provides non-discretionary, web-based and representative-led financial planning and participant assistance. This financial planning is designed to help enrolled Participants who wish to create, implement, and track a holistic, integrated financial wellness and retirement plan. A team of FPWA advisors will be available to provide ongoing support and to help enrolled participants with financial planning and the servicing of their Managed Assets in their Account. In general, FPWA advisors will only be available via telephone or web access.
These Investment Guidelines may be changed upon sixty (60) days written notice to the Authorizing Party
