• Certain Procedures MS&Co. is hereby authorized and instructed to calculate Available Cash through the following procedures. MS&Co. shall first calculate Customer’s excess equity in the form of available USD cash balances held on Customer’s behalf by MS&Co. in the Account subject to and in accordance with the provisions of the Futures Agreement (the “Excess Equity”). For the avoidance of doubt, Excess Equity may, at the discretion of MS&Co., be determined after taking into account any rights of set-off, netting and any other application of Customer’s cash balances to its obligations owed to MS&Co. (or, if applicable, its affiliates) to the extent permitted under the Futures Agreement. MS&Co. shall then subtract the Withholding Amount from the Excess Equity. ( The resulting amount is then available for the purchase of U.S. Treasury Securities in connection with MS&Co.’s provision of the Service pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. MS&Co. is hereby authorized and instructed to withhold from inclusion in its computation of Excess Equity a percentage of available cash, as determined by Customer in its discretion (the “Withholding Amount”), for the purpose of (i) satisfying Customer’s obligations in respect of the Futures Account for that day; (ii) satisfying Customer’s margin requirements in respect of the Futures Account for that day and (iii) protecting against the possibility of adverse market moves causing Customer to incur a debit balance in the Futures Account.

• OPERATIONAL PROCEDURES In order to minimize operational problems, it will be necessary for trade information to be supplied in a secure manner by the Subadviser to the Fund’s Service Providers, including: JPMorgan Chase Bank, National Association (the “Custodian”), Virtus Fund Services (the “Fund Administrator”) BNY Mellon Investment Servicing (US) Inc., (the “Sub-Accounting Agent”), any Prime Broker to the Series, and all other Counterparties/Brokers as required. The Subadviser must furnish the Fund’s service providers with required daily information as to executed trades in a format and time-frame agreed to by the Subadviser, Custodian, Fund Administrator, Sub-Accounting Agent and Prime Broker/Counterparties and designated persons of the Fund. Trade information sent to the Custodian, Fund Administrator, Sub-Accounting Agent and Prime Broker/Counterparties must include all necessary data within the required timeframes to allow such parties to perform their obligations to the Series. The Sub-Accounting Agent specifically requires a daily trade blotter with a summary of all trades, in addition to trade feeds, including, if no trades are executed, a report to that effect. Daily information as to executed trades for same-day settlement and future trades must be sent to the Sub-Accounting Agent no later than 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) on the day of the trade each day the Fund is open for business. All other executed trades must be delivered to the Sub-Accounting Agent on Trade Date plus 1 by Noon (Eastern Time) to ensure that they are part of the Series’ NAV calculation. (The Subadviser will be responsible for reimbursement to the Fund for any loss caused by the Subadviser’s failure to comply with the requirements of this Schedule A.) On fiscal quarter ends and calendar quarter ends, all trades must be delivered to the Sub-Accounting Agent by 4:30 p.m. (Eastern Time) for inclusion in the financial statements of the Series. The data to be sent to the Sub-Accounting Agent and/or Fund Administrator will be as agreed by the Subadviser, Fund Administrator, Sub-Accounting Agent and designated persons of the Fund and shall include (without limitation) the following:

• Election and Proration Procedures (a) An election form and other appropriate and customary transmittal materials (which shall specify that delivery shall be effected, and risk of loss and title to the certificates theretofore representing Seller Stock shall pass only upon delivery of such certificates to the Exchange Agent) in such form as Company and Seller shall mutually agree (“Election Form”) shall be mailed no less than 35 days prior to the anticipated Effective Time or on such other date as Seller and Company shall mutually agree (“Mailing Date”) to each holder of record of Seller Stock as of five Business Days prior to the Mailing Date (“Election Form Record Date”). Company shall make available one or more Election Forms as may be reasonably requested by all persons who become holders (or beneficial owners) of Seller Stock after the Election Form Record Date and prior to the Election Deadline (as defined below), and Seller shall provide to the Exchange Agent all information reasonably necessary for it to perform its obligations as specified herein. Each Election Form shall permit the holder (or the beneficial owner through appropriate and customary documentation and instructions) to elect (an “Election”) to receive either (i) Company Stock (a “Stock Election”) with respect to all of such holder’s Seller Stock, (ii) cash (a “Cash Election”) with respect to all of such holder’s Seller Stock, or (iii) a specified number of shares of Seller Stock to receive Company Stock (a “Combination Stock Election”) and a specified number of shares of Seller Stock to receive cash (a “Combination Cash Election”), subject to the provisions contained in this Agreement. Any Seller Stock (other than Seller Dissenting Shares) with respect to which the holder (or the beneficial owner, as the case may be) shall not have submitted to the Exchange Agent, an effective, properly completed Election Form received prior to the Election Deadline shall be deemed to be “Undesignated Shares” hereunder.

The books of account shall be maintained on the accrual method of accounting, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied.

• Transaction Procedures All series transactions for the Designated Series shall be consummated by payment to, or delivery by, the Custodian(s) from time to time designated by the Fund (the “Custodian”), or such depositories or agents as may be designated by the Custodian in writing, of all cash and/or securities due to or from the Series. The Subadviser shall not have possession or custody of such cash and/or securities or any responsibility or liability with respect to such custody. The Subadviser shall advise the Custodian and confirm in writing to the Fund all investment orders for the Designated Series placed by it with brokers and dealers at the time and in the manner set forth in Schedule A hereto (as amended from time to time). The Fund shall issue to the Custodian such instructions as may be appropriate in connection with the settlement of any transaction initiated by the Subadviser. The Fund shall be responsible for all custodial arrangements and the payment of all custodial charges and fees, and, upon giving proper instructions to the Custodian, the Subadviser shall have no responsibility or liability with respect to custodial arrangements or the act, omissions or other conduct of the Custodian.
