Extent of Services Executive will devote all of his working time, attention and skill to the duties and responsibilities set forth in Section 3. To the extent that such activities do not interfere with his duties under Section 3, Executive may participate in other businesses as a passive investor, but (a) Executive may not actively participate in the operation or management of those businesses, and (b) Executive may not, without the Company’s prior written consent, make or maintain any investment in a business with which the Company or its subsidiaries has an existing competitive or commercial relationship.
Quality and Extent of Services The Board considered the terms of the Agreement, including the scope of advisory services provided under the Agreement. The Board noted that, under the Agreement, XXXX provides portfolio management services to the Fund and that, pursuant to a separate administrative services agreement, DIMA provides administrative services to the Fund. The Board considered the experience and skills of senior management and investment personnel and the resources made available to such personnel. The Board also considered the risks to XXXX in sponsoring or managing the Fund, including financial, operational and reputational risks, the potential economic impact to XXXX from such risks and XXXX’s approach to addressing such risks. The Board reviewed the Fund’s performance over short-term and long-term periods and compared those returns to various agreed-upon performance measures, including market index(es) and a peer universe compiled using information supplied by Morningstar Direct (“Morningstar”), an independent fund data service. The Board also noted that it has put into place a process of identifying “Funds in Review” (e.g., funds performing poorly relative to a peer universe), and receives additional reporting from XXXX regarding such funds and, where appropriate, XXXX’s plans to address underperformance. The Board believes this process is an effective manner of identifying and addressing underperforming funds. Based on the information provided, the Board noted that, for the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021, the Fund’s performance (Class A shares) was in the 2nd quartile of the applicable Morningstar universe (the 1st quartile being the best performers and the 4th quartile being the worst performers). The Board also observed that the Fund has outperformed its benchmark in the one-, three- and five-year periods ended December 31, 2021. Fees and Expenses. The Board considered the Fund’s investment management fee schedule, operating expenses and total expense ratios, and comparative information provided by Broadridge Financial Solutions, Inc. (“Broadridge”) and the Fee Consultant regarding investment management fee rates paid to other investment advisors by similar funds (1st quartile being the most favorable and 4th quartile being the least favorable). With respect to management fees paid to other investment advisors by similar funds, the Board noted that the contractual fee rates paid by the Fund, which include a 0.097% fee paid to XXXX under the Fund’s administrative services agreement, were higher than the median (3rd quartile) of the applicable Broadridge peer group (based on Broadridge data provided as of December 31, 2021). The Board noted that the Fund’s Class A shares total (net) operating expenses (excluding 12b-1 fees) were expected to be higher than the median (3rd quartile) of the applicable Broadridge expense universe (based on Broadridge data provided as of December 31, 2021, and analyzing Broadridge expense universe Class A (net) expenses less any applicable 12b-1 fees) (“Broadridge Universe Expenses”). The Board also reviewed data comparing each other operational share class’s total (net) operating expenses to the applicable Broadridge Universe Expenses. The Board noted that the expense limitations agreed to by XXXX were expected to help the Fund’s total (net) operating expenses remain competitive. The Board considered the Fund’s management fee rate as compared to fees charged by XXXX to comparable DWS U.S. registered funds (“DWS Funds”), noting that XXXX indicated that it does not provide services to any other comparable DWS Funds. The information requested by the Board as part of its review of fees and expenses also included information about institutional accounts (including any sub-advised funds and accounts) and funds offered primarily to European investors (“DWS Europe Funds”) managed by DWS Group. The Board noted that XXXX indicated that DWS Group does not manage any institutional accounts or DWS Europe Funds comparable to the Fund. On the basis of the information provided, the Board concluded that management fees were reasonable and appropriate in light of the nature, quality and extent of services provided by DIMA.
Alterations, Modifications and Additions The Owner shall, or shall cause a Permitted Lessee to, make (or cause to be made) alterations and modifications in and additions to the Aircraft, Airframe and each Engine as may be required to be made from time to time to meet the applicable standards of the FAA or other Aviation Authority having jurisdiction over the operation of the Aircraft, to the extent made mandatory in respect of the Aircraft (a “Mandatory Modification”); except for (i) immaterial and non-recurring violations with respect to which corrective measures are being taken promptly by Owner or a Permitted Lessee and (ii) any law, rule, regulation or order the validity or application of which is being contested in good faith by the Owner or any Permitted Lessee in any reasonable manner which does not materially adversely affect the Indenture Trustee’s interest in the Aircraft, does not impair the Indenture Trustee’s security interest or International Interest in the Aircraft and does not involve any material risk of sale, forfeiture or loss of the Aircraft or the interest of the Indenture Trustee therein or any material risk of material civil penalty or any material risk of criminal liability being imposed on the Indenture Trustee or the holder of any Equipment Note. In addition, the Owner, at its own expense, may, or may permit a Permitted Lessee at its own cost and expense to, from time to time make or cause to be made such alterations and modifications in and additions to the Airframe or any Engine (each an “Optional Modification”) as the Owner or such Permitted Lessee may deem desirable in the proper conduct of its business including, without limitation, removal of Parts which the Owner deems are obsolete or no longer suitable or appropriate for use in the Aircraft, Airframe or such Engine; provided, however, that no such Optional Modification shall (i) materially diminish the fair market value, utility, or useful life of the Aircraft or any Engine below its fair market value, utility or useful life immediately prior to such Optional Modification (assuming the Aircraft or such Engine was in the condition required by this Trust Indenture immediately prior to such Optional Modification) or (ii) cause the Aircraft to cease to have the applicable standard certificate of airworthiness except that such certificate of airworthiness temporarily may be replaced by an experimental certificate during the process of implementing and testing such Optional Modification and securing related FAA re-certification of the Aircraft. For the avoidance of doubt, Owner may make alterations in the passenger configuration of the Aircraft and such alterations shall not constitute an Optional Modification. All Parts incorporated or installed in or attached to any Airframe or any Engine as the result of any alteration, modification or addition effected by the Owner shall be free and clear of any Liens except Permitted Liens and become subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture; provided that the Owner or any Permitted Lessee may, at any time so long as the Airframe or any Engine is subject to the Lien of this Trust Indenture, remove any such Part (such Part being referred to herein as a “Removable Part”) from such Airframe or an Engine if (i) such Part is in addition to, and not in replacement of or in substitution for, any Part originally incorporated or installed in or attached to such Airframe or any Engine at the time of delivery thereof hereunder or any Part in replacement of, or in substitution for, any such original Part, (ii) such Part is not required to be incorporated or installed in or attached or added to such Airframe or any Engine pursuant to the terms of Section 4.02(d) or the first sentence of this Section 4.04(d) and (iii) such Part can be removed from such Airframe or any Engine without materially diminishing the fair market value, utility or remaining useful life which such Airframe or any Engine would have had at the time of removal had such removal not been effected by the Owner, assuming the Aircraft was otherwise maintained in the condition required by this Trust Indenture and such Removable Part had not been incorporated or installed in or attached to the Aircraft, Airframe or such Engine. Upon the removal by the Owner of any such Part as above provided in this Section 4.04(d), title thereto shall, without further act, be free and clear of all rights of the Indenture Trustee and such Part shall no longer be deemed a Part hereunder. Removable Parts may be leased from or financed by third parties other than the Indenture Trustee. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Indenture, Owner may, at any time, install or permit to be installed in the Aircraft Passenger Convenience Equipment owned by Owner or any Permitted Lessee or by third parties and leased or otherwise furnished to Owner in the ordinary course of business (including pursuant to a conditional sale contract, a licence or otherwise), and Owner may remove (and not replace) or permit to be removed (and not replaced) the same, and Indenture Trustee shall not acquire a Lien thereon by virtue of such installation or otherwise, and the rights of the owners therein shall not constitute a default under this Trust Indenture, it being acknowledged and agreed, however, that in no event shall the installation of any such Passenger Convenience Equipment impair or otherwise affect the rights and remedies of the Indenture Trustee hereunder and under applicable law.
