Portal Services

The Portal is a liquidity tool for professional institutional clients only, and is not intended for use by the general public. Through the Portal, the Client will have access to a certain number of investment companies registered under the Investment Company Act of 1940 ("1940 Act"), as amended. The funds include investment companies for which Northern may serve as a sponsor, investment adviser, manager, administrator, custodian, transfer agent or financial intermediary. The funds and share classes that Northern can make available on the Portal may change from time to time. Funds shares and other interests in funds purchased by the Client are held directly by Client. Northern does not provide custody services through the Portal; any custody services provided by Northern or an affiliate of Northern are to be governed by a separate agreement between the Client and the relevant Northern Trust affiliate providing the relevant services.

Portal Services. The features and options available to Clients through the Portal (the "Portal Services") may include, but are not limited to, the following:

    1. the ability to access the Portal through Northern Trust Passport, leveraging Northern's security access procedures coupled with single sign-on technology;

    2. the service of receiving and transmitting orders, allowing the Client an automated web-based process to transmit instructions for the purchase and redemption of shares of funds to the funds' administrator, transfer agent or equivalent;

    3. integration with fund transfer agents and direct access to effect transactions in the funds;

    4. the ability to view consolidated fund holdings, view information on the funds, perform research on the funds and perform analytics; and

    5. access to a client service team that will provide day to day Client support services, including but not limited to assisting with account maintenance, order transaction related activities, Client communication and correspondence and Portal issue resolution and training.

Users. Requests to change, remove or add authorized users of the Portal ("Portal Users") and user rights can only be made by the Client by completing and submitting appropriate documentation as required by the Bank. All changes and/or additions will only be effective once the Bank accepts and acts on the request.

In evaluating specific fund transaction features, the Client agrees to carefully consider the controls and limitations on user rights available for transactions, and implement those that are suitable for the Client in light of the Client's operations and intended use of the transactions feature.

Accounts. Prior to establishing access to the Portal, the Client will be required to complete, sign and deliver to the Bank a Portal User Profile Set-up form; and, for U.S. Clients, have an existing client agreement with the bank. In order to access any of the funds through the Portal, the Client will also be required to establish an account with the desired fund (a "Fund Account") by executing client account documentation required by the fund, or by directing the Bank to facilitate the opening of Fund Account on the Client's behalf. The Client agrees to provide any information or documentation required by any fund in relation to establishing and maintaining a Fund Account and as requested by the Bank for purposes of providing access to the Portal.

Documentation. In connection with the implementation of the Portal Services, the Client agrees to complete and provide to the Bank a signed Portal User Profile Set up form and any other information the Bank may require to establish the Portal Services and comply with applicable laws, including but not limited to information required to establish the identity of Portal Users and other persons authorized to act on behalf of the Client in connection with the Portal Services. The Client represents and warrants to the Bank that all information provided to Northern in connection with the establishment and ongoing administration of the Portal Services is true, accurate and complete and will notify Northern if any information subsequently becomes untrue, inaccurate or incomplete. Northern is entitled to rely upon the accuracy of all information and authorizations received in the implementation process. The Client agrees to notify the Bank immediately in writing of any change in the status of the Portal Users or individuals authorized to provide information to the Bank in connection with the administration of the Portal Services. You agree, on behalf of the Client, that the Client shall indemnify and hold harmless each of (a) the Bank, its affiliates and the directors, officers, employees, contractors and agents of the Bank and each affiliate and (b) the relevant Fund from and against all fines, penalties, levies, costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by any of the above persons arising out of (i) any failure to notify the Bank of any change in the status of the Portal Users or (ii) any ineligible investment in any Fund as a consequence of any such change in status.

The Client acknowledges that Northern may be required to disclose certain Client information, including without limitation, anti-money laundering documentary evidence and other due diligence information, to the funds, a competent regulatory authority or another affiliate, and the Client consents to Northern's disclosure of such information. The Client agrees to waive any applicable confidentiality requirements.

Direct Access Transactions. The Portal provides the Client with the ability to grant Portal Users the authority to initiate purchases and sales of available classes of shares or other interests in funds directly to the funds or the funds' administrators, transfer agents or equivalent ("Transactions"). Please carefully read a fund's prospectus and consider that all Transactions are subject to all account policies and requirements described in a fund's prospectus. Transactions through the Portal are Client self-directed through direct access from the Portal to the fund's administrator, transfer agent or equivalent. The Client is solely responsible for any and all investment decisions and resulting Transactions placed with a fund through the Portal, and the Client acknowledges that Northern (in its capacity as Portal Operator) (a) is not acting as a fiduciary or an advisor for the Client, (b) shall have no responsibility to review or make recommendations, (c) shall have no liability for any such Transactions, and (d) does not provide and has no responsibility to provide investment, legal, or tax advice and will not, under these Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions, provide such services to the Client. The Client acknowledges and agrees that the provision of any financial, investment or market information through the Portal or otherwise does not constitute a recommendation by Northern of any security or investment strategy. Certain information on the Portal is obtained from third party sources and therefore Northern does not guarantee its accuracy or completeness.

Procedures. The Client is responsible for transmitting purchase orders and delivering required payment for shares or units in funds on a timely basis. All orders must be placed, and purchases and sales made, in accordance with procedures established by the Bank and the funds from time to time. The Client is responsible for all losses and expenses in relation to its investment in a fund, and purchase orders may be cancelled, in the event of any failure to make payment according to the procedures outlined in a fund's prospectus. The Client is solely responsible for monitoring the status of its Transactions and orders. Orders that are transmitted and have a pending status are not considered accepted and confirmed. The Bank may at any time request instructions from the Client and may await such instructions without incurring liability. The Bank has no obligation to act in the absence of such requested instructions, but may without liability take any action that it deems appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Portal Services. Bank shall be entitled to rely on any order as having been duly authorized by the Client without any duty or obligation to investigate the accuracy or correctness of the order, or the authenticity or extent of the authority exercised.

The Client accepts and acknowledges that it has an affirmative duty to timely review any and all reports of executions of orders and/or statements of accounts provided in accordance with these Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions for accuracy and correctness.

Settlement. The Client acknowledges that the Client is responsible for transmitting payment to the corresponding fund in accordance with the fund's requirements in order to complete any purchase Transaction initiated through the Portal. Income and other proceeds from funds are paid directly to the Client. The Client acknowledges that Northern (in its capacity as Portal Operator) is not responsible, and shall not be liable, for actions taken by a fund related to the execution of any Transaction, pricing of a security for a Transaction, or any fees or gates imposed by a fund for any reason. The Client agrees to indemnify and hold Northern harmless from and against any interest, charges or other obligations, damages, costs or expenses that are incurred or suffered by Northern in its capacity as Portal Operator as a result of the Client's failure to make payment for a purchase Transaction as required by a fund or to otherwise follow Transaction procedures established by the Bank and the funds. The Client further acknowledges that in the event of the sale of units or shares of a fund, Northern is not responsible, and assumes no liability, for the transmittal of monies from the fund to the Client. The foregoing is without prejudice to any separate agreement(s) that may be in place between the Client and Northern or an affiliate of Northern governing the provision of separate services to the Client, including but not limited to custody services, banking services or fund services.

Termination. These Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions shall continue in full force and effect until terminated by Northern or the Client at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice. Access to the Portal shall automatically cease upon such termination. Such termination shall be without prejudice to the completion and/or settlement of Transactions already initiated and/or executed and will not affect outstanding rights or obligations. These Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions will apply to such rights and obligations until all Transactions have been closed out, settled or delivery effected and all liabilities finally, unconditionally and irrevocably discharged.

In addition, the Bank may suspend or terminate access to the Portal with immediate effect if (a) you or the Client have breached a material obligation under these Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions or violated any applicable law in connection with the Portal Services; (b) the continued provision of the Portal Services in accordance with the Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions would, in Northern's good faith opinion, violate any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any requirement, policy or directive of any regulatory authority, or subject Northern to an unacceptable risk of loss; (c) the Bank believes in its sole discretion that you no longer have the authority to bind the Client to these Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions or to Transactions; or (d) the nature of the client relationship between Client and the Bank has changed.

Not an Offer. The materials and information posted here are presented for informational purposes only, and are not an offer or solicitation for the purchase or sale of any securities or financial instruments or to provide any investment service or investment advice.

Suitability. Money market funds mentioned herein may not be suitable for all investors. Clients must make independent decisions regarding any money market funds mentioned herein. The information on this site does not constitute a recommendation of any investment strategy or product for a particular investor. Any reliance you may place on the accuracy of this information is at your own risk.

Fund Requirements. The Client consents to the delivery of all prospectuses, Statements of Additional Information ("SAI") and other fund documents, including supplements and updates thereto (together, "Fund Documentation"), electronically via the Portal. The Client agrees to rely upon either the Fund Documentation available on the Portal or the related website of funds offered for information relating to a fund, including information on any fund charges and expenses.

The Client is solely responsible for maintaining any records of Transactions required to be maintained by it by applicable law.

Costs and charges. The Client shall be responsible for all costs associated with its access to the Web Sites and use of the Portal Services.

(a) Northern Trust fees and charges: Subject to the foregoing, Northern shall provide the Portal Services to the Client at no charge. Northern reserves the right to introduce, upon reasonable advance notice to the Client, a charge for access to the Portal in the future.

Your fund account statement is the official record of your holdings and balances.

Access; Security; Privacy

In order to access the Portal through the Web Sites, Portal Users must login and may be required to complete such security processes as the Bank may require from time to time. Client agrees that the foregoing access procedure is reasonable and accepts such access procedure. The Client will be fully responsible for protecting against the unauthorized use of any passwords, identification numbers, and similar security information. The Client will establish and maintain such procedures as it deems necessary and appropriate to protect the confidentiality of all passwords, identification numbers and security codes against unauthorized use. The Client shall strictly limit access to the Portal to Portal Users. The Client hereby acknowledges and consents to Northern's reliance on the fact that any person using the foregoing access procedure is authorized by the Client to do so, and such person may access the Portal through the Web Sites on behalf of the Client. If either you or the Client install any software or enables any service that stores information from the Web Sites on any mobile device or computer, it is yours and the Client's responsibility, prior to disposal or transfer of such device, to remove that information and otherwise disable access to such software or service, in order to prevent unauthorized access to the Client's information or account. If the Client becomes aware of any suspicious or unauthorized conduct concerning its accounts, identification numbers, logins, passwords, or security challenge questions and answers, the Client agrees to contact the Bank immediately. Northern will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from the Client's or your failure to comply with this paragraph.

Northern has established security procedures for the protection of Client information and transactions available through the Web Sites. However, the security of this information depends in part on the security of the computer that the Client uses to communicate with Northern, the security that the Client uses to protect identification numbers and passwords, and the security provided by the Client's Internet service provider. You acknowledge on your own behalf and on the behalf of the Client that you have reviewed the Northern Trust Online Services - Security Overview and agree that the security procedures described therein are acceptable and reasonable to yourself and the Client.

The Bank may temporarily suspend a Portal User's access to the Web Sites if a) the Portal User does not comply with applicable security procedures or b) Northern believes that Portal User's access to the Web Sites may be compromised such that continued access may result in a security breach or fraudulent Transaction. The Portal User may contact the Bank for information regarding his or her suspension of access. Northern will provide information to the Portal User to assist in eliminating the possible compromise. The Bank may permanently suspend a Portal User's access to the Web Sites if the Portal User is unable or unwilling to comply with the security procedures. The Bank will notify the Client of any Portal Users whose access have been permanently compromised.

To provide better services to our clients and more effective web sites, Northern gathers and analyzes online data, including number of hits, pages visited, length of user session, etc., and uses "cookies." A cookie is a small piece of information stored by a web site on the Portal User's computer hard drive so that the web site can remember who the user is as well as help the user navigate the site. These cookies do not collect personally identifiable information, and Northern does not combine data collected through cookies with other Client information. For more information about cookies, their uses and instructions on modifying related browser settings, you may visit public sites and other public resources on the subject. For further information about Northern's policy regarding the use of personally identifiable information, see Northern's Privacy Policy.

Money Market Funds Risk Disclosure

A general description of the nature and risks of a particular fund can be found in that fund's Fund Documentation.

You could lose money by investing in money market funds.

Although certain money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at $1.00 per share, they cannot guarantee it will do so. Certain money market funds maintain a market value NAV so the share price of the money market fund will fluctuate, and when you sell your shares they may be worth more or less than what you originally paid for them. Certain money market funds may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if such money market fund's liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors.

An investment in a money market fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC"), any other government agency, or The Northern Trust Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries or any other bank. A money market fund's sponsor has no legal obligation to provide financial support to the money market fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the money market fund at any time.

The Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") has not approved or disapproved these securities or passed upon the adequacy of any money market funds' prospectus. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal offense.

Shares of money market funds are offered only by a current prospectus and are intended solely for persons to whom shares of U.S. registered funds may be sold. Eligibility for a particular money market fund is subject to such fund family's final determination and acceptance.

For more complete information about a money market fund, including investment policies, risk considerations, charges and expenses, a prospectus or summary prospectus may be obtained by calling 1-844-544-4472 or by downloading a prospectus from the Portal. An investor should read the prospectus carefully before investing or sending money.

Always read the Fund Documentation and consider the Fund's specific investment objectives and risks before investing.

If you have trouble obtaining a prospectus or other Fund Documentation, contact us. Not all classes of shares or units may be available to every Client or to every account in the Client's name. Not all Funds are available to all Clients, in all domiciles.

Please read and consider the investment objectives, risks, charges and expenses of the funds carefully before investing. The prospectus or summary prospectus contains this and other information about the funds. Always read the prospectus or summary prospectus carefully before you invest or send money. To obtain a prospectus call 1-844-544-4472 or email NT_Liquidity_Portal@ntrs.com.

Nothing contained in the Web Sites or any page thereof constitutes an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any security, nor shall any such security be offered or sold to any person in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation, purchase, or sale would be unlawful under the securities laws of such jurisdiction.

Northern Institutional Funds- Money Market Portfolios

Northern Trust Investments, Inc., a subsidiary of Northern Trust Corporation, serves as the investment adviser and administrator of the Northern Institutional Funds- Money Market Portfolios. The Northern Trust Company, an affiliate of Northern Trust Investments, Inc., serves as transfer agent, custodian and sub-administrator to the Northern Institutional Funds- Money Market Portfolios, for which it receives compensation for transfer agent and custodian services. Northern may provide other services to the Money Market Portfolios and receive compensation for such services if consistent with the 1940 Act and the rules, exemptive orders and no-action letters issued by the SEC thereunder.

Shares of Northern Institutional Funds- Money Market Portfolios are distributed by Northern Funds Distributors, LLC ("NFD"). NFD is not affiliated with Northern.

Non-Proprietary Money Market Funds- Service Fees and Revenue Sharing Disclosure

Northern has entered into agreements with certain of the non-proprietary money market funds and/or their investment advisers, distributors and their affiliates (collectively, "Fund Sponsors") pursuant to which Northern may receive a fee or commission from the funds made available on the Portal in connection with the Portal Services. Such arrangements and compensation are generally described in the prospectus or SAI for such funds. The Client consents to and acknowledges Northern's receipt of the compensation described in this section. The Client acknowledges having read the foregoing, and understands that [Northern will rely on such consent and on the enabling statutes and regulations which govern the Portal in the use of non-proprietary money market funds and/or their Fund Sponsors paying Northern fees in connection with the Portal and provision of Portal services.]

Northern may receive revenue sharing fees from certain non-proprietary money market funds and/or their Fund Sponsors. Northern may also receive service fees in consideration for Portal services that it provides to those funds. Please review the additional information provided below concerning these fees.

Fund Sponsors may pay Northern compensation, out of their own assets and not as an additional charge to each fund (although the entity's revenues or profits may reflect fees paid to them by the fund), in connection with the Portal and provision of Portal services ("revenue sharing").

Revenue sharing payments received by Northern in respect of a fund are paid at any annualized rate and are calculated and paid monthly based on the average daily net asset value of the shares or units of that Fund held by all Clients during the period. The amount of these payments is determined at the discretion of the Fund Sponsors from time to time, may be substantial, and may be different for different funds based on, for example, the nature of the services provided by Northern.

Revenue-sharing payments may present a conflict between the interests of Northern and your interests because the prospect of receiving, or the receipt of additional compensation described above by Northern may provide Northern with an incentive to favor Transactions in a particular fund over Transactions in funds with respect to which Northern receives lower levels of additional compensation. Although money market funds from different mutual fund families are available through Northern, this is only part of the universe of money market funds that are available to you in the marketplace. You may wish to take such payment arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any recommendations relating to fund shares and you should discuss this matter with your financial advisor and review each fund's prospectus, other Fund Documentation and any other disclosures prior to investing in any fund.

Northern may enter into additional revenue sharing arrangements or change or discontinue existing arrangements with a fund and/or Fund Sponsors at any time without notice.

For additional information on a particular fund's payment and compensation practices, please refer to the fund's prospectus and SAI.

Client Classification

The Portal is a liquidity tool for professional clients only and is not intended for use by the general public.

For the purposes of these Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions, Northern has categorised the Client as a professional client for the purposes of Directive 2014/65/EU ("MiFID II"). This replaces any previous categorisation set out in documentation between Northern and the Client in respect of its use of the Portal. Professional clients are considered to possess the experience, knowledge and expertise to make their own investment decisions and assess the risks inherent in their decisions. Northern is providing an execution-only service through the Portal and therefore will not conduct appropriateness tests in respect of the Portal Services (as defined below). The Client has the right to request a different categorisation by writing to Northern. Re-categorisation may involve a lower level of client protections. Northern shall advise the Client separately of any limitations, should Northern receive such a request. However, Northern does not offer the Portal Services to retail clients.

Portal Services

Through the Portal, the Client will have access to certain funds that Northern is able to make available in the Client's jurisdiction, including UCITS as defined in Article 1(2) Directive 2009/65/EC (as amended from time to time) ("the Funds", each a "Fund"). At all times Northern will have absolute sole discretion as to the Funds available on the Portal.

Shares, units and other interests in Funds purchased by the Client are held directly by the Client. Northern does not provide custody services through the Portal; any custody services provided by Northern or an affiliate of Northern are to be governed by a separate agreement between the Client and the relevant Northern Trust affiliate providing the relevant services.

Portal Services. The features and options available to Clients through the Portal (the "Portal Services") may include, but are not limited to, the following:

    1. the ability to access the Portal through Northern Trust Passport, leveraging Northern's security access procedures coupled with single sign-on technology;

    2. the service of reception and transmission of orders, allowing the Client an automated web-based process to transmit instructions for the purchase and redemption of shares or units in Funds to the Fund's administrator, transfer agent or equivalent;

    3. integration with fund transfer agents and direct access to effect transactions in the Funds;

    4. the ability to view consolidated Fund holdings, view information on the Funds, perform research on the Funds, and perform analytics; and

    5. access to a client service team that will provide day to day Client support services, including but not limited to assisting with account maintenance, order transaction related activities, Client communication and correspondence and Portal issue resolution and training.

Users. Requests to change, remove or add authorised users of the Portal ("Portal Users") and user rights can only be made by the Client by completing and submitting appropriate documentation as required by Northern. All changes and/or additions will only be effective once Northern accepts and acts on the request.

In evaluating specific Fund transaction features, the Client agrees to carefully consider the controls and limitations on user rights available for transactions, and implement those that are suitable for the Client in light of the Client's operations and intended use of the transactions feature.

Accounts. Prior to establishing access to the Portal, the Client will be required to complete, sign and deliver to Northern a Portal User Profile Set-up form; and, for U.S. Clients, have an existing client agreement with Northern. In order to access any of the Funds through the Portal, the Client will also be required to establish an account with the desired Fund (a "Fund Account") by executing client account documentation required by the Fund, or by directing Northern to facilitate the opening of a Fund Account on the Client's behalf. The Client agrees to provide any information or documentation required by any Fund in relation to establishing and maintaining a Fund Account and as requested by Northern for purposes of providing access to the Portal.

Documentation. In connection with the implementation of the Portal Services, the Client agrees to complete and provide to Northern a signed Portal User Profile Set-up form and any other information Northern may require to establish the Portal Services and comply with applicable laws, including but not limited to information required to establish the identity of Portal Users and other persons authorised to act on behalf of the Client in connection with the Portal Services. The Client represents and warrants to Northern that all information provided to Northern in connection with the establishment and ongoing administration of the Portal Services is true, accurate and complete and will notify Northern if any information subsequently becomes untrue, inaccurate or incomplete. Northern is entitled to rely upon the accuracy of all information and authorisations received in the implementation process. The Client agrees to notify Northern immediately in writing of any change in the status of the Portal Users or individuals authorised to provide information to Northern in connection with the administration of the Portal services. You agree, on behalf of the Client, that the Client shall indemnify and hold harmless each of (a) Northern, its affiliates and the directors, officers, employees, contractors and agents of Northern and each affiliate and (b) the relevant Fund from and against all fines, penalties, levies, costs, claims and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees incurred by any of the above persons arising out of (i) any failure to notify Northern of any change in the status of the Portal Users or (ii) any ineligible investment in any Fund as a consequence of any such change in status.

The Client acknowledges that Northern may be required to disclose certain Client information, including without limitation, anti-money laundering documentary evidence and other due diligence information, to the Funds, a competent regulatory authority or another affiliate or group company, and the Client consents to Northern's disclosure of such information. The Client agrees to waive any applicable confidentiality requirements, including but not limited to those under Article 41 of the Luxembourg law of 5 April 1993, where Northern Trust Global Services S.E. discloses information considered as confidential in accordance with any applicable laws.

Direct Access Transactions. The Portal provides the Client with the ability to grant Portal Users the authority to initiate purchases and sales of available units, classes of shares or other interests in Funds directly to the Funds or the Funds' administrators, transfer agents or equivalent ("Transactions"). All Transactions are subject to all account policies and requirements described in a Fund's prospectus. Transactions through the Portal are Client self-directed through direct access from the Portal to the Fund's administrator or transfer agent. The Client is solely responsible for any and all investment decisions and resulting Transactions placed with a Fund through the Portal, and the Client acknowledges that Northern (in its capacity as Portal Operator) (a) is not acting as a fiduciary or an advisor for the Client, (b) shall have no responsibility to review or make recommendations, (c) shall have no liability, for any such Transactions, does not provide and has no responsibility to provide investment, legal, or tax advice and will not, under these Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions, provide such services to the Client. The Client acknowledges and agrees that the provision of any financial, investment or market information through the Portal or otherwise does not constitute a recommendation by Northern of any security or investment strategy. Certain information on the Portal is obtained from third party sources and therefore Northern does not guarantee its accuracy or completeness.

Order handling. When transmitting instructions for the purchase and redemption of shares or units of Funds, we will do so in accordance with our Order Execution Policy as amended from time to time. The latest version of the Order Execution Policy is available on our website here: Order Execution Policy. By accepting these Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions the Client hereby provides its express consent for Northern to execute Client's orders outside a regulated market, multilateral trading facility or organised trading facility where we reasonably believe it is in your best interests to do so. You hereby acknowledge that you have read our Order Execution Policy and, by your acceptance of these Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions, accept its contents on behalf of the Client. Northern will treat the Client as having consented to the Order Execution Policy where it transmits orders for the purchase and redemption of shares or units of Funds through the Portal.

Procedures. The Client is responsible for transmitting purchase orders and delivering required payment for shares or units in Funds on a timely basis. All orders must be placed, and purchases and sales made, in accordance with procedures established by Northern and the Funds from time to time. The Client is responsible for all losses and expenses in relation to its investment in a Fund, and purchase orders may be cancelled, in the event of any failure to make payment according to the procedures outlined in a Fund's prospectus. The Client is solely responsible for monitoring the status of its Transactions and orders. Orders that are transmitted and have a pending status are not considered accepted and confirmed. Northern may at any time request instructions from the Client and may await such instructions without incurring liability. Northern has no obligation to act in the absence of such requested instructions, but may without liability take any action that it deems appropriate to carry out the purposes of the Portal Services. Northern shall be entitled to rely on any order as having been duly authorised by the Client without any duty or obligation to investigate the accuracy or correctness of the order, or the authenticity or extent of the authority exercised.

The Client accepts and acknowledges that it has an affirmative duty to timely review any and all reports of executions of orders and/or statements of accounts provided in accordance with these Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions for accuracy and correctness.

Settlement. The Client acknowledges that the Client is responsible for transmitting payment to the corresponding Fund in accordance with the Fund's requirements in order to complete any purchase Transaction initiated through the Portal. Income and other proceeds from Funds are paid directly to the Client. The Client acknowledges that in its capacity as custodian, Northern is authorised, but not be obligated, to advance its own funds to complete transactions in cases where adequate funds may not otherwise be available to the Client 's cash account maintained with Northern (the "Cash Account") and that in such situations Northern shall be entitled to repayment of the funds so advanced as well as Northern 's applicable fee for providing advancement of such funds. The Client recognises that any decision to effect an advancement of Northern 's own funds to the Cash Account will be an accommodation granted entirely at Northern 's option. The Client shall make Northern whole for any losses incurred from granting such accommodations and acknowledges Northern shall be entitled to debit any relevant amounts from the Cash Account or otherwise recover any relevant amounts on demand from the Client.

All amounts due to Northern shall be debited from the Cash Account by Northern unless otherwise paid on a timely basis and Northern has a continuing lien on all assets of the custody account maintained by Northern to secure such payments. Northern may apply or set off against such amounts any amounts credited by or due from Northern to the Client. If funds in the Cash Account are insufficient to make any such payment the Client shall promptly deliver to Northern the amount of such deficiency in immediately available funds when and as notified by Northern. The Client also acknowledges that Northern (in its capacity as Portal Operator) is not responsible, and shall not be liable, for actions taken by a Fund related to the execution of any Transaction, pricing of a security for a Transaction, or any fees or gates imposed by a Fund for any reason. The Client agrees to indemnify and hold Northern harmless from and against any interest, charges or other obligations, damages, costs or expenses that are incurred or suffered by Northern in its capacity as Portal Operator as a result of the Client's failure to make payment for a purchase Transaction as required by a Fund or to otherwise follow Transaction procedures established by Northern and the Funds. The Client further acknowledges that in the event of the sale of units or shares in a Fund, Northern is not responsible, and assumes no liability, for the transmittal of monies from the Fund to the Client. The foregoing is without prejudice to any separate agreement(s) that may be in place between the Client and Northern or an affiliate of Northern governing the provision of separate services to the Client, including but not limited to custody services or fund services.

Termination. These Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions shall continue in full force and effect until terminated by Northern or the Client at any time by giving 30 days' prior written notice. Access to the Portal shall automatically cease upon such termination. Such termination shall be without prejudice to the completion and/or settlement of Transactions already initiated and/or executed and will not affect outstanding rights or obligations. These Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions will apply to such rights and obligations until all Transactions have been closed out, settled or delivery effected and all liabilities finally, unconditionally and irrevocably discharged.

In addition, Northern may suspend or terminate access to the Portal with immediate effect if (a) you or the Client have breached a material obligation under these Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions or violated any applicable law in connection with the Portal Services; (b) the continued provision of the Portal Services in accordance with the Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions would, in Northern's good faith opinion, violate any applicable law, rule or regulation, or any requirement, policy or directive of any regulatory authority, or subject Northern to an unacceptable risk of loss; (c) Northern believes in its sole discretion that you no longer have the authority to bind the Client to these Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions or to Transactions; or (d) the nature of the client relationship between Client and Northern has changed.

Fund Requirements. The Client consents to the delivery of all prospectuses and other Fund documents, including but not limited to key investor information documents ("KIIDs"), target market information ("Target Market Information"), supplements and updates thereto (together, "Fund Documentation"), electronically via the Portal. The Client agrees to rely upon either the Fund Documentation available on the Portal or the related website of Funds offered for information relating to a Fund.

The Client is solely responsible for maintaining any records of Transactions required to be maintained by it by applicable law.

The Client hereby undertakes that it will take into account the Target Market Information for a Fund when distributing any shares or units in that Fund.

Costs and charges. The Client shall be responsible for all costs associated with its access to the Web Sites and use of the Portal Services.

    (a) Northern Trust fees and charges: Subject to the foregoing, Northern shall provide the Portal Services to the Client at no charge. Northern reserves the right to introduce, upon reasonable advance notice to the Client, a charge for access to the Portal in the future.

    (b) Costs and charges associated with an investment in a Fund through the Portal: Northern shall provide ex-ante information on the forecasted costs and charges associated with an investment in a Fund through the Portal along with information on any service fees and revenue sharing arrangements (please see below). The information about all costs and charges shall be aggregated and an itemised breakdown shall be provided on request. Such ex-ante information relies on data or information provided by a Fund and Northern does not give any representation or warranty as to the accuracy of such underlying data or information. Northern shall provide information annually on the actual costs and charges incurred by the Client from all Transactions during the year. Notwithstanding the foregoing, by agreeing to these Liquidity Solutions Portal Terms and Conditions the Client hereby agrees to a limited application to the fullest extent permitted by MiFID II of the detailed costs and charges requirements set out in Commission Delegated Regulation (EU) 2017/565.

Access; Security; Privacy

In order to access the Portal through the Web Sites, Portal Users must login and may be required to complete such security processes as Northern may require from time to time. The Client agrees that the foregoing access procedure is reasonable and accepts such access procedure. The Client will be fully responsible for protecting against the unauthorised use of any passwords, identification numbers, and similar security information. The Client will establish and maintain such procedures as it deems necessary and appropriate to protect the confidentiality of all passwords, identification numbers and security codes against unauthorised use. The Client shall strictly limit access to the Portal to Portal Users. The Client hereby acknowledges and consents to Northern's reliance on the fact that any person using the foregoing access procedure is authorised by the Client to do so, and such person may access the Portal through the Web Sites on behalf of the Client. If either you or the Client install any software or enables any service that stores information from the Web Sites on any mobile device or computer, it is yours and the Client's responsibility, prior to disposal or transfer of such device, to remove that information and otherwise disable access to such software or service, in order to prevent unauthorised access to the Client's information or account. If the Client becomes aware of any suspicious or unauthorised conduct concerning its accounts, identification numbers, logins, passwords, or security challenge questions and answers, the Client agrees to contact Northern immediately. Northern will not be liable for any loss or damage arising from the Client's or your failure to comply with this paragraph.

Northern has established security procedures for the protection of Client information and transactions available through the Web Sites. However, the security of this information depends in part on the security of the computer that the Client uses to communicate with Northern, the security that the Client uses to protect identification numbers and passwords, and the security provided by the Client's Internet service provider. You acknowledge on your own behalf and on behalf of the Client that you have reviewed the Northern Trust Online Services - Security Overview and agree that the security procedures described therein are acceptable and reasonable to yourself and the Client.

Money Market Funds Risk Disclosure

A general description of the nature and risks of a particular Fund can be found in that Fund's Fund Documentation.

In respect of money market funds generally; you could lose money by investing in a Fund. Although certain money market funds seek to preserve the value of your investment at 1.00 per share, they cannot guarantee it will do so. Certain money market funds maintain a market value NAV so the share price of the fund will fluctuate, and when you sell your units or shares they may be worth more or less than their original cost. Certain money market funds may impose a fee upon the sale of your shares or may temporarily suspend your ability to sell shares if the fund's liquidity falls below required minimums because of market conditions or other factors (e.g. redemption activity). An investment in a money market fund is not a deposit of any bank and is not insured or guaranteed by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme, any other government agency, any other guarantee scheme, or The Northern Trust Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries or any other bank. There are Deposit and Investment Protection Schemes in the UK and EEA which act as compensation schemes of last resort for clients of authorised financial services firms where a firm is in default. Eligible claimants may have the right to claim compensation from these schemes up to set limits. For additional information on whether there is a scheme applicable to a particular fund, please refer to the fund's prospectus. A money market fund's sponsor has no legal obligation to, and it may be prohibited from, providing financial support to the Fund, and you should not expect that the sponsor will provide financial support to the fund at any time. Always read the Fund Documentation and consider the Fund's specific investment objectives and risks before investing.

If you have trouble obtaining a prospectus or other Fund Documentation, contact us. Not all classes of shares or units may be available to every Client or to every account in the Client's name. Not all Funds are available to all Clients, in all domiciles.

Service Fees and Revenue Sharing Disclosure

Northern may receive a fee or commission from the Funds made available on the Portal in connection with the Portal Services. Northern shall only accept such fee or commission to the extent permissible by applicable law and in particular MiFID II. Northern does not receive such a fee or commission in respect of proprietary Northern Trust funds made available on the Portal for whom Northern Trust Global Investments Limited acts as investment manager.

Revenue sharing payments received by Northern in respect of a Fund (such revenue sharing payment with a Fund or Fund Sponsor, a "Service Fee") are paid at an annualized rate and are calculated and paid monthly based on the average daily net asset value of the shares or units of that Fund held by all Clients during the period. Service Fees range from one to ten basis points, where a single basis point means 0.01%. The precise amount of a Service Fee will be determined at the discretion of the Fund Sponsors from time to time, may be substantial, and may be different for different Funds based on, for example, the nature of the services provided by Northern.

Service Fees may present a conflict between the interests of Northern and your interests because the prospect of receiving, or the receipt of additional compensation described above by Northern may provide Northern with an incentive to favor Transactions in a particular Fund over Transactions in Funds with respect to which Northern receives lower levels of additional compensation. Although money market funds from different fund families are available through Northern, this is only part of the universe of money market funds that are available to you in the marketplace. You may wish to take such payment arrangements into account when considering and evaluating any recommendations relating to fund shares and you should discuss this matter with your financial advisor and review each Fund's prospectus, other Fund Documentation and any other disclosures prior to investing in any Fund.
