No. H-04-25 (S-2) ============= Page 2 of 13 ============= 3. Charges and Fees. (a) For its advisory services hereunder, Goldman Sachs shall be entitled to the fees and terms of payment as set forth in Appendix B to this Agreement, as such Appendix may be amended from time to time by written agreement of the parties. Goldman Sachs may, at its discretion, make payments out of such fees to any affiliate or other person(s) The Client is responsible for payment of brokerage commissions, commission equivalents, transfer fees, registration costs, taxes and other costs and transaction-related expenses and fees arising out of transactions in the Investment Account, and the Client hereby authorizes Goldman Sachs to incur such expenses for the Investment Account. (b) Goldman Sachs and its affiliates shall be entitled to retain any commissions, commission equivalents and/or dealer spreads that may be realized in connection with transactions effected for the Investment Account. Goldman Sachs personnel, including those persons primarily responsible for management of the Investment Account, may receive compensation consisting of a portion of the advisory fees and any commissions or commission equivalents and/or dealer spreads charged to the Investment Account pursuant to this Agreement. The Client therefore understands that a potential conflict of interest exists because Goldman Sachs and/or its personnel have an economic interest in transactions effected for the Investment Account, whether effected with or through Goldman Sachs or its affiliates under a directed brokerage arrangement as described in Section 5(a), or otherwise. Furthermore, the Client acknowledges and agrees that, to the extent that the Client has been referred to Goldman Sachs by an employee of Goldman Sachs or any of its affiliates, or by a third parry, Goldman Sachs may, in its discretion, make payments out of such fees, commissions or commission equivalents directly or indirectly to said person(s) as compensation for such referral. (c) If Goldman Sachs is acting as custodian, custodial fees for the Investment Account, if any, will be charged separately by Goldman Sachs and are not included in Appendix B unless specifically set forth therein. (d) If Goldman Sachs is acting as custodian, the Client authorizes and directs Goldman Sachs to either debit the Investment Account or bill the Client directly for all remuneration and expenses payable hereunder. If a third party acts as custodian for the Investment Account, the Client authorizes Goldman Sachs to invoice such third parry for all remuneration and expenses payable hereunder. (e) The Client hereby authorizes Goldman Sachs to charge and retain commissions on all exchange transactions effected for the Investment Account. Goldman Sachs shall, with respect to transactions subject to Section 11(a) of the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, annually provide the Client with information disclosing any such commissions charged e-.n.d .. .....:~...~ by "~ G_, _.._,_.. ............. luman Sachs. 4. Reports and Other Information. Goldman Sachs shall provide the Client with reports containing information regarding the status of the Investment Account on a quarterly basis, or otherwise as the Client and Goldman Sachs may from time to time agree. Such reports will include a measure of performance based upon the change in valuation of the investment Account during the reporting period. Valuations reflect Goldman Sachs' good faith effort to ascertain fair market values based on pricing and valuation information believed by Goldman Sachs to be reliable. However, these valuation levels may not be realized upon liquidation and Goldman Sachs will not be responsible for any errors with respect thereto. Market conditions and transaction size may affect liquidity and the price received upon liquidation. 5. Execution of Transactions. (a) Client understands that it is not obligated to direct Goldman Sachs to execute transactions for the Investment Account through Goldman Sachs or its affiliates. However, in consideration of the receipt by the Investment Account of valuable research, reporting, and other account services from Goldman Sachs and the individualized service, advice, overall performance, and expertise to be provided by Goldman Sachs hereunder, Client hereby authorizes and directs Goldman Sachs to execute all transactions for the Investment Account through Goldman Sachs or its affiliates. Client acknowledges that, by so directing, commission rates and execution for Investment Account transactions may not be as favorable as those that could be obtained if Goldman Sachs opened an account for the Client at another broker-dealer. LAY-G20 0894 LBF001-00884 ============= Page 3 of 13 ============= (b) Client hereby authorizes and directs Goldman Sachs to execute transactions for the Investment Account in its capacity of agent or principal, as Goldman Sachs shall determine, in accordance with applicable regulations and Goldman Sachs' internal policies. Client acknowledges that Goldman Sachs' determination of the capacity in which it will act in a given situation may not result in the best price for the Client with respect to a particular transaction. Transactions in underwritten securities, as well as transactions in most fixed income securities and certain less liquid securities, generally will be effected directly with Goldman Sachs or its affiliates as principal. Other principal transactions may be effected directly with Goldman Sachs or its affiliates in limited circumstances. Client acknowledges that current regulatory requirements may limit Goldman Sachs' ability to deal with the Investment Account on a principal basis. Goldman Sachs will normally comply with such regulatory requirements by following the procedures described in this Section 5(b) and Appendix C. However, inasmuch as such procedures are not the exclusive means of complying with the applicable regulatory requirements, Goldman Sachs reserves the right to take any other actions that would result in compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements. In addition, Client agrees that, in the event of changes in applicable regulations relating to principal transactions, or Goldman Sachs' interpretation thereof, the provisions of this Section 5(b) and/or Appendix C may be modified by Goldman Sachs in any manner which, in its judgment, complies with the then existing regulatory requirements. Client understands that such modifications may include, for example, Goldman Sachs' ability to effect principal transactions with the Investment Account in any or all types of securities without prior notice to, or consent from, Client. Client agrees that any modifications anticipated by this Section 5(c) will become effective upon Goldman Sachs' giving written notice thereof to Client. Goldman Sachs will normally charge the Client a commission when it acts as agent in executing a transaction for the Investment Account. When acting as principal, Goldman Sachs will normally charge the Client a "mark-up," or a "mark-down," (or other commission equivalent) in the net price at which transactions are executed. (c) In addition to all other permissible investments, Goldman Sachs may, in its sole discretion, invest the Investment Account in any open-end or closed-end investment company, unit investment mist or other collective investment fund. registered or non-registered, for which Goldman Sachs or any of its affiliates serves as investment adviser ("Affiliated Fund"). In connection with such investments, the Client will pay all fees pertaining to the Affiliated Fund and no portion of any A-ffiliated Fund's advisory, administrative or 12b-1 fee will be offset against fees payable in accordance with the fee schedule hereunder, provided, however, that Goldman Sachs will not charge the advisory fee, as set forth on Appendix B attached hereto, in respect of that portion of the Client's assets (other than those assets consisting of short-term cash balances) invested in any Affiliated Fund. The Client may revoke its consent to investment in Affiliated Funds at any time by written notice to Goldman Sachs. 6. Aeenev Cross Transactions Client authorizes Goldman Sachs and its affiliates to execute agency cross transactions (i.e., transactions where Goldman Sachs or its affiliates act as broker for both the Client and thecounterparty to the transaction) for the Investment Account when so permitted by Goldman Sachs' policies. Client understands and agrees that, when so acting, Goldman Sachs or its affiliates may receive commissions or commission equivalents from, and may have a potentially conflicting division of loyalties and responsibilities regarding, both parties to such transactions. Client's authorization to Goldman Sachs to execute agency cross transactions for the Investment Account is terminable at will without penalty, effective upon receipt by Goldman Sachs of written notice from the Client. 7. Custodian. Unless Client specifically directs otherwise, Client authorizes Goldman Sachs to serve as the ctrstodiarn for the Investment Account. If Client directs that an entity other than Goldman' Sachs serve as the custodian for the Investment Account, the Client agrees to require the custodian to send to the Client and to Goldman Sachs. no less than quarterly, a statement showing all transactions between the Investment Account and the Client's account at the custodian. Client also agrees to instruct such custodian to provide Goldman Sachs with such additional periodic reports concerning the status of the Investment Account as Goldman Sachs may reasonably request from time to time. 8. R_enresentations and Warranties of Goldman Sachs. Goldman Sachs hereby represents, warrants to and agrees with the Client that (i) this Agreement has been duly authorized, executed and delivered by Goldman Sachs and constitutes its legal, valid and binding obligation and (ii) Goldman Sachs is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as an investment adviser under the Investment Advisers Act of 1940 (the "Advisers Act").

Discinsures and Representations Re_ardinp "Speculatinn" and "Trading Profits". Disclosure of Risk An Investment Account identifying "Speculation" or "Trading Profits" as its first or second investment priority may be traded aggressively in an attempt to maximize short-term gains, and less conservative positions may be established with the objective of achieving above-average returns. As a result, activity in the Investment Account may be more risky and the volume may be substantially higher than that of accounts with objectives such as safety of principal or income, and there may be considerable use of leverage. Additional Representations by Fiduciaries Since the activity described in the immediately preceding paragraph may not always be appropriate for all fiduciary accounts, each of the fiduciaries of the Investment Account (collectively, the "Fiduciaries") represents that the above-described selection and ranking of investment objective is suitable for the Investment Account and is in conformity with the Investment Account's purpose and financial condition, applicable law, governing documents and applicable fiduciary responsibilities. In addition, each of the Fiduciaries agrees that i) any one or more of the Fiduciaries is authorized to reaffirm the above representation and to make such other representations as are requested by Goldman Sachs and ii) Goldman Sachs is entitled to rely on such representations as the duly authorized act of all of the Fiduciaries which will be binding on the Investment Account and all the Fiduciaries. 10 LAY-G20 0902 _BF001-00892 ============= Page 11 of 13 ============= APPENDIX B FEE SCHEDULE The Client shall pay or cause to be paid to Goldman Sachs as remuneration for its investment management services an annual investment management fee pursuant to the schedule set forth below: For equity, balanced or onnortunistic accounts: First S 10 million of assets 1.00% Next $10 million of assets 75 basis points ("bp") For fixed income accounts: First $10 million of assets 40 by Next $10 million of assets 30 by Each quarter a base fee will be calculated on the average of the value of the Investment Account on the last business day of each month.
